Whether it's the fiery Chettinad spices, the rich and royal Hyderabadi flavours, or the subtle yet flavourful dishes of Kerala, we strive to bring you an authentic taste of South India in every bite. Cozy environment, smells the aroma. I had a great server & recommend most of these dishes to me. ENJOY!

Never again at this restaurant. Waited for 45 minutes and left without anything. Very poor service and bad customer service. Earlier management was great but the new one is totally messed up.

The unlimited dosa was okay. The dosa failed to impress me, with a meager filling of only one tablespoon. While spring dosa typically features Chinese-style filling, this rendition did not align with my taste preferences. It seemed more like a salad dosa, incorporating cabbage, potato, and chaat masala as the primary ingredients.

NAATU is a wonderful surprise nestled in a strip mall on a busy street. The biryani, a hallmark of Indian cuisine, is elevated to perfection here. Each grain of rice is infused with aromatic spices and tender, succulent pieces of meat, creating a symphony of flavors with every bite.The Chicken 65 was perfectly crispy on the outside, giving way to juicy, tender meat inside. The blend of spices was just right and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We will be back to try more dishes soon!
I love the atmosphere, but the service is not that great, we waited for 30+ minutes and we ordered Masala dosa and 30 minutes later one of the workers came and told us that there was no masala leftover we had to change our order and it took very long as well, the food is a 10/10, especially the tomatoe cream soup, which was very creamy and delicious. Very good food both veg and non veg.

Naatu is a nice quality, family-friendly Indian restaurant that serves tasty South Indian as well as North Indian dishes. On my recent visit, I had a good experience dining in as my party, and I received good service and tasty, flavorful food. The restaurant was semi-busy when we got there and afterward, it got even more busy. We did not have a reservation, so upon arrival, we were asked if we had one, and if not, there was a wait. We mentioned that we did not know that reservations were required. Luckily, due to the size of my group, we lucked out and scored a table pretty quickly. The service was prompt. The menu variety was good with lots of options from the different regional Indian cuisine varieties. I was in the mood for South Indian food. So, I ordered a dish called Guntur Chili Masala Dosa. It's a savory, fermented rice batter dosa (Indian style crepe) with seasoned potatoes filling. What stood out for me about this dish was that it was spicy dosa with a special chili paste inside it. That's why I ordered it. The others in my party also ordered South Indian dishes, and we also ordered a chili (saucy, not dry) sautéed paneer appetizer and saag (spinach) paneer with rice and garlic naan. Everybody in my group, including me, enjoyed the dishes we ordered. We liked the food for its quality and taste. The flavors and texture were delicious. The chutneys and sambar to go along with the dosas were quite tasty as well. The paneer dishes and garlic naan were to our liking as well. We all agreed that this restaurant is worth visiting again to try the other options they have on their menu. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. The ambiance was pleasant. It had nice decor and lighting. Despite being busy (which is good), the service was on point. Even the restaurant manager checked on us to see how we liked the restaurant and what we thought of the food. I have now found four suburban Indian restaurants (w/ Naatu being the fourth, new one) that serve good, tasty South Indian food. I definitely recommend checking out Naatu.

We loved it-mixed crowd at our table-some Indian some not- we ordered a variety of dishes - North Indian, South Indian, indo-Chinese. They crushed each one-particularly the chicken tikka - hands down-no one makes it more tender and juicy-I suspect this holds true for everything they make in their tandoor. Also, the dosa, uttupam, and veggie dishes were all slam dunks. Glad we stumbled upon this place-wel'll be back for sure.
