I admit I was skeptical about this restaurant, as it seemed a little too ‘nice’ and polished a departure from all of my crazy-good Indian food experiences. Meaning they have normally been in hole-in-the-wall cheapo places(Shalimar, Polk St., San Francisco, I am looking at you… longingly hahaha). But this place is nice, super clean, pricier than I am used to paying for Indian… though the service is a bit awkward. ANYHOW. I DIED from the magic unicorn tandoori!!! We went back two nights in a row it was so good. And I normally do not rave about vegetables, but the red pepper, cauliflower, onion tandoori was so freaking good, I still have cravings for it months later. Perfectly charred and ohhhhhhhhhh… And apparently the chef is some kind of ‘Curry Award’ winner haha. Not sure if that is some kind of paid marketing thing, but if his curry is anywhere near as good as the tandoori, then I believe he is authentically deserving. KILLER.

Went to Namaste with a group of 7 on a Sunday eve… they accomodated us without a rez, no problem as well as our food allergies and special request for onion kulcha which was not on the menu. The location is an easy walk from camden lock, the décor is cool and stylish. The menu is vast and includes lots of veggie options. What we loved best was the spices… the chef has a real deft hand. Too often dishes in Indian restaurants taste similar, but the small plates we ordered had incredible variety. We especially loved the lamb biryani. The pries were a bit steep for such small plates but were worth every bite. A real gem!

Walking into Namaste is like walking into an Arabian dream. There are brightly coloured robes, lampshades, cushions, bags etc… Trust me the list goes on and on. Anything remotely linked to interior designed holistic living and spiritualism, you are likely to find. The great thing about Namaste is the price. Everything is very affordable. If you ever want to build yourself that relaxing boudoir without breaking the bank this is the place to go.
