It could be that New Year's Day, where there wasn't a hell of a lot open, might be a busy time. It also might've been the fact that we were hungry and sat where we could watch the servers dart back and forth, just not with our food. When it finally got there, it was fantastic! Nothing "knock you off your feet" wonderful, but as it should be. So, food, four stars. Enough, affordable, and goood! The service, attentive, but was waaaay too long between ordering and eating. Minus a star. But plus one, because the sweet waitress was hot! All in all, 4 stars.

Food was good, and worth the price. But the behaviour was terrible. There was no place to sit, so I…read morechose to take away. When I paid (only cash accepted), and asked for the receipt, the man at the counter said, "Main hee receipt hoon (I am the receipt)" ---this is unprofessional -with zero accountability. I was shocked that a person operating a restaurant in Germany can be this rude and unprofessional; never came across such unprofessionalism and arrogance in any shops/restaurants in Germany (Everyone in Germany offers receipt). He then asked me to wait outside. Around 15 minutes later, my food arrived. But there was no receipt inside the food packet either. The restaurant is cramped. The environment just outside the shop is pathetic. That road is filled with drug peddlers and addicts. I would have never visited the shop if I was aware of such a behaviour inside the shop, and the unsafe environment just outside the shop. Not worth visiting.

Loved this place! Definitely the best Indian food we've found in Hamburg. I think you can't go…read morewrong with ordering any dish here. Loved the naan and chicken curry. Definitely not a pretty restaurant and service here is not anything to write home about, so the food here is the star! I wish Germany had more of these types of restaurant options, where you order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. Easy, quick and cheap! Love it!

I recently picked up something to go and it was really good. They managed to get the spice level…read moreright and I got some free Papadam and sauces which was nice. As this normally is a sit down kind of place the prices are higher then in a pick up place but the food quality also is. The main courses all come with rice. I will definitely come back once the pandemic is over to have a propper sit down meal as it looks, very nice and cozy.

4.5/5: This was definitely the best Indian meal I've had in Hamburg, and I will certainly be back…read more To begin, the restaurant has a nice ambiance. It's not extremely fancy inside but has sufficiently nice decor. Before the meal, two large pieces of papad are served to the table with mint & yogurt chutney and what I believe to be injipuli, and souf/funnel seeds are served after the meal to clear your palette. For my main course, I ordered chicken saag "extra spicy" with a side of tandoori naan. The entree also came with rice. I was satisfied with the level of spice in the saag, and I thought the dish was overall very flavorful and would certainly recommend ordering this here. The portion isn't enormous but certainly isn't small, so I was happy with the size. I had never ordered non-paneer saag and was pleasantly surprised with how great the dish tasted. The rice was definitely the best tasting rice I've had in Hamburg. I also thought the naan had a great texture after being oven baked and thoroughly enjoyed eating this with spinach and rice.

From the owner: Warum unser Restaurant Namaste heißt? Namaste bedeutet so…read moreviel wie: „Du und ich, wir sind eins. Ich grüße, ehre und verehre den Gott in dir.“ Dies bezeichnen wir auch als Leitspruch für unser Restaurant. Jeder Gast ist nicht nur herzlich willkommen, sondern wird auch hoch angesehen von uns. In unserem neu sanierten Restaurant haben wir auf warme Töne viel Wert gelegt. Die Einrichtung ist auf der einen Seite modern, und auf der anderen Seite traditionell indisch.

Pretty good Indian food restaurant. We tried the chicken tikka masala, paneer curry and garlic…read morenaan. The food came out fast and looked really nice. They put nice little vegetable decorations on top of all their dishes. Not sure if this is needed to be honest, as the focus for me is the taste, not the decorations on top. It was my first time here and we agreed that the curries were simply not flavorful enough and tasted like tomato paste. The Indian curry spices were just not really there. The garlic naan was the highlight however. Hot and buttery and crispy. It could have been a bit more fluffy though. All in all, a pretty good place for Indian food if that's what you're in the mood for. However the search continues for me for the best Indian food in hamburg.

Non-food: 5/5 Food: 3/5…read more The decor and overall vibe of this restaurant is exquisite, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the menu has extensive vegetarian and meat options. After the meal, one is served mango schnapps and paan mukhwas. I ordered naan bread and spicy chicken tikka masala, which came with rice. My meal arrived very quickly, and the presentation of the food was very on-point (see attached photos), just like the ambiance. My waiter also brought a green chili sauce, which wasn't that spicy but tasted very good. I thought the tikka masala here wasn't bad but wasn't great and wouldn't order it again. I'd also recommend picking a different dish if you're between options. The naan was very tasty, and the rice was decent. I can recommend this restaurant for a group dinner due to the great ambiance and service quality. Despite not being super impressed with the taste of my entree, I left feeling very satisfied and want to come back to try a different dish.
