butter chicken - $16
Aneesha M.

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.

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.

Goat biryani.

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

Aloo Gobhi Masala Paneer Makhni Baingan Bhurtha

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!

Crispy Garlic Naan, Paneer Makhni, Chicken Makhni, Lamb Korma, and Mango Lassi
Roseanne P.

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

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.

Good food good people!! Delicious biryani!! -mr. Knife guy

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.

Currently the decor isn't great but the friendly owner Raj said he would be updating the place over the next few months. Our waiter was new but he was very friendly and provided helpful recommendations. The menu is already large and Raj mentioned that they're looking to add southern Indian dishes to their current northern Indian focus. We had boneless wings, mutton, samosas, and another chicken appetizer. All of the starters were excellent, perfect mild to medium spice level. Our entrees included lamb, mutton biryani, and a chickpea dish. The biryani was a ton of food and the chickpea texture was awesome. We also had butter naan and I added a tasty mango lassi. Apparently they do a solid bar crowd on weekend nights. I would certainly return to try more dishes. Definitely a solid restaurant.

You will not be disappointed. The owner was very nice and came over and welcomed us to the restaurant. They really paid attention to every detail. Blessed to have a local place that makes food everyone can enjoy.

There's a huge assortment of appetizers and they tend to make me full before I dive into the entrees! My favorite appetizers are the Pani Puri shots - crunchy and a pop of saucey flavor! I also loved the Fish Amritsari- it was fried with a nice crust but still so juicy and flakey inside! I love the various dishes, sauces and curries for entrees and it's hard for me to choose my favorite - if I had to, I would choose the Vegetable Biryani because of the nice bread crust on the top and the hot flavorful rice inside! I will definitely recommend that you try the Atom Bomb - chocolate cake with strong rose flavored ice cream - such a great combo! Shout out to the staff - they're all so attentive and the food comes out fast as well! And they just newly renovated with a huge bright room - perfect for hosting parties!

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ FANTASTIC weekend Indian buffet and everything, I mean, EVERYTHING, was delicious! + Great variety to choose from (approximately 13 different dishes, including dessert) with a good mix of vegetarian and meat entrees. + Buffet includes Tamarind Eggplant, Onion Pakora, Basmati Rice, Naan, Chicken Biryani, Dal Tadka, Soya Chap Dai, Cabbage Poriyal, Fish Curry, Goat Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Chili Chicken, Rice Kheer, Gulab Jamon. + Favorites included the Onion Pakora, Chicken Biryani, Soya Chap Dai, Cabbage Poriyal, Goat Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken. (Honestly, I could have listed just about ALLL of the hot foods!) - Surprisingly was missing a Paneer dish, which is typically common at Indian buffets. - Beware, the Fish Curry definitely has a kick. - The Gulab Jamon was on the "spongy" side in that it was too soft and, as typically is, too sugary. - Rice Kheer was a bit too "fragrant" for our liking. THE SERVICE ------------------ + Employees were cordial. + Solid service throughout our meal as finished plates were cleared quickly. + Can pay the bill online via a QR code. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Interior is separated into 2 rooms, with a main dining room to the right of the entrance and a smaller dining area to the left where the buffet is. + Clean interior. + Private parking lot with plenty of spaces outside, but you have to pay the meter, even on Sundays. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = Came for the Sunday buffet and arrived exactly at opening at 12 PM. Dined for about 1.5 hours and it was busy throughout, but there were always a few tables open. There was a large group dining together in the main dining room, so that was probably the reason why less tables were available than usual.

Now on to the criticism... the service is not that great, we were seated and given menus, but we had to get our own utensils. This is not really a full service type of establishment, you pay at the register. They could use more efficient expediting, and then things would feel more welcoming. The second thing I was disappointed with, was one of the reasons we came here was for the Masala Dosa. They started off by saying no Dosa and no Biriyani available. We saw a couple walk out because there was no Dosa. We improvised our order to things we weren't too excited about ordering, but both the beef curry and the butter chicken were tasty. The next thing that will prevent us from coming here for dine- in, in the future is the horrible smell in the bathroom and the temperature of the restaurant. We wanted to wash up before our meal, but the smell in the bathroom was gross. It looked clean, but there was definitely an odor. It was 42 F outside and the air conditioning was blasting cold air. I asked twice to shut it off because my kids were freezing and I was cold too, but it looked like all they were able to do was raise the temperature on the unit which helped only minimally. Really good food, but I think they will need to find a way to address some of the other issues
