A boutique restaurant nestled in and amongst the slopes and foothills of Stanmore, BNOVA serves modern Indian cuisine with a contemporary twist. The concept is a world away from the traditional curry house; our philosophy and style is tasteful but simple. We aim to create a lasting and memorable experience – filled with happy moments and wonderful flavours. The menu pays homage to the roadside culinary geniuses of India who provide us with the sounds, tastes and smells that have popularised Indian food the world over. These street vendors working in the sweltering heat nourish the appetites of busy office workers, rickshaw wallahs, shoppers and urbanites. Like them our food is simple, lovingly…

Amazing starters!

My wife and I were peckish but not feeling massively hungry. Once we started eating our starters though, we could not help ourselves! The kebabs were divine! We also a chicken tikka special which was also lovely. We had great service with little extras thrown...in. Would highly recommend if you enjoy Indian food.More

Stylish, modern and friendly

I had my 50th birthday here after a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. We chose a Sunday afternoon as I wanted it quiet and it certainly was but it just meant we got the undivided attention of the staff. Everyone was...delighted with the quality of the food and stylish presentation. The decor was modern, spacious but still welcoming. From the street outside nothing really stands out, so this really is a hidden gem. I'd love to go back and try more from the menu.More

Brilliant service

We hosted my dad's birthday party here and I would recommend wholeheartedly. The food was tasty and the guest feedback was generally amazing. We had a few people with food allergies or intolerances which were all accommodated. On the night, we were running a little...behind schedule and Jay and his team handled the timing of the food superbly. Hats off to all the staff, great job. We had a happy family at the end of the evening. Thank you Nikhil and the team.More

Delicious and fresh!

Just had a takeaway from here. Food arrived promptly and it was really lovely. The tikka paneer was truly delicious, and the dal was great. The paratha was fresh. The popadoms were great - would’ve loved the option of mint sauce with popadoms, but that’s...the only negative I can think of!More

I went with 4 friends for lunch. Service was very friendly. A lot of the dishes I was familiar with but all were much tastier and more flavoursome than I have had before.
