Naya Restaurant — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

Hey Mo... if you're reading this.. this is Ian.. sorry my friend, I came back to amend my previous five star rating to a two star review.

Nope... Back again, changing this to one star. Following on from the review below, I went back for my refund and was accused of lying.

Loyal customer for years. Really sad.

Last three orders... same mistake. I'm vegetarian... But was given a meat dish by mistake.

Another £30 wasted. I can't afford to throw away money on the wrong order.

It's unlikely I'll try again.

Old reviews below before things went downhill:

If you come to Stratford upon Avon on holiday, visit Naya.

So years after I wrote my original review, I'm back to update it because things have changed.

It's still the same as it was, but somehow better. Naya worked hard to stay open during the pandemic and came out the other side stronger for it.

Occasionally when I can't get a table here, I choose to take a table at one of the other local Indian (Bangladeshi) restaurants in Henley or Stratford and although they are OK... They just don't hold up to the Naya.

The menu at the Naya is freshly cooked, varied and really well presented.

Truly a treasured restaurant in Warwickshire.

Original review: The Naya is easily my favourite restaurant and takeaway in Warwickshire.

The menu is interesting and varied and has a pleasant mix of the dishes you expect and some you wouldn't.

The all the dishes can be made vegetarian on request, even if a vegetarian option isn't listed. By far one of the most interesting is the 'Persian' curry, which has a rich sauce spiked with Naga pickle.

Nice Naga flavour, quite hot but not mind blowingly hot.

The staff are really friendly and poilte too.

As a resident of a neighbouring village, I eat in Henley every week. There's a reason reservations are recommended here, it's because it's where the locals eat after trying the other curry houses in Henley.

Odd Trivia: Jasper Carrott eats here. I've seen him here more than once in the 'Cosy...

My food was pretty tasteless, avoid the paneer shashlik unless you would like something mild tasting. I did eat it all at the time but did let the waiter know afterwards and asked if I could have an alternative. He said "you can but it will take along time" so I asked the waiter who had been looking after us and his reply was "I asked you earlier if everything was ok and you said yes". I wonder if he's ever heard of politeness- I suppose not given his response.i said yep i should have said something but didn't out of politeness. I did get an alternative and wasn't charged for it. I wouldn't eat here again and I wouldn't recommend it to...

I dined in The Naya last night with my friend. Our food was outstanding done to perfection. Chicken Dansak Madras hot bioled rice with a garlic Nann asked for extra coriander, nothing was to much trouble. I had ordered a takeaway for hubby so not to leave him out. His takeaway was ready for me as soon I was leaving. Hubby remarked saying that was the best chicken tika massage he had for a long time. He had egg fried rice and always has a well done Nann bread. Once again done to perfection. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Naya and staff. Great place to...
