Nova Park Royal - (Near Camden, london)

3 /5 NP: We recently visited Nova Park Royal as a family for a children’s event they were hosting, which was a very different experience for us compared to our usual visits. I normally come to Nova in the evenings for shisha, drinks, and entertainment with friends on the weekends, so this was our first daytime visit — and our first time bringing the kids. The main reason for attending was the Gabby character meet-and-greet, which my children absolutely loved. The venue was set up in a very child-friendly way, with a bouncy castle and ball pit for the younger children, which was a lovely touch. The £5 charge per child to meet the characters felt reasonable, considering the entertainment provided and how excited the kids were. We were given a set menu, which offered a good variety of starters, mains, and desserts. Unfortunately, the food itself was a bit of a letdown for our family. The flavours were lacking overall, and although I requested my lamb chops to be cooked medium, they arrived quite well done and very chewy, so I couldn’t finish the meal. The gravy was also watery, cold, and lacked flavour. The burger and fries were fairly standard, and the kids’ meals weren’t really enjoyed either. The drinks were pleasant, but quite heavy on ice, which made them feel a little watered down. Overall, it was lovely to see Nova catering to families and children, and the effort put into the event itself was appreciated. While I don’t think I’d return for future daytime food events, I would definitely still come back for the evening atmosphere, shisha, and entertainment, which I’ve always enjoyed.

5 /5 Michaela: Had a great experience at NOVA. The steak was excellent, with plenty of starter options to choose from. The atmosphere was very nice and welcoming. The service—especially by Monsur—was amazing and made the evening even better. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

5 /5 Rummana: Beautiful atmosphere. Greeted by a lovely hostess who took us to our table straight away. Layout of the place is wonderful. Food was quick to arrive and absolutely everything was cooked perfectly. Drinks were interesting and some were definitely unique. Parking was no issue either. Would highly recommend!

4 /5 Miss Attraction: First time visit with friends. Very nice ambience and elegant. The starters were very nice. All our food choices were large portions and enjoyed our meals and my 4 Lamb chops, rice and shared recommended salad. It was surprising to see this restaurant at the Park Royal complex. Even the ladies were quite posh with the black and gold theme throughout the restaurant. You do have to book with a £10 deposit and remember to advice the staff to take it off your bill. The staff were very helpful and polite. I would definitely recommend a visit and would go there again.

5 /5 Sabrina Bouhadouna: We visited the restaurant for the first time yesterday and had an amazing experience. The service was outstanding, and I’d like to give a special thanks to Mohamed for his great energy, warm welcome, and professionalism. We’ll definitely be coming back!
