“ Just had a really lovely dinner here, the food was great and we left really full for a very reasonable price. The service was super quick and the server was sweet and attentive. Overall a good experience and we will definitely be back. The atmosphere was a little dead as it was a Monday night, but maybe with some dimmer lighting, updated furnishing and a different playlist it could have more of a feel to the place. ”

“ Had an awesome meal tonight! The appetizers with the crispy filled balls and the accompanying flavour shots (can't remember the name) were just brilliant. Starters were very tasty and the Dosa (which I have not been able to find in Fife at all) was stupendous. Super cosy restaurant and very friendly people. Ten out of ten, would go again (and try all the other Dosa) :-) ”
“ This is one of the finer Indian restaurants in Edinburgh, without a doubt. I ordered 2 starters - Idli Pepper fry and the paneer 65 which were fine I would say but the highlight of the show are the main courses. Their curries are spectacular and a very good value for money. The chetinnad chicken curry was made very authentically with the right amount of extra spice. Even the Goan curry with prawns was excellent. Overall - I really enjoyed my meal . ”
“ "I recently dined at Navarasa Restaurant, and I must say, the experience was truly exceptional! The South Indian cuisine flavors were rich and authentic, and the presentation was impressive. What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding service. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to explain the menu in detail, providing valuable insights into each dish. Her recommendations were spot on, and we appreciated her enthusiasm and passion for the cuisine. Overall, I highly recommend Navarasa Restaurant to anyone craving delicious, authentic South Indian food with exceptional service. ”
“ We are so happy that Navarasa opened and we finally have an amazing local Indian restaurant. The owners are so friendly and helpful, we always get warmly welcomed. We’ve tried both dining in and takeaway, both times the food was outstanding. If dining in, definitely try some items off the specialty menu, we love the curd balls (dahi puri). My boyfriend and I are planning to try the whole menu! ”
