? Lasooni Wings - These were fantastic. Garlicy, full of spice, and very lowkey spicy with a gentle sweetness in the background, while the flavour of the chili (oil?) is the more major flavor with the garlic coming in after. It's just a slight tingle of spicy. Very tender and moist.?Garlic Naan - gentle garlic taste, and very gentle doughy background. These were good.?Chicken Tikia Masala - complex creamy savory spiced flavour throughout. Very gentle hint of sweetness and sourness. The chicken within is breast meat, cooked perfectly so it's not dry. We got the mild spice level, this was also fantastic.?Mango Lassi - I loved it. Not too sweet, creamy, light mango flavour throughout the background.?Overall, each time I've gone here, I've had a great meal.

Had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. The Chatpat Murg was sizzling hot and delightful, complemented by the delicious Butter Garlic Naan. The Cashew Chicken was flavorful and paired well with the rice. Generous portions and quick service were definite highlights. However, the Onion and Chilli Salad fell short; poorly cut onions impacted the overall experience. Ambience was decent. Overall, a satisfying meal with minor room for improvement.
The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly. A must try.

This restaurant has great Indian food, curious, and helpful staff, and good prices. The main objection that I had from lunch was that the music was too loud (strong bass)

When we arrived at 5:35, all was dark, no sign of activity, no notice on the door, either. We came back at 6:00, and still no sign of life even though the hours posted on the door said it should have been open continuously that day. I never got a message from the restaurant saying they would be closed. Very disappointing!
Outstanding Service, very nice staff, very delicious food.

Good but not great! Really big portion sizes for the price, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the actual flavor. For a Saturday night, it was really empty and I felt a bit awkward in there? The pizza crust was nice and the chicken was tender but I just didn't think the flavors blended super well with their choice of cheese. I've had one other Indian pizza before and I felt like it blended better!! My friends had the curries and really enjoyed those so I'd go back and try that!

Quality Indian cuisine at Santa Cruz Main Beach! We are big fans of Namaste from their location in Palo Alto to Santa Cruz. Great food and views at this beachfront spot. Dog friendly on the patio. Dine in or takeout can't go wrong here.Dietary restrictions: Veg, Vegan and Gluten Free all listed one the menu.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor area, very casual and lots of action on the beach walk nearby.Wheelchair accessibility: no steps to the location
Amazing quality, respect for tradition, with innovation (Indian Pizza ?) in mind. Comparably the price is reasonable for Santa Cruz. Very few establishments of this nature exist here. A staple and a Gem. The Mango pickles made my night! I will return very soon, highly recommended.
Such good food and lovely service as well. Me and family had a wonderful evening here and got some incredible food, 10/10 would
