AMAZING lunch buffet. Came here on a Saturday afternoon. The food tastes great. I immediately went for the butter chicken and tandoori chicken. It was piled high. The inside of the restaurant has a very nice ambience. I would highly recommend

Really great Indian food. I've been eating at their santa cruz location for years, and recently moved temporarily to los gatos and was excited to see a location here. The food is really good and wholesome and just makes you feel good. Authentic flavors and dishes. Our favorites are Malai Chicken, Murg Malabar, Vegetable coconut curry, palak paneer. Butter chicken and Tikka Masala also very good if you are into those popular indian dishes.

The food is good and ambience is perfect - nice cosy experience. Customer service is okay. We ordered vegetarian food and their eggplant vegan entree is great. customers of Indian origin love to have cut onions with their meals but charging $5.00 is a bit too much. I was happy to pay but the red onions are just want too spicy. I think they buy the conventional type that isn’t suited to eat raw. I shared the feedback only to be told by the server, “I cannot do anything about it”. I didn’t even ask for a refund was just making a suggestion for improvement.

Delicious! Loved the Chicken tiki masala and the pea paneer. Naan bread was also delicious. One of the best Indian restaurants I've eaten at.

We enjoy eating here. They have great weekday lunch specials which includes vegetarian options. They have flavorful dishes that aren't overly oily and the portions are large. The appetizers such as the samosas are tasty too. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they spice each dish exactly to your preference. Excellent service and consistently satisfying food—definitely worth a visit!

Namastay in Saratoga exceeded all our expectations. My husband and I went to Namastay right when it opened and ended up eating way more than we intended — everything was that good! From daal to the butter chicken and kadai paneer, each dish was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. The naan was fresh, and perfectly cooked.
Highly recommend if you're craving real Indian flavors with excellent service.

The waitstaff couldn't have been kinder to me when I showed up 25 minutes from afternoon closing hour. The food was exceptional.
Was there at lunch and dinner. Their lunch combo is very extensive. They don’t serve it at dinner. Tried chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori and lamp. They are ok. Rice was not good. Naan was pretty decent.
I suggest here for lunch more than dinner.

Late Review – Found Snail Shell in Veg Biryani Posting this review a bit late, but it’s important to share. Last week, we had ordered Veg Biryani from this place. Shockingly, I found a small snail shell in my second bite — thankfully, I realized it before swallowing.

I’ve been a loyal dinner customer at Namaste, but today’s take-away thali lunch absolutely blew me away! For such an incredible price, the thali was a vibrant spread, I ordered the Malai Kofta (which is my favorite) accompanied by dal, rice, naan, mix pickle, salad, raita, and dessert—all perfectly balanced and fresh, even as takeout, which made it all the more appreciated and unexpected. I also ordered the palak paneer for my daughter, and she loved every bite of the creamy, spiced dish. The quality here is unmatched, with every ingredient tasting like it was prepared with care. What truly sets this place apart, especially in the Bay Area where value is often overlooked, is the warmth of the staff. They’re so kind and attentive, making every take-away order feel special. Thank you, Namaste, for consistently delivering exceptional food and genuine care for your customers!

Delicious! High quality food, the sauces were a little thicker and had less oil than other spots we frequent, which we liked. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly suggest!
