Came on a weekday for lunch at 11. Great atmosphere and friendly service fluent in English. The crispy noodles with sauces that are complimentary are excellent. The aloo chaat, quinoa salad, vegetable tandoori, and tomato soup were excellent and flavorful. Not too spicy (wife prefers mild). The mango and ginger drinks were excellent as well. Overall an awesome experience. Would come back to playa coco just for this restaurant!
Overall we went there 4 times to dine in 2 days. Lunch twice and take out for dinner one night. Before leaving we stopped by for the carrot dessert after eating lunch.
Shinde the manager is the most hospitable restaurant host I’ve met. Very kind and polite. He does everything from running this location, serving, and cleaning.
This is a couple blocks from the touristy places and the food is way better than the other restaurants around in terms of the quality and flavor.
The Aaloo chana quinoa chaat, quinoa karma salad, palak paneer, tomato soup, Palak paneer, carrot dessert, brownie, garlic naan and kulfi trio were our favorites. Minor feedback - The tikka masala was slightly oiler than we prefer and wish their takeout containers weren’t single use plastic.
Overall excellent service and food at a reasonable price. Don’t miss this! Surprisingly a highlight of our trip to CR. We are very familiar with Indian food in NYC, north NJ, and Cleveland and this one...
Read moreDuring our recent visit to Guanacaste, Costa Rica, we stumbled upon a true culinary gem, Nan’s and Curries, an ethnic Indian restaurant with multiple locations and now one of our absolute favorites in the area.
From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. Our server, Shinde, went above and beyond with his impeccable recommendations, and we’re so glad we followed his lead.
We started with refreshing mango lassis and perfectly crisp pakoras, which set the tone for an incredible meal. Of course, we had to try the classic chicken tikka masala, accompanied by fragrant basmati rice and pillowy garlic naan, each dish bursting with rich flavor and expertly prepared.
One unexpected bonus, indoor seating. If you’ve ever visited Costa Rica during mosquito season, you’ll appreciate how wonderful it is to enjoy an amazing meal without the uninvited buzzing company. The indoor atmosphere was cozy, clean, and provided a relaxing escape from the outdoor elements.
We’re staying in the area for seven days and already planning a return visit before we leave. If you’re craving authentic Indian cuisine with top-tier service in a comfortable setting, Nan’s and Curries is not...
Read moreFor locals, travelers, or anyone in between look no further than Naans and Curry for your next meal. They are a short walk from Playa del coco beach, placed inside a beautiful glass front building. Once you enter you are immersed into the Indian Culture. Beautiful artwork on the walls and decor hanging from the ceiling. Quiet calming music and greeted by the wait staff that are friendly and able to recommend dishes for any palate. We choose the Aaloo Chana Quinoa Chaat, a chickpea salad that is fresh and full of flavor. We also did the Samosas and the Bread basket. Both items were so fresh prepared and some of the best we have had. We also added the Scallops coconut Curry, which packed the best flavor and well cooked scallops. Plus the curry was great to dip the naan into. We finished it off with a turmeric milk tea accompanied by their flan. I’ve never had Indian Flan. But oh my, it was fantastic. The waiter brought us wet hand towels at the end of the meal, which if you have little kids, they will love the magic with this experience. At the end of everything we got a bowl of what I’d say is the most interesting palate cleanser. Even this was amazing. Don’t skip this place during your Costa Rica experience. Bring yourself, partner, family. There’s so much to...
