Namaste Restaurant

I’m 7 months pregnant and was majorly craving Indian. I love chicken tikka masala and I got an order of that, with naan, to take away. I asked for it to not be spicy, and it was perfection! My only complaint is the expense of Indian food, but I don’t feel that’s unique to this restaurant. I would definitely recommend this place! :)

I tried the buffet with a friend and the food was good. I would go back for sure. I was offered the Mango yogurt drink which was heavy but tasty. I was very fool after leaving this place. The flavors were good.

It’s pretty good. Nothing super special. It’s the standard Indian food and nothing really stood out for us. I still like Little India more which is sad because even that place is a pretty standard Indian spot. I’d probably go back if it was closer but Little India is right around the corner and there really isn’t much of a difference.

The upside: good water and naan was decent. The staff was amiable.
The downside: the way our stomachs feel after eating here.
Food was bland, stale, and so overly creamy to a point where we were literally asking ourselves, «did they put velveeta cheese in the matar paneer?»
Paneer was like a pencil eraser left out on the sidewalk for weeks in the rain and sun and wind, to a point where it got all dry and cracked and sort of brittle, but still was chewy and squeaky when you bit into it. They brought complimentary papadum to the table as a starter, which was a nice touch, but unfortunately it was also so stale we thought they might be shilling out the old papadum they couldn’t sell.
Even the fennel at the door was stale.
If you have weak gall bladder, turn around.
I wish I never had the gumption to take a date here.

Best Indian in Denver in my book. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Don’t let the strip mall fool you, this place is simply magnificent. The curries are savory and the Aloo Gobi is remarkable. Garlic Naan is a must! Don’t miss out on Namaste! Large veg section too!!!

I had the chicken tikki masala and it was to die for. I would have been happier if the portions were larger for the price. The food and service were fantastic. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Don’t be put off by the strip mall appearance. This place is good! I have small kids so I’m a bit impatient with service. Service was a bit slow for dinner but it really was worth the wait even with cranky kids. Everything was really good. You get to pick the level of spiciness you want for pretty much anything. I’d love to come back for the lunch buffet so I could try more dishes and not have to wait!

LOVE this place. The chicken tikka masala is amazing. I love the rice too!!! And the naan. The naan is freshly baked and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is peaceful and the staff is polite and kind. My husband and I come here EVERY Thursday for date night. Love it!!!

Food is 5 stars. I had the vegetarian thali for dinner and my friend had the meat thali. We both loved our food.
Restaurant lost one star because of difficulty redeeming a coupon that is offered on the restaurants website. The website says to present the coupon which I did on my phone. The server at first refused to accept the coupon because it was not printed on paper. He ultimately accepted it after some discussion.

Picked up takeout last night. Was absolutely delicious!!! Highly recommend! Drove a little out of my way due to Unilocal reviews and it was worth it! Will be back!

Food was 4 – 5 stars. Venue was 2.5 stars. It balanced out to three stars. Namaste, I recommend you invest in modernizing your venue from 1994 to present day. That alone will bump this review up one star.

Simply delicious! Menu isn’t too long or complicated, but has all the typical, favorite Indian dishes and a few extras. Will be back!

Yak and Yeti on Sheridan in Westminster sets the standard for Indian food in the metro area in our book. We find everywhere else just doesn’t measure up. Well, after our second visit to Namaste we are compelled to write a review and say that these guys are in the ballpark!
First off, our waiter was absolutely sweet and humble. From Bhutan I believe but we did not catch his name. He was a pleasure. As for the food… wow. I saw recent reviews that complain about the smokey smell… that is the Tandoori ovens and to us we think its magical! Adds to the flavors and authenticity of this place!
The Boti Saag is awesome! Such perfectly cooked and seasoned lamb! The Malai Kofta… what sorcery is this? It was out of control delicious! We ordered too much food and I couldn’t stop and ate til I hurt. We all did in fact. The Meat Momo also awesome as was the tomato chutney that accompanied it!
They have a nice authentic mild chai as well. I was thankful to have our friendly waiter offer me many refills as the cup is tiny.
Its a much needed break from the norm. Very authentic. Tucked away unassumingly by the Natural Grocer on Wadsworth just off Hampden. We also noted that everyone else in the restaurant was not only a repeat customer but we could hear them discussing with excitement as to what they wanted off the menu this time.
We have only ordered off the menu but will try the buffet one of these days to see how it measures up.

