Navaratna is a vegetarian Indian restaurant in Stamford that offers a diverse menu of both North and South Indian cuisines. Known for its authentic South Indian dishes, the restaurant provides a wide range of dietary options, including kosher compliance. The Potlin Paneer Samosa, filled with creamy and rich paneer, is a must-try, along with the Fried Mango Honey Stick, which offers a sweet mango flavor with a hint of honey.
Customers frequently praise the excellent South Indian food, especially the dosas, which are considered far superior to other local options. The Butter Paper Dosa is notable for its super thin, crispy, and buttery texture, while the Masala Dosa remains a popular choice. The Bhindi Chettinad, a spicy okra dish, and the Palak Paneer, a classic spinach and paneer curry, are also highly recommended. The restaurant's ability to accommodate dietary restrictions, including kosher dairy, is highlighted, and the friendly, welcoming staff enhance the dining experience. Vegan options are available, though they may not always be clearly marked, so asking the staff is advisable.
The casual and humble atmosphere makes Navaratna a great place for family meals or casual dining with friends. There is ample room for kids and strollers, and the space is wheelchair accessible, featuring a small step at the front door. Parking is available with free street parking after 5 pm on Sundays. Recent reviews note that the service has improved, with staff being understanding and caring about customer happiness. Customers also enjoy the delicious Mango Lassi, which is a popular complement to meals. The lentil donuts are recommended as a savory treat that comes with dipping sauces, adding to the overall delightful dining experience at Navaratna.
