Food was great!! My daughter loves the butter chicken as she says it melts in your mouth with the amazing flavor. The oyster mushroom was delicious with the great texture!! And my son enjoyed the butter naan. Service was wonderful as always and the atmosphere was welcoming and aesthetically pleasing.
Great service and delicious food even if you are not use to spicy food. Do not be afraid and ask for mild and all food was very flavory. Next time I might try medium spicy?

Great ambiance & service. Ordered panner saag and naan. Curry was tasteless due to salt, still okay. Garlic Naan & rice was good. They offered to void the transaction as a generosity, I denied still they gave me rasmalai as complementary which was delicious.Highly recommend they have top notch customer service & generosity.It’s not a typical Indian restaurant, it’s beyond & better.Parking near by public parking zone & walk of 1-2 mins.

My frequent dining experiences at Namaste Indian Cuisine have been exceptional. Located right on California Ave in Palo Alto, this cozy eatery exceeded all my expectations.The inviting aroma of spices is very welcoming, the tasteful decor is top-notch creating an ambiance that is warm and inviting. The host and staff are very friendly, attentive and welcoming. I've been to other Namaste locations in Los Gatos and Santa Cruz. All have great food and unique characteristics, this Palo Alto location looks like a fine dining establishment with superior setup and elegant ambience.Food at this location is probably one of the best Indian cuisines I've tried in US. Corn malai tikki, stuffed mushroom and paneer shashlik are my and my family's favorites. My daughter loves their butter chicken. Naan has the perfect texture and taste. We usually get Oyster Mushroom curry that my wife totally loves.The portion sizes were generous, and the quality of ingredients was evident in every bite.Overall, I can't recommend Namaste Indian Cuisine enough. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is a must-visit.
This was very delicious Indian food. I want to a event for Palo Alto, Chambers commerce, and Namaste was the cater. All the food was so delicious and prepared wonderfully the servers answered all my questions very knowledgeable and polite. I definitely will be coming to the restaurant very soon and look forward to trying some more amazing food. My favorite from the selection was the shrimp lamb and the naan at the event.
Glad for a newish option for quality food with attentive friendly service. Lunch Thali was great, will be back for more.

The only two things I'd like to point out is that there was a staff member in front of the door which kinda felt like he was there to stop your entry and when I asked him if you have a bar he told me no but failed to mention that they serve wines and beers. And the servicing staff was a little eager to serve the main food while we were still working on our appetizers. Other than that it was fantastic food, absolutely gorgeous ambiance and lovely waiting staff.

The food and service at Namaste Indian cuisine is fantastic. I am almost never post reviews unless the experience is absolutely beyond expectations (or vice-versa) and the experience here definitely exceeded all expectations.This restaurant is a family owned business and they know what they are doing in terms of service, quality and tastiness of food.Went here for lunch with my Dad and we ordered the Chai, Mango Lassi, Sweet Lassi, the Gobi Manchurian appetizer, the Saag Panner Thali and Malai Kofta Thali. Everything was phenomenal, wish I had taken pictures though before the meal.The portions were substantial as well, which we ended up to-going.Looking forward to trying other items on the Menu. This will be my go-to Indian restaurant in the area. Thanks again for the awesome meal ?.

Had the best time celebrating my Wife’s birthday here. The food, ambience and service was beyond amazing. Special shout out to the staff that made my wife’s birthday so memorable. We’ll be visiting again soon enough. Thank you !
Was excited to try based on reviews, but the tandoori was very bland and the other dishes not as good as Amber or Sakoon.

Delicious meals are not always easy to find in Palo Alto. I love the palak paneer and oyster mushroom curry. The rice pudding is excellent. I feel so grateful for the kind, welcoming people who work here. The staff and atmosphere is mellow and high vibration. Overall a joyful comforting experience, every time.
