This place is amazing. The best Indian food I've ever tasted and one of the best tasting restaurants in town. The

Maybe its just me, but everything about this place feels like just enough... except for the generous portions of curry. Lets start with the interior which also includes an outdoor dinning space. Its got pretty cool styling that is still simple and doesnt go over the top. Id say its just enough to be a nice restaraunt. Its also clean, but not too clean and neat. A very comfy vibe for the average dining experience. Maybe not so much for a fancy date night. Now for the food. Or maybe the menu. Its got just enough options to make the average customer happy. Some place may offer more option and even more exotic options, but this place has the basics and a few more. The curry dishes come in mild medium or spicy. Some places give you 5 different stars, and some don't even give an option, but this place has just enough spice options. Lets not forget about the portions. They give you a small serving of rice so be ready to order several orders of it. Like 2 or 3 extra per dish. Last the service. My experience with the service was also just enough. They were there when I needed them. Pretty standard service. Overall I feel like I got my monies worth and would recommend this place to others. Not for anything fancy, but for your every day average lunch or dinner. Family will appreciate this place. read more

Let me start off by the star of the show being the unbelievably good flavors of the food. I had the garlic naan and the buttered chicken. Both were sublime in their own respective was but together they made the perfect combo. Very very good food, especially in Tyler which sometimes doesn't have the best spots for food. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to catch a chill lunch or dinner and want to mix it up a bit. read more

I've had authentic Indian food from past experiences and was blown away at how similar this place is. Honestly, in my decades of being privileged with it, I was happily surprised and my palate very pleased. They meticulously season everything well but you cannot sleep on their naan bread!! Gotta try their naan! There is nothing I've tried that has disappointed me yet. Seating is plenty & space is open concept. They accommodate for any size group. Friendly service & always check up on us at just the right times without overdoing it. We're regulars and will continue to be. read more

Great food and more than I could eat in one meal staff was polite and attentive over all good experience

Tried the chicken 65 biryani and garlic butter naan. Delicious! Service was on point, friendly. Atmosphere was full of color and vibrant. I didn't know the servings would be so large. We had a few to go boxes. My husband had the vindaloo and he liked it too. We will definitely be back! read more

Namaste - Chicken 65 biryani with garlic butter naan bread - Indian Near Me - Tyler, Texas

I was very hopeful as this was my first try with Namaste; unfortunately I was disappointed with my takeout order. I hoped for complex flavors. Mostly I got a single musical note, spicy hot. I ordered the Tikka Masala and the Namaste Chicken. You don't get much naan. You do get a lot of rice. read more

Newer place in Tylers mid-town area, great vibe and indoor and outdoor seating. Made to order dishes in veg and meat offerings. Get it mild or vinderloo hot..... read more

We ate lunch at Namaste today. Most of the food we ordered was disappointing. The vegetable samosa was good, but the chicken 65 appetizer was extremely dry. The chicken tikka masala had a sweet taste which was strange. The worst dish was the chana masala. It wasn't very flavorful and was way overcooked to the point the chickpeas were mush. We won't be back. On the plus side the service was good. read more

This place is small and unsuspecting. It's a cute little nook on Broadway toward downtown. And man is it good. Greeted immediately by staff. Drinks were served quickly and food followed a little bit later. I had the chicken korma and it was DELISH! We each got garlic naan but it would have been enough to share. Keep in mind you could also get an app and one curry dish and share. It's sooooooo good and tasty. Goooooo! read more

The food was absolutely food! They Authentic Indian flavors! Missing aloo paratha but beggars can't be choosers. They also had Awesome service! We will be back for sure!!! read more

Always excited to try new places in Tyler. Overall, great new spot! The decorations and vibes are cute. I don't recommend ordering the chili chicken but the gravy for the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala were delicious. They actually had the desired spicy level we wanted. The naan was a little dry and cold. The service was great, they just opened so give them some grace. They do have outdoor seating but doesn't look too comfy and there are no umbrellas or fans to help beat the upcoming summer heat. read more

Went to Namaste twice and food was really good both times! Haven't had authentic Indian food in many years so finding this place was awesome. Had to wait for the booth to be cleaned before being able to sit so cleanliness could have been better. Service was fine at first but I had to go up and ask for the check and to go boxes since they didn't come back to check in on us. Service could use some work but will still go back just because the food is good. read more

A good friend took me there last week and I love the place. I'm assuming the owners were the ones serving us and they were helpful, considering I'm new to Indian food. Food was incredible and we will definitely be back. read more

Ate here for the first time today, and the food was PHENOMENAL! Our server was super kind and helpful. And the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The portions are more than generous! I got so much food I'll have to ask about doing a half order next time! I will 100% be back! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

I got the chicken vindaloo, small side of mint chutney, and chicken korma with the Mango Lassi drink. Everything was wonderful. Can't wait to go back to try some more wonderful food! read more

