Navaratna - London

Excellent as per the reviews. This is proper South Indian food with great dosa, vada, incredible bread and fabulous mushroom rice. A testament to how good this place must be, is the presence of many Indian families dining there. Highly recommended.

I have been coming here for years with a friend and we always thoroughly enjoy our meal here. This is a top spot for Dosa and authentic South Indian Cuisine. We have the same dishes all the time paneer majestic, chicken 65 to start with, followed by one of the delicious dosas on offer. And at every visit the food is delicious, fresh and tastes the same as our first visit which is the the reason why we keep coming!!!. We always feel welcome and receive excellent customer care here. The chef also makes an appearance to greet customers and is open to recieving feedback from customers. We are so pleased that they are still open after the pandemic. Such a gem in the heart of Croydon.

We went to Navaratna's for my husband's birthday dinner. The highlights were the mango lassi, lemon rice and the paneer masala curry. I only had veg so cannot comment on the meat dishes but it was nice that the restaurant was both veg and non-veg friendly which made it easier for my family with different requirements. The staff were friendly and made sure dishes were nut-free when required. The ambience was pleasant and it was all at a very reasonable price.

Visited this lovely family run restaurant for the first time on Saturday… and had to come back on Thursday for more! Some fantastic options for vegetarians, including crisp dosa, spicy chilli fried dishes and some very nice lassis. The staff were very attentive and we had great meals both times. Highly recommend!

Me and my husband went there a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to add the review and now finally doing it. We had dosa, lemon rice and fish curry and it was super delicious and presented very well. The owner (I think a respectable old man) was very nice and friendly and made sure that we are comfortable and enjoying our food. I will definitely be taking my son and family there soon. Thanks again!!
