I remember going to this restaurant for a lunch buffet many moons ago. I was so glad that we decided to go in while looking for a brunch place in the hood. Great decision made!! Restaurant was quiet on a beautiful Saturday. Everything was so flavorful from samosas and garlic naan to butter chicken and chicken masala that came with rice. Mango lassi was good too. Prices were very reasonable. Would definitely come back again! Free parking across the street by Whole Foods. read more

Got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan again and it did NOT disappoint. Naan was super flavorful and fluffy, and the chicken was very well marinated - tender and moist. Curry had just the right amounts of creaminess, acidity, and tomato flavor. Tried ras malai for the first time (comes in two little pieces) and I don't know what to think, but it's not bad. Hard to compare since I haven't tried it anywhere else. read more

Delivery Order: Food was far better than some of the pricey South East Asian Restaurants I had ordered from recently. Biryani was decent enough, and the meat for a change, was tender. It's surprising how often it turns chewy and hard, when I order from some of the pricer places. Noodles and Samosas were quite good. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Food is ok, but not my taste. The pakora is not crispy, and unidentifiable components (chickpea should be the main component). Chicken Marsala is good properly cooked meat, but the sauce is too thick and not all that tasty. Aloo Gobi, not prepared in anyway I like. The Mango Lassi is good :) Service is friendly but poor. Place is empty on a Saturday night, so no excuse. Just not my place. read more

My husband and I are still ordering food for delivery or pick-up during this Covid-19 pandemic, especially since we have family members who are immune compromised. With that said , we branched out of our 3 mile radius for food delivery via UberEats to try out a different Indian food Restaurant. First off, food was packaged well, no spills/leaks. Food portions are on the smaller side. It's perfect for one meal, so there might not be any leftovers. We ordered the fish curry, and paid extra for salmon fish as opposed to tilapia. However, they gave me tilapia instead. Deduct one star! The Palak Paneer had 7 chunks of cottage cheese and the spinach sauce was very creamy . Our lamb biryani dish came with several pieces of lamb, no bones which is a plus. We would order consider dining at the restaurant in the future. Y bc read more

I used to love this place and come quite frequently for take out or delivery but unfortunately my most recent visit there turned me off so much I don't think I could ever go back. As soon as you walk in you realize their restaurant needed updates/rennovation 10-15 years ago that it still has not gotten. Old tables, chairs, and to top it all off one person serving all 7-8 tables in the restaurant. The food was disastrous as every single item came out room temperature, not even warm. It's essential for a stew to be hot when it comes out, I barely was able to eat it. Last but not least....the men's room was the most disgusting bathroom I have ever entered in my life. That was the line in the sand for me. Imagine the worst gas station bathroom you ever have seen...the namaste men's room is worse than that. It's as if nobody touched or cleaned it up in a decade, it made me lose my appetite and I'm glad I went in there only at the end of my meal, otherwise I would have not been able to eat. This place should be ashamed of themselves for opening their doors to patrons under such disastrous conditions! Won't ever go back. read more

We've been going to Namaste for years -- we love it! The Samosa Chaat, naan, and chicken tandoor are some of our favorites.

Very well decorated and cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. Food is great. Love to come back! read more

Delicious, fresh, great Indian food. Super cute place. We had ordered delivery from them a few times, and weren't blown away, but when our "normal" Indian place went out of business, we were forced to give this place another shot. We are so glad we did! I think their food didn't travel that well, but eating it in their adorable dining room, really made a difference. Great service, clean, lovely place. Wish they had a few more vegan options, and maybe a dessert...but great place nonetheless! read more

Food is outstanding, some of the best Indian I've ever had. Great Korma, Vindaloo, and Tandoori.

not like it was before naan & meat were poor quality. this used to be my go to place but will have to switch.

