Narvana - New Indian & Bangladeshi cuisine restaurant

[db]

Remind them they still need to get their website sorted

i keep meaning to mention it, but am usually too caught up in the banter & atmosphere (read: drunk) to remember!

tbf, if you google "narvana stafford" we are the second result, and the google preview mentions "glowing reports", so i'm sure that they are quite happy with us doing the job for them atm

I think it's more Mo needs some help sorting it out and hasn't had time to do it on his own.

Finally going tonight after many false starts. Is the Hyderbaldi the dish to try for a chicken curry fan?

Maybe it's Hyperbole..........

Do we have a decent quality copy of their menu anywhere?

EDIT: Yes we do, in my dropbox! May be a little OOD but here is the copy I do have:

I'm ordering tonight, so will ask for a new one and will scan/post it tomorrow.

Forgot to ask for a menu

The scram was top notch though, as always

We had another great meal for 4 and fantastic service last night at Narvana and they gave us the 2 for 1 "ssssshhhh don't tell anybody discount" on the main courses and complementary after meal drink.

It was nice to see other customers in there with about 5 or 6 other tables occupied.

They are holding an Oxfam Charity night on the 14th June 18.30 for 19.00, 3 course meal for £15 per head. Tickets on sale at Narvana 01785 603222 or Oxfam if anyone is interested.

can the next visitor find out if they do asian desserts, ras malai and gulab jamin, please.

From my previous visits, no they don't. Generic pre-made ice cream desserts only. It's a shame really, Stafford really lacks somewhere that does Indian desserts.

Ooh, may have to get in on this

Will be going at the end of the month for my brothers birthday too, been a few weeks since I had a curry.

ATJ is correct pre made ice creams including Pingos, cheesecake and orange torte.

Ashiana do good desserts but you have to let them know in advance, it really is a pity.

I went to Narvana on Friday, was top notch as ever mmmm

funnily enough, we were talking about this the last time we were in there, albeit from the opposite perspective.. as in we were all having a giggle at the "pingu" style desserts, and the general consensus was "yeah, but who has a pudding when you go for a curry?!"..

i'm a chap who likes a good feed, but for some reason i always struggle to finish a curry, so would never consider having a pudding even if they were available! i dare say that's why most places don't do them..

 

[PeterD]

talking to patrons of indian and bangladeshi restaurants here and in telford, the reason they dont do them is because people dont know what they will be like and so dont order them, one even said people think they will be spiced.

Depends what you mean by 'spiced' I suppose. All the Indian desserts I've ever eaten have had spices in, although probably less than the great british mince pie....
