My sister, niece, and I dined at Namaste India today. I enjoyed the chicken tikka, along with two types on naan; one with garlic and the other filled coconut. Everything was so delicious! Our server was very attentive and answered all of our questions especially when it came to the desserts, which were outstanding! Adding to the experience was the background music and lovely artwork. I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

Placed a pick up order ahead of time. Waited for more than 30min here. Not even ready. What's the point scheduled pickup for?

This was my first visit to Namaste India. It was a Friday at 2:30pm. Despite the off-peak hour, a few tables were occupied. I was seated then ordered the Korma Chicken which came with white rice. I enjoyed my meal while listening to Indian tunes and watching mostly New Yorkers drive by. I never had this dish before and it was delicious. I loved the positive attitude from the male server which I'm guessing is also owner. read more

Ordered Butter Chicken, Butter Naan, and Garlic Naan and was severely disappointed. Without a doubt, the worst Indian food i've ever had. Extremely processed chicken, lacks flavor, filled with oil and tons of food coloring and was disappointing overall. Wish we had stopped at Trader Joe's instead as their Indian food is better. More flavor, healthier, less processed, and a lower cost for better food. Service: Was good in the sense that they were fast with order. But, that just proves how processed it was as it just had to be reheated. Took about 3-5 minutes to get our food. I would have preferred to wait for some good fresh food. Atmosphere: Simple, no smell of Indian food inside either. read more

ordered goat curry and the garlic naan, friend got chicken tikki masala. liked everything I ate. chicken in tikki masala was very tender. vast majority of entrees were under $20, don't see that much these days. Ambiance is un-interesting, place looks like a converted diner. if owner is reading this: our table was a little wobbly, please try to level all tables so they don't wobble. would give 4.5 stars but can't do half stars on yelp (wobbly table does not affect review, would happily get take out) read more

Vegi Assorted App- Horrible!!!! I have no idea what vegi was in the dark brown hokey pot ... the Samosa was BLAH! A fried bread with dry stuff inside. Mulligatawny Soup: down the drain, so spicy it was uneatable Shrimp Biryani: the shrimp was ok, the rice WAY too spicy. Threw it in the garbage Good: Naan Bread, yogurt dip, tomato soup Will Never order here again!! read more

The flavor, the quality of the food is what you would expect from an Indian restaurant and they met all the expectations of freshness and quantity . The workers and servers did an excellent job on measuring up to our large group. The restaurant was clean and simple. Excellent lighting. If you want authentic Indian cuisine experience please don't hesitate to visit. You will not be disappointed. Your tastebuds will thank you. read more

Again I'm traveling and so I got food to go I was just driving back to my hotel and I saw this place and thought what the heck. I called in an order and it was about 25 minutes to get it prepared but when I pulled into the parking lot my first instinct was oh my gosh not too many cars but again it's a Monday night. The staff was very nice when I entered as well as when they took my order on the phone I got the goat and some parantha. Very nice size portion of the entree and I will say it first I thought there wasn't as much goat is there should have been but you need to dig around in there cuz there ended up being plenty probably more rice than needs be. So I ordered it between medium and spicy and they hit the nail on the head with that it was perfect spicy level the rice spice and Curry was fantastic blue flavored and I wish I had smell-a-vision because it was wonderful to smell. The parentha l was okay I'd probably try a different one next time read more

Take out experience Chicken biryani - aromatic with all the right ingredients, super spicy the way I like it, it was fresh and amazing flavors, best one I've had in a long time Daal makhni- tasted good, also fresh. A bit oily. Portion was small Naan- garlicy, soft and fresh The place looked ok inside. Not fancy at all. Plenty of parking No pics because I was starving n forgot read more

Impressive Indian food! My family and I really enjoyed our meal here! We ordered Paneer Makhni, Baigan Bartha, Malai Kofta and Aloo Gobi - our standard favorites. All the vegetables were delicious, each with its own distinct type of flavor and curry. Baigan Bartha was really well cooked, not too much oil and really flavorful. The rosemary naan was soooo good!!! I usually stick to lacha parantha (which my parents had- also good) but the rosemary naan was really well made!! We ordered an Amritsiri parantha as well, which in hindsight was too much food - this parantha was a dish in itself; thick and stuff with veggies! The ambiance of the restaurant is quite basic, overall could've been cleaner however staff is friendly, there is plentiful parking and it's a good meal! read more

I'm baffled how this place is still in business. The good reviews are definitely fake! We came here after visiting a pumpkin patch nearby. The restaurant only had one table occupied yet it took them over an hour to bring our appetizers out. We should've left when they told us they didn't have various items available that day. We could hear all the commotion in the kitchen. This is clearly a family run business since a small kid was attending to customers because his family couldn't keep up. Terrible experience, tasteless food and a waste of money. read more

So this place is very nice Food is fresh and delicious. Amazing guest service. I will be back thank you read more

The food and service were outstanding! Best chicken masala and naan I've had (and I enjoy Indian food coast to coast).

