Navas is a malaysian indian restaurant run by owner/chef krishnan a swiss-trained chef .The mainly alcarte menu means the food served is fresh and homemade sauces makes the cuisine here stand out .The roti are also handmade which also means that krishnan can make egg roti and murtabak .
Malaysian indian curries will differ from indian cuisine in that its not tomato base but rather masala base and spices are whole and not grinded.Our spice level is also not kiwi level but malaysian as chillie base are home made. Navas Malaysian Restaurant.

The food here is as good as it gets, where are all the foodies? Just wish we could go more often, who wants to baby sit?
More customers would give it the buzz it needs, is there anything wrong with the location? The food speaks for it self, lovely genuine owners with passion. Do we really give a.. about the decor.. sorry I was too busy enjoying my meal :D

Delicious food and wonderful service, the Murtabak and beef rendang were highlights. Perhaps could play more authentic music and a bit louder to create a bit more atmosphere? Great place though and will be back.

such a shame this restaurant is not frequented!! it is some of the best curries around, esp with the roti’s !! decor is like sitting in a School Staff room, there is no warmth or intimacy here and everyuthing is mis-matched and amateurly decorated. an injection of capital for the Ponsonby restaurant would make this a hot spot. Sadly, shallow as we are, we judge on how a place looks first.

It’s hard to find good Malaysian food in Auckland but Navas stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Recommend the murtabak.
