This place is such a hidden gem. You would never expect it looking at it from the street but it's worth the trip. The food is good & the price is cheap, which is usually always one or the other everywhere else you go! I usually get the 2 item combo ( 2x chicken tikka masala or chicken tikka masala & chicken curry) and it comes with naan & a drink for $8.99. The chicken tikka masala has a lot of flavor but if you want it to be more spicy (and it's gets SPICY), then you could always ask for them to cook it with spices in the back! The chicken curry is really flavorful too. The food is always coming out hot and the naan is perfect. Aside from the food though, What keeps me coming back is the service. The manager/owner is so so so kind. He always has a smile on his face and is genuinely caring towards his customers. His attitude takes it to the next level. I usually eat at Punjab palace but I would have no problem ever coming here if I were closer to it at the time being. If you're in this area, you should give it a try :) read more

Thought I'd give it a try because of all the reviews, however I was a bit disappointed food was bland my wife ordered the lentils & chickpeas with tendori chicken the sauce were not flavorful at all, they did not have any spiciness to them as Indian food usually has the chicken was so bland could have used some salt . I had Tikka masala I had the same experience. Spice level was about a 1 out of 10 for these dishes. Price was fair for the amount of food we got. The best part of the meal was the Naan which was lacking as well asked for the garlic Naan but didn't have enough to taste it but still pretty good. We also ordered samosas , My wife Ioves samosas and she enjoyed these they were nice and full of filling unlike other places & nicely fried and honestly the green chutney sauce the samosas came with was the spiceiest about a 4 out of 10 and most flavor item of the whole meal. As for the reviews on the staff they don't lie very friendly and attentive people . read more

Amazing food closest thing to my buddies chicken tikka I've had! Atmosphere is nice and the owner was very on it helpful highly recommend.

I've been frequenting Namaste Indian Kitchen ever since I discovered that CBU's Festival of Colors featured their food! Over the past three years, Namaste has become one of my top picks for a meal out and a place I often recommend to friends when looking for a new spot. Dhavi, the aunties and uncles know my order by heart and are always willing to kick up the spice for me as I attempt to grow in my tolerance. I always get the chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, samosa and garlic naan and am never disappointed. I would recommend extra naan in case you go back to the office and your coworkers are bummed you didn't get them any. It's truly unbeatable! Good deals on food, great service. Support a local Riverside business and while you're at it, tell Dhavi I say hi! read more

Ordered 1 Combo plate with spicy chicken curry, garlic naan and rice. First of all, I received the food and I could smell the garlic from the naan! I dove in right away and let me tell you, this chicken curry was SPOT ON! Definitely will be my go to Indian cuisine. Owner is also very welcoming and appreciative! read more

I am happy I tried this place. All this for $10. Not bad! Good flavors! I wish the take out wasn't styrofoam though cause I hate going to places that use it. Lots of vegan and veggie options. read more

See all

I love the combination plates this restaurant offers. I got a combo 3 with tikki masala and chicken curry with veggie samosas and garlic naan. Great portion for the price ($10.99 for the combination plate) and great flavor!! (This was my first time ordering Indian food and they did not disappoint) read more

As of today and forever more this is my go-to Indian spot. I came here after class super hungry and I seriously almost cried because the food is so good, seriously. The perfect amount of spice & flavor. I got the pick 2 combo which comes with 2 items of your choice,(I got the chicken tikka masala and the potatoes & eggplant), rice and naan (we got garlic naan, amazing. All for $10!!! So worth it, we'll be back. read more

Really great food and amazing service!! The food was ready really fast, and it was freshly made. The staff is so friendly as well! Highly recommend supporting this business read more

This place has ridiculously good Indian food! I usually get the chicken tikka masala in a combo but today I tried the chicken curry....this is my new favorite! Their garlic naan bread is amazing as well! They have great customer service and you will not be disappointed with the quality and taste of the food. Highly recommended! read more

We love supporting our local businesses; however, the last couple of times we haven't been very happy. Last time we ordered, they gave us our sauces but forgot the poppadoms. We went yesterday and noticed not only were the portions significantly smaller, our vegetable pagodas were missing as well as the sauces. Also, the Chana masala was lacking in flavor. Our experience was extremely disappointing and expensive so it makes us question if we will ever come back. We were willing to overlook the first oversight but with this happening again, it gives us pause. If they are going to continue to go up in price and not deliver in flavor along with giving us all paid for items then I will spend my money at another place. read more

The quality of the food wasn't the best. I think the rice portion could definitely be more in terms of the amount of the entre you get. There isn't a lot of flavor or spices. read more

I love this place. I always get their chicken masala, chicken curry, and spinach! With garlic naan AND samosas. Their red and green sauce are so Bomb. Mmmmmm, with yogurt sauce... I really appreciate these guys and I pray the business is blessed. Come through and enjoy Y'all! (Call and make sure they're open. #covid) read more

The customer service was amazing. However the food was mediocre. They need to make there curry sauce thicker, it's way to watery.

