Chicken curry
Stefan S.

This restaurant has really great food. They have a large menu and many choices and the spice heat can be varied and modified to your liking. My friend started off with the glass of wine and we got both some dumplings and garlic naan to start with. She got the hot chicken curry dish. I wanted to try something new so I got the tandoori sampler platter and it was really good. The garlic naan was some of the best naan that I have ever had and my tandoori platter was also delicious. I opted to have the rice pudding to finish off my meal and it was so good with the added cardamon on top. I was surprised this restaurant was so empty on a Friday evening at dinner time. I will most definitely be back and highly recommend a visit to this wonderful Indian restaurant. I had made a reservation, but it doesn't seem like I actually needed one.

Lunch special
Jessica A.

I had a great time dining at Namaste Baltimore. I came here for lunch with a friend, and we both ordered from the lunch menu. The prices were so affordable, and you get the option of choosing two sauces/stews with chicken, vegetarian, and lamb options. I chose the paneer masala and the chicken korma. Both tasted really good. I did start with the chaat papri, which was also really good.

Chicken Korma,   Yum!
Gretchen B.

Yum!!! This is our go to for Indian while visiting Baltimore. It's quiet, never crowded, atmosphere is good, service attentive, and the good delicious. Portions are def shareable if you can decide what to share.

The atmosphere was beautiful and very serene. We were alone at first and slowly but surely people started showing up for dinner. The staff was very attentive, able to answer all of questions and very gracious about it. The portions were huge! This will be dinner tomorrow too! Amazing food, so much flavor

Chicken Tikka Msala
Stephanie G.

My husband and I grabbed take out from here - convenient location on Cold Spring Ave but parking is limited. We ordered 2 orders of the chicken tikka masala and it was $50. For this price I was disappointed because this was good, but not great. The sauce was very watery and could have been more flavorful. Like I said, for this price point my standards are higher, but this taste matches some much more inexpensive Indian take out we've had in Baltimore. Everything did taste very fresh though! Service was quick and our order was correct. My husband said that the dining room ambiance was very nice if you choose to eat dine in!

This is my second time eat at The Verandah Kitchen, and this restaurant continues to impress me…read more This is definitely one of my favorite spots in the Baltimore area. I had the Kolhapuri Goat Curry & Gatlic this Naan bread, both of which are fantastic choices. The broth of the curry was nice and rich with a good level of spice, much of what a good curry should have. The goat itself had a bit more bones than I'd prefer, but overall even those were extremely tender & flavorful. Additionally I had used the Naan bread to help finish up the broth, which ended with a very satisfying comfort meal. The service & ambiance itself was also a pleasure. I personally prefer small establishments to avoid unnecessary noise while dining. Mix that with the incentive staff and you'll definitely enjoy yourself on your vist here, much like I did.

I have not eaten a lot of Indian food and certainly not recently so I asked for recommendations. We got an order of pakodas for the table and shared them, and also in order of samosas. Both were delicious and the pakodas were incredibly unique, and lightly fried. One of the people at our table had the restaurant weeks prefix that included tomato soup and beetroot pattie, an entree, vegetables, rice, naan and dessert all for $45. The rest of us just ordered off the menu and I opted for the chicken curry with rice which was fantastic and also got a side order of the garlic naan. It was super garlicky but very tasty. The restaurant itself is small with maybe a half dozen tables inside and two or three tables outside but it was just enough for us that evening. Our servers were excellent and helped explain aspects of the menu and helped us make decisions on what we wanted to eat. The only reason for one less star is we were finished eating and the checks arrived, we were never offered the opportunity to get dessert which was really weird. We were all planning to at least consider dessert but ended up at another local establishment for dessert. Otherwise it was a great meal and highly recommend you visiting this delicious Indian restaurant.

