Yum!!!! Was super impressed with the food here. First time trying them out. We ordered through Skip the Dishes so I can't comment or rate them based on the restaurant itself. Only on the delicious food. We ordered Dal Makhani, a spicy dish with lentils and blank beans in a beautiful sauce. Also Fish Masala, Saffron Rice and some Naan. What a delicious delicious! The Naan was the only negative about that meal. It wasn't very fresh. Otherwise, everything else was so yummy. If you haven't been there or haven't ordered from them I highly recommend you try them. It's now my new favourite Indian restaurant. read more

We have been coming here since they moved to this location on 163 street. We love the buffet but during COVID and getting take out we discovered even more fantastic dishes! The cauliflower 156 appetizer is soooo good! The naan (especially the garlic naan) is so tasty. We take 88 year old grandma and she loves it - Namaste is excellent at adaptable spice levels for everyone. The staff are very attentive and friendly. A definite favourite in our family. read more

Buffet was really disappointing. I realize they just opened it but they had small picked over amounts of the fish and vegetable pakora. Tandoori chicken was dried out and cut into oddly small chunks. Butter chicken had almost no chicken. Salad bar was out of salad. The naan was very nice and fresh. The actual service was good but I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend and won't be returning. read more

Outstanding food! Highly recommend! Great prices as well! Quick service and friendly.

Amazing people , Amazing food, the service was amazing. The lighting is beautiful the music is beautiful. When you first walk in and you smell all the amazing food very welcoming read more

Went in for take out. Desiring butter chicken!! I want to say that this was the best I've had!! I can't wait to take my family here! From what I could see while waiting for my order, was a very clean, friendly and warm environment where the staff were happy to see you even if it's your first time!! My only regret was that I didn't get the name of the young gentleman that served me... BUT next time I go, I'll pay more attention. Next time I'm going to try a dine in experience! I already know it's going to be great! BTW, I'm not Indian. Go here!! read more

Namaste India - One out of the two Samosas left (until tomorrow) - Indian Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

We love this place! I didn't expect much from the outside, but as it's steps from my apartment I figured why not! The Naan is my favorite in the city so far. Our usually order is butter chicken and Chana Masalaa It lost a star for the following reasons: ordered takeout from their app a few weeks back only to find out they were unexpectedly closed. Skip the samosas. They're made with all chicken breasts which makes them dry and crumbly. read more

I have been to the restaurant once and ordered delivery tonight and the food was really good, we had a lamb and chicken dish, basmati rice and naans and a lentils dish and they were all very delicious, your tastebuds will be satisfied for sure, after 2 of us ate we still have leftovers which is nice as well. Food was delivered in a timely manner, looking forward to my next order. read more

Bad experience! We don't get out for dinner very often so when we do it is a treat. Or it is supposed to be. We left the leftovers for the dumpster rather than taking them home. You can only reheat a dish so many times. The environment was nice but again we weren't seated in the beautiful yet empty booths towards the back of the restaurant. Why not use the assets of your restaurant and make your guests as comfortable as possible? Would not return for the food either. Don't get skip the dishes here because it will be DOA on your door {cold}}}} We ordered aloo gobi butter chicken garlic naan rice and samosas. When we asked for a beer he said get it from the fridge yourself. Which I did and was the best part of the meal. All the food came out within ten minutes of being there. Very quick! But it seemed to us, as we could hear the microwave beeping away in the back that none of this food was made for us. Isn't that why you go to a restaurant? You place your order and the food is made to order, like atMcDonald's, subway etc. The samosas were ok but flaming hot in the middle and cold outside. The rice was acceptable. My girlfriend didn't like the naan but t I thought it to be ok. But our entrees, butter chicken and aloo gobi came out warm at best. They asked if we would like mild medium or hot and we said medium. However I bet it would have been the same bland mess whatever we would have said. The food got really cold quickly too, a telltale sign of being re heated. At the end of our meal we were asked if it was good and we said well, not really. I asked how much of the food was made fresh. And he said what do you mean? And I said made to order. He said what did you order? It kind of says it all really. He explained that the rice was probably microwaved (the rice was fine actually) but the rest was made for us. I delved deeper and he further explained that the chicken is cooked in the morning and sauce is added as ordered then re heated. In the microwave most likely. He said the aloo gobi was made fresh but honestly it came out so fast. You simply can't cook a potato that quickly. And it's not a race but I can taste re heated food. Not good. He gave us a discount however it didnt make up for the waitresses embarrassment as we got lies as answers to our prep questions. You know this restaurant could be packed if only they actually *gasp* cooked your food for you. read more

