Before going inside for the first time I could tell this was a good restaurant based on the full restaurant parking lot. The second sign of a great restaurant is the time it takes to make a food choice as everything looks so good. We thoroughly enjoyed the spicy lamb tikki masala over brown rice wrapped in garlic naan. The cucumber salad was very good too. Service was top notch. read more

10 stars! It was a delicious, satisfying meal with welcoming and zen ambience. I had the non-vegetarian thali- so worth it!! You have a choice of basmati or brown rice, lamb or chicken curry and it comes with a naan, mustard green (my favorite since I was a kid!) and my favorite too :) rice pudding. The portion was enough for make you want o get a pillow and zzzzzzz- so happy :) my tummy and me. Juan ordered rice and chicken curry, oh so delicious. Both curries were medium heat, just the right amount of heat as we requested. To wash it down I had masala chai- oh yeah, a must. Go here, you won't be disappointed. Fresh food and delicious. Don't forget to spin the wheel and say a prayer :) Thank you Namaste Kitchen! It was a fabulous first stop to begin my pre-birthday weekend. read more

I thought I had good Indian/Himalayan food...until I went to Namaste. Compared to Namaste, every other place pales in comparison. I've been a patron of this place for a year now and it's consistently delicious with high quality food and excellent service both in person and take away. Of note, the lam is always tender, which is hard to do, and the spice is always giving!! I like spicy and they don't hold back when requested!! The last time I had spicy like this was in the country of Bhutan!! I LOOOOOVE their samosas (flavorful potatos wrapped in a flakey crust coated in fine salt is out of this world), Baigan Bhartha (tender spicy eggplant), chicken apricot (I dig sweet and savory with a kick), vegetable curry and lamb tikka masala. Sometimes I go for medium spice and other times extra spicy. I'm a person who tends to order something different to taste the menu but it's been hard to do when they make the first thing you order epic! Truly this is a wonderful restaurant, dine in or take out and so worth the trip every time. Warning: will ruin other restaurants for you they're that good! Forever a patron. read more

Recommended ! Have been a consistent customer here for years. Am particularly fond of the mango lasi And a mixed veggie mild curry with pumpkin and tofu. Served with a side of nan See you there Metta j read more

My friend took me to Namaste for lunch! What a delight it was. It's a small casual restaurant located in Sebastopol. The food was absolutely delicious! Fresh, organic ingredients. Bright and vibrant vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly. I've never experienced a crispy Naan but it was some of the best Naan I've ever had. The cucumber salad was fresh and delicious- I could eat it everyday (cucumber, avocado, basil). The chicken korma was cooked perfectly- mild and tasty. My friend enjoyed her lamb curry. We ordered jasmine rice (cooked perfectly). The service was excellent! Everyone on the team was friendly and hospitable. They have a small parking lot and there's additional parking on the street. They have a few tables outside, primary seating inside. I highly recommend Namaste! Try it, you'll be glad you did! read more

My favorite spot when I'm craving a warm curry or tikka masala. They have the best sauces, too! Highly recommend. Great spot for dining in or for takeout. The restaurant is warm and inviting, and the service is always great, too. read more

Service was great, they were very attentive. We were starving so i almost forgot to take pictures. But the food was good overall. We got butter chicken, tandoori green chicken boti combo with salmon tandoori, coco curry veggies and garlic naan. We also got a plane basmati ride and a saffron rice; it was way too much rice overall for three people. The green chicken boti from the tandoori oven was my favorite, really yummy with herbs smashed into it. The salmon was fresh but not as smoky toasty as i wanted it to be, and the onion pepper that comes on the sizzling pan with tandoori were plentiful but not charred enough on the cast iron (i like a little charring). The butter chicken was rich, highly flavored and satisfying. The coco curry veggies were just ok. Veggies were fresh but coco sauce just a little too simplistic and coconutty for me; it was my least favorite for the sauce. They start you off with tasty crisp papadum crackers and a sweet tamarind sauce. We asked for mint spicy sauce and we got some; very tasty and homemade. It was a nice mint sauce and definitely not too thin or watered down like I've had in some places that seemed to be trying to make their food more palatable to folks who can't handle flavor n spice. But no this was tasty. Indian restaurants should keep it authentic! The garlic naan was a nice thin style that made it get perfectly crisp on edges, but softer inside. My mom had a tasty glass of Sauvignon blanc; I'm pretty sure it was from New Zealand with its zesty tropical passionfruit/ grapefruit nuances. We like things spicy but still want to taste other flavors, and ordered everything medium hot which seemed to be perfect. read more