Food was very tasty, service was amazing! The employees were very friendly and helped us whenever we needed it. Very quick food delivery, friendly and reminded me of my moms food. It's a very small and quaint shop with good food yet food price with LOTS of quantity! read more

It was really good, I got the combo three with all chicken delivered through DD. I also ordered samosa which was a little spicier than I expected. Everything was tasty and fresh. I'll order again. I'd like to try some different items next time. read more

This place does offer a full menu of Indian food to order from, but for me, the greatest feature is the steam table, a few trays of food they scoop out and charge for by the ounce, so you know exactly how much you're getting. I have found that most Indian food places tend to give you small portions for the price, but here, you can get a pound of chicken tikka masala for $7. As a bonus, it tastes as good as if not better than most places I have tried in the past. I always prefer my food to go, so I love being able to pop in here, have my food scooped into a container and be out of there in just a few minutes. It's kind of like going to a Panda Express with Indian food. You will have to wait a few extra minutes if you want some garlic naan (bread) to go with your food, but it's worth it for fresh baked bread. Actually after coming back a few times, I have switched from the naan to the aloo paratha. It's a slightly thicker bread with little pieces of potato inside. They also have vegetarian dishes in the steam trays, but I don't eat that kind of stuff. Vegetables aren't food, vegetables are what food eats. (Sorry all you veggy people.) read more

I'm pretty new to Indian food and this place is delicious. The chef even takes time to recommend food selections, as I know very little. The Chicken Tikka Masala is great, and he makes it a touch spicier for me. Everything is good, especially the garlic naan. I've been there 4 times so far and will go back again soon! read more

Ehhh momos are okay, the wrappers dont taste homemade and the fillings could use a little more spice but the samosas weren't too bad! Overall I'd recommend for the curries/samosas! read more

The food here is absolutely the best! The owner Davie is absolutely charming and intelligent. Pictures of Nepal decorate the dining area as Davie is from Nepal. All the food is well made and seasoned. And I'm a big fan of mango lassi and Namaste has perfected this drink. read more

When you see oil floating on top of curries you know you have been to a subpar restaurant which uses water and oil to create the curry with a small mix of yogurt. This restaurant has none of it, full yogurt base thick curry and none of that BP oil disaster on top of them. Of all the Nepalese restaurant I have been to this is my second best restaurant, and unless you want to drive eight hours to Saint Helena,CA for the best of the best, this place is very close second. Well done. read more

Delicious food . Great location.very nicely customer service. I recommend everyone to go there and try it.

Bountiful garlic naan, warm customer service, chana masala, and chicken tikka were delicious. Tried saag paneer for the first time- will try again. Nice manager. Try this place! read more

Great place to go for a quick meal. We usually get one of the combos which is a far price. Curry is flavorful and the veggie dish was great! Service is always smiling so it's very welcoming. They just got a soda machine too, Lol. Its not a bad idea to eat there, but it is a little small so keep that in mind; when you get there you'll see what's up. Definitely one of my spots to go to when no-one wants to cook. read more

Namaste Indian Kitchen - Garlic naam - Indian Near Me - Riverside, California

This is a gem. The Indian food is cooked by a chef and owner that know how to cook vegetarian dishes well. The lamb in the tiki masala sauce was also delicious. The Samasas were good. This is going to be my go to for Indian food even though it's 25 miles from home. Very friendly staff who explained where this Nepal style home cooking comes from read more

This place has great food for the price! I have never had a bad experience here. This I is a family owned restaurant and it has great service! Very friendly owners and are always very nice and helpful by trying to explain the ingredients in the food they are selling. Food taste great! I definitely would recommend this place! read more

Didn't look like much when I walked in, to be honest I didn't think it was going to be good. I really shouldn't have judged by the way it looked because the food was amazing. I loved it. I'm always craving it definitely 5 stars! read more

We've eaten here twice and it's a great family owned business. The doing area isn't ideal, you get plastic forks...but the food flavors are great. Maybe a small complaint is that they should use thigh meat over breast meat in their chicken dishes. We did a BYOB since who doesn't want a nice cold lager while eating some awesome spicy food? read more

Very affordable and delicious Indian food that's local! Staff is very polite and friendly too. I come here on a weekly basis. I hope they are open for many years! My go to is there their Chicken tikka masala :) read more

The owner is amazing, the food is amazing, and overall they are amazing. I would come here everyday if i could.

Vegan Options quite Excellent! First time Visit today on Day 28 of "Meatless March" (Maybe longer) and went with the Vegan Combo (1) Spinach (Saag) (2) Garbanzo Beans (3) Vegetable Samosa with Rice and Naan (Bread - Roti) - Spices (Spicy & Sweet Tamarind) ... and Unsweetened Green Tea - Definitely Plan to be back .... read more

Namaste Indian Kitchen - Indian Near Me - Riverside, California

This place is pretty new. I asked the guy at the counter and he said they've been there about 5 months. I got the two meat/one veggie combo for $7.50. I was surprised by the amount of food I got for the price. Definitely filled me up. What I got: saag paneer, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, rice (rice and naan come with all combos). The good: The saag paneer was flavorful and had a good consistency. The naan was also good. Definitely fresh. Lots of garlic. It looks to be a family run business and everyone was nice. The menu was pretty extensive. The not-so-good: The rice and the chicken in the masala was a bit dry. The masala sauce was also a bit thin. The tandoori could have been a bit more flavorful. Considering this is Indian fast food I think it was decent. Especially for the price and the amount of food. Oh. One more thing. They use Styrofoam trays and those are pretty fail. For the planet *and* for trying to eat out of! read more