Took 80 minutes for the order to arrive. The delivery person was so sulky and rude, he was like you didn't pay when I showed him that I did, he left in a huff. What even! Coming to food, I seriously don't understand how this place has so many reviews. I ordered lamb biryani and chicken lollipop. The portions were great but the food was terrible, which is extremely sad. Both dishes were excessively swimming in oil, and not at all tasty. The less I say about the biryani the better. Eating a terrible biryani is more painful than a heartbreak and eating a terrible, expensive biryani much more so. What they lacked with taste, they made up for it with food coloring, when it comes to chicken lollipop. Will never order again. read more

They sent 2 of the same dishes on my last Uber Eats order instead of 2 different dishes. They don't align their website menu with their Uber Eats menu so you have to call them and order a different dish and key in notes. Then they still mess up. Incompetent management and employees. read more

If Yelp reviews ever required a title, I'd name this one 'Pleasantly surprised'. This establishment is located in the spot where Kinara used to be. Strip mall is on River road across the street from Whole foods market. Has decent size parking space for convenience of the patrons. Walked in expecting to have lunch buffet but, found out that buffets are only served between Friday thru Sunday. Server was quick to introduce the lunch menu so we decided to give it a try. Lunch menu was consisted of marsala dish with choices of different proteins. I chose goat for the protein and medium spiciness. Lunch was served and this was a pleasant surprise. Plating was nicely set and food was quite tasty. Appetizer, rice, crispy tortilla like chip and side dish of naan was served with 'fall off the bone' tenderness goat meat in thick marsala sauce. Goat was truly tender with great texture. Can't wait to return and try dinner menu in the near future. read more

I hate the traffic in this area but one thing I cant complain is the abundance of great food. Another great find! Namaste was found on groupon and we decided to give it a try. The visit was pleasant and we got plenty of attention since the restaurant was empty (Tuesday dinner). For starters they bring out papadums, which are flat crunchy bread made out of lentils and fennel seeds, very fragrant and slightly spiced (gluten free!!!). You can break it and dip it in cilantro chutney or tamarind chutney. We had aloo chat for appetizer and it was great. The balance between spicy, sweet and tangy of chutneys was the perfect topping for the crunchy on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside aloo (potato) patty. My husband had the shrimp vindaloo. The regular spice was plenty. The amount of heat was high that left you sweating a bit but not high enough you could not taste the flavors on the dish. I had the special curry with chicken korma. The delicate cashew flavor of this dish was a surprise but a good one. I wish the korma was a little more moist, the meatballs were a bit dry in my opinion. Service was attentive and very knowledgable of what was and what wasn't gluten free. Everything is made to order. read more

if i could give 5 stars just for the perfect service here, i would. All 3 of the staff members i had during my dinner, were absolutely friendly and warm. They were also very organized, the dishes came out in a timely fashion and my meal was amazing. The longer i was here, the more people came in to grab dinner also, but the staff handled the bigger crowd smoothly. Its rare that even 1 server is very nice, but at Namaste all 3 servers were welcoming and warm, something that is hard to find thesedays. I would come back just for the great service alone. As far as food, you are greeted with a selection of indian 3 chutney sauces to dip your fried cracker/bread into (forgive me i always forget the name of it!). Fresh water awaits also. As far as starters, i had the samosas. 2 large ones came on a plate, and they were made very well. they were stuffed to the shell and cooked well. As an entree i had the Malai Kofta - and i would highly suggest this to any vegetarian friendly friend of mine! It was my first time trying this dish, and it wont be my last. It comes with jasmine rice - plenty of refills which you will need because the curry/sauce itself is a large portion. inside of the curry/sauce youll see maybe 4 to 5 large paneer/potatoe balls. they are very filling, and have a strong paneer flavor. the sauce itself, i got with little spice since i am having stomach issues, but the flavor was just as good without the heat. its creamy and slightly sweet! the creamy cashew flavor comes through at first. A mango lassi came along with me for the whole meal - very smooth, but thick i also was allowed many refills as i could get. however, i was almost full to a tipping point after everything i just ate. despite, how full i may have been - a dessert is always a must! the rasmalai was good, a bit on the small side for a desert, but i loved the coldness of the milk and the freshness of the indian cheese. it was a nice way to end a perfect dinner. read more