The food arrived hot and well packed. The shrimp were very tasty. Not much crispiness, but that is to be expected with delivery. The sauces that came with it were very delicious. I enjoyed the butter chicken. The chicken was perfectly tender and a good amount. The sauce could have used a bit more flavor in my opinion. I did order mild just to see what the baseline spice was, and would definitely go medium or more next time. The sauce was a nice consistency. The rice was well cooked, but no flavor on its own. I have been to some Indian spots in which the rice itself is very aromatic and flavorful with some spices cooked into it; this was more just basic rice. Still good with the butter chicken. The garlic naan was tasty! Overall, this was a decent spot! I'd order again and try a different spice level and some other menu items. Prices were fair for portions in my opinion.

I noted with some amusement that they sent new staff to serve me, and I figure that's fine, I'm closing in on 5000 Yelp reviews, I'm a veteran at this. I ordered slightly unconventionally, getting a spread of dumplings and a side of dal with some bread. The momos were delightful in texture. They way the were served with sauce in between them rather than on the side was a little unconventional, but the end result worked well. My dal was richly flavored, with a fresh tadka clearly evident on top. The bread wasn't quite enough to mop up the whole thing, but I don't mind just eating straight lentils from time to time with a spoon, so ultimately this meal was a winner. I would be more than happy to return.

Was this the greatest Indian meal ever? Absolutely not. Was it decent? Let's call it a…read moreparticipation trophy. As a solo diner, I was promptly seated, which was a great start. The restaurant was more than half empty, so I figured I'd be in and out like you expect at a downtown restaurant when you're dining alone. Well, that was wishful thinking. The service was slow as hell. It took forever for the shrimp to arrive, and then, when I was ready to leave, the check apparently needed to complete a spiritual journey before reaching my table. Empty tables everywhere, but somehow time stood still. I ordered the tandoori shrimp, which came with rice and tikka masala sauce, along with a mango lassi. Dinner sorted, right? Well, sort of. $25 for five pieces of shrimp felt like I had personally sponsored the shrimp's retirement fund. And the tikka masala sauce? So bland, I'm pretty sure the spices were still waiting for their flight to arrive. Naturally, I needed more protein, so I ordered the tandoori chicken. It was, once again, pretty mid. I asked for medium spice and received a level of heat that made me question my life choices. Medium should not feel like a personal attack on your taste buds. The chicken also had burnt edges, adding a little charcoal garnish to the experience. And here's the real kicker: despite serving chicken spicy enough to make me see my ancestors, my water glass was never refilled. Not once. Apparently, hydration was an optional upgrade. I skipped the rice and tikka masala gravy with the chicken because, honestly, I had already given that relationship a chance. By the end, I had spent around $50 before tip for a very mediocre dinner. That's not a meal. That's a small financial setback with a mango lassi. The location is convenient, though. I was staying at the Waterfront Hotel, and it was just a short walk away, which was probably the highlight of the evening. And to the restaurant: folks, please do better. Winning awards and putting up posters is great, but a wall full of trophies doesn't automatically make the food top of the line. The food has to do some of the heavy lifting too. This meal was pretty far from top of the line. And if you're looking for a quick, reasonably priced downtown dinner, be prepared to bring some patience, your own water bottle, and possibly a fire extinguisher. You might finish your meal before the check even begins its journey.

It's not that it was bad necessarily, other places nearby are just better in my opinion. We ordered two chicken tikka masalas, garlic naan, and paneer pakora. I was disappointed to see, upon returning home, that they only gave us one side of rice for two orders of chicken tikka. That seemed a little strange to me especially since each order of chicken tikka was almost $20. The sauce had nice flavor but the chicken was tough and didn't fall apart like others I've had in the past. I would've preferred butter chicken but couldn't find it on their menu - maybe I just overlooked it or they have it listed under another name? The paneer pakora was OK, the breading was super thick and not crispy enough. The mint cilantro chutney it came with was unexpectedly spicy. I can handle my spice but I've just never had green chutney have that much of a kick to it. I didn't try the naan but my boyfriend said he's had better. All together it was $60 which seemed a little steep for what we got. The inside is surprisingly cute though and they do offer a lunch buffet. Would I return? Probably not just given the other options in the area.
