Time Out says Rate it

Noiya in Lavender Hill serves up Indian mainstays but the menu also lists some more imaginative specials. From the signature column, we ordered hydra lamb - succulent chunks of meat stewed with chickpeas in a rich tomato and cumin gravy. The dish was served with nariyal pilau, basmati rice steamed with sweet coconut shavings. From the clay oven, our waiter recommended mahi king prawns pickled with yoghurt, mint and mustard seeds. Despite the elegant presentation, the prawns were rather overwhelmed by too many flavourings. A mildly spiced muchuri dhal from the menu's vegetarian selection came with a side chutney of toak (spiked gravy made with chargrilled tomatoes, garlic and bay leaves). With only two waitors, service was down to crawl at time.

We found Noiya on google as one of the highest ranked restaurants in south west London. My girlfriend and I had to pay them a visit after all the fantastic reviews we read. We parked up on a side road after there was no parking available in front of the bar as it had been taken up by what my girl friend quoted as a "car showroom in front" fantastic looking cars all dinners of Noiya.
as we entered we had been informed we have a few tables available and the out side decking had been booked up from a week ago, very impressed for a Wednesday night.
the food was amazing, lightly spiced with a fusion kick of Caribbean spices totally mouth watering. The cocktails were very unique, never had we seen a rainbow cocktail with so many bright colours.

We will be returning with more friends, to sample the whole menu.

Had a brilliant meal here last night. Staff were friendly and although the service took a little bit longer than we would have liked, the food was completely worth it. So nice to see an interesting range of dishes rather than same old, same old. Will be returning again soon!