I had chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Although it was delivery and cannot review fairly comparing to dine-in experience, The dishes didn't take my fancy. Tikka masala was good volume for one person as well as chicken portion in it. The sauce was however acidic than my average tikka masala taste. It's personal taste but I wouldn't order it here again. Garlic naan was rather hard and lack of flavor overall despite the delivery was in 1 hour. I had mango lassi but amount was about 350ml. read more

Finding out about Namaste India, a quaint Edgewater NJ hideaway, was a true revelation. This restaurant was not only a pleasant place to visit but the cuisine was out of this world. Samosa Chaat with warm Garlic Naan led into two beautiful entrees of Chicken Tarkari and the vegetarian Alu Gobi was extra spicy (by request) and mind blowing! A dessert of warm Gulag Jamum, a spongy milky ball soaked in hot rose sugar syrup, and a chilled rice pudding (Kheer) topped with grated saffron had our pallets delighted. The perfect end to a filling and satisfying meal with a good friend. The ambiance was warmly lit and there was every measure of precautions against Covid-19. Guests were spaced properly, masks were worn, and hand sanitizer was readily available. If anyone is worried about visiting locations during the pandemic the staff advised that they work with Uber Eats and offer pick up services. My friend and I were treated like family by the staff. The food was delectable and any questions we had were kindly answered. Not only am I interested in returning to visit but I can't wait to order some food to be delivered. If you have a craving for well-priced, delicious Indian food and you live in the NYC/NJ area, check out Namaste India in Edgewater NJ. I am so happy I found this place, and you will be too! read more

Tried this place via delivery on a Sunday afternoon .... Malai kofta - tasty, but they were more like chewy dense dumplings than deep fried croquettes. Came with 4. Overall, enjoyed it. Sauce was creamy and only mildly sweet. Chicken biryani - tasty but I've had better aromatic biryani rice. Nice big chunks of white meat chicken throughout though! Lamb korma - perfect. Will order again. Amazing sauce for dipping. Lasuni shrimp - salty and spicy. Wasn't a fan because the description said coated shrimp. Coated in what? It wasn't coated in anything. I guess the light garlic and onion sauce it was in? Boyfriend enjoyed it but I wasn't a fan. Onion kulcha - great bread! I liked it WAY more than the regular plain naan for dipping. Only comes with 2 slices though, so order double. Samosa Chaat - sweet, delicious, will order again. Only came with 2 samosas but it had a ton of the chickpea topping, mmm... Enjoy :) read more

Great lunch buffet at Namaste! I had literally some of everything - the chicken tikka masal (duh), some paneer dish (wasn't saag but not sure what it was), tandoori chicken, curried coat, basmati rice, and more. There was this rice pudding type dessert that was also really tasty. I wish I could tell you the names of everything! Along with the buffet, the naan was nice and hot. Service was good as needed to refill waters. It was $15 for the buffet so pretty well priced too! read more

Came in for the $14.95 weekend lunch buffet here, and what a good value. The food is tasty and I love that the buffet style exists so you can try everything. You will pretty much get unlimited naan served to you hot & fresh. I only wish that the food was hotter. Also I noticed that the chicken tikka masala sauce here is a little on the sweeter side. read more

So I order from Namaste pretty frequently from GRUBHUB. They are always always tasty! Consistently delicious and I get the same order each time! Even in a case of an error with a delivery they will make the situation right!! Thank u Namaste for my complimentary paneer tikka because of the delivery error! Will continue to order when in the mood for perfectly tasty Indian cuisine! Highly recommend read more

I have the goat curry, it is the best, my wife love there butter chicken, we will come again.

