After being away from Jersey for the last two years, there was one place at the very top of my culinary wishlist the second I stepped back on the island: Noya Shapla in St Aubin. Absence truly makes the heart grow fonder, and I can honestly say I have missed this food immensely.
Walking back through the doors, I was thrilled to find that it’s just as incredible as I remembered—if not better. The atmosphere in St Aubin is always lovely, but Joe and his team bring a level of warmth, hospitality, and charm that makes you feel instantly at home.
Now, let’s talk about the food. I ordered the Keema Chilli Masala, and it was an absolute triumph. If you appreciate a curry with some depth and a proper kick, this is a masterpiece. The minced lamb was incredibly flavorful, perfectly textured, and cooked in a rich, beautifully spiced sauce loaded with fresh garlic and chillies. It has that flawless balance of heat and complex flavor that is so hard to find elsewhere. Paired with a fresh, fluffy naan, it was pure heaven.
It is so comforting to know that despite two years away, the standards at Noya Shapla haven't slipped a fraction. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the flavors are vibrant, and the execution is flawless. If you are in Jersey—whether you’re a local, a returning visitor like me, or just passing through St Aubin—do yourself a huge favor and book a table. I won't be waiting another two years to come back, that's for sure!
Absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a memorable meal. The dishes are consistently delicious, from aromatic biryanis to perfectly balanced curries, all beautifully prepared and full of flavor. With attentive service and a welcoming ambiance, it’s a must-visit for anyone!
Visited Noya Shapla this evening and had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the front of house staff were incredibly welcoming, always smiling and providing excellent service throughout our visit…. We started with the Chicken Fuska and Lamb Chops, both cooked to perfection and definitely a 10/10. After a short break, we moved on to our mains: the Tandoori Mix Grill and Chicken Makhani with rice and bread and two sides The flavours were rich and perfectly balanced another 10/10 Everything from the food to the atmosphere was spot on. Definitely going back again soon Highly recommend Noya Shapla to anyone looking for top quality food and great service.

I was skeptical at first as i was told the food can be spicy but i asked for less spice and my meal came out fantastic!
For anyone going to Jersey on holiday or lives there I highly recommend Noya Shapla as a must have!
