Great South Indian restaurant in Croydon

Always excellent food, really pleasant and helpful staff. A real treat of an evening out. I lived in Bradford for 30 years and this is the best Indian food I’ve had in Britain.

Great quality food and service! Starters were all amazing and full of flavour, and loved the paratha and chettinad curry for mains. Will definitely visit again

Many thanks to the whole team behind Navaratna. We came from my brother in laws birthday and they made the whole time special for the 5 of us. The food is wonderful and we appreciated the chef coming out to speak to all the guests about how our experience was. They took extra care to tell us what was good on the menu, as well as the special touches such as making a ribbon for the birthday cake knife. Can't wait to come back here again!

Navaratna never disappoints! The chilli idly is absolutely amazing—bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. The dosa is equally enjoyable, and the menu offers a fantastic variety of options to choose from. Always a pleasure to visit this kind, family-run, award-winning restaurant. The food is consistently wholesome and delicious. Looking forward to the next visit!

Good stuff Really very tasty South Indian dishes

1 star poor service We ordered takeaway to be delivered. We got half of an order and refused to deliver the rest of the order unless we paid the delivery charge so we asked for a full refund and they refused because of an incomplete order do not use this takeaway ever absolutely disgusting behaviour from a restaurant. Over 35 minutes on the phone talking to customer service To your reply, we ordered 3 dishes each comes with a veg curry you only supplied one curry to go with all 3 dishes. Be a little bit more honest in your reply and they’re not complimentary we pay for them as set out in your menu we also had to return the meal to get the refund and it was only then that someone apologised and explained to us that the 2 veg curries was left behind by the delivery driver

Always fab, been coming here for years. Amazing masala dosas!

Best South Indian found around. Been coming here for years, and it’s always been delicious. Dhal makhani and pepper chicken are sooo good!

Narayana and Kousalya provided us five star service.love the Briyani and butter naan. Old memory songs collection to vibe the atmosphere.

Authentic South Indian taste, highly recommended

Fantastic food and fantastic service - I cannot understand why this place is not full every night! But, I don’t want to tell everybody in case I can’t get a table!