This place came highly recommended to me by my husband's manager and my best friend. They both had really good experiences here so this was obviously something we had to try. My husband called about 4 hours ahead to see if we can reserve a table for 2 at 8pm. Since parking sucks, my husband dropped me off and I went in first. I was seated right away but wasn't offered any water right away. I looked around the restaurant and they were busy for a small place on a Saturday night. My husband finally showed up about 5 minutes later (still no water) and we looked through the menu and decided what we wanted. Eventually someone finally came to take our order and we were left to wait. During wait, I noticed people coming in after me who were getting fresh starter bread. Believe me, it was better that we didn't get any bread, but being seated, literally, in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by people who came in after me, I started wondering why we weren't provided any starter bread. I thought maybe they were still making some fresh, but in the end we never got any. Regardless I was hoping their service would pick up and the food would make up for their lack of attendance to our table. We ordered the samosas for an appetizer, which I have to say , was highly disappointing. It tasted like it was preheated with an overly hard shell and dried out potatoes on the inside. I definitely don't recommend ordering the samosas. My husband also ordered this lemon ginger tea, which took so long to get to us, that we had forgotten we even ordered it until the waitress came up to us and told us SHE forgot to bring it to us. She said she had made it and forgot about it. She did apologize for it and she was really nice so we couldn't feel some type of way...but it's really not great as first time patrons.... Anyways, we ordered two types of curry: churpi subzee (vegetarian curry) and chicken Makhani (non-vegetarian curry). We got a side of rice and an order of garlic nann. The curry and the nann was definitely amazing. I'm not sure why but I expected the curry to be spicy, but it was not what I expected. After our main dish I ordered a dessert named paan which is basically made out of leaves. For those who are used to normal ice cream flavors, I don't recommend this to anyone. It's definitely an acquired taste and it cleanses the palette, but truthfully, my first thought after the first taste was that it tasted like an air freshener. I was skeptical at first but remembering the wise words of Andrew Zimmern, always try food twice to really judge it! I ate most of it but I'm not sure I'd order it again. Truthfully if it wasn't for the parking and the beginning lack of service, I would've given this an extra star. read more

I did delivery and the food was okay. I'm surprised with how little rice they gave. They didn't give naan on the side too which was a bummer. The vindaloo was packed with a lot of chicken which was good but it was pretty liquidy.. I also got raita and it was super super liquidy.. not the right consistency at all. read more

So I came here with my friend because we were craving Indian food. It was both of our first time coming here and we were quite pleased. Parking was a little bit difficult to find. Although it's in a plaza with their own parking lot, there are lot of people and it was hard to find parking for a bit. Anyways, there are two entrances. The first entrance is in front of the highway and the second is in front of the parking lot. If you go through the parking lot entrance, you go through a party room into the main room. There you get seated and served. We both got the saturday buffet special which was pretty good and pretty cheap (cheaper than ordering a plate on the menu). There was a wide variety of different dishes which was nice. I got two plates myself and everything I ate was really good. We also got the mango lassi which is a smoothie like drink that contains yogurt. It's good but definitely not worth the $$. I was shocked when I saw how much it cost. Overall, I'm a fan of their buffet food. Definitely will be back for that. The service was great as well, the staff was very attentive and very sweet. read more

My friend lives in Edgewater and she excitingly told me about a new Himalayan restaurent that opened walking distance from her house. The menu isn't strictly Himilayan though, most of the menu is Indian and some Nepal and Himalayan choices. I had the Chicken Mahkani and my friend had the Lamb Korma. Both were excellent. As soon as you walk in you smell all the spices and then you taste those spices in your food, the meals are extremely flavorful and the chicken and lamb are both tender, juicy and succulent. Very large portions and they will refill the rice. I got the regular naan and my friend got the garlic version. Each 4 pieces and fluffy and crispy at the same time. Perfect for dipping. Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. My friend got Kheer which is a rice pudding dessert with grated dried fruit and spices in it. I got Paan ice cream which wasn't on the menu but the waitress offered it to me because they just got it in. Never had Paan before but apparently it translates into leaf and it tastes like you are eating a flower! It was delicious and very useful to clense your palette. Great quality food and variety of choices at reasonable prices. Definitely stop in for something unique, you won't regret it. read more

