One of the best, if not the best, Indian cuisine resturant I have ever eaten at. The lamb chops were the biggest most plumb I have ever had for sure, and the chef held nothing back regarding flavor. The Butter Chicken was 'melt in your mouth' good. I will definitely be back here again real soon. read more

Came here on a friday night and it was easy to find a table. The plain naan was fluffy and buttery which was great. Also got the pani puri and the aloo papadi, both were good and not spicy. The chicken tikka masala was great, not really any spice, and came with rice. Solid Indian food and I would get food here again. read more

Best food and quick service! I absolutely love this place. It's a hidden gem !!!!!!!! read more

We have been coming here for more than 10 years. It's not the closest Indian restaurant to our house, but it's the best we have found. Very warm atmosphere and attentive service. We're huge fans of the Mulliagatawny soup. They have a great lunch buffet every day of the week. read more

Raj and Anish were great. Authentic food and spacious dine in. Want to thank them a ton for staying open on Dashain and providing excellent service. read more

Delicious food and timely service via delivery. Had the butter chicken and the lamb. Was very excited the next day for leftovers. There was a couple checking out the menu outside, and I immediately (and gently) recommended they try Namaste out because I love it so much. read more

Out of all the Indian restaurants next to my area, Namaste is the BEST! They season the food PERFECTLY and have the best portions. I ordered the Saagwala and it is soo creamy! The lamb chops are so soft. The goat curry is full of big chunks unlike other places that serve it with low meat quantity and large bone pieces. Thanks Namaste for the GREAT dinner!!! You guys are awesome!! read more

One of the best Nepalese places in the area. If you're looking for nothing more than a quick snack, grab their vegetable momos. Other dishes are great. The customized naans and other dishes are quite delightful. I just wish if you're ordering something like butter chicken, there is the option to have bread instead of rice as options. But this me not picking. read more

Best Indian restaurant closest to ft Belvoir and Mount Vernon area. Every meal has been perfect!

Check out their Egg Noodles! I loved seeing this as one of their buffet selections - wonderfully and perfectly cooked al dente noodles with pieces of scrambled eggs, a great light chili sauce, with some peppers - it was beautifully flavored and I could have eaten the whole entire offering of it - so addicting! :D Don't forget to order a mango laasi with your meal - not too overly sweet, but a perfect combination of creamy, mango-ness, and the few ice in there makes it a very nice and a refreshing drink. Service again, was lovely and friendly - one of my favorite restaurants; this restaurant is my top choice and priority to go to when I am in the area! :D +Egg Noodles!!! +ask for freshly-fried samosas! +ask for Mr. Raj and Mr. Ram :D read more

The yelp reviews for this restaurant had me salivating. Indian and Nepalese food at 4-5 stars? That always equals very high expectations and huge cravings! My dining companion and I came here on a Monday night with eyes bigger than our stomachs and plowed through the menu, ordering: Goat curry, fish curry, chicken vindaloo, their famous momo dumplings and garlic naan. Perhaps it was the day that we went, but the dumplings had tough skin with curled edges -- like they had been sitting out for a while. Underwhelming but flavor was fine. The curry and chicken dishes were not bad either, but veered toward the blander side. We'd be more pleased if they kicked up the spice and sauces up a notch. The complete meal was akin to eating a something tepid, lukewarm. Meanwhile we were searching for hot/fireworks! read more

I'm updating my 3 star review to 5 from my last experience to my today's experience. The food was spot on, the service was very attentive and on point. I don't see any reason for me not recommend and return to this awesome restaurant Again in future!! Thanks namaste for the great experience today. Mom and I enjoyed our vegetarian thali, Sukah chicken, Raj kachori and awesome awesome cheese naan!! Great job you all!! read more

The food is amazing I've have been looking for a good Indian food restaurant and this place is it. The chicken tikka masala is delicious and the garlic naan is perfect I would 10/10 recommend this place read more

