At Namaste you feel at home. Service is friendly and formal. The menu is loaded with Classic Indian dishes. Sipping on an herbal tea with a plate of curry chiken and a side of basmati rice is my happy place. Don’t forget about the garlic Naan. And the Eggplant biryani goes hard in the paint! Can’t wait to find myself at Namaste again.

This is my favorite spot to go to in Monterey! If you’re looking for authentic Indian food, this is the place to go! The food here is so delicious and they are very friendly here. The chicken is so tender it melts in your mouth and the curries are so delicious. 10/10

Tandoori chicken salad. Awesome flavors. Try this dish. It should be their top seller.
Goat cheese kebab- yum
Garlic naan- turmeric lime rice to complement.
I’d pay more for salmon chicken tandoor salad, but only chicken is fine. Very flavorful with goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, grapes beets and lovely dressing.

Namaste India Bistro is a great place to dine in with family and kids. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. All the food is fresh and flavorful, especially the fruits and side dishes, which taste homemade. The customer service is consistently good, even during busy times. It gets especially crowded on Saturday and Sunday evenings, which adds to the lively vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic food and a family-friendly environment!

The buffet had a good variety of vegetarian options and the naan server were soft and fresh. The best part was it was less than a mile from the aquarium

Since I haven’t received a credit for 4 naans I paid for and didn’t receive for a pick up order on Tuesday night, I’m going to do an honest unbiased review. I’m an unbiased fair person. We were upset that we didn’t receive our naan as we’re all busy people and it was one of the two things my son asked for after a 12 hour shift. He doesn’t ask for much. We got four orders because it always gets eaten before I get any. We were coming home from a long trip and just wanted to go home unpacked and get ready for work the next day. We didn’t want to spend more time driving back and forth to get the naan. They didn’t offer to bring it to us we did ask. I patiently waited to see a credit on my card I paid with. Still not there. Do I really have to spend my time calling and talking on the phone? Many businesses can issue the credit. 4 naan plus tax please. But also the food wasn’t as wonderful as I remember. New chef or owner or just a bad night? It was busy. The lamb Barriana had big dry tough chunks of lamb. The chicken tiki Marsala was also dry. The butter chicken was very red in color. Those two tasted very similar and unspectacular as was the lamb. They changed the interior to a light place removing lots of the authentic decor. I preferred the darker decor

This restaurant offers a buffet during lunchtime. We visited this place for dinner. The food is good, but the naan could have been a little bit softer. The dishes are a little overpriced. But the overall service and the ambiance were good. Very difficult to find parking.

Quite literally some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! The fresh ingredients, vibrant spices and delightful service makes this restaurant one of my favorite go-to spots for a meal that leaves me feeling cozy and warmed up. If you haven’t been to Namaste, make it your next lunch or dinner destination.

My Dearest Foodies and Fellow Desi Folks,
Lemme tell you, I just had the most mind-blowing, soul-satisfying lamb biryani from Namaste India Bistro, and I had to spill the chai about it. I got it for takeout, and let me tell you, that aroma alone almost made me swerve off the road. Seriously, if you’re ever having a rough day, or even a great day that could be made better with food, this biryani is your answer.
From the first spoonful, it was pure magic. The rice was cooked to perfection – fluffy, separate grains, each one singing with flavor. And the lamb? Oh my god, the lamb! It was so tender, it practically melted in my mouth like butter on a hot paratha. No chewy bits, no struggle, just pure, unadulterated meaty goodness. You know how sometimes you get biryani and it’s all dry and sad? Not this one. This was juicy, flavorful, and had that perfect balance of spices that makes you close your eyes and do a little happy dance.
It wasn’t just spicy for the sake of being spicy; it was a symphony of flavors that reminded me of my Nani’s cooking – that perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and a little kick that wakes up your taste buds. I’m telling you, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill biryani. This is the kind of biryani that makes you want to call your mom and tell her about it, even if she lives halfway across the world.
So, if you’re in the mood for some authentic, finger-licking good Indian food, especially if you’re craving some biryani that hits all the right notes, do yourself a favor and get it from Namaste India Bistro. Trust me on this one, your taste buds will thank you. I’m already planning my next takeout order!
