Great friendly service Great foodPosted on Neeraj NagpalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EDIT - 26/5/2026 From being an advocate of their Malai Kofta, we've turned detractors of this restaurant. How things go downhill! Yesterday we ordered food and it had a small bone-piece in the veggie noodles. We're vegetarians and this is the second time something like this has happened in a few weeks, the first time we thought we were overanalyzing but not anymore as 'once is a mistake, twice is a choice'. Completely unacceptable! ------------------ We regularly do a takeaway from this store and absolutely LOVE their malai kofta. The only thing we kinda don't like is almost everything else is creamy and sweet, tried gravy chaap and recently daal makhni and felt they use the same creamy gravy for all curries which isn't really nice.Posted on Adam LangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful food, service and atmosphere. Thank you ❤️Posted on Shebual TonyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been here several times. This is one of the best restaurants with affordable prices for a family outing. Their food is very nice and the staff are also very frienldy. Good hospitality ! The place and the staff here always resemble my family back home in Chennai, TN. Many of the items in their menu resemble Tamil / South-Indian Home cooked food as cooked by my Mother. Their Bhindi Masala is same as Tomato gravy in TN, Baigan Bharta resembles Oil Brinjal, Cumin Potato and Gharwali Aalu Gobi resemble our Puri Potato. They have a lot of unique vegetarian dishes that resemble Tamil Nadu style home cooking. One big giveaway is their Chicken 65. Their Chicken 65 is very authentic and tastes very good. They also have Chicken Madrasi and many other curries. I woud recommend anyone to try out their unique dishes.Posted on Preeti PoudelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We enjoyed the food and appreciated their patience and hospitality in accommodating our large group, including young children.Posted on Rapthi RajaratnamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This has been my dad's go-to spot for years! Great food and options for vegetarians. Usually very difficult to order Indian food without nuts (allergies). They took a lot of care in making sure they took care of my allergy as well. Thankyou! ❤️Posted on Jessica TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are regulars at Namaste, but the take away we had tonight was exceptional, the chef was on fire, the pakora and samosa were crunchy and super delicious, the naan bread was perfectly cooked and butter chicken was excellently seasoned. It was just the comfort meal we needed tonight. Cheers Namaste
A BEAUTIFUL BALANCE OF FLAVOR, FRESHNESS, AND HOSPITALITY.