Placed an order for deliver took 90 mins to get here?! Only 3 miles away from them, food were cold when arrived. And 9 USD for a small portion of tom yum soup with TWO small shrimp, about tiny portion of unknow veggies with pretty clear and strong spiced soup. Oh and see pic 1 for one LARGE piece shrimp which they disguised as a ginger! See pic 2 for garlic naan which is over burned and taste has no garlic at all. Also had pad thai which has 3 shrimp for 17 USD and no sauce taste at all. Oh this is a Indian and Thai place which both of dishes sucks. read more

I highly advise going there on saturday noon for the buffet !!! And if you do, I highly recommend skipping the dishes that we're already familiar with (palak paneer, tika masala, curry, etc) and focus on the new Saudi Arabian cuisines: 1) Jareesh - boiled coarsely-ground wheat, yogurt, and special topping sauce 2) Kabsa - arabian basmati rice, nuts, raisins, orange peel, tomato paste, chickpeas, carrots 3) Saleeq - arabian cracked boiled medium grain rice, milk, cardamom 4) Falafel - arabian style using fava beans instead of chickpeas - this makes the falafel stay moist because chickpea-falafel dries out quickly according to the chef when I chit-chatted with him! read more

I was excited to come here because the last time we had Namaste was when it was at it's old location further down the road. Disappointed because the food was just ok. The garlic naan was good. But overall the food didn't seem to taste the same as before. Everything was a bit stale and lackluster. Giving them an extra star because they gave good service. Nice servers and they were attentive. read more

My wife and I have passed down River Road in Edgewater countless of times, on our way to Mitswua or Edgewater Cinema and we've never noticed this place called Namaste. Well allow me to say that it's a shame we've never been there before, because this place is amazing, the service is fantastic, and the dining is superb. I am so glad that Groupon is around to show us these tasty gems. I'll start by explaining in detail yesterday's dining experience. We were served by Anchal and Arjun. The two friendliest and cordial folks we've ever met. They made us feel welcomed. Appetizers, my wife and I ordered the Chicken Lollipops in Nepali sauce. This appetizer was more than enough for two folks, it was extremely tasty and well presented. For drinks I got me a Mango Lassi, my wife on the other hand opted for a more common drink a Sprite on the rocks lol. For entrees, we decided on Lamb Korma and Shrimp Saag, with garlic nan and onion kulcha. The entrees were huge portions. The Lamb was so tender and juicy. The Korma sauce was perfect, not too spicy and not under spicy either. Shrimp Saag was delectable, with the creamy spinach Saag sauce. I love the fact that they remove the shell from the Shrimp's tail, a nice touch! After we finished our meal I wanted to purchase and extra rice to take home with our leftover meals (they were plenty of leftover), Anchal offered to give us a side order of rice for free, and she offered to give us a free Kheer (a sweet delicious rice pudding). When we got home we noticed that we did not have our extra side rice, but we did see the Kheer, it doesn't matter as the Kheer made up for it. We will most definitely come back again and enjoy more of Anchal's and Arjun's excellent service and superior food. read more

I just ate at this restaurant. Really amazing curries and samosas. I was especially thankful that the food wasn't too salty and seasoned just right. I have to knock a couple stars off because the restaurant was dingy. Especially the bathroom. It was disgusting and really needed not only a cleaning, but a renovation. I took a wet paper cloth and wiped off dirt and grime from the sink and was in shock. It only made me wonder how sanitary the restaurant was. Maybe it's just me, but clean bathrooms make all the difference when it comes to a restaurant. read more

The owner of Namaste was welcoming from the moment we entered and our waiter was attentive and engaging. A small pleasant atmosphere with all an around classic Indian feel. The food is authentic and amazing, the chef has definitely perfected the menu. I enjoyed the Pakora as a starter the Tikka Marsala with a side of Garlic Naan and the mango pulp lemonade. A wonderful and very safe indoor dining experience during a world health crisis & I am grateful. Highly recommend! read more

