    Chai
    Leah S.

    It just so happened we traveled to this area to see about adopting a dog at New 2 You dog rescue. While we were mulling over the idea of expanding our family, we decided to think it over while having a lunch in town. That is how we found Namaste. Online, the items looked pretty promising, so we decided to give them a try. The waitress tried to steer us to the lunch buffet, but we wanted to order off the main menu which seemed to make her unhappy. We started with a soda and a cup of chai while we looked over the menu. We decided to try the Malai Kofta and the Veggie Tikka Masala, with a side of basmati rice and the seasonal special garlic chive naan. The food took a surprisingly long time to be made, and nobody came by with updated timelines or to explain why the wait was so lengthy. While we were there, there were only two other tables, so I know the wait wasn't because they were slammed with people. Once the food finally arrived, we were immediately disappointed. The curries were both tepid, and the flavors were flat and boring. There was no heat, no spice, no salt and overall no real flavor. The rice was fluffy, but that's the only positive about it, and the naan was very colorful, but was really lacking in texture. The chai however was pretty good, but how really can you mess up sweetened tea? If that wasn't the worst part, once we were on our way home, we both started feeling sick to our stomachs. It was a three hour car ride home to Aquidneck area, and we had to pull over multiple times because one or both of us felt like we were going to be rapidly ill. Definitely not the experience you want after eating a very underwhelming meal. Price was fine for the portion size, food was not good due to lacking flavor and spice, service was inattentive, and getting sick after eating was definitely a downside. Ambiance was fine, but nothing really that amazing, and parking was limited due to being on a thoroughfare and accessing it during the lunch rush was a bit of a headache. Overall, it has a lot of room to improve, but after an experience like what we had, I would not return.

    To be fair, I've not been here for anything but the lunch buffet... Which is really nice. I *LOVE* Indian buffets. Some are def better than others. (If you're looking for the best buffet, this isn't it.) But this is a solid buffet, and the staff is REALLY nice. One of my coworkers LOVES their Chicken Chili (which is a fantastic dish. I finally got to have some on Friday, as it was on the buffet.) He was so praiseful about it, that the restaurant brings him a plate of it every time he comes in, even if it's not on the buffet now. (The owner even texted him that it was on the buffet this Friday, but my coworker had taken the day off.) The space is nice. It's been an Indian restaurant in it's last couple incarnations. They have silverware, and table cloths. It feels like it would dress up nice for a dinner date situation. There is a bar, but it doesn't seem to get used much. (Certainly not during the lunch buffet.) The favors are good. The staff is very nice, and the space is well maintained, and clean. The buffet is a bit over $10, but it's kept well stocked and runs a good long while. (It's still kept up after 1:30, when another coworker and I usually go.) There is usually Naan, pakora, several vegetable dishes, chicken tiki masala, and tandoori chicken. The vegetable dishes rotate, and there is sometimes another meat. Sadly, the dessert is the place I would ding them the most. It's usually a small metal bowl of kheer in a bowl of ice. The last time it was somewhat congealed. I'm sure that I will be back here, many, many times. Oh, yes. They are closed on Mondays. Adjust your plans!

    Elegant table for 2 window seat. Felt like we had a personal server

    So glad I tried Namaste! I had the Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Tikka Masala, and Garlic Chive Naan. Will definitely be ordering again.

    Is there a decent number of vegan dishes to choose from or are most of the vegetarian dishes cooked with butter (therefore, not vegan)?

    Most of veg and veg dishes can be made vegan and are vegan. We don’t use butter .

We've gone many times, and there's never been a single dish we didn't absolutely love. That being said, if you're a first-timer, you simply must order the momos. These handmade dumplings are the highlight of the menu--little pockets of pure, savory bliss that will keep you coming back for more. Beyond the incredible food, the soul of this place is its owners. They are some of the most genuinely kind and gentle people you will ever meet. They have a way of making every single person who walks through the door feel special and appreciated. It's that personal touch that transforms a great meal into a memorable experience. We are so incredibly grateful to have this restaurant in our area. It not only offers us a taste of the delicious and unique foods of Tibet but also provides a warm and welcoming space. MoMo is a testament to the idea that a restaurant can be about more than just food--it can be about hospitality, culture, and community.

    Himalaya Restaurant - Vegetable Samosa

    Himalaya, a Himalayan/Nepalese restaurant in Berlin, has been on my radar for a while because of…read moreits high overall Yelp rating. We recently moved closer and I decided to try it for a work at home lunch day. I did no research before going. It turns out that Himalaya does not presently have a dine in option, which is fine because I live nearby. I walked in to look at the menu and order. I'm not sure if the person who helped me was having an off day, or maybe he's used to regular customers ordering ahead and didn't like having to change his routine, but he was not particularly welcoming. No smile or friendly greeting. I'm fairly sure that he rolled his eyes when I went to pay with cash. I don't know who this person was relative to the restaurant, but it didn't set a good tone. I ordered from the Lunch Specials. I ordered the Chicken Saag special which came with Basmati Rice and Naan. I don't remember the exact cost, but I remember being surprised at how inexpensive it was. Everything on the Lunch Special menu was inexpensive relative to places I frequent. I was told that it would be 10 minutes. I returned around 15 minutes later and my order was ready. All of the food was at least OK to pretty good, but didn't really pop for me. I'm much more familiar with Indian restaurants than I am with Nepalese and Himalayan restaurants, but some of the dishes share names. I'm not sure if there are seasoning and other variations in Indian versus Nepalese cuisine, or if any variations are more based upon the chefs cooking the meals. In any event, Himalaya's version of both the Saag and the chicken in the Saag were different than I'm used to. I prefer the way the Saag is seasoned in my favorite Indian places in CT. I feel like the chicken in most Indian restaurants is kebab style and is cooked in a tandoori oven. Himalaya's chicken had a rougher texture and seemed like it was perhaps roasted. It was pretty good, but probably my least favorite Saag dish I've had in a while. The Basmati rice was fine. The naan was OK. The texture and flavor didn't measure up to my favorite Indian restaurants. I have multiple nearby Indian restaurants that I prefer to Himalaya. In light of that and my less than positive service experience, I'm unlikely to return to Himalaya. However, given Himalaya's strong overall rating, it's clear that others have had good experiences and maybe you'll have better luck than I did. And as I said, the lunch specials are a good value. 3 Stars
