Food was so good that we forgot to click pictures My husband and I tried this place & ordered the 2 item combos. All combos come with rice, naan & a drink. We got the tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, veg korma and eggplant and everything was so full of flavor! My favorite was the garlic naan! Delicious This was our 2nd time here. The first time we ordered a la carte and were not disappointed with the food. Will definitely be back! read more

I was staying a the hotel next door and decided to walk over and give this place a try. I order takeout and was very impressed. The service was good, the people were nice while I was waiting. If you did want to eat in, I noticed they have a nice Indian Beer selection. The food I ordered to go was the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and rice. Overall, very good and would happily go again if I was in the area. read more

So tasty and the people were really nice!!! The price is about that of a sit down restaurant but this definitely had more of a cafe feel. Other wise loved the food and the people. Will come back again!!! read more

I ordered food from the restaurant next door and while I was waiting for my pickup order. This is another restaurant I had saved on my bookmarks. They had buffet with quite a nice selection of different Curries with samosa's with nice looking pilaf rice. Only $14 for 3 items. They had a nice menu with plenty of Vegan and vegetarian options. Small, clean casual dining area, very friendly staff. I will definitely check them out when I'm in the area again. read more

Namaste India Cafe - Buffet - Indian Near Me - Redlands, California

Great Indian food, close to home. I've ordered pick up and delivery from here and it was great both times. It's a small fast casual location with eat in available. The chicken Manchurian was a pleasant surprise, I had never tried it. Both the dry version and the one with gravy were both good and the hot version wasn't overwhelming. The lamb vindaloo was very good and the sauce was delicious to dip the naan in. read more

We came here for dinner and ordered two main dishes to share. Chili paneer is different than what I used to have. Butter chicken was good. We got two orders of naan as well. It looks like they also have buffet option. Overall, i think it's a good place for some Indian food. read more

Food was decent overall and the flavors were good in some dishes, but the experience was a bit inconsistent. Portions can be better. The restaurant itself was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Not a bad place, but there's definitely room for improvement in portions and consistency. read more

Food: Namaste India Cafe serves up comforting Indian cuisine that hits the spot every time. I especially love their combo plates. Perfectly portioned with warm, fluffy naan, creamy spinach saag, and their standout veggie mushroom masala, which is rich and flavorful. Their mango lassi is a must-try: cool, refreshing, and a great balance to the spices. Price: The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Most vegetarian entrees are around $16.99, and combo plates typically fall in the $17-$19 range depending on the protein. Appetizers like samosas and pakoras start at $4.95, making it easy to enjoy a full huge portion meal without breaking the bank. Ambiance: The restaurant is clean, cozy, and brightly lit, creating a welcoming atmosphere whether you're dining solo or with friends. It's located in a strip mall. This place holds a lot of sentimental value for me from past visits with my best friend who's now working in SF. Service: Staff are mostly friendly, no fake niceties here, and the food always comes out hot and fresh in a timely manner. I've never had a bad service moment here. Parking: Parking is a breeze, there's always plenty of spots available right outside in the plaza lot. It's super convenient, especially since it's close to both my workplace and home. read more

Friendly staff. Quick service. Good rotating selection of vegetarian and meat choices on for lunch combo from hot deck. Combo comes with rice and plain or garlic naan and a fountain drink. Can choose 1-3 entrees. Delicious food. Flavorful. Not overly salty. Quality food. Decent prices. read more

This newly opened cafe is a welcome addition to a slowly but ever growing town. It's more deli style where you can do an item combo and pick items from already prepared and warm foods out front. Alternatively, you can order items made to order as well. So my fiance and I did a bit of both. For the 2 Item combo, we opted for aloo gobi and chicken curry. Full of flavor and not too bad for what you pay for, though still a little pricier than expected. Lamb kebab came with a whole lot of rice but yep, this was nice and tender. I think their made to order items are arguably the better option here. They were kind enough to give us naan for free, I think there was an extra order made on accident. The naan was nice and garlicky, fluffy, and just right. So all in all, this is a decent spot for grab and go, or call ahead of time and grab and go. Either works great. read more

This is my new favorite location to get some amazing Indian food! They have both quick serve options and a large menu of food made to order. The naan is some of the most delicious naan I have ever had, and they give such a large portion - plenty to have for the entire meal! The quick serve food is not spicy, unless otherwise noted, but they do offer chili if you need to spice it up. Their tea and lassi are both delicious! Some of our favorites include the lamb curry, chicken tikka masala, and their spicy chicken. They have amazing prices for the amount of food you receive and the service is extremely friendly. They have a decent amount of indoor seating should you choose to dine in. If you are looking for delicious Indian food nearby then definitely make a trip to Namaste India Cafe! You will be pleasantly surprised. read more

very VERY good for Indian takeout. The employees were very sweet and helpful. For quick tikka masala & palak paneer, this is my new go to... They don't skip out on flavor -even when it comes to the rice. Also, they don't just give you store bought naan. I had the vegetable korma the other day, and that too was delicious. The homemade papadam w the red and green sauces... such a GREAT snack. read more

Really good food. Best Indian food in Redlands. Had the malai Kofta and the Chicken Tandoori.