I and my husband looooove Namaste!!!! They give us complementary crispy chips when we dine in which I love so much. They are always nice and good service. We tried many of the dishes on their menu and everything we tried was so good. Their meats are always good and tender. Our favorites are Everest Gobi for starter, Okra main dish, any lamb main dish and Chicken tikka masala. Their main dishes come with rice. Don't forget to order their garlic naan! Also they have their original naan named Namaste Naan. It was like a dessert and was really good, as well:) read more

I've been wanting to try this out and finally got a chance to. As soon as I entered, I could smell the fresh spices slightly mixed with incense. It felt like a legit Indian cuisine experience especially with the hospitality of the staff. We ordered chicken tikka and non vegetarian thali which was like a sample platter of few different menu items with rice. I would highly recommend the thali for those who are exploring Indian cuisine the first time. And one thali could easily feed 2-3 easy so I wished we didn't order the chicken tikka, but I'm glad we did because it was one of the best ones I've tasted in this side of the globe. I think they also have weekend lunch buffet. Definitely gotta come back for that! read more

I had long heard great things about Namaste, so I was thrilled to find out that it was open late on a Sunday evening when we were in need of a last minute dinner spot. We were able to easily grab a parking spot on the street in front of the restaurant, which was very convenient given the hour. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door and quickly seated in the nice, yet casual, dining room. The service continued to be friendly and efficient throughout the evening, and the food was just as enjoyable. The Garlic Naan was fluffy, doughy, and topped with a sufficient helping of the chopped seasoning. The Chicken Tikka chunks had been marinated in tandoori masala and oven-roasted on skewers. The meat had been thoroughly seasoned, though some pieces were juicier than others. The Chicken Korma was slightly better, having been simmered in a smooth cashew paste-infused sauce that was creamy, rich, and aromatic. In addition, we received a side of flavorful jasmine rice, which they even replenished towards the end of our meal. From the welcoming atmosphere to delightful service to affordable and appetizing cuisine, Namaste lived up to its hype. read more

First, I will start off with the service. It was good and they were very attentive. Unfortunately, I cannot day the same for the food. We ordered Aloo chat, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and Chana masala. The Aloo chat had decent flavor but the chickpeas were overcooked. The chicken tikka masala was beyond disappointing. I didn't taste the spices and it tasted more like a plain tomato sauce. The Chana masala was not memorable either. Due to the reviews, I figured I would give it a chance. The 4 star reviews on the restaurant did not match the food in my sincerest opinion. On two separate occasions I have gone to indian restaurants in Edgewater and they were both subpar. read more

The expression namaste is defined as "I bow to you,"...it is a respectful greeting. It's a fitting name for this place. The wait staff and manager could not be more warm with a very kind, low key demeanor. Our often waiter calmly works with us to strategize the meal including the combination of flavors and heat settings...he really cares about doing the best he can and getting it right. I recommend your getting his input. We have enjoyed every meal we've had here. We will typically order from among some of our favorites: Chicken Momo (dumplings) Cheese Naan Raita Everest Gobi Chicken Xacutti Lamb Vindaloo Shrimp Namaste Special Shrimp Yangoon Palak Paneer We've been to the weekend buffet which is an excellent way to try a number of their dishes. Today there were four types of appetizers, two salads, soup, noodles and no less than three chicken entrees, one goat, and six vegetable offerings, two kinds of rice plus dessert. A basket of naan is brought to your table. If you like things spicier, they fill be only to happy to bring you the spicy condiment. We're somewhat perplexed that the place isn't full every night. We think that the food is uniformly good and that Namaste is undoubtedly the best Indian restaurant anywhere in this part of NJ. They do have a thriving takeout business, but we prefer to dine in at this solid BYOB. It's a four star restaurant...the additional star must be awarded for the bow. read more
