Navas Cafe

One of our favorite places before we left Ponsonby was a little Malaysian place called Navas Cafe. It was so undiscovered, we found we had to call ahead to let them know somebody was coming, lest they close early for the night. Last night we were in the area and so stopped in for dinner, and it was packed. Turns out they got a surprise stellar review in some magazine a few weeks ago, and overnight (literally!) they went from empty to packed every day. (Must have been an interesting staffing challenge.) Glad to see them doing well. We'd written them up a stellar review of our own a while back on a local restaurant ratings site, but alas, we just don't hold the same cache'. Which is too bad, 'cause our favorite place in St Heliers--Casa Casa (also coincidentally Malaysian)--is similarly undiscovered. We should become restaurant reviewers. Maybe the same reviewer will follow our trail here. :)
