“ Very yummy. Ordered the Palak Paneer & Chicken Tikka Masala. Service was stellar & very appropriately priced. No complaints. Scrum diddly umptious. ”
“ I can't speak to if it's authentic, but we enjoyed everything we ordered. It was our first time, and being a bit under the weather, I didn't want anything too spicy. The mild was basically no spice though, so next time we'll be sure to add! The Garlic Naan was fluffy and good with or without dipping. Chicken Makhani and Chicken Shahi Korma were both great, but in hindsight, a kick of spice was needed. Generous amounts of chicken, but rice was sold separately. Gobi Manchurin was good but it would've been better crisper. Glad this is close to home, so we'll order again. ”
“ Love love love Namaste. We have ordered it for the office a few times and it's always a hit and the food is fresh. Have yet to come in and eat but will be doing so soon. Highly recommend, everything is always flavorful, fresh, and delicious. 10's across the board ”
“ Amazing ambience, decor, loved the chandelier. Quaint, not a lot of tables that's why reservation is necessary. They do a fantastic takeout as I was there and I know why. Server, host, everybody was very attentive. I had enough to bring some home and it's just like I'm right back in the restaurant. The lamb Samoa's without a doubt, hands-down I've never had such amazing Samoa's Then they have the sauce, tamarind, mint sauce, and then the spicy one that they serve. Cannot go wrong in this restaurant. Chicken Thali, just so good. ”
“ AMAZING Indian food. I'll admit I don't have a lot to compare Namaste to because I haven't tried many Indian restaurants, but if this is your first time trying Indian food I would say Namaste will give you a great first impression. I was very impressed!!!!! A group of my friends and I ordered so many things - butter naan, spicy naan, garlic naan, veggie samosas, veggie momo, chana masala, paneer tikka masala, ghosh biryani, chicken tikka masala, mixed spicy Indian pickles and rice. Overall, our favorites were the paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. Everyone thought the paneer tikka masala (which comes with cheese instead of meat) was better than the chicken one, so I would not skip this dish. I could drink the tikka masala sauce that came with both of them, it was so good. I poured it all over the naan and rice we got. We also all agreed the the garlic naan was the best out of all of them. The other two didn't have strong flavors and were more plain than the garlic naan. I loved the chana masala and samosas a lot too. The chana masala was just chickpeas cooked in some sort of tomato sauce with a bunch of spices. It was very simple, but so flavorful and delicious. To be honest, I don't even know what came on the samosas, but they reminded me of an Indian version of nachos and I loved them so much. The spicy Indian pickles were very interesting. They were not my favorite and I would not advise getting them. They had a very strong flavor that completely took over the flavor of everything else you ate them with. No one was really a fan of the ghosh biryani either - one of my friends said the lamb in it was good, but overall it was too oily and salty. I can't wait to order from here again to try more things!!!!! ”
“ We recently moved in the neighborhood and decided to try the Indian place down the street. Nice, cozy and comfortable ambience! We got a complimentary pappadum with chutneys. We ordered the veg vindaloo and chicken tikka masala along with tandoori roti and garlic naan. The curries tasted amazing and were the right spice level for ordering spicy food. The naan and roti were very well done and tasted awesome. We will be back soon! ”
“ This is a solid Indian spot in Logan Square. Since we ordered out, we didn't really get to fully experience the ambiance of the place. The people at the front counter were very friendly and triple checked that we had all parts of our order. Butter chicken: such a velvety rich flavor and I preferred this over the chicken tikka masala. Both were very tasty though We also has samosas which had a nice kick and weren't super heavy. The garlic naan did the damn thing, like garlic naan tends to do. We also ordered some palak paneer which was super flavorful and I would definitely order it again. All in all pretty good portion sizes. I'll definitely go back ”
