Diner notes
4 out of 5
I visited Namaste Indian Cuisine on California Ave with colleagues, and it was a really pleasant experience. I ordered the Saag Paneer Thali, which included perfectly seasoned saag with cubes of soft paneer, dal, rice, naan, salad, and a little dessert , everything felt well-balanced and authentically cooked. To start, we had the Stuffed Mushrooms, the mushrooms were juicy and generously filled with a spiced, cheesy mixture that paired nicely with the mint chutney. We also tried the Corn Malai Tikki, which had a creamy, slightly sweet corn filling with a mild spice and crisp exterior delicious and light, yet satisfying. The staff was friendly and attentive, the ambiance calm but lively, and the overall meal felt like a really nice, mid-priced lunch spot. Would definitely come back for the thali and appetizers.

So we had dal makhani, shahi paneer and garlic naan. It was served with rice. The best part honestly was the service though. Have not seen such a busy restaurant with such good service. Garlic naan was so nice. Lovely. Rice was nice too. The gravies were way too spicy for us but don't blame them for it though haha. Specially recommend the dal makhani. Did not like the texture of paneer though.

Great spot to have a good lunch with colleagues. We sat outside on a beautiful afternoon. The air was crisp and the service was warm. The menu is what you’d expect from a typical Indian restaurant - I went in for a lunch-friendly thali. It proved to be more than a lunch. The dal, curry and nan were delicious, so I took leftovers home. Lassi hit the spot. We had two appetizers - both were elegantly made, amazingly presented and very shareable.

Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
