The place was clean. The service was great. The owner was very friendly checked on us twice. The food was some of the best Indian I've ever had. Can't wait to get back. read more

Excellent authentic food! Server was great and made some excellent recommendations to get us introduced to Kerala specials. Dosa, vada, paratha, everything on point and flavorful for good prices. read more

Stopped here one more time! I always come here at least once when I'm the area. We love this restaurant. 1) The service is excellent. Very attentive and welcoming! 2) Place is clean and welcoming. 3) Chicken lollipops were amazing! 4) The food was delicious! 5) The price is acceptable. We eat at least three to four times the food as left overs after we bring it home. 5) The Lamp Saag, Goat Saag, Duck in red sauce, the Chicken korma, the naan, all excellent! When you come here remember this: This is Indian coursing and recipes from a different region of India than so of the other places you may have gone to. They have a great taste in their food! The mago lassi and sangria were excellent as well. The Taj was refreshing! I recommend you come here and give them a try! You will love it. read more

Amazing, authentic Kerala dishes. Stupendous Fish Mappaas, don't miss it, you won't regret. Finger licking fish fry, spicy beef roast, flying saucer like appams (so soft), and floating naans. I can go on listing, everything was superb. Friendly staff, Way to go, Abin. We celebrated two of our friends' birthdays. I wish Namasthe a very good luck. Like one of the reviewers wrote, it is a hidden GEM. Adi polli!!! read more

Namaste is what I call a hidden gem. Absolutely love seeing more Indian food places in the Midlothian area -- far from the hustle and bustle of Richmond. The menu is broad and consists of the usual set of items that you'll find at other Indian places, however many of the dishes are from Kerela or Kerela inspired which allows more variety. Service was great, food was delicious and spices were on point. Decor/aesthetic is super cute. Here's what we ordered: -Samos for appetizer- crust was incredibly crunchy & filling was delicious. Paired very well with sauce provided. -Kerala Porotta: Layered flaky flatbread, amazing texture & was so delicious. -Garlic Naan: So soft & yummy -Chicken Tikka Masala: Spice was on point -Pork fry- hint of spicy, huge portions, pairs well with Porotta. read more

Great food, great service. I've taken out of this restaurant 3 times now trying something different every time and each meal was delicious and a big enough portion for 2 meals. I recommend the Lamb curry it was a little bit a spice but nothing overpowering that paired with their garlic naan. No complaints. read more

I was missing my mom's home cooking and came here. Friendly staff, quick service, and the food was incredible. Will 100% be back!

When I got inside I found out it was a buffet. I got there at 1:30 PM & some of the food was cold. There was no menu describing the food. The mango lassi was good. I feel there's no reason for me to return. read more

They cover the familiar Indian dishes, but also offer delicious Kerala specialties that you don't see elsewhere in town. Very friendly service! read more

Being Indian origin, I usually do not go to Indian restaurants. I tried this one, loved their food and the ambience and well as service. I tried the house special chicken fry as apatizer and the keralian style Fish curry as well as lassi. All good, but unfortunately did not take any photo. They have great varieties of food. Finally, at last we have some Indian place in Richmond serving fish and seafood. read more

We are smitten by Kerala Parotta and when our friend suggested us that there's a new Kerala themed restaurant in town, we were determined to try it out. Namaste India Palace is near Midlothian -- far from the hustle and bustle of Richmond. There's decent amount of parking out front. The decor and cutlery all looked new (presumably because it's only been a couple of months since the place opened). The menu is broad and consists of the usual set of items that you'll find at other indian places. The standout however is a complete page dedicated to dishes from Kerala. There was a decent selection of vegetarian items as well. We ended up ordering the Paneer Butter Masala on the recommendation of the server. The food was overall delicious - especially the breads. Paneer was decent, the only criticism being the excessive use of color. Overall, a nice place to try out. read more

My friend and I came here for my birthday Great food and hospitality, thank you!!!!!!!