From the moment you step inside, the warm aromas of cumin, coriander, and freshly baked naan invite you into a world of rich flavors. The service is fantastic! The menu is a well-curated journey across India, offering everything from crispy onion bhaji and golden samosas--whose flaky pastry and perfectly spiced potato filling are impossible to resist--to classics like butter masala, chicken tikka, and fragrant biryani. Each dish is crafted with care, balancing layers of spice and subtlety. The chicken tikka masala arrives in a luscious tomato-cream sauce, the tandoori chicken is smoky and tender, and the saag paneer is a silky blend of spinach and soft cheese, seasoned just right. Even the simplest sides--garlic naan straight from the tandoor, and fluffy basmati rice--are elevated to memorable heights. The flavors are bold but never overwhelming, a testament to the kitchen's skill and respect for tradition. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, every bite tells a story--of ancient spices, family recipes, and the joy of sharing a meal. The service is attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, unforgettable dining experience. read more

I love Indian food. Unfortunately for me most Indian restaurants make food too spicy hot for me to really enjoy, even when they say it's mild! I have learned to cook a few Indian dishes so I can control the heat level. Well this place is different. I have been to Namaste now three times, and it has been amazing every time! They have the mild, medium, and hot options. I've asked for mild every time and it is truly mild. But the food doesn't lack any of the bold, complex flavors I love about Indian cuisine. I've had the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and the Namaste special chicken biryani. They were all wonderful. They use chicken breast and for the most part every thing was very tender and juicy, you can cut the pieces of chicken with a spoon. But in the butter chicken dish I had a few of the pieces of chicken were dry and a little tough. The rest was perfect and I haven't had any issues with the other dishes I've tried. Their basic dishes are served with basmati rice, which has been flaky and cooked to perfection. I have also tried the plain naan and the gulab jamun for dessert, both were great. The portion sizes are huge, plenty of food for two or for leftovers later. The atmosphere is very nice with Indian decor and music playing. The staff are very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this restaurant. This place has become my go to restaurant for eating out at lunch. read more

Food was super good, I got the butter chicken and garlic naan and DAMN; it slaps! the garlic naan is amazing as well; super fluffy and buttery. The service is decently fast, however it's a little pricey. overall worth it in my opinion. read more

Haven't written anything on Yelp in five or six years. So I'm writing this in hopes that our local new Indian restaurant is a hit. We've gone several years without a good one, Service = 5 stars. Ambience/cleanliness = 5 stars. Food 4 to 4.5 stars. The owners are very hospitable and offer to help with the menu if you're not familiar with Indian food. I was able to chat a bit with one of the owners and he said that the restaurant is driven by three sisters from India and that they specialize in food from the south part of India. Maybe you know what that means in terms of flavors north vs. south. I do not, I just know I like Indian food. The restaurant is bright and furnished with new tables and chairs. The food. The veggie biryani that my wife had was very good. She was very happy with it. I tried their house special curry, chicken, and after discussing the heat level, I decided on medium heat. My curry was flavorful as you expect with Indian cuisine, but the reason I did not give it a five is it was a tad salty. The heat level was what I expected. Hopefully they will see this review and go easier on the salt next time, or maybe this was a one off. Oh, and they make their mango lassi in house and it was fantastic. The portions are large. We took home enough for another meal.And we will be back, soon! read more

The food was excellent. We had samosa chat as an appetizer, chicken butter masala and chicken korma as entree's. We also had butter naan which was fantastic. The staff were friendly and our food came out quickly. We highly recommend it. read more

The good things were that the food was undoubtedly tasty, I didn't take pictures but I got butter chicken and buttery naan bread. Also the service was very friendly and attentive. Really it was great but I won't ever go back because my meal with tip cost 30 dollars. I have left overs which helps but that's just crazy expensive for chicken, rice and bread. read more

I've had it for take out and dine in and it was excellent both times! They have a small beer / wine menu which is nice to have that option.

It's very good. Chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. Lamb Bryani was also delicious. Will be back soon!

Love Indian food in Tyler! First time visit for us and we knew the restaurant had only been open a few weeks. We went in with lower expectations because of that. There is not a lot of seating so expect there to be a wait if it is busy. So, for the negative side....It seemed a bit hectic in the restaurant as it is new and they are obviously dialing in their processes. Of course, service was a little slow (We arrived at 6p on a Friday) and I did notice several mistakes with take out orders and our eat in order was not right. We ordered 2 naan, got 1 and were billed for 3 (We paid for one in the end). Seemed they were struggling with the wait list, which I don't think there actually was one. Disliked the bus cart coming in and out of the restaurant dining room. The space between the tables is not sufficient for that and no one likes to eat next to a dirty food cart. On the positive side.....staff is very friendly, the food is very tasty. I think with a little time under their belt all the negative stuff will get worked out. Indian food is not cheap, so expect to spend 100.00 for 2 if you order 3 dishes and some naan. (After tip.) We will definitely be back. Good luck to you! read more

We really enjoyed our dinner last night! It's awesome to have an authentic Indian restaurant here in Tyler. You can choose your spice level, which I appreciate. The food was all delicious and we will go back again soon! read more

The chicken Tikka Masala was too sweet for my taste. The Chana Masala had no flavor. The beans were good but the sauce needed help. The samosas were good. The Nan was okay. The service was good. We got there when several groups showed up and they got the food out quicker than I thought they would. We are happy there is an Indian restaurant in Tyler. They were very friendly. The decor was fine. read more