This menu is HUGE!! I'm impressed with the variety and options. Not many Indian restaurants offer such a spread. My family and I came here on a recommendation from one of my friends. We started off a little rocky. The papad we were served was slightly undercooked but we didn't send it back. I'm happy we stuck with the place though, because things improved quickly as the courses came out. My family and I ordered individual appetizers. I had the papdi chaat, extra spicy. It was PERFECT. My parents had the tomato and vegetable soups and were very pleased. My grandmother talks enjoyed her aloo tikki. For the table, we ordered malai kofta, paneer saagwala, and vegetable makhni. All of this was ordered as mild but we received fresh green chilies on the side. The dishes were good...as expected. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I had ordered it as notch or two spicier. The garlic naan was a little oily for me, but not bad! Overall, my family and I had a good dinner at Namaste. We've been trying different Indian restaurants in the area when they've visited and this is amongst the top three that we've had so far. I'm sure we'll be back! read more

Best Indian food in Miami. Great service too with reasonable prices. I highly recommend Namaste!

Great local restaurant for Indian and Nepalese dishes. Service is prompt, friendly, and helpful. They do a booming take-out as well.

My husband and I have eaten at this restaurant for over 2 years and it is our favorite place for Indian cuisine in the National Capital Region. The food is very flavorful and the customer service is topnotch. They also opened a second location on King Street in Old Town Alexandria. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Indian cuisine at a great price and excellent customer service. Thank you. read more

l made a pickup order from the vegetarian appetizers. Samosas we're delicious and flaky. The Gobi 65 (cauliflower) was so crispy I thought it was fried chicken lol the sauce is spicy but not overwhelming overall delicious. See you soon! read more

Tried the Buffet, everything was delicious. We do not claim to be food connoisseurs, and have not had much experience with this type of food, but what we had was very good. The Naan Bread that was brought to the table was hot, and was gone in minutes . The price for the buffet was reasonable, the staff was super friendly and definitely kept the table clear of empty plates and water glasses full. Only complaint was that the buffet ran out of rice and took forever to get refilled. Granted we showed up at 145 and buffet closed at 3, but more people came in after us. Next time we go will be earlier to see if that has an impact on amount of food on buffet line. Overall very good !!! read more

the food is honestly terrible, the butter chicken was pink on the inside, the goat curry had chunks that were straight like beef jerky and the tandoori chicken had barely no flavor and also had parts that were like beef jerky. it had tasted like most of the meat was old or left out, and nothing was really new or "fresh". I'm honestly extremely disappointed and disgusted by this and i'm worried to come back because it shows that other food there might be the same way (this was all during the lunch buffet) read more

Got the chicken korma and chicken tikka masala. Both are creamy dishes and "lightly spiced", but what we got was milk flavored sauce. It was very disappointing. Money flushed down the toilet read more

This is a review for the Sunday buffet. I am from the bay area in California and did the one day hike in DC organized by the Sierra club. I was looking to try an Indian buffet restaurant for Sunday. Namaste clicked. Just one word - amazing!! It has a bias to being more non vegetarian. However the owner on learning that someone at a table was vegetarian - offered to make a special vegetarian dish for that person! Now, that is customer service! Now the food - make your own pani poori! A salad which looked fresh! Mutter palak was creamy and excellent, all the meat dishes including the lamb was tender! For breads, they bring naan to your table and they also have pooris! Highly recommend!! read more

Ordered food from Uber Eats. Ordered paneer tikka masala and malai kofta. All they did was adding milk or cream to it. It tastes nothing like the authentic curries. Tasting milky. read more

We ordered delivery and it was delicious! We decided on the chicken breast appetizer, lamb kebabs, and lamb chops. The ground lamb kebabs were spicy, chicken breast was well seasoned and tender, but the lamb chops were our favorite! Very flavorful and the chickpeas were delicious with the white rice. I thought portions were good and the price reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Say YES! The menus is a bit hit or miss as to flavor. Some seems rather bland but there are a few hits, the Chicken Korma and Lamb Biryani to name a two. The samosas also looks inviting, but we are off fried food . Can highly recommend the Naan. There looks to be a buffet bar, that might be worth checking out. read more

The food was just okay. We got a few dishes to go, including samosas, malai kofta, and a biryani. The samosas were phenomenal, but the main courses were mediocre. We got the 2 dishes medium spicy, and one of them was almost inedible due to the spicy level. The other was lacking in flavor. read more

