What is the meaning of 'naga naga'?
In heard this word from this situation: A cook asked testers about his curry. First person replied '美味しい', the second replied 'naga naga', and the third replied '凄い'.

I think if I heard correctly, the first person replied 'delicious' and the third replied 'great or wonderful'. But I don't know the exactly meaning from 2nd person.

Thank you in advance,

Answer

He probably said nakanaka, なかなか。It means quite, some or rather, so this means "rather tasty". You don't need to say なかなかおいしい (or whatever adjective it is) if it's understood from context.
