Namaste Indo-Nepali Cuisine- Gahanna

I wanted to give more stars - however the tiki masala was disappointing in the sauce. The chicken itself was good, but the sauce was lacking flavor. The Lamb curry was flavorful and tender. Loved the momo!! That was a hit. Lastly the naan was disappointing.Overall, I’d come back for the momo in a heartbeat. But go somewhere else for the chicken tiki masala.

I have never seen karela (bittergourd) on a menu outside of South Asia, but one can find it here and it is truly wonderful. I come again and again just for the karela, but the whole experience lives up as well - the other dishes, the selection of dishes, the service, the atmosphere. The prices are reasonable as well.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options!

Parking: Located in a large shopping outlet, plenty of free parking available.

They will charge you more than what they have in their menu. I ordered pani puri their site says 9.99 and they took 11.99 from me.

The food is so outstanding that my husband and I make special trips from outside the city into Gahanna just to eat here. Everything is made with love and has such amazing flavor! We recommend if you are eating here for the first time to dine inside so you can enjoy the food hot and fresh from the kitchen. We typically order a large varieties of dishes just for the two of us because there's so many dishes we love! Definitely recommend the Chapate, Aalo Dum, Vegetable Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala and if your up for a real Napali treat, Sukuti with a heat level of at least medium, but we like it hot. We then add in a few other dishes like rotating between different Momo's, Chili Momo is one of our favorites. We have eaten at several Nepali/Indian restaurants around the Columbus area and the United States and the amount of flavor and the constantly excellent food has made Namaste the best.

First time here since it changed hands and really disappointed. Saturday lunch buffet. The food wasn’t nearly as flavorful as every other buffet I’ve been to of this cuisine. Not friendly service. I get that there are glass tops on the tables but these tablecloths haven’t been laundered in a very long time. That’s not a spill or two. That’s body grime over a period of time. The glass panes in the entry door were also filthy. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Too many other choices out there.

I eat Indian and Nepali food regularly as well as being a tolerably proficient cook, and this was simply some of the best food I have ever eaten. We had the Chaat Samosa, Chili Momo, Chicken Saag and Kadai Chicken. Everything was perfectly fresh, vibrant, and expertly spiced and seasoned. I could not have asked for more. One thing I will say is that the heat/spice level is real. I find that at many restaurants, I have to ask for 8-10 out of 10 to get enough heat, but here, "medium" was perfect - so definitely go with "mild" if you're not sure.

It was some of the best restaurants I’ve had. WAS a pleasant ambiance. Food presentation was so GREAT , it was super TASTY too. GO for the jhool momo, chicken makhani , kabab & chicken 65 .I was so pleased with the service I received and yeah price was reasonable Would definitely be going back to this beautiful place !

Excellent Indian food. Went there with my dad and we split the chicken wings and the chili momo with pork. Both were excellent, seriously some of the best chicken wings I've ever had. You can probably get the momo with just vegetables, we couldn't really taste the pork, but still, definitely a must-try for sure. For entrees, my dad ordered lamb curry with garlic naan and I ordered pork saag with coconut butter naan and both were very very good, although my dad said his lamb was slightly overcooked. I almost never see curries with pork at Indian places so it was nice to try a somewhat unique item, and the pork was cooked perfectly. The only item we didn't like was the cucumber salad, it just didn't have a whole lot of flavor. But still, all in all, an excellent meal, definitely some of the best Indian food I've had in Columbus.

Nice space, good service, clean, food was delicious! Buffet only at lunchtime.

We were shopping in the area and developed an itch for Indian food. A short search came up with Namaste. It was near, so we decided to give it a try. Good Decision!! We started with a Goat Soup and a Nepali Veggie Soup. Yummy. For mains we took a Chili Momo and a Lamb Curry, which were both excellent. All went down with tasty Salty Lassie. Lovely restaurant!! Great Food!!

Their buffet is great. I would not know what to eat if it wasn't for the buffet but the food is good and tasty. It is a very small place but I would recommend being adventurous and try the buffet.

The Buffet is great. Lots of different food and very tasty. Includes unlimited bread and Chai latte. Service is great too

The buffet was good. Chowmin was delicious. Kheer was tasty too. Chai was provided as a complementary. However, chicken was a little bit spicy and limited items on the list.