Whenever we have a craving for Indian, we come to Namaste!
Nothing is a better deal than their Thali dishes. In the veggie one, you get a generous portion of bagan bharta, saag paneer, alu gobi, daal, a samosa, kheer, rice and naan all for the amazing price of $ 16. We find it’s enough food for two with ample leftovers; however, we are light eaters.

Don’t let the strip mall location deter you, this is one of the better Indian restaurants in Denver. We were pleasantly surprised with the lunch buffet– except for the saag, which was awful. We came back another night for dinner though and the saag was wonderful. So, my tip would be maybe come for dinner and get the sampler plate. Everything we had was super delicious. If we are in the area again, I would definitely return. Only complaint besides the saag at lunch was the atmosphere was a bit stiff at first, it took a while for our server to be friendly with us. Overall, it’s a little hidden gem!

Two words — lunch buffet.
**mic drop**

I’m sorry to say but this restaurant has really gone down hill. They used to be my favorite, and now I see them as overpriced (unless you go for lunch buffet).
I will stick to the buffet but skip on dinner. I feel ripped off. It cost me $ 18 for one entrée and a desert for dinner.

Best in Denver! We have eaten the cuisine all over the world and in cultural bastions in large American cities. You will savor the flavor and revel in the lighter presentation of your favorite dishes. We partook the lunch buffet and we were impressed with the moist and tender condition of the chicken dishes, despite arriving past 1:30 pm. The bhindi (okra) was fabulous. Saag was flavorful and spinachy, more veggie less cream and just as much flavor. Chicken Korma also far less heavy and delish. Chicken Curry was served in a light sauce and very flavorful. Big surprise how moist, tender and delightfully smoky the tandoori chicken. I love mine with achar. House recipe was right on the mark. The kheer was thicker than most, mildly sweet with subtle tones of cardamom, cinnamon and other exotic spices. I had an iced Chai tea which was flavorful and again lighter than most.
Despite its location, tucked in back of a strip center, it is traditionally appointed with table cloths and charmingly attentive service. We highly recommend this restaurant.

They have excellent food, clean ambiance, prompt service and very personable.
These guys are my good friends. We have dined with them (yes it feels like a family) for 4yrs their food is really good… They are a part of my good memory of our days in Denver…

I’ve been to Namaste several times, and the fact that I keep going back says that I like it. I’ve had the lunch buffet multiple times and have gone in the evening ordering off the menu several times as well. It has always been good. So why «only» 3 stars? I answer the question with another question, «what’s wrong with 3 stars?» 3 stars is the high side of average — «A-​OK» in the language of Unilocal.4 stars is considerably better than average and 5 is pretty freaking amazing. To my tastes, both the food and overall experience at Namaste is the high side of average — plenty good enough to bring me back, especially at those times that I’m on that side of town.
The lunch buffet has the usual «classic» offerings and they keep it well stocked. The menu is ambitious, and other Unilocalers have commented that you can order your desired heat level on your dishes. Having said that, we have found the «heat» to be inconsistent — we’ve had «medium» dishes that have been closely akin to «Thai medium» and we’ve had «hot» dishes that are surprisingly namby-​pamby. No matter, the food quality has always been good. Service has always been cordial as well, although it has been surprisingly on the slow side some nights — surprising because we’ve never found them busy at dinner time, not even on a weekend. Because they’re not generally busy, Namaste is a good option for groups. That they’re not generally busy also makes it quiet and conducive to a relaxing meal with family and friends. The dining room is clean and pleasant, portions are adequate but not large, and prices are consistent with other Indian restaurants in the metro area.
Bottom line, if you’re in the southwest quadrant of town and Indian food sounds good, Namaste is a good option. Actually, you don’t have a lot of other options in that part of town except for India-​Nepal Oven by Southwest Plaza. Which reminds me, I haven’t been to India-​Nepal Oven for awhile, so I’m overdue to check it out again, but I remember it as being pretty comparable to Namaste across the board — another A-​OK option for Indian food in the southwest burbs.
