    An easy five stars. It's a fast casual place, but don't let that deter you. The drill is you order and pay at the counter, and they bring the food to you when it's ready. The guys working behind the counter are friendly and display a genuine desire you enjoy their food. We both ordered combos that include your choice of entree, rice, and your choice of Naan. I ordered the Butter Chicken with medium spice and she ordered the Chicken Masala. We shared our entrees, and all of it was first rate. One nice thing is you can specify what level of spice you want when you order. I chose medium spice, which was spot on for me. Some folks think of it as an American Fork place, but it's actually in Lehi. Don't let that deter you, either. American Fork and Lehi are adjacent towns. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in that part of Utah. My pics are better if you click on them. Yelp crops pics weird sometimes.

    What a surprise & delight! We were not expecting much from Cafe Namasthe strictly based on the storefront but they taught us a lesson in judging a book by its cover. You may think you're going to get a fast-food version of all your Indian food favorites but it turned out to be some of the most flavorful Indian food in the valley. We shared the Chicken Tikka Masala Combo, Butter Chicken Combo, a Mango Lassi, and the Butter Naan and Cheese Naan. For literally no wait time and service to the table in less than 10 minutes, this place should absolutely be on your list for Indian food the next time you need your fix.

    Great little Indian Food Restaurant. We came here on a whim last night and we left full and satisfied. The service was great, the inside was clean and well maintained but the one complaint I had was the amount of time it took to get our food. We were already hungry when we arrived and after we ordered it took 25mins to receive our food, mind you there was only two other couples in there so they weren't busy, so we were starving when we started to eat. I ordered the Chicken Korma and it was delicious, I don't really know good Indian Food but this definitely hit the spot and tasted great to me. I would say this is a great take out spot but not a great order and dine in type of place if that's what you're looking for.

    Ordered takeout on a Saturday night and it was ready very quickly after placing the order. The employee was very helpful and kind over the phone as well as the one who gave us our food when we picked it up. We have had Cafe Namaste before but it has been over a year. We were really looking forward to giving it another chance since it has been so long. This place has great reviews and I am personally a little confused as to why. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with the medium spice level. There was not very much chicken at all in the masala. It also did not have a ton of flavor in my opinion, and seemed very watered down. After putting some of the masala over the rice, there were piles of water that were surrounding my rice. It was definitely a lot of liquid. It just tasted like it was lacking seasonings and flavor overall. The rice was fine, it's rice, and there were no complaints there. The garlic naan was decent, but there were quite a few pieces that were pretty chard and burnt so we could not eat them. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be returning to this establishment. In my opinion, there are better Indian restaurants with a lot more flavor very close by.

    Okay. I'll be honest before eating my food I wasn't very impressed with the wait time of my food and the location. But that's mostly because I didn't do research on the place before showing up so the environment is definitely not what I was expecting. Here is a tip. This isn't really a sit down restaurant. Most people do takeout orders and they will make the food as the order comes in so you will have to wait for you food after to go orders are made. I would suggest just ordering takeout. Although there are spaces to sit. This food is made sooooo fresh. It's amazing. The butter chicken was my favorite but I don't think I ate anything I didn't like. The mango lassi was great and the naan was made right in front of me. I seriously loved the food. So next time I will order to go and see if that made my experience better. I will update my review when I do.

    You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Chili paneer is my personal favorite and the naan is delicious! Highly recommend.

    I would give 4+ stars for the chicken, and 2 for the "Korean" meals. I'll explain…read more I ordered the bulgogi bibimbap. Not traditional or authentic. Except for the warm (not hot) rice and the luke warm (not hot) bulgogi, the ingredients were cold. Cold. The spinach was cold. The sautéed mushrooms were cold. (And they were just either white mushrooms or Cremini.) The scrambled eggs (scrambled eggs?!) were COLD and unappetizing. The sautéed onions were cold. And of course, the ice berg lettuce (lettuce?!) was cold. Cold, mostly non-authentic or traditional ingredients. After eating half of it, I did not finish it. My friend offered me one of his 5 piece drumsticks. They were HUGE. I joked that he ordered turkey legs instead. The chicken was good. I'd give it 4 stars. My meal was brought out to me. Thanks! I asked if there were chopsticks. He pointed them out to me as he was returning to behind the counter, passing them along the way. I would have given him kudos if he would have just gotten a pair and brought them to me. Oh well, no biggie. Just shows a lack of stellar customer service is all. What saved my experience was going next door to Snelgroves for some ice cream. LOL Go there for the chicken, just not for the other menu items. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    This location is honestly in one of the worst spots. If the drive thru line is long and backed up…read morenear the intersection, it's a nightmare trying to get into the parking lot. We came on a Friday evening, which didn't help, but this location is never not busy. The food hits the spot every time. The fries aren't my fave fast food fry (controversial?) but they're good enough, especially with the spread. We ended up getting our food to go because it was pretty overwhelming inside, but everything was still great by the time we got home.

The drive through line was long as usual, so we went inside and there was only one group in line in front of us. From ordering to getting our food, it took about 10 mins. If you can afford getting out of your car, it might be worth popping inside for a possibly shorter overall wait! My bf got a double double and fries, and I got a regular hamburger with onions, fries, and a vanilla shake. Of course our burgers were delicious and perfect. My only qualm was that they had accidentally put chocolate into the bottom of my shake, and as a weirdo who doesn't like chocolate, I wasn't a fan. That's the first time that's ever happened though, so I'm sure it was a one-off! Ambiance is casual, service is polite. Seating at 4pm on a Sunday was plentiful.

    I love love fried chicken...I enjoy having fried chicken at sit down restaurants or fast drive…read morethroughs...from national brands to international versions! I like it all and actively look for fried chicken wherever I am It's with this fried chicken obsession in mind that I made a bee line to Houston Tx Hot Chicken which I found on Yelp. First let me say the design and aesthetic of this restaurant wins hands down; beautiful ins store imagery and signage. However, it all about the food! I ordered : 1) A classic chicken sandwich, mild sauce, combo (comes with fried and drink) And because I didn't want to miss out on their other sandwich...not like I'm here everyday ! 2) An original sandwich ( only) with mild sauce. 3) Mac and cheese for good measure This was a "linner" for me and frankly was hungry but also wanted to try as much of their offerings as possible. Whether it's the classic or the original, I didn't like either sandwich...the chicken of either sandwich wasn't crispy or moist, which I found strange considering both had a sauce. The adding of the sauce didn't help at all. I chose the mild and medium and were in spice/hot range that I was comfortable with. The fries were crispy and my favorite part of the meal. The Mac and cheese were sort of gummy and lacking in flavor (cheese flavor and salt). The service was friendly, helpful and fast but it's all about the food and I may never come back.

    What a HUGE disappointment! My previous visit this was Crack Shack. Being celiac and unable to eat…read morefried and breaded foods, I had found the perfect restaurant. The meals were health oriented and incredibly good. But now it's turned into another unhealthy, greasy, fattening run of the mill restaurant people are trying to escape. Very sad.
