phenomenal food and service, 10/10, asked for extra spicy curry and they cooked it to perfection , garlic naan was so fluffy and delicious

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here before going to a performance at the Lost Nations theater a few steps away. we were promptly greeted and seated by our hostess who explained that a new Southern Indian menu section was just added. We saw Masala Dosa was now offered. We are huge fans of dosa from our previous lives living and working in Singapore. We also ordered the Bindi (okra) and the lamb vindaloo. Food is super tasty - very authentic. the masala (potato) dosa came with a creamy coconut chutney, and spicy sambar, and a big bowl of gravy. We loved it. The Bindi and the lamb soon followed. Amazingly tasty, cooked to perfection. The lamb could be cut into smaller pieces with a fork. We were asked about the level of heat - spiciness - we preferred, and the medium had just the right level of burn for both of us. We also enjoyed a mango lassi (cool and very refreshing) and because my wife eats gluten free, I got to enjoy a wonderful butter naan. Portions are very generous, we both took half our meals home to enjoy the next day. All in all - a great menu selection, plenty of gluten free options, great location on Main Street, and plenty of on street free parking after 5 PM. The hostess was fun to chat with, and gave us good tips about SE Asian food in general. I highly recommend. We will come every time we go to a show at the theater or at the Savoy. read more

Really solid chicken Bryani. Had takeout on a rainy summer night and it was a massive portion and really flavorful, with big chunks of chicken and fluffy rice. Have heard most of their dishes are delicious. read more

Delicious food in a beautiful little spot downtown with great windows out for some people watching. Mild on the spice levels so don't be afraid to order medium or high heat. Flavorful dishes have a lot of whole veggies for spices. Yum! read more

Having recently visited India wevwere very pleasantly surprised to find excellent Indian food in Montpelier, Vermont. The service was friendly and helpful and the price reasonable read more

Just great. 2nd time here and another home run. Vegetable Pakora is. *superb*, crunchy, delicious. Must have. Lamb curry is rich, great tomatoey sauce, tender lamb (unlike many Indian places!) Shrimp korma is super rich, coconut/ground cashew sauce, shrimp perfectly cooked. Last time we had a Father's Day special, Cilantro Lamb, that is not to be missed. Amazing sauce. Service is friendly and competent, and the place is cheery and well-kept. All in all Namaste is a wonderful asset for Montpelier! read more

Namaste Indian-Nepali Kitchen - Nice dining room looking out on Main St. - Indian Near Me - Montpelier, Vermont

A great take out spot! My friend and I were visiting and came across this place and were craving indian food so we made an order and it hit the spot! The spice level was well received as we asked for medium and it was perfect. We got the samosa chat which was good but our only complaint was that the samosa had way too many peas for our liking. We also got the dal makhani with rice and some naan and that was a 10/10 - would definitely get it again if we are nearby. We didn't eat inside (so can't speak to service or inside vibes too much) but our order was ready on time for takeout and the inside looked nice if you wanted to dine in. read more

Great service and amazing food. Staff are so friendly nice modern inside and good ambient music and lighting. Overall great.

My wife, two teenage sons (18 yrs, 16 yrs) and I enjoyed a delightful lunch here in mid-July 2024. We were not expecting to find authentic Nepalese cuisine (i.e., pork momos) in the middle of Montpelier after a fun visit to a nearby vintage clothing shop and a record store. Lots of pluses! First, it has a superb location on Main St. across from the Skinny Pancake. You can find paid meter street parking (during weekday lunch service) along Main St. (about a 5 minute walk away). Second, the chicken chow mein (with a nice combination of Nepalese curry spices) and pork dumplings (momos) were fabulous for lunch. My wife enjoyed the thali lunch combination plate and a side order of garlic naan bread. Third, the service was great at lunch. The staff noted the restaurant opened in spring 2022 (just over 2 years), but I hope it will thrive in Montpelier. It was a pleasant and welcome surprise for out-of-town tourists! Of course, if you dislike curries or have severe nut or other food allergies, this may not be the place for you. That said, we would certainly come here again for lunch on our next trip to Montpelier! read more

This was by far the best Indian Food I have had in my life. I got butter chicken which is a staple and it was perfect! Garlic naan was delicious and a decent size at that. Chicken pakora was juicy as well. I was greeted at the door by an employee who brought me my pickup order right away. Restraunt itself was quaint and clean, even though I left to eat at read more

Good Indian food. We had dal soup (salty, but they took it back and fixed it), dal saag, and aloo gobi. Great service. We ate in, but they serve a lot of food to go (take-out). Decor is casual. read more

Excellent food. Very authentic. Great friendly service! Enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend.

