This is some of the best Indian food I’ve had. The butter chicken was incredibly tender and the coconut naan had a wonderful balance of sweet and savory. We met the chef at the conclusion of our meal — he was charming, gracious, and informative. Our son has celiac disease and we discovered there are many dishes he can have. What a marvelous find. The restaurant opened in 2023 and we wish the owner the best of fortune.

I never knew cauliflower could taste so amazing until I ordered their cauliflower-65. Wow! Also a huge fan of the butter chicken samosa, and we once were lucky enough to get a special off-menu curry. Thank you for serving our community with such delicious food!

I loved the taste of the food served here and the service was also great ! I felt its a little over priced especially because there were no compliments like small amount of rice or roti with the curries which usually most Indian places would serve for that price range. Nevertheless, the taste and service was really very good. I loved the chai !! it was so aromatic and tasteful. Would definitely visit again if am around that area.

Excellent. We were just passing through on our way to London. So good we decided to stop here again on the way out. A humble family restaurant so catches you off guard how tremendous the food is. Favourites were the fish moily and butter chicken. We tried different naan and the saffron rice options too, all very good. The owner/chef mans the front on his own, a lovely gentleman who has clearly embraced the small town Ontario life. I can’t help but also comment on how clean the restaurant and washrooms are - always an indicator of what the state the kitchen is.

What a great find. We were camping nearby a d decided to go out for dinner as the weather was not cooperating. How glad we are to have found this place. The food was amazing. The care and attention to what is obviously home cooked meals was obviously. We knew we were in for a treat when the samosas appeared. Unlike any I have had before. Definitely start with some of those! Then came the garlic Naan. Again home made fresh and sooo delicious. The main courses were flavourful and delicious with just the right spice We will certainly be back whenever we are in the area

We're so lucky to have such an amazing chef in St Marys. Right from the moment that they opened I have tried multiple dishes and never once have I been disappointed. I'm telling you now if you truly want to experience their culture this is the guy. You never disappoint my friend

The little tiny girlfriend wanted some Indian cuisine for supper the other night. She had mentioned a couple in Stratford and I asked if she had been to Naina's in St Mary's. She said that she hadn't been there. I said my son and I had previously ordered from them but I've never been inside the restaurant to eat. Our decision was made simple. I told her about the saffron rice because we normally like the basmati. She ordered the Tikka masala chicken and I ordered the mango. Both were amazing. The owner is extremely polite and we will absolutely be returning. We both highly recommend Naina's

Simply fantastic and flavourful food! Superb service! What a find...I wish I lived closer to St Mary’s so that I could make it a regular stop! A must visit if you like Indian food. This is not your “run of the mill” Indian restaurant, however. Be prepared to be wowed!...The Chicken Tikka was delicious. The saffron rice was like eating clouds...so fluffy and tasty! The butter naan to die for...couldn’t help myself Ok that’s enough of my gushing!