If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine then you should definitely try Namaste India. Went here by suggestion from a friend who's parents frequent this restaurant. And they said wonderful things about the food. So decided to grab dinner there with some friends. Not many customers but many people coming in and grabbing take out. I have never had Indian food and really wasn't sure what to try. Luckily one of my friends was familiar with the food and had recommendations of what to order. We ordered a bunch of dishes for all of us to share. We got garlic naan, paneer makhni, chicken makhni, lamb korma. I'm not much of a fan of spicy foods and so it was available to have the food be made mild. We had also ordered mango lassi to drink. The food was served altogether in small dishes. The food was delicious. Both the chicken and lamb were tender to eat and both the makhni and korma sauces were so flavorful. You just dip the crispy and garlicky naan in the sauces of the dish and it's like a flavor explosion. The makhni sauce was a creamy, buttery sauce. The korma sauce had more of a coconut and nutty flavor. The food was also served with a bowl of white rice and mixed with the korma and makhni and meat--it was delicious! Overall I had a great experience. The service was great and our waitress offered great suggestions for us as well! I will definitely be back again read more

Namaste India - Crispy Garlic Naan, Paneer Makhni, Chicken Makhni, Lamb Korma, and Mango Lassi - Indian Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

We hosted a retirement party in Namaste India. We had our own private party room and they had it nicely decorated. They supplied drinks and a buffet food. They gave us so many choices and the food was so delicious. There was so much left over that people happily took left overs home. The manger Rakish was so easy to work with from the beginning of planning to the very end of the party. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys Indian food and wants to host a party. read more

My friend recommended I eat here when I was in town. This food here is like a warm hug -- everything is flavorful and full of spices. I wouldn't describe any of the items I ordered as "spicy" (as in hot). But every bite was full of aroma. The toasted spices and aromatics also created a comfort food warmth. The service was also good. They were attentive and kind. Can't wait to come here again and try something new. read more

Namaste India - Naan with sauces - Indian Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

First time here. The Indian food is very good... many of the usual things but none explained - perhaps because most of clientele are Indian? Not sure but still what we had was great and the server helped describe them. . Nice service and reasonable prices. read more

Had lunch buffet today, they said it was a special Mother's Day buffet. It was underwhelming at best. I would say it was less than average buffet, for the price they charged. The items were minimal compared to many Indian buffets I have been to in the area. There was nothing special about the Mother's Day buffet menu. It was overpriced and underwhelming. We will not return. read more

We ended up here when we couldn't get a booking at our 'regular' Indian. A repurposed diner, it is very unassuming from the outside and the signs about hosting events put me off a bit. I was hesitant but I am so glad we went. We were warmly greeted and seated. Staff fussed over us to make sure we were happy, comfortable, and well fed. Dishes were delicious! We did the standard 'test' dishes we do at a new Indian: samosa or pakora, naan, palak paneer, a tandoori chicken, and a lamb Rogan Josh. We ordered a lentil dish as well. Our party of six... two of whom are new to Indian were very happy with all. I look forward to working my way through the menu. read more

I came here for the weekend lunch buffet, reasonably priced at $12 plus tax and tip. The offerings were what you'd find at an Indian buffet. My personal favorites were the tandoori chicken and the garlic naan. The naan hit it out the park- warm, crispy, flavorful and good mix of the butter-garlic. The one waitress was very attentive to all parties and was very welcoming. I took a star off because the inside of the restaurant had a weird, construction like smell. Unfortunately, the roof caught on fire the day I came here, so I'm not sure if they've re-opened. If they have, definitely stop in and try it out! read more

I asked for my chicken to be very mild, and it is pretty spicy. I am disappointed. I don't think I'll order from here again.

