It's not off the menu as you can see it still in there. She offered to make me chickpeas and rice, but didn't see it on the menu and she couldn't explain exactly what it was. I'm not sure how different it can be from what was on the menu so not sure why it's available or why it's not actually on the menu. They didn't have any alternative bread other than a "McDonald's type of bun" and didn't have any baked samosas. Other than that, it seems like a clean, pleasant space with a television to watch. So, I didn't get to have anything and won't be returning.

This is officially our go-to spot when we want a full-on punch of real Indian flavor. As someone…read morefrom South India, it is rare to find food that actually tastes like home--but this place nails it. The kind of food that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod. The space is small and simple--people are here for one reason only: serious, no-nonsense deliciousness. Alex, Siva, and the team are fantastic--super welcoming and always happy to guide you. They even offer two spice styles (American and Indian), each with mild, medium, and spicy. Choose wisely... or bravely. The usual dishes like tikka masala are great, but the real magic is in the South Indian menu. If you are not sure what to order, just ask--they will not steer you wrong. We have also started ordering catering for parties, and let me tell you--nothing validates food like a room full of very judgmental Indian relatives going back for seconds and thirds. At our last event, the quiet "this is really good" nods said everything. We ordered chicken Chettinad, salmon curry, aloo gobi, goat biryani, and garlic naan--every single dish was outstanding. The only tragedy? Not enough leftovers for the next day. And do not skip the filter coffee. One sip, eyes closed, and you are instantly transported home, even if it's for a little while. Moringa team--keep doing exactly what you are doing. Love it!!

We found Moringa via Yelp and could not have been happier with the experience. While the outside is simple the inside of the restaurant is quite nice. The owner was very helpful picking out gluten free options and answering questions. The food was absolutely delicious! She loved her butter chicken and I enjoyed my Palak (Saag) Paneer and naan very much. Moringa is well worth it. They have great food with polite and helpful staff. We will definitely try to stop in again. Yum!!

Ive been wanting to try this place out for years when they were doing those Indian pizzas when I…read moreused to go on Instagram. I got to go yesterday! Its located in the heart of branford. It was a bit difficult to get into because parking there was weird. I ate inside alone. The host was a bit brash but he was also talking to the uniform guy so I ignored it. The restaurant was empty. Then again it was good Friday. I got served this flatbread with chimichurri sauce, this tamarind one that got me hooked and some chopped pepper. The server arrived within 5 minutes and I was ready to order. I ordered the signature darbar pizza which had lamb, shrimp and chicken with curry sauce and a naan cheese flatbread which was basically another pizza lol. There was a TV playing bollywood shows and music. The food took a little bit but by the time it arrived I was ready to go to town. The pizza was amazing, especially with the tamarind sauce. The curry wasn't too overpowering and the crust was thin. So think new haven pizza with an Indian twist... that isn't trying too hard like Bobbi's. The flatbread was good but i soon regretted it as I had an appointment afterwards! The server was very kind and there in also a koi fish tank that another employee was tending to. 4 stars, because the darbar pizza, flatbread and a soda was a whopping $51 before tip. So i probably won't go out of my way from Danbury to grab this. However if I was close by, this would be a once in awhile treat.

In fact we've been huge fans of this type of special cuisine over our 60 yrs together & throughout our years of travel whether in the USA or abroad always sought out Indian food, especially when we spent 5+ weeks throughout our wonderful travels to India. Last week I decided to do some takeout @ Kamana thou I have ventured out for lunch there with a friend several times. Last week's food was likely the tastiest I've ever enjoyed as I am very 'fussy' about portions since at 83 have stomach issues and the young man who took my order over the phone never missed anything I told him--it was prepared exactly as I requested and 3 days later am still enjoying it in every bite I take; the Butter Chicken is superb as the surrounding gravy is sheer tasty perfection as is the Keema Mattar with Lamb; another delight is the Red Onion Chutney eaten over Vegetable Samosa another favorite as is the Alaparata Bread. I called to thank the restaurant for making my memories of India return through their delicious gourmet cooking. Ms. Lonnie S., Guilford

It is a legendary New Haven staple that captures that perfect "never judge a book by its cover" energy--an unassuming, converted diner on Chapel Street that serves some of the most authentic Indian cuisine on the planet. For decades, this has been a mandatory stop on my monthly Chapel Street circuit. I hit up Alternate Universe for my comics first, then walk the 500 feet over to Tandoor to handle my business. This place has seen many a first date of mine over the years; it's a litmus test for me if you don't like Indian food, you won't like me. The atmosphere is classic and grounded, but the food has the kind of soul and precision I've come to expect from the elite NYC spots like Gandhi Cafe. It's rare to find a place that maintains this level of quality and consistency for so long without falling off. If you appreciate a spot that focuses on the craft and treats you like family, this is the real deal.

While the chicken and lamb were flavorful and well-prepared, I was particularly looking forward to the goat. Unfortunately, the goat dish was a letdown--mostly bones with very little meat, which made it less enjoyable than I had hoped. On a positive note, the sides complemented the main dishes nicely, adding some balance to the meal. However, the experience left me wishing for more consistency in the quality of the dishes, especially given how much I was looking forward to trying the goat. Overall, Namaste India has potential, but there's definitely room for improvement. Cheers

It isn't for lack of anything else. Their Indian food definitely meets the mark with the flavors and spices. I like their Indo-Chinese menu, especially their Hakka noodles. I think their Hakka noodles might be my personal favorite dish here but my traditional go-to at any Indian restaurant is tikka missala or butter chicken. The staff here is always friendly. On this visit, we got their fried cauliflower (Gobi Manchurin) and it was very hot but so tasty. Just be warned that it's SPICY. We also ordered Saag (spinach) but it's not my cup of tea. The others who were with me said it's pretty average Saag if you are into that. Food - 9 out of 10 Service - 9 out of 10
