Quality is getting worst.. the naan was so hard and the flavour was BLEND. Not going back again

Wonderful Indian cuisine with great service, prices, packaging and everything tasted amazing. Leftovers heat well and our order was ready on time.

A butter naan never looks like this Garlic and cilantro naan was no where near Rest of the naans were half baked Imagine eating gravy’s for $85 bucks Nice way to rip off

I’ve been to India 🇮🇳 twice and this was beyond good anything I had in India ~ sooooo delicious! I highly recommend this is my absolute favourite restaurant in Fredericton. The naan bread is so good it’s beyond description. And it’s kind of cool to watch the curling at the same time : ) Have been back at least 10 times since last year.

It’s always slow getting your food. They can’t seem to nail down the busy times. Disappointing

The food here is ok - not the worst Indian I’ve had, but definitely not the best (garlic cilantro naan had a weird chemical taste - didn’t taste like fresh herbs were used; meat was decent but not abundant; spice was good). The service, however. was bad from the start. It should have been a sign that no one was answering the phone during business hours when I first tried to make a reservation.
When we arrived, there was no one at the desk. We ended up standing around for probably 10 minutes, waiting to be seated. After that, it was probably 20 minutes before somebody showed up to ask if we were ready to order. We put in a drink order and waited a while for that to show up. After that, we waited again and had to actually flag the server down to ask if we could order food. Once the food did get ordered, we waited almost an hour for it to come out (nothing unusual in our order). People who were seated after us ordered, got their food, ate it, and left before we even got our meal. Meanwhile, there was a steady stream of takeout orders leaving the building. We wanted coffee after our meal but honestly didn’t have the patience to wait any more (we’re at almost 2.5 hours at this point). One of the members of my group actually ended up having to leave before we were done eating because they had another engagement to get to.
The place did seem kind of busy, but it only has about 12 tables and there seemed to be 4 severs working, plus a couple of guys who were maybe managers or an owner? I don’t know what was going on, but it was disappointing, and no one bothered to apologize for any of the delays. The server was friendly, so I guess there’s that.
This experience was also embarrassing because I had recommended the place to my out-of-town dinner guests. Though I had not been there before, I had heard good things, and I thought it was owned by the people who own Taste of India in Charlottetown. That’s a fantastic restaurant and I expected the same from this place.
Long story short, I won’t be back.

I Love the food and restaurant but the new takeout portion sizes are completely ridiculous. Kids meal size.

I've visited all Namaste locations numerous times as the food is always good, but was very diasppointed at the service we received yesterday. We only received our appetizer and drink when we were almost finished the appetizer. Our mains never came despite being told they'd be right out twice. First, without asking, the server assured us it would be out soon and then again (approximately 40 minutes after that) when we requested the bill as we were tired of waiting especially since they'd served multiple larger tables that came and ordered after us (a table of two). After the first two tables were served that had ordered after us and we still hadn't received our food, we decided we were going to go elsewhere if it didn't come next. When they served the table of three next to us that had come in much later than us, we asked for the bill. The server told us she was sure it must be ready now and left. She did not come back. So we got up and went to the counter. My husband wanted to just leave as he was so fed up. She tended to a couple other tables while we waited at the counter and she then came to the counter at the top of the stairwell that was crowded with Skip drivers and takeout customers. Perhaps too much for two servers. She gave us the bill for our appetizer and two beer (that we drank half of while waiting for our food). She said we could pay for the food and take it out. I said no as we'd waited so long already, didnt want to wait longer, and they served many ahead of us. Then she informed us our order hadn't even been put in yet. I'm glad I hadn't paid to take it out at that point - as another server had come to the counter and was holding a takeout bag that could've presumably been ours (it wasn't). Very off-putting that they charged us for such an unpleasant experience and we had to go elsewhere to eat so late. The customer beside us told us her family waited 2.5 hours on another visit. And she had been waiting a long time for her food as well. When she got it, she had to send the chicken back because it was cold. The last time we visited this location, I'd ordered a vegetarian meal, but was served butter chicken. My husband was also served someone else's dish. This was not an issue for me as I'm not vegetarian and like butter chicken, but could be for someone who is or who has food allergies.
We frequently enjoy eating at Namaste and usually have a really great experience but unfortunately our last visit, we got denied service. My partner went inside ahead of me to ask if we could get served before 3:00 (2:40) He was told yes and was seated by a server. Once seated and then I came up, we were denied restaurant service and takeout service by Arsh. While Arsh denied us service, she was eating her lunch out in the dining room in front of customers. She conducted herself in an unprofessional manner and was rude to us. We are very disappointed because we really enjoy dining at the restaurant but unfortunately, we won’t be back because she embarrassed us and made us feel very uncomfortable.

Whoever took over the management is horrible. Wait times are absolutely ridiculous and the food quality has drastically went down. Crazy expensive for such a poor experience everytime as of recently.

Absolutely my favorite place in Fredericton to eat, the Butter Chicken is out of this world!
Food was very good. We ordered everything mild and the sauces were still flavourful. Service was fast. Price was reasonable. The atmosphere is lacking, but after talking to a local, their original building burnt down and this space is getting them through in the interim. Good for this business!