We ordered chicken tikka masala, 2 chicken samosas and garlic naan. The chicken tika masala was watery with small cubes of a few pieces of chicken, no onions, and 2 tiny pieces of green peppers. It was tasty, but watery. The rice that came with it was in the smallest container. The samosas were cold and seemed like they were previously frozen. There were 2 small 1/2 circles of garlic naan. The total of this was $34 The amount of food was incredibly small, and disappointing. read more

This is THE BEST INDIAN FOOD I have had in Bergen County in the past 5 years. Trust me I have been on the hunt. The samosas are so fresh. The garlic naan is perfectly crispy and always piping hot. Literally dreamy. The paneer tikka masala is a must have. The saag paneer is probably the best I've ever had, absolutely unbelievable. The chef herself comes out to check on you. Don't let the aesthetic fool you, this place is clean and delicious!! read more

My food was fresh, delicious, and on time. I was greeted with a smile when I showed up to pick up my order even though I arrived minutes before closing. I did not sit down but the atmosphere in the dining room was very laid back and familial. The food even kept its flavor and texture the next day when I reheated some as leftovers. If you're looking for quality grab n go Indian, you won't get much better than this place. read more

We've been looking to try this restaurant for a while now. We were hesitant to have our first taste be a take-out order but due to the current restrictions we took the leap and are very pleased. Their online ordering system was easy to navigate. The website gave us an estimated pick-up time as well as a confirmation email that the restaurant was working on our order. We couldn't speak more highly of the food. The lamb in the lamb korma and lamb rogan josh was deliciously tender and the chunks of meat pulled a part with a fork. The sauces were thick, creamy and full of flavor. The portion sizes were perfect- enough so you could finish it, but not too much to be over stuffed. I can easily say Namaste will be our first choice for Indian cuisine in the future whether it be take-out or inside service! read more

Had a wonderful experience here. I went for myself but ended up buying for the whole family! The staff was very helpful and offered suggestions for the type of curry I was looking for. I got a very classic dish, the Chicken Tikka Masala. My mom and brother got a coconut curry shrimp dish (Goan Shrimp) and my dad got Seekh Kabob (spicy). Everyone loved their dishes. At first I thought portions were a little small, but by the time we had eaten everything, it turned out to be perfect. Someone was even kind enough to add some extra sauces (usually they come with the samosas but we asked if we could have some with our naan) to our takeout bag. I'll be coming back to try the other chicken dishes soon :) read more

I've tried half their menu and LOVE almost everything I've tried. One of my favorite Indian places. BYOB. The owner Mr. Rakesh and one of his frequent waitstaff Navi are a lot of fun and make great hosts. They also partner with PlateRate, so if you try this restaurant out using PlateRate (pickup, delivery, or dine in), you get a 60% credit to order again for trying the highest rated menu items on your first order, and 30% to try new highly rated menu items on future visits. Once you've tried all their best tasting food, Namaste India will be one of your go to favorites you order from all the time - it is for me! read more

The most delicious and authentic Indian food. My favorite is the shrimp korma and my husband like the chicken tiki masala. Both are excellent. Go for the food! read more

Absolutely incredible!! The food was so incredibly good! The service was great! My daughters and I stopped by for lunch the other day and were so excited to try Namaste based on the reviews - we were not disappointed! To start we had the Chicken Samosa and Vegetarian Samosa - both equally delicioushad the Chicken Tikka Masala and my daughters had Paneer Masala, we also had the Garlic Naan and both Mango Lassi and the plain Lassi We will definitely be back! read more

Had dinner there yesterday (Sunday) with a friend from Rajasthan who now lives in Jersey City. We had spent most of the day at Woodbury Commons and were starved while driving back down to NJ.We had called at 930pm to see if they were still serving.They normally close at 10pm but gladly took our order and when we arrived five minutes later,they seated us and began serving us.We were most appreciative of them accommodating us. The staff, service and food were tops.My friend was thrilled with it all as well,especially the food. read more

Horrible customer service. My daughter order dood, I picked it up. When we got home it was the wrong order. They called stating we had to go back and return the food and pick up the right order. Mind you it was a 20 minute ride each way. When we returned the food, not even an apology for there mistake. Never again read more

Excellent Indian food. I ordered the Channa Masala (hot) and the Papadum. The quality, spiciness, and amount of food was great. The service was fast even though the place was crowded. read more

It is among the best Indian food I have had ever, in the top. The naan was fresh and crispy. The mild is still a bit spicy but tolerable even for me, who sadly can't tolerate spice anymore (crying emoji). The buffet has both vegetarian and meat items plus dessert. Well worth the price. I got a biryani and it was great, well seasoned with tender chicken and nuts. The portion was large and I brought some home. The chai masala was warm and good. I prefer more spice variety like clove and star anise, this one is heavy pepper only. Still yummy and hot the spot. It is in a diner so it seems a bit strange, but you can order off both menus. Bonus for those who want Indian and friends may want to try, but have a burger back up. Only bummer was that they seated us next to a family in an empty place... the kid was sick and soon I will be too. read more
