If you are an Indian traveling to New Orleans and missing ur food then this is definitely the place to visit. And if you are someone who wants to explore Indian cusiene then don't miss this place. They have great options in the menu both vegetarian and non veg. U can pick up from wide array of starters , choice of drinks and then move to main course. We had ordered few chicken dishes with Naan. Delicious food and Naan was very well made. The one point of disappointed was aloo tikki chat. They could have made it better. Overall a great experience, at one point I felt I was in India 🙂

My family and I loved the food. This is as authentic as it gets. The proper use of whole spices in the gravies stole our hearts and my parents couldn't stop raving about the place even an hour later. So we will visit again today. If you do crave for spicy Indian food with the right kind of spices (and not just red chilli powder), this is the place to go. The chef deserves a raise!

Run don’t walk to this place!! I arrived as the first person for their dinner shift and everybody on the staff was so warm and welcoming. Even educated me on the I’ll cricket championship that was happening, which was cool. The food was absolutely phenomenal! I had the chicken tikka masala and the garlic naan, both were cooked perfectly and full of flavor! I did medium spice for the tikka masala and it was perfect just enough kick to it. Next time I back in town, I am definitely coming back!

Yash was a great server! He was the only server there with a restaurant full and he managed to made me feel like I was the only one. He was excellent! You gotta ask about his custom Mocktail! It was delicious!! Can’t wait to come back.

Namaste adds significantly to the Indian restaurant offerings in New Orleans. It has many options that are not available elsewhere, and the food is delicious. You’ve been there two times and each time the service was great. Our servers Ranuco and Gopi patiently described the food to us and made some helpful recommendations. Caution, the food is hot!
