    When I got inside I found out it was a buffet. I got there at 1:30 PM & some of the food was cold. There was no menu describing the food. The mango lassi was good. I feel there's no reason for me to return.

    Kerala Parotta
    Abhishek B.

    We are smitten by Kerala Parotta and when our friend suggested us that there's a new Kerala themed restaurant in town, we were determined to try it out. Namaste India Palace is near Midlothian -- far from the hustle and bustle of Richmond. There's decent amount of parking out front. The decor and cutlery all looked new (presumably because it's only been a couple of months since the place opened). The menu is broad and consists of the usual set of items that you'll find at other indian places. The standout however is a complete page dedicated to dishes from Kerala. There was a decent selection of vegetarian items as well. We ended up ordering the Paneer Butter Masala on the recommendation of the server. The food was overall delicious - especially the breads. Paneer was decent, the only criticism being the excessive use of color. Overall, a nice place to try out.

    Butter Chicken
    Laura J.

    If you are in a rush, order ahead for take out! Service is slow! Very nice restaurant. Only has 9 tables of 4 per tables. Very friendly employees! Highly recommend the Tandori chicken and Butter Chicken. Delicious!

    Butter Naan

    We always love eating here. The food is delicious and staff is very friendly. Highly recommend!

    Kizhi Porotta- Beef and Shaappile Meen Curry

    My husband and I wanted to grab some food while we're doing a quick trip to RVA and saw this Indian restaurant near by. I am from Kerala and have been craving fish curry so seeing this on the menu was exciting. Service: service was incredibly slow. We weren't checked in on or just brought waters for over 30 min after we'd been seated. I feel like bringing waters at the very least should be fast but it took a while and they attended to everyone else multiple times before even coming to us. My husband had to get up to go get the check because they were being slow to attend to us. Menu: menu did have a variety of North Indian and South Indian/Kerala dishes, which is newer than what I'm used to since most Indian restaurants have North Indian style dishes. They have classic curries like korma and butter chicken for those who prefer that but decently extensive Kerala style menu for those who are interested to explore. Food: we ordered soda lime drink, kizhi porotta beef, shaappile meen curry, and extra order of porotta. Soda lime drink: 8/10, what you'd get in Kerala in a little side shop or bakery Kizhi porotta: 9/10 flavor was amazing, the sweetness from the onions comes through with the spices and curry leaves, maybe more beef pieces would be needed, could be very satisfied with buying that Shaappile meen curry: 5/10, don't get me wrong, the flavor profile is right, it's how you'd expect a malayalee to make fish curry. What wasn't good is that we received 4 small pieces of fish. For the price of the dish, it is not worth. It's more disappointing because that was something I had been craving to have and to pay the amount we did for the protein portion size is not an equitable trade off. I might come back if I'm in the area if I really miss the flavors of home but definitely the portion size was disappointing so not sure if I'd be as inclined.

    The greatest roast ever.

It was rather empty. Our group of 6 plus four others, which means FAST ROTATION . The karaoke DJ was cool. The sound system is nice! Good mics, speakers, and song arrangements. He had a huge vault of songs... everything I asked for, he had. Some of which are not as popular as others. AND the best part, he could change the pitch to accommodate my vocal range. Some of my favorite songs are a bit too high, and I had to ask for two of them to be brought down 1/2 step. Songs ranged from 50s to current. Enjoyable singers all around and everyone was fun to watch. I got a glass of their tempranillo, which was perfection. Full bodied, super dry and delicious. I also got a pizza, which is kind of a personal size. Very thin. Good, but not great. Decor is nice. Newly renovated with mostly tables all on the same level, but also a couch area next to the TV, and about three bar seats. Plenty of room to spread out. The only thing keeping Gramophone from 5 stars is the lack of food options. Hope they're able to add some simple staples like burgers and fries or salads. Convenient location right on the corner of Forest Hill and Westover Hills Blvd. I'll definitely come back for karaoke and wine!

