About
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

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

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

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
