Nawa - Inspired Asian Cuisine & Cocktails 126 West Columbia Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802

"Exceptional spot for a work team dinner or a date night. The food was delicious and the space is dramatic and stylish. A few dishes to note were the extra crispy chicken wings and buns for appetizers. In particular the curry flight was a perfect pick to learn and share. The Rama and red and masama were standouts!"

"Had a chance to visit Nawa at the landing tonight. I had to say it was a very enjoyable experience. The upper dining room is very nicely appointed and has a nice vibe. I think it would also be a really nice experience eating at the bar too. We ordered the calamari appetizer. The breading was light and not overbearing. It also had a nice crunchy texture and great flavor. The calamari itself was tender! It came with a sweet chili sauce to dip the calamari rings in and I thought it was fantastic. It really complemented the light but flavorful breading of the calamari rings. I would say this is really up there with the calamari from the oyster bar. Nice job Nawa. On to the main course! We ordered the Drunken Lo Mein and the Pad Tie Me Up entrees. Both were ordered with chicken and both were ordered mild. I thought the Lo Mein noodles were the best part of that dish. They had good flavor but unfortunately I didn't think that flavor transferred over to the vegetables. I did enjoy the amount of vegetables that came in the dish. It was just unfortunate that the vegetables didn't seem to pick up the flavor. The Pad Thai Me Up was very good. The flavor was excellent and everything on the dish worked well together. The sauce made the dish I think but squeeze a little lime and sprinkle on some peanut and the dish became amazing. Overall, this was a great dining experience. The wait staff was excellent and the table setting was elegant. I would highly recommend this place and I look forward to going back and trying another dish or two. One note about about our seat was that we were next to a foldable area divider with a nice corner light that you see in some of the pictures. Unfortunately, we were right next to the restrooms and while it did not smell at all, sometimes the flush of the toilet ruined a bit of the experience. It's unfortunate that restaurants feel like they have to add that extra table right next to the hallway where the restrooms are. It was nicely hidden with the room divider and again it didn't smell. But still unfortunate that a table has to be placed there."

"Had a wonderful time at Nawa! Great service at the bar and their food is all great quality. I enjoyed the fried rice and a gin and tonic. The gin and tonic was fancy and tasted a little flowery which was nice. We also had some appetizers of the pork fluffy bun item. A must try! Would highly recommend and call ahead to make a reservation!"

"Tried this spot out for the first time. Bao was a little dried out. Papaya salad was delicious. Phad Thai Paloosa loaded with lump grab meat, scallops & shrimp was a nice twist on a favorite dish. Boxing chicken was crisp to perfection, the dipping sauce - tangy and full of flavor. Desserts were okay, real whipped cream would elevate the experience. Atmosphere and service - excellent. This is an Asian fusion eatery."

"We stopped by Nawa for dinner on a Wednesday night and were able to get in without reservations. We sat out on the patio for the premium people watching. Our experience was fantastic, loaded with great suggestions from the server, tasty drinks, unique entrees, and delicious desserts. We will definitely be back."