We've been here twice and both times have been delicious. The staff is so sweet, the portions seem small but actually fill you up so fast (and we can eat!).. We've tried the butter chicken, chicken apricot, lamb momo, all the tandoori dishes, and the chicken boti. The tulsi naan was so flavorful and such a good match the all the dishes. All and all, we are so stoked to have such an amazing restaurant so close to our place! read more

I was not impressed for a $60 lunch and we shared 1 appetizer and 1 entree. Stomach ache afterwords. Lamb was tough and smothered in paprika and not flavorful. Fried app was real mushy inside,it was ok. Service was slow,did not explain anything about menu and when we asked he gave the wrong info. Sebastopol really has no good restaraunt's. read more

I placed an order and waited over an hour just to arrive and have them tell me my order was never received by the kitchen because of a printing issue and they never apologized to me or made up for this in any way. read more

BRILLIANT, FLAVORFUL, DELICIOUSNESS! I wake up craving the kale pakora here, and I have even tried to duplicate it at home. The food here is perfection! It's also extremely vegetarian and vegan friendly. I only wish they would make that green sauce vegan style! So good--you cannot go wrong here as this place is one of Sebastopol's culinary jewels. Also, I will add that it's excellent for carryout too. read more

My first time visit and I couldn't have been more pleased. We ordered the namaste lamb curry medium and countered it with the cabbage and peas mild to counter the spiciness of the lamb. It was a perfect combination and each delightfully different taste from the usual Indian food. We ended with the homemade mango ice cream which was quite delicious. This will be our go to Indian restaurant whenever we are in Sebastopol! read more

The food is very good. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The serving staff are very helpful in making suggestions. Can't ask for more. Our place to go for Indian cuisine. read more

Delicious food, prompt and polite service, will return. Pleasant ambiance. May eat outside next time.

Good selection, good sauces Onion kulcha is good. I had all vegetarian options and there were plenty!

Excellent Indian food, as usual, provided by Nepali/Tibetan establishment. We sat outside on the covered patio (currently Covid is surging) and enjoyed it. Service was good, the food quite good, with interesting Tibetan and Nepali twists on standard Indian fare. We'll definitely return again soon! Recommended. read more

Wow, never been here before and so glad we stumbled on it tonight!!! The Lamb Korma was soooooo delicious. I already want more. Can't wait to come back. read more

Finally had the chance to visit. I was with vegans so it wasn't the whole experience for me. Place is nice and busy. We ordered anything vegan. I love things super spicy but guests can't handle it, so everything was set to low. The food was good. I didn't go home with a woody, but will try again alone next time. This way I can try the meat dishes with spicy set to kill. read more

So delicious! Our absolutely favorite Indian food in Sebastopol! Everything we've tried is delicious.

We were passing by on our way up to Anchor Bay. Food was delicious and their service was great. We will be back!

Was craving for eggplant and the baigan barta was more of a peas dish. Eating the star anise (I think) or some spice just turned me off to eating the whole order. Chicken vindaloo was decent and the naan was good, wish the roti was thinner. read more

We go here almost 2 times in a month. We love it that much. Food is always consistent, servers are great, atmosphere cozy and prices are decent. So much love and flavor goes into everything here even the simple sides of rice are colorful and flavorful. read more

I had ordered take out from this local restaurant as I recoup from surgery. I have been wanting to try them out for years, then the pandemic stalled that. I ordered the chicken pumpkin curry with garlic naan and a salad. The curry was very flavourful and the spices were much more intense than regular Himalayan curry that I've had before. I understand that the intensity is due to the dish being southern Indian from a friend. I will have to come back when I can sit and enjoy more dishes from this local restaurant. I recommend this place if you want some delicious food that is different from the traditional Indian cuisine. Bon appetit! read more

