This is a small family owned restaurant and the food was very tasty. Fired rice and masala curry chicken were very good. Would recommend for good Indian food with a twist

My new favorite lunch place! The food is delicious and plenty of healthy options that don’t sacrifice on flavor. The chai is the perfect balance of flavor without being too sweet. I highly recommend this place!

I crave Indian food often and like to come here for a modern take on Indian food. The service can be slow at times but the wait is well worth it! I recommend getting a chai tea while you’re there.

This is one of my favorite places to go and I recommend it to anyone who isn’t in a hurry. The food is worth the wait, the deep dish lamb is my personal favorite. If you have a couple hours for dinner it’s great for catching up with friends.

Namaste Cafe is under the radar on Hennepin Ave, but one of the best Indian cuisine in town. Their curry is excellent and the Dal is exquisite. The service can be a tad bit slow, but well worth the wait. The staff is always approachable and accommodating. I have not had a bad meal ever. I love their outdoor patio. The salads are amazing and unique.

I’ve really enjoyed Namaste every time I’ve visited. Over half the menu is meat-free, and most of it is vegan or can be made vegan. It has some great Indian street food options which aren’t always available at other places. I had their chai a couple years ago and loved it, I’ll have to try again soon! The last time I went I tried their Maharaja cocktail and loved it. It had a great balance of fruity, floral, and spicy flavors.
