Nai is now home to the now defunct tapas bar, Xunta. Xunta was inexpensive and a neighborhood joint, and the food was always appetizing, but never superior in the world of tapas. Nai's wide range of tapas are comparable to Spain's with their perfectly sized, mouthwatering portions. If only my stomach was as big as my eyeballs.
Albondiguillas Estofadas - stewed, tender meatballs in a brandy sauce (great for dipping bread)
I love the presentation of the goat cheese balls sandwiched between bread, tomato and serrano. Quite honestly, the bread could be lost all together. These are fantastic!
Patatas Bravas are a traditional menu item, but these were served in the most non-traditional way. I much prefer the potatoes to be crispy and drizzled with cream/mayo and hot sauce. These were completely saturated in a hot sauce that wasn't particularly hot.
Unfortunately, I forgot (after the first bottle of white wine) to snap photos of the salt-cod croquettes. I devoured these whipped finger foods in under a minute! The chorizo a la placha were also gone in under a minute. The very tiny plates here are dangerouso!
As you are gorging on these little plates of heaven, wonderfully talented Flamenco dancers are stomping at Nai on Thursday and Saturday nights at 8:30pm. You could only have a better experience in Spain itself!