    There were six of us looking for a fun night out and decided on The Wine Whisperer since it had…read moregreat reviews, had been on my list to try, and none of us had been before. What a great decision! When you walk in, you immediately notice that all of the wines are beautifully displayed -- it doubles as a wine shop, which gives it such a warm and welcoming vibe. It feels cozy but elevated at the same time. They don't offer flights for groups larger than five, but we were able to order one dealer's choice flight based on our preferred flavor profiles. From there, we could select a bottle inspired by the flight. A few of us gravitated toward reds. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable -- we told her the flavor profiles we liked, and she brought out three reds to try. The Wade & Wayfarer Pinot Noir was our favorite (so good!), though a bit pricier. We also tried the Alkoorai Cab/Merlot blend, which ended up being our least favorite. Ultimately, we chose the Denner Nightshade GSM -- excellent pick. Bonus tip: if you purchase a bottle $50 or more, there's no corkage fee; under $50, there is. Our waitress also mentioned that South American Merlots are the best Merlots as we all mentioned Merlot tends to be more dry. A few in our group ordered the Masterpiece Theatre cocktail on our waitress's recommendation -- she did not steer us wrong! Food-wise, everything was a hit. Our friends ordered the Cacio e Pepe burrata, pickled shrimp, Caesar salad, mushroom and leek flatbread, and the Brie and pear flatbread (both flatbreads were huge!). They loved every dish. My husband and I shared the bread with olive oil (simple and delicious), the charred octopus (tender with amazing flavor), gnocchi Bolognese, and lamb chops. Everything was fantastic -- the only small note was that the lamb could've been a bit more rare -- but still very flavorful. By the end of the night, all six of us agreed we'd absolutely be back. We're even looking into their wine club -- $60/month for two bottles (pickup required at the shop), which honestly sounds like a great deal. Apparently, they change up their wine flights weekly, which makes it even more fun and gives us a reason to return. Such a great experience all around -- can't wait to go back and try more wines!

They like what they are doing. It's in a strip mall parking lot so parking is pretty easy; if it's crowded, you might not be able to park right in front of the restaurant but there's still plenty of parking. We chose flights of wine to start out and really enjoyed each of the three we picked. For appetizers we got the pumpkin hummus and the Muhammara which is a roasted red pepper and walnut dip with toasted pita. My friends enjoyed their hummus, and my husband, and I thought the pepper and walnut dip were out of this world. We wanted more for dinner. The pita was the perfect crispiness and accompaniment for the dip. Having had limp pita at another restaurant recently makes me especially locked in on this detail lol For mains we got the duck confit tacos, the gnocchi bolognese and the hippie chick salad with roasted salmon. My friend enjoyed her salad, but I forgot to ask how she liked the roasted salmon on top. It looked tasty and was something I was considering for next time. I got the duck confit tacos which were definitely different from your standard fare and had a nice kick to it without being overwhelming. On my first bite I thought it was gonna be too spicy, but the heat did not build to unbearable. Still not sure I'm a fan of duck, but it was done very well and I wasn't disappointed. My husband's gnocchi Bolognese was done perfectly. I was shocked how light and pillowy the gnocchi were and loved the Bolognese, which was the perfect amount of savory without being too rich; elevated comfort food for sure . We were too full from dinner to order dessert which kept our bill down to a little over one Benji for drinks, one appetizer and two beans, , which is pretty typical for a nice meal out these days. I do miss the days when you could go out for $30-$45 a person even with a shared appetizer and drinks but WW is more on the reasonable side compared to most. We will definitely be back though and Iwoll be investigating the private room option for a milestone birthday or anniversary. Well done WW!

Once we were finally seated, our table still hadn't been cleaned and someone had to come wipe it down afterward, which made the wait even more frustrating. No one acknowledged the birthday at all, which honestly makes me question why they even ask about special occasions during the reservation process. The food was also very disappointing, especially the fried oysters and steamed mussels, which had a strong odor that smelled like a dirty sink. I also ordered a diet soda that was completely flat. Between the food quality and drinks, the experience just kept getting worse. On top of that, the service was slow and inattentive throughout. Overall, the experience felt unorganized, unwelcoming, and far below expectations. Will not be returning.
