Robin Brace of Madison, who owns and operates True Bikram Yoga out of Madison and New Haven, is always looking for places that serve healthy, delicious food. Recently, she decided to give Nataz another try. The eatery, at 280 Branford Road in North Branford, recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. “I ate at Nataz in North Branford years ago and loved it! Went back last night and had another meal to remember,” Robin says. “It’s great to go into a place where they make it clear they are happy to have you. The food speaks for itself, excellent! I won’t wait so long next time!” The $35 per person prix fixe dinner menu that night featured mushroom ravioli with Gorgonzola and Robin says it was “out of this world.” The coconut pie was another big hit. Her friend Ashley had the spicy eggplant over spaghetti and that too was “delicous and fresh.” To find out more, visit natazrest.webs.com or call 203-315-0180.—Pem McNerney
