Well there’s a reason this place has such rave reviews! Just a short uber from your hotel in Manuel Antonio or Quepo, the restaurant has a sweet light lined driveway that leads to an entrance walk covered in plants and beautiful lanterns and umbrellas. The space is open and gorgeous with fans and wonderful music. We were seated immediately overlooking the jungle and ordered pakora to start. The menu was large but easy to navigate, with many options for meat and vegetables. For our mains we ordered Chicken Kadai and Butter Chicken with basmati rice and plain and butter naan. The chicken was so tender and the gravies were so rich and savory. Perfect rice and naan. If you’re not too hungry you could share an entree but they’re very reasonably sized for one person. We also had the fresh lime drink which was so fresh and minty it was delicious! For dessert we were brought a wonderful iced mango with coconut flakes that was almost like eating a mango lassi. We highly recommend Namaste! You can dress up if you’d like to take photos but in general the dress ‘code’ is casual cute 🙂

The food here is fantastic! I honestly didn’t have too many expectations for Indian food in Costa Rica but everything was authentic! The chefs apparently emigrated from India. We had the eggplant (baingan) the coconut curry, the lamb vindaloo and the tikka masala dish. The fish was personally difficult for me to eat because it wasn’t deboned. However everything was delicious. The vindaloo was super spicy. Chicken coconut curry was my favorite! The non alcoholic drinks were delicious too
Not to mention we were treated to a beautiful sunset!
10/10 would recommend

Everything was filled with flavor & the presentation was beautiful! Atmosphere is very chill & laid back.

The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was exceptionally attentive and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We started with appetizers and then ordered the Dal Makhani and Kadai Paneer, both were outstanding, full of rich flavors and perfectly prepared.
It’s a busy spot, which is no surprise given how good the food is. If you truly love great Indian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

This is Indian Soulfood Heaven! On our journeys we tried a lot of Indian restaurants. This is by far one of the best we’ve ever been to! The service is very professional and speaks perfectly English, too. We were asked about how spicy we wish our food to be, which was very attentive. The food itself was excellent and and a delicious flavour explosion! I had the Saag Paneer and my partner the Chicken Tikka Masala. The Mango Juice was freshly made and styed cool in the cups served. The dessert we took was the plate with all the desserts available – so delicious! We will come back here and can absolutely highly recommend this great place. You can also see the ocean a little bit. The restaurant is located a bit away from the Main Street, which is really nice. It is upstairs – the stairs to Soulfood Heaven!

Fantastic afternoon dinner experience at Namaste! I had the butter chicken and my partner had the Red Snapper as well as garlic Naan, Roti and basmati rice. Everything tasted amazing, probably the best Indian food we’ve ever had, and in Costa Rica no less. We also had an iguana come by while we were enjoying the sunset views. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Costa Rica! Pura Vida! Namaste!

A delightful meal on our first night in Manuel Antonio. As a vegetarian British Indian, I was looking for a meal suitable for vegetarians with some real spice. They offer different levels of spice and make the food to your taste. The service was excellent and our waiter even made us a cup of masala tea after dinner when we asked. We enjoyed the masala papad, samosa chaat, rajma rasili, paneer tikka masala, garlic naan and jeera pilau. Highly recommend for an enjoyable evening with delicious food, a lovely ocean view and atmosphere.