One of the best restaurants I discovered during COViD. My go to take out dishes here are Butter Chicken, Saag paneer, and lamb vindaloo. However, every dish I have tried here is amazing to say the least. The consistency of the gravy is spot on - thick, flavorful, perfect for a dip of your naan or over the jasmine rice. The portions are fitting for the price! I wish I could eat here everyday!!!! They are still doing takeout only during covid but I can't wait to eat inside the restaurant once they reopen!! read more

Indian is probably my favorite type of food, to the extent that my we get it and time my wife wants to, because if it was in charge of me we'd have Indian ceaselessly. This is our favorite Indian spot in this area. Their onion kulcha is the best I've ever had. Their paneer is very good. The Roganjosh always looks and tastes just like Korma, which is odd but oh well. They do delivery through Grubhub/Yelp -- only do pickup if the weather is nice, because the way the covid-pickup situation is there isn't space to wait inside. read more

In the area on business and decided to give Namaste a try since I Love Indian food and it got good reviews. The food is average. My butter chicken was so sweet. It was almost like a dessert sweet. The garlic naan had so much minced garlic that I couldn't eat it, and I love garlic. The portions are a good size for the price. read more

I visited their And had their chicken Momo and they did really good job with taste and portions. I order on phone and ask about their menu about Momo and the lady describe the difference between their two flavors and order both.I asked to make little spicy lol but if you order so please don't ask to make because it's already done spicy lol so order same as it is ! Lol Well taste was great and I like spicy and can handle heat so I really enjoy a lot. SAUCE " they give us two different flavors sauces and I taste both one by one and find out both are delicious and different. But I put both both in same container because I want to taste steam one with chili sauce " so I postmortem Both flavors together. And it come out really definitely amazing( I have Facebook group " DMV foods review " so mixing foods is my hobby and always try to make new flavors ") So 9/10 for steam and 10/10 for fried . And please if you have any Momo suggestions around DMV area so let me know. Great food Great service Following all COVID protocols. And I really appreciate you guys for offering a great taste in DMV. read more

I've waited more than 6 years to go here and the anticipation was well worth the quality! The goat was freaking amazing especially with the mint and yogurt sauce, the butter chicken was delicious just so comforting, the yellowish rice with carrots was so full of flavor, and the rice pudding just took it to a whole new level... I'm not sure if it's Nepalese food that I love or just the fact that Namaste does it right But either way the food is so ridiculously flavorful and wifey and I just might have a new favorite spot read more

We were in town and knew that we could get fantastic Indian food in the area, so we stopped by. It was legit. Can't give it five stars because it was the the absolute "best" Indian food that I've ever had, but it was still delicious and far better than anything I have by my house. If you're picky about service, then don't come. They're polite and respectful, but they leave you alone until you ask- I don't mind this one bit. The Non-Veg Thali was a great combination of different foods. My husband had a lamb dish that was to die for- the lamb was so tender... It was in a spinach sauce if that helps you figure out what it was. Will definitely be returning next time we're in town. read more

We came here after golf, thinking they might have the buffet at the time. No buffet, but it's totally okay. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat curry, and vegan spinach curry (forgot) the name. I also ordered take out with them and got butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala. The tikka masala has a nice kick of spice while the butter chicken is on the sweeter side. The goat curry is super tender as well. We order the regular and garlic naan and both were delicious. Overall, service is great and the quality of the curry is all great. They've become one of our regular spots to eat from, since that one time. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food. Would highly recommend the cheese na'an with butter chicken. The staff is very attentive and do a great job all around

This place is soo good. We been looking around for restaurants for pick up since this Covid-19 place and came across this hidden gem. One of the best Indian restaurants I've came across around here. We will definitely sit down and eat when this crisis is over. Praying to Jesus for this virus to end soon. read more

The garlic naan was great, very flavorful. Samosa crispy on the outside and delicious and creamy inside. Ordered the aloo gobhi medium spicy and it was spicy. The only thing I would liked it to be more creamy . Otherwise really good Indian food read more
