Narvana — Restaurant in Stafford

I usually drop in here at the end of a good fair weather walk before walking further to get home. I don’t come here very often (the last time was last summer). But Narvana never disappoints. The food is always brilliant.

The sambals accompanying the poppadoms looked as though they had been prepared for me, not other places that will serve sticky spoons and dishes that look used.

The vegetable samosa starter was brilliant, crispy batter outers and a pleasantly spicy potato a d vegetable filling. This was served with an intriguing bright yellow sauce that enhanced the flavour further.

My main was Ghust Bahar, a hot spicy lamb dish. It’s more refined than a vindaloo which is always my go to favourite, but still nicely hot. That went down a treat with a fresh hot plain naan bread, pilau rice and a cucumber raita to be used as an extinguisher.

I finished the meal off with a good coffee served with a cinnamon biscuit and fresh cream.

The wine selection tonight, for wine by the glass, was a bit limited, but heh, don’t be stingy, order a bottle and you’ll have a bigger selection!

Highly recommended. I’ll be back, and so, I’m...

Went here without a table booked and the place was rammed, they still however managed to fit me in. I can see why this place was busy, the food was without doubt one of the best Indian meals I’ve had, it was literally perfect for me. On top of that you have a team of waiting staff working tirelessly to ensure you have everything you need. My only gripe, and this isn’t a fault of theirs is that I was time constrained with my table in order to fit me in, I knew this before sitting down so had to miss out on a starter and had to rush my food more than I’d have liked. I’m here in Stafford for another week so I’ll definitely be back. Top class food, top class waiters and waitresses and a top...

Good, friendly / helpful staff and good atmosphere with decent food.

I had the mixed platter starter which was very good, especially amazed at the yellow mint sauce, unique, sweet and full of delicious flavour, very impressed.

Followed by the lamb tawa which came out in a frying pan 🍳 cool but limited with the amount of meat, full of onions and peppers the sauce lacked the kick of a tawa curry, also had the peshawri naan which was impressive but didn’t have nuts / raisins but still very good freshly baked , also ordered the garlic vegetable sabzi which tasted like fresh veg mixed with frozen.

Had the mago lassi which lacked sweetness, better at Asda.

Very clean toilets and...