Made a Saturday evening trip to Sebastopol for dinner at Namaste. Walked in at reserved time and were immediately seated. The tables were full otherwise. The restaurant has a very small wine list, modestly priced, but with nice selections, albeit without vintage year. We chose a 2018 Navarro Vineyards Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley Mendocino to accompany our dinner choices. When we go to an Indian Restaurant, we always share so we order four or five dishes, knowing we will have leftovers for the next day. This evening we started with potato and pea Samosas, then picked 5 dishes to share: Namaste Fish Curry with salmon, Mattar Paneer with peas and Indian cottage cheese, Baingan Bharta eggplant curry, Malai Kofta, Dal Makhani curry, and Garlic Naan and brown rice. Everything and we will enjoy our leftovers. read more

I recently had dinner here after being a customer for years. Food and service was great as always. What was not great about my experience was being price gouged on rice which used to come with the entree. Additionally, they now charge for refills of fountain drinks. I had iced tea which by the way tasted like it was made from hard water rich in sulfur. It had a swamp water taste to it. When I brought up my objection to charging for refills I was told they brew it themselves. There is no way this was fresh brewed the way it tasted. This was fountain iced tea and I am embarrassed I asked for a refill in the first place. From the appearance of the empty dining room they have alienated their loyal customers who Namaste regards as fat pigs to stick knives in. As for me I won't be back. The taste of a bad deal lasts much longer than the meal itself. read more

Very delicious! Tried their chicken korma with medium spice and garlic naan Korma was flavorful and just what I was hoping for and chicken very tender. Perfectly flavored garlic naan. read more

Food is good, service from the server is ok. But the policy of charging top dollar for small portions of food and the on top of that charging for rice, and refills of tea. Is unacceptable. The food is not THAT good. There a three South Asian style restaurants in Sebastopol and many more in Santa Rosa I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Really good food and quick service I'll definitely return. The ambiance was good. I'm read more

I actually shed a tear when they closed their Pennegrove location..going there for dinner was such a part of my routine at the end of a long commute home from work. I was so relieved to know I could still enjoy their authentic curries & be around the warm energy the family shares in their eating establishment. My favorite dishes here are Malai Kofta, Lamb Korma & Onion Kulcha. They have Covid precautions down really well if you go in for takeout. read more

Very friendly service. Excellent food. Arrive early to avoid a wait. Really nice ambience. Excellent wine choices, too.

It's an improvement on Marigold. Shortly after they opened, I dropped by to try one of the lunch specials which consist of: main dish, rice, naan, two vegetable pakoras with chutneys, and dal soup. For my main dish, I chose coconut vegetable korma. Flavors were pleasant and veggies were well-cooked. My only gripe--and this is one of the main problems with local Indian/Nepalese places--is that, although I had ordered it medium spicy, there was no heat whatsoever. Even the physical temperature was lower than it should have been. Veggie pakoras were on the small side, but fresh and tasty. I love that they include them with lunch specials. Chutneys were spot on. I was pretty disappointed in the naan that came on my plate; it was dry and in an exceedingly small portion. There was also an odd aftertaste... like it had been dusted in some unknown spice. Since the bread is one of my favorite parts of any meal, I promptly requested an extra order of butter naan. I'm glad I did because it was a huge improvement on the other stuff--large, fluffy, buttery, and no mysterious spice component. I suspect the first naan was the vegan option. Kudos for including it on the menu, but it wasn't for me. My server was personable and helpful--a huge upgrade from those who worked at Marigold. Prices, also, are very fair. Overall, not a bad experience, but not great either. They're still new, though, so I may give them another shot in a few months. read more

I have been ordering here for the last 3 years. The food seems to be getting yummier! The last several times we've ordered the food was absolutely delicious and fresh, the indoor atmosphere is a treat, and the staff has gotten a lot nicer. It's a place I crave now. The potstickers are amazing, so is the Tikka! Great fresh naan read more

Picked up takeout tonight for dinner with friends who don't consider themselves real fans of Indian type food. We shared chicken tandoori, saag paneer, coconut curry, momos, samosas, jasmine rice, raita, and onion kulcha. My friends couldn't get over how delicious and beautifully prepared everything was. For example, the tandoori included broccoli, cauliflower, and onions from the tandoori oven. Portions were generous and packed in compostable containers. Ignore the mean spirited reviews. Restaurants are having a very rough go of it. We need to support small businesses like Namaste Kitchen that are making a real effort to keep the quality of their food high and prices reasonable in very challenging times. Thank you to the owners and staff for hanging in and feeding us so well. read more

The food was ok but did not feel good quality. The service was mediocre too but owner was a bit rude.