Ordered takeout and was not disappointed. Can't give 5 stars if I've never been in the restaurant as I haven't seen what its like and food always tastes different when you eat it fresh as opposed to delivery. read more

Hubby and I wanted delivery for dinner, but we're getting tired of pizza and Chinese. He suggested we try one of the delivery apps, so we ordered through Just Eat. I pleaded with him to let me get Indian, and for once he said OK. He has a delicate tummy, so has to watch his spice level. Never wants to eat Indian unless I make it and can control the spice. So we ordered online (I love this, it reminds me of the app I use a lot in Los Angeles when I visit. Don't have to be social if I'm not feeling it). There's an area to put comments, so I asked them please to go light on the spice for his lamb. It took 45 minutes or so (as it states in the ordering area), so no worries. Husband had the Lamb Butter Masala, and I had the regular Butter Chicken. We also ordered rice and some plain naan to go with. For all those, our total came to around $45. A little high, but the food arrived hot and tasty. Hubby was completely blown away by how good his lamb was, and impressed that they paid attention to our spice request. The butter chicken was also very good. We have a new go-to favorite for delivery! read more

Wow. Amazing. Art. 11/10. I had the butter naan, coconut rice, and butter chicken. And I'm pretty sure I died and went to heaven. Cannot wait to order here again. read more

I made my husband take me out on a date, so this was his choice. He wanted Indian, and frankly so did I. We thought about trying a new place, and we ended up at Namaste India. The restaurant itself is small and quaint, with bright natural light from the windows. It was warm and inviting, and we were able to seat ourselves. I'm not sure how busy this place gets for sit-down ordering, but there was delivery people that came and went a couple times, and hungry patrons who had pre-ordered their food to go. We were offered water, and my husband also opted to have a chai milkshake. He said it was awesome. I tried it, and I would have to agree. It was very very good. Taking a look at the menu, we went with just a couple basic dishes. veggie samosas to start. They were hot, and crispy and super tasty! For the main course, we opted for Butter chicken, beef korma, saffron rice, and decided on the Special Naan. (on the menu, it doesn't say what makes it "special". Turns out, that there's cherries baked into the naan! It wasn't overly sweet, so we still ate it with our savory main dishes, and it was great). The food came out relatively quickly after our appetizers, and man did it smell amazing! The Butter Chicken was sweet and mellow, the saffron rice was perfectly cooked and the beef korma was packed with flavor. We took the naan home as a treat for later, and it was still as good then as it was at the restaurant. Stuffed to the brim, and ready to pay, we were chatting with the staff and it turns out they deliver to our area of the city! Bonus! After the meal we had, I'd definitely order again! read more

I eat here frequently and the service is always very friendly, even when I place an order to go. They are so nice and always chat with me. The food is wonderful. I've had a few dishes but always go for the classic Butter Chicken Wrap which is, in my opinion, better than Remedy's version. I know it's sacrilege to speak ill of Remedy, and don't get me wrong - I eat there all the time, but Namaste's butter chicken wrap is way more flavourful and more reasonably priced. The food is always piping hot and PLENTIFUL. Get ready to share. The chai is amazing, too! Namaste is a hidden gem tucked away by the Jasper Place campus of MacEwan University. Check it out - you won't be disappointed. read more

The delivery time was an hour and a half for our order. By the time it got to us the food was cold and the rice was dry. The butter chicken tasted more like tomato soup than butter chicken. The butter chicken samosas where advertised as a pastry filled with butter chicken sauce. It came as soggy regular samosas covered in butter chicken sauce. Don't waste your money and time on this place. read more

The worst food ever I ate in my life. I don't want to give any star, but that's the minimum. We ordered for delivery to my work. We got tandoori chicken wrap, chilli chicken wrap, paneer tika wrap and palak paneer wrap. Chicken wraps didn't had much of chicken, it just had rice and some gravy which smelled and tasted weird and stale. Same was the case with paneer wraps. We could not take more than 1 bite. Will not recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed read more