Great little lunch spot. Shahi Paneer, saag paneer, vegetable biryahni, veggie samosas, plain naan. Food is flavorful and fresh, and the best naan I've ever had. Generous portions, 2 item combo is basically two meals. Service was super friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I love this place so much. His hot bar area has amazing foods every time we come in and he cycles out some of the dishes to have his customers get access to amazing foods. His restaraunt is a chill place to sit and eat or just do a to go order. My family loves this place! read more

Went to have a lunch and was very impressed. The food was great and there was plenty to share. I will say if you're in a rush, call ahead and order. It takes a bit to get the food, but that is due to them being so busy. The staff was so nice and helpful to all that came it. When you crave Indian food go to Namaste. read more

Food was delicious! Price was on point, and probably the best Mango lassi in town. My only notes are I wish the chicken cubes were smaller, rice was a little dry but still good flavor. I love when mango lassi actually tastes like fresh sweet fresh mango and that's exactly was what they have. The garlic naan was epically huuuge. I hope it stays that way and not only because they're just opening. Crispier than what I'm used to and well flavored. Chicken tikka masala was good, I love it when it's not too sweet. Will def be coming back for lunch! oh also the chili chicken is amazing, will be coming back for that because I only tried a sample. read more

Namaste India Cafe - 2-Item Combo: Chicken Tikka Masala, Spicy Chicken, Rice, and Garlic Naan. - Indian Near Me - Redlands, California

Redlands has some truly (if not surprisingly) fine eateries, but since it's still a town more than a city we are unfortunately lacking proper representation from several cuisines: Mexican, Italian, and Indian. There's the very popular NAAN CAFE at the Albertsons on the South side, but I fear it's popular because it has no local competition. We tried it twice and it was simply too bland and Americanized. I celebrate that locals want to support this type of cuisine, and so if you're seeking an upgrade -- -- try NAMASTE, located at the former PIZZA SHACK and where the old RUI'S SHANGHAI BISTRO used to be on Lugonia. NAMASTE is informal like NAAN, but the food is fresher, more authentically spiced -- but not so authentic you need the Redlands Fire Department to hose down your mouth. You have a choice of ordering from the vast menu, that includes a ton of vegetarian options by the way -- OR -- being quickly served portions from various hot plates. What makes NAMASTE superior to any Indian place I've tried are all the little touches. They offer white rice but take the yellow seasoned rice with little bits and bobs of flavorful items. The naan isn't ordinary but big, thin and fresh. I typically hit the stewed lamb (mild spice), the classic Indian spinach dish, and the butter chicken. But there's at least six other choices from the hot plates including ample veggie items. That's three portions for $14. but if you eat half of it with the naan you get a second meal the next day. This is good for workers in that area that could swing by and pick up an inexpensive lunch to split, creating the $7 lunch! I've been several times at this point and I've always avoided the tandoori chicken -- because -- at any Indian buffet it can run dark and dry on the hot plates. The very friendly owner Dev offered to make some 'fresh' -- which I thought wasn't even possible. I thought tandoori was slow cooked in a smoky oven, but it's actually a crazy hot oven that smokes/cooks it fast. What eventually came out was ambrosia. This is a complete game changer and now this is the only way I'll have what turned out to be the best tandoori chicken of my life, no contest. To grasp this profound moment: imagine loving frozen supermarket pizza your entire life only to be introduced to fresh pizza. (Yelp reviewers eyeballing this MUST show up with a chicken loving friend and try this. But be warned the spices will stain your fingertips for a bit, lol.) I am a very critical critic and the only complaint I've had is the decor, which for lunch is clean, comfortable and serviceable but at night no longer cozy under the bright lights. I appreciate that lunch driven spots can feel a little generic at night, but in time maybe some hanging lights and carefully chosen prints on the walls might make an early evening visit pleasant too. I used to hit RAISING CAINS before shopping at ALDI (which prevents me from buying sugary crap) but I must confess NAMASTE has stolen that business and WOW is this little spot a glorious gift to Redlands. UPDATE -- I've nudged friends towards this spot and they all come back to me the way I left NAMASTE the first time: RAVING! read more

Everything I got here was fresh and tasty. I'm picky about Indian food but the tikka masala curry was yum and love that they give rice with it. Good portion sizes for great prices. Best garlic naan. Honestly I was impressed for a casual dinning spot for it to be as good as it was. And friendly staff too. Samosas tasted authentic. I would come back again read more

The food is always great. Good pricing for portion and quality. The chicken tikka masala is my toddlers favorite meal (they usually greet him by name too). They are patient with people ordering when they have no idea what to order. The garlic naan is a must. read more

The environment was bright and open like a cafe vibe, ordered the 3 combo meal and a 1 combo meal with a side of raita and a mango lassi. Prices were cheap, I got the tandoori chicken chicken Tikka masala and palak paneer. They didn't ask what spice level I wanted so everything was mild, got free papadum and an extra sauce the server recommended to try. Service was good, combos came with garlic naan and rice everything came in small bowls on a plate so I dumped out my rice and chicken tikka on the plate. The spinach was a 2/5 wasn't very thick but not watery the Tikka masala had some very dry pieces of chicken but was sitting under a heat lamp buffet style. The naan was good some really crunchy parts but they gave a generous amount. The tikka masala sauce was good but have still had better and he forgot to give us our mango lassi but didn't charge for it. 5/10 overall score! Wouldn't necessarily come back unless I was nearby and on a budget for Indian style food. read more

This place is really great! I recommend coming here to grab a bite to eat with the family or simply by yourself for lunch. I door dashed ordered my food and went to pick it up.

I appreciated when you order them include rice with it! So for instance I got the buttered chicken ! Which I also recommend btw!! And it came with the same amount of rice to eat with my meal. If you have a craving...come here! :) read more

"This is really good" repeated by the husband as he was trying everything and I 100% agree. Had the vegetable pakoras- crispy and flavorful. Best chicken curry (medium) husband has ever had. Vegetable Malai- mild- buttery cream sauce. Gobi Manchurian- a bit saltier than I would have preferred but aromatic and incredibly flavorful. Add it to the fluffy rice and garlic naan for a winner winner dinner!! Can't wait to try more delicious items next time! And the service was excellent! read more