I have loved this restaurant since I first found them on DoorDash while working in Montpelier. Everything I've eaten has been delicious. Today was my first time eating in the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food fantastic. I tried the lamb saag for the first time. I was surprised by how green the sauce was, it contains spinach, but it was not overwhelming with spinach. Perfect as I expected. My husband ate there for the first time today and loved the chicken tikka masala. Spice level was just right when I told them that I wanted between mild and medium. When you eat there don't forget the garlic naan. It's to die for! I was surprised at the lack of customers on a Tuesday during lunch hour. Eat there and keep this small, local business going. If you like Indian food you will not be disappointed. read more

The food was wonderful! I had the sag paneer and garlic naan. Great service, great food, nice ambiance.

The saag was creamy and the spice was just right to set my whole mouth. The jalfrezi was hot. The spiced naan aloo kulcha tender and went so well with our food. The service was prompt and courteous. Pleasant simple interiors with modern Indian music playing on the large screen read more

The service was friendly with outdoor seating so we could sit with the dog. Surprisingly good ethnic cuisine. Only problem for me was there wasn't any shade, would come back on a cooler day. read more

What a fine experience here at Namaste. While I make no claim to be highly expert in my knowledge of I Dian cuisines all of the selections that we sampled were very nicely spiced and freshly prepared. This visit introduced some unexpected pleasures of the finer sorts to our day. Thank you Namaste read more

The ambiance walking in was great, we sat at the bar to order out. With the help of the staff we decided on lamb korma and were very excited to get it back to our hotel. Once we dug in though, our first bite was a STAPLE, not a bone or bug, but the office supply. We are very put off and let down by the food experience. But the staff was kind and helpful. read more

Food was excellent and well priced. Service was very attentive. Portions were very good. You could split one entre between two people. Near the center of town. I will come back again and again and try everything on the extensive menu. read more

We got takeout, but even after the 45 minute drive back our AirBnb--it was delicious. The food comes in huge portions per order and is priced reasonably for what you receive. We got two large orders of rice (that came with our food), butter chicken, mango lamb curry, coconut lamb curry, and a goat dish. The goat dish had a lot of bones which other reviews also state, but it was no issue for us. We also got two sides of vegetable samosas (one order = two samosas) and they were quite big. They were also very spicy! The spice level can be adjusted based on personal preference and we were all happy with our dishes. This was plenty of food for our group of 4 and we had leftovers. read more

The food is good every time we go which is 1-2times a month. We have only gotten take out (versus dining in), and especially love the samosa chaat, chicken vindaloo - medium spicy, chicken tikka masala - very spicy (found that the medium spice is barely noticeable for this dish), and garlic naan. The staff is friendly, but often get spelling or name wrong if you call in a phone order. If waiting for your order in the store, list off what you ordered because they could have an incorrect name listed on your order. Overall food is great, fair to generous sized portions, friendly staff, and would definitely recommend to others. read more

Table for 2 on a Saturday evening... wonderful service, wonderful staff and customers and wonderful food. We ordered dinner and were approached by another couple asking if we would like to join them. We did and it was a lovely experience with a renowned artist and architect. Both wonderful and engaging people. Such fun! We ordered butter chicken, coconut curry chicken, butter naan, Kashmiri naan and a wonderful tasting High Noon drink. Can't say enough good words about the food and customer service - outstanding all around! Look forward to a return visit and more good times and good food here. Yum! read more

We sat down for a great vegetarian meal tonight. We were greeted and seated right away, and the service staff was helpful and attentive.

We'll definitely be back. read more
