Nava Thai serves the best, most authentic Thai Cuisine using only the finest, freshest local ingredients.<\/p>\n
Based in Ashtead High Street, Nava Thai, is owned and run by lifelong Thai friends and business partners Saitarn and Nawarat. They saw a gap in the Surrey market for a traditional Thai takeaway that serves the best Asian dishes as well as a modern twist on classic dishes.<\/p>\n
Nava Thai first opened in 2020 at the start of lockdown and despite the pandemic managed to forge a highly successful business with hundreds of regulars and fans. You only have to take a look at their 54 Google Reviews page to see the inroads they have made in under 2 years.<\/p>\n
Before Nava Thai came along there was only 2 other Thai restaurants worth visiting in the area. Now there is only one \u2013 Nava Thai!<\/p>\n

OUR EXPERIENCE<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our first time at Nava Thai was amazing. We asked for the most popular 4 main dishes and a selection of starters and were pleasantly surprised with the selection \u2013 it was a smorgasbord of food plentiful to feed the 4 guests we had.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Starters consisted of Chicken Satay, Si Kong Moo Yang (pork ribs marinated in a homemade sauce) and Tempura Prawn with a Sweet Chilli Dip.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All three were sublime. The crispiness of the Tempura was incredible seeing as though it was a takeaway dish and had been sealed for 15 minutes before delivery. The Ribs literally fell off the bone because the meat was so succulent and tender and the sauce was sweet with a hint of spice. The Satay consisted of three skewers of marinated chicken and peanut sauce to die for!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For Mains we were presented with the Nava Crispy Chicken Cashew which was stir fried chicken with cashew nuts, peppers, onions and chilli \u2013 flavoursome yet incredibly healthy as only a light sauce to accompany.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next up was the Pad Preaw Wan which comes in 3 options of Chicken, Prawn or Veg and Tofu \u2013 we had the Prawn which was so delicious and the sweet and sour sauce was perfect \u2013 not too sickly sweet as we\u2019ve experienced with Asian cuisine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Honey Chicken and Garlic Pepper Duck were also favourites \u2013 well presented meat dishes with amazing flavours and large portion sizes meant all 4 guests were able to have 3 or more large slices of meat with more still to go round. We had a Khao New (or sticky rice) and a Pad Thai to accompany and it easily went round our diners \u2013 with some left for the next day. Not a lot though!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And what\u2019s more as well as being the best Thai we have had so far in Surrey – the entire bill was under \u00a365. That is incredible value especially for the quality of the dishes we had.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We were so impressed with Nava Thai that we have been back 8 times since. And guess what, we can\u2019t wait to go back again!<\/p>\n
