I visited Namaste Indian Cuisine on California Ave with colleagues, and it was a really pleasant experience. I ordered the Saag Paneer Thali, which included perfectly seasoned saag with cubes of soft paneer, dal, rice, naan, salad, and a little dessert , everything felt well-balanced and authentically cooked.
To start, we had the Stuffed Mushrooms, the mushrooms were juicy and generously filled with a spiced, cheesy mixture that paired nicely with the mint chutney. We also tried the Corn Malai Tikki, which had a creamy, slightly sweet corn filling with a mild spice and crisp exterior delicious and light, yet satisfying.
The staff was friendly and attentive, the ambiance calm but lively, and the overall meal felt like a really nice, mid-priced lunch spot. Would definitely come back for the thali and appetizers.

Great spot to have a good lunch with colleagues. We sat outside on a beautiful afternoon.
The air was crisp and the service was warm. The menu is what you’d expect from a typical Indian restaurant – I went in for a lunch-friendly thali.
It proved to be more than a lunch. The dal, curry and nan were delicious, so I took leftovers home. Lassi hit the spot.
We had two appetizers – both were elegantly made, amazingly presented and very shareable.

So we had dal makhani, shahi paneer and garlic naan. It was served with rice.
The best part honestly was the service though. Have not seen such a busy restaurant with such good service.
Garlic naan was so nice. Lovely.
Rice was nice too.
The gravies were way too spicy for us but don’t blame them for it though haha.
Specially recommend the dal makhani.
Did not like the texture of paneer though.

Tried this Indian restaurant and overall had a solid experience. The food was flavorful, well-spiced, and satisfying. Some dishes stood out more than others, but everything was well-executed and comforting.
Service was a highlight—waiters were fast, friendly, and very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. This place is popular, though, so reservations are a good idea, especially during peak hours.
The setting was warm and inviting, though it can get a bit crowded due to its popularity. Prices are reasonable for the quality, making it a great spot for a solid Indian meal. Would definitely come back, but next time, I’ll make sure to book ahead!

Pretty good food. Went there at about 11.45am on a Saturday and we seemed to be the first ones there. The service was pretty quick. The food was served hot and fresh. Malai kofta was very good. Quantity did seem a bit less though. Paneer was soft and tasted really good.

Visited for dinner.
It’s a popular place, but we managed to get a table for two without any booking.
We ordered shrimp vindaloo (with rice), roti, tandoori chicken everything was good.
Regarding spice level, we went for medium spicy but it wasn’t spicy at all. So if you are an Indian go for spicy not medium.
Food was really good though. Service was also very good. The ambience was nice. They had lovely instrumental music playing too

Went to this place for dinner. Tried palak paneer, paneer shashlik and samosas. Everything was really good. The food was delicious and freshly made. People here are really sweet as well.

Namaste Indian Cuisine in Palo Alto is, without a doubt, one of the best Indian restaurants in the Bay Area—easily making my top three! From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the restaurant’s warm, moody ambiance, beautifully adorned with gold-plated water vases, intricate artwork, and a cozy yet upscale feel. It’s the kind of place that invites you to settle in and enjoy a truly authentic experience.
Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal. We ordered the Lamb Vindaloo, Vegetable Biryani, Aloo Gobi, and the Meat Platter, and every dish delivered bold, vibrant flavors that rang true to traditional Indian cuisine. The Lamb Vindaloo was rich and spicy, with tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. The Vegetable Biryani was fragrant, fluffy, and packed with a perfect blend of spices. The Aloo Gobi was a beautiful balance of textures, and the Meat Platter was a carnivore’s dream—each piece cooked to perfection, juicy, and incredibly flavorful.
The service was just as impressive as the food—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed while still allowing us to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace.
Namaste Indian Cuisine is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors in a beautiful setting with top-notch service. This spot has set the bar high, and I can’t wait to return!

Very nice cozy place in the heart of Palo Alto downtown with outdoor seating. Service was good. I ordered the Lasooni Chicken tikka which was good and as big a a meal. Topped it with Biryani which was very good with a lot of fried onions and good portions of chicken. The chai was pretty good as well

Delightful Indian restaurant run by a very friendly & welcoming Nepalese family. Both the starters and entree were excellent. Be aware, order the properly spiced curries instead of mildly spiced. The latter disappoints.
Service is not rushed at all. Plenty of free public parking around the spot. Even on a peak evening weekend, wait time was just 20 minutes.
