Once you step into Navas Cafe the delicious aromas wafting from the open kitchen will tempt you to try more than one dish from our menu.

Make sure you leave room for dessert, try the sago pudding or kueh bom pisang (baked banana pudding).

This is a little gem of a Malaysian at the K'rd end of Ponsonby Road. An open plan kitchen always has to be admired in a restaurant, for me it indicates the chef is passionate and wants to share the love with the patrons. Navas carries it out to perfection from the minute you enter the enticing aromas from the menu are tempting your taste buds. Try the lamb shank soup it is so amazing.

I ate here on the 18th of April 2012 and the food was absolutely fantastic. So tasty, I have travelled India and Malaysia and this was some of the best food I have ever eaten. I cannot rave about this place enough.
Fine the decor is a bit blah, but we hardly noticed because the food was sssooooooooo good.

AMAZING food! Like the other user said, the decor is a bit ho hum but there are plenty of places I love to eat at where the decor is secondary to the food. The owners are absolutely lovely and will be keen to discuss the dishes with you, very passionate. I hope this place doesn't stay a secret because everyone needs to eat here! Yum.
