My favourite Indian place in town! Their buffet is terrific, their Butter (makhani) chicken is top-shelf, their kheer is delicious, and the mango soft serve is amazing! My wife and I live closer to a couple of other Indian places, but Namaste is our go-to and it’s totally worth the extra distance!
Always good with plenty of selection and kind people. Delicious. Take your family and friends. The only negative is you will eat too much.
I love this place! I feel like with the area of the location it's in, it's a diamond in the rough. It could use a bit of a makeover, but I still enjoy going there. The staff there have always been very friendly. They backfill the food quickly. The food is always DELICIOUS. And the price is reasonable.
If I had to complain about anything it would just be that they haven't had samosas the last few times I've gone. I'm not sure if they've taken it off their menu or if they don't serve them at certain times/days.
We attended the lunch buffet for $16 and we don’t regret it. There were too many options that we could try and believe me.. everything I tried was amazing.. I wish I could eat more and never stop.. Palak paneer, vegetable Vindaloo.. chole, soft Naan.. potato and brinjal fritters.. everything was soo good.. very authentic.. no extra spice.. just full of flavors..

Don't let the location, the outside, the unassuming environment fool you. This is one of the best and most varied laid out buffet in town. Highly recommended.
The location is rather .. unwelcoming on first look. There's nothing spectacular about this location. Dont let that fool you. The food is amazing.
The food is great. All the options are mildly flavored (not too spicey, not too bland), and there are a LOT of varieties! Each dish is clearly labeled and the ingredients listed--in case one is sensitive or allergic to an ingredient. This is awesome. The options include 3 varieties of rice, a lot of veggies, couple of desserts and two flavors of ice cream, and a lot of veggie curry and a lot of meat curry, and complete with naan and tendori. Just an amazing amount of options.
The crew is very friendly, very kind, and very engaging.
Another thing that is great is... you can get utensils--unlimited quantities of utensils. Whaa?? Have you gone to buffets where you get ONE fork for the entire meal?? ONE lousy fork and they ask you to keep it...So, yeah, you stab your strawberry cake with greasy fork and your cake now taste like pork BBQ. No! This buffet will take your utensils and you get a fresh set. I don't know why resturants don't do this and instead force you to use ONE fork for the entire meal!
Cost of $20 in year 2023 is very reasonable and typical for buffets, just about every buffet any kind is charging that amount. This place you feel you get your cost worth due to great team service, great food options, and great flavor!
Come try it out. You won't regret it.
I was there for dinner, the rice was old as if it was sitting there since the morning. Some of the meat options were good. I might try on lunch to see if the food is more fresh.
Namaste is definitely worth a visit. The buffet spread is quite extensive and includes a wide range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The ambiance is comfortable and relaxed, making it the perfect place to catch up with friends and family over a delicious meal. Don't forget the coconut and mango ice cream for dessert.
Delicious! There's many different varieties of food here and so many to choose from. I love the curry and chickens. The staffs are friendly and nice too.
This is probably my favorite restaurant! A step above every Indian buffet I've been to. Besides the flavorful food, I would pay to go just for the homemade soft serve! It's good I don't live too close by, because I would eat that mango ice cream every night. The coconut is also great. The Gao Chicken Curry was my favorite entree, but everything I tried was delicious.
This place is so freaking good. Such a good price for everything you get. New to Indian food or just haven’t tried many dishes? Here’s your chance. Everything is so good. I especially love to finish my meal with the mango/coconut swirl soft serve. So refreshing.
All you can eat buffet style Indian cuisine. We went with two vegan friends and they had plenty of choices. The food was okay and filling. A little pricey for the quality and only one person was working.
Calm, and the atmosphere has good vibes.
The chicken butter is very good and the lamb is perfect .. the only thing that I didn’t like was the yogurt sweet dessert