A very tasty menu with lots of options and authentic flavours. This restaurant is very deceiving as it doesn't look like much on the outside but what a great experience. We dined in but there were several pickups for take out/food delivery service. Our waiter was very helpful in assisting us with our questions as we have lactose and gluten allergies to deal with. The food was made fresh so they could accommodate our restrictions easily. The butter chicken, beef vindaloo, coconut rice and the cauliflower dishes were mouthwatering. Will definitely be back. Very reasonable prices too. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but not impossible. The restaurant was very clean. What a hidden gem! read more

If you're looking for a place with excellent butter chicken, namaste is right for you. The service is a little slow but food is absolutely incredible! Haven't tried anything else but the butter chicken, saffron rice and naan bread but I haven't been disappointed yet!! Parking is a little odd as well other than that, excellent place!! read more

I've never eaten in the restaurant but 90% of my SkipTheDishes orders end up coming from Namaste, I just can't get enough! I am absolutely in love with their beef vindaloo, the butter chicken samosas and the Gobhi 156. Even when I cook curry at home I usually stop in to pick up a few orders of their garlic naan! read more

My husband & I ordered from Namaste late one night because they were still open and offering delivery. We love Indian food but honestly didn't expect much, as my husband had already tried most of the Indian restaurants in Edmonton with a great deal of disappointment. We ordered the Butter Chicken and Lamb Vindaloo (Hot) with sides of Basil Garlic Naan, Jasmine rice and Coconut rice. It's difficult to even describe the true flavour, tenderness and authenticity of these dishes... Everything we ordered was so delicious, so amazing, so full of flavour and spice - we were absolutely amazed! We feel the need to mention that the Naan bread appeared to have been freshly baked (not the crap you might might get with many other places, like they bought it from a store, but truly fresh, baked in house, Naan bread)! The delivery was prompt and tidy - no saucy mess within the bag (which we have experienced with many other places). If you love (or even want to try) authentic Indian food, we highly recommend Namaste! We will absolutely order from here again and again! read more

I haven't tried a lot from namaste, but I always love their butter paneer, rice, and naan that I order from skip the dishes. It's so well priced and tastes amazing. My only complaint is that they use styrofoam for the rice which isn't great for the environment. read more

Ordered the butter chicken through foodora and it was $15. It didn't come with nan or rice. After calling the restaurant they informed me that rice and nan are extra.... How can you charge someone $15 for a bowl of butter chicken sauce.... Oodle Noodle is a few blocks away and they charge $12.99 for their butter chicken and it comes with rice and nan. read more

Dont order food for delivery! I ordered food through just-eat.ca. The website said, the food will be delivered in 45 min. I called the restaurant and they said it will be 1.5 hours as they were busy. I patiently waited and the food never came. Called again, and the owner ( or whoever picked up the phone) said, they cannot give me a time, they are just busy and asked me to cancel the order if I want to. One thing for sure - I'd certainly not order there again. Rude owner. read more

Never. again. as someone else posted, the food took an hour and a half to get to us, it was cold by the time it got here. The Chicken Korma was AWFUL. We've had it lots from other places and have never seen chicken korma like that before. Also we ordered the butter chicken samosas. They were TERRIBLE the "butter chicken" smothered simosa tasted nothing like butter chicken. We also thought they would be stuffed simosas like usual but they were regular beef samosas covered with "butter chicken" sauce. Anyway, we recommend you Namaste away from this place . ha! read more

The food here is probably the best Indian Food I have ever had. The flavours work so well. I'm vegetarian and the paneer dishes are all to die for. A must try! read more

We just ate here with our family - it is in a little strip mall off of 156 Street. Decor was nice and clean inside. Service was very good, everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back and I would strongly recommend Namaste. read more

The best Indian food in the area, and super friendly and helpful staff. Loved the ambiance of the old 156street location but the new location on stony plain road is definitely an upgrade! And having buffet now too is awesome when u don't feel like make a decision lol, have it all! Great chai too!! read more

Simply outstanding - food, service, value for money. Our "go to" Indian restaurant in the west end. In a kind of down at heels location, but comfortable inside, easy pick up and delivery. Highly recommended. read more

Good place to get south Indian food and i think its good to order what they specialize in . The masala dosa is my favorite choice. Nice people and nice service ! read more

Forgot items from my order and it was such a hassle trying to get a refund from them or Skip the Dishes, I gave up. It's a shame because the food we got was good, just lack of customer service. Won't be buying from here again. read more

This is my friends and I favourite Indian food in the city! Fresh and delicious. Friendly staff & good prices.
