No Nava for months, an oversight we corrected last weekend. I finally found a flaw: we rarely* order beef at Nava, but did this time in the Panang curry, and it was chewy and not great. But the spicy twice-cooked duck appetizer, pad thai and crispy duck kaprow were as good as ever, and I always appreciate the service, even though sometimes it takes a while to get the check.
Kaprow!
* – an exception is the beef mussamun curry, using fattier, more tender and flavorful beef than other Nava beef dishes, and available only as an occasional, fantastic special that I order and devour every rare chance I get.