My husband and I wanted to grab some food while we're doing a quick trip to RVA and saw this Indian restaurant near by. I am from Kerala and have been craving fish curry so seeing this on the menu was exciting. Service: service was incredibly slow. We weren't checked in on or just brought waters for over 30 min after we'd been seated. I feel like bringing waters at the very least should be fast but it took a while and they attended to everyone else multiple times before even coming to us. My husband had to get up to go get the check because they were being slow to attend to us. Menu: menu did have a variety of North Indian and South Indian/Kerala dishes, which is newer than what I'm used to since most Indian restaurants have North Indian style dishes. They have classic curries like korma and butter chicken for those who prefer that but decently extensive Kerala style menu for those who are interested to explore. Food: we ordered soda lime drink, kizhi porotta beef, shaappile meen curry, and extra order of porotta. Soda lime drink: 8/10, what you'd get in Kerala in a little side shop or bakery Kizhi porotta: 9/10 flavor was amazing, the sweetness from the onions comes through with the spices and curry leaves, maybe more beef pieces would be needed, could be very satisfied with buying that Shaappile meen curry: 5/10, don't get me wrong, the flavor profile is right, it's how you'd expect a malayalee to make fish curry. What wasn't good is that we received 4 small pieces of fish. For the price of the dish, it is not worth. It's more disappointing because that was something I had been craving to have and to pay the amount we did for the protein portion size is not an equitable trade off. I might come back if I'm in the area if I really miss the flavors of home but definitely the portion size was disappointing so not sure if I'd be as inclined. read more

Omg the best Indian food ever I order several dishes for a luncheon the food was amazing the flavors so taste bud exploding my favorite was the shrimp and lamb dishes but really this was my first order from this restaurant certainly won't be the last . The restaurant itself is very nice inside clean and I knew as soon as I walked in based on the smells that the food was going to be delicious I was not disappointed . read more

Place has good food. Spiritual energy very high. I loved the egg water in the middle, gave off a murderous vibe! Server kept shaking which was strange. however, by far had the best halal food in the area. Note for server: DONT TOUCH THE EGG EATER hail the egg water read more

We discovered Namaste a week ago and we are back! The food is incredible. We love the gobhi Manchurian appetizer, butter chicken, and chicken tikka. Highly recommend! read more

Lovely restaurant especially for small groups of 4, couples, or solo diners. Also ideal for takeout. The good food takes time to prepare. Relax and enjoy it As soon as you walk in, beautiful decor of gold and black welcomes you into the restaurant. Service was friendly and helpful with the menu. We tried the mango lassi and the porotta with chicken: carb intensive and delicious. Many of the dishes are from Kerela which offers different Indian food options. Treat yourself to a leisurely meal and walk away full and happy. read more

Wouldn't order again overly sweet tikka paneer and very salty overall. The naan was thin as well, all overpriced for what it was. A true shame there's limited options for Indian cuisine better luck in the west end. :/ read more

Khizi parotta chicken. Need I say more?! Excellent southern Indian cuisine and outstanding service!

The food was fantastic as was the service. We were able to order our food at our desired spice level. We were able to order vegan and non-vegan food. The Kulcha appetizer was delicious, the bread basked was great. We loved the the Chicken 65 Appetizer and the Dal Tadka and the chicken tikka masala . The atmosphere was great and we will be back. You've got to check this place out! read more

Namaste truly swept me off my feet with their authentic Kerala dishes and caring service. We had ordered quite a lot of items on the menu with our group, and the food did not disappoint! All of the options we ordered (some of which are typical dishes that can be found at other Indian restaurants) were absolutely amazing, but my personal favorites has to be the Fish Pollichathu, Chicken Kizhi Porotta, and the Appam. These are all classic dishes and had very nice portion sizes. Glad we have a place like this within the greater Richmond region, and will definitely continue to visit. read more

I had the chicken biryani, which was fantastic! They have a kids menu which is super helpful. They are very concerned with making the spice level just right for the customer. Atmosphere and customer service were great, too! So glad they are in my area! read more

Great food Mr. Jiji George is a good owner-operator. It is a little small for a large gathering. The wait staff was a little stretched. Ample parking. The price of food was reasonable, and portion size was good. Will be back. read more

Fabulous food! Very personable and great atmosphere. We will return to this restaurant.

The venue is very clean and service was great. There was a loud radio station doing a live stint outside the restaurant and every time the door was open, the noise level was unreasonable. Wait staff was very nice. read more

We ordered pick-up. The food was delicious and they have a really good selection, especially bread.

I love this place!! First time here, had the fish fry and garlic naan and rose milk and everything was so delicious! Fast and incredible service. Great vibes. And they played the Stevie wonder happy birthday song for my friends bday! read more

We came in late one night not realizing they were closing within an hour. Our waiter was very kind and made no mention of the closing soon. The restaurant is exceptionally clean and the food incredibly good! They brought us out a small Mango Lassi as complimentary which was very nice. I have been waiting for a good Indian restaurant to open on Hull street near us and I'm happy to say we have found it! Can't wait to come back! read more

food was absolutely the best I've had in Richmond/surrounding area. that beef dish with the flaky bread is mind blowing!
