The food is creative and goes beyond standard mainstream offerings. On this visit we enjoyed dosage and a fantastic veggie curry from Goa, plus more. The server was gracious and helpful. The location is great, and it's reasonably accessible other than a single high step at entry.

Excellent overpriced food. We were the only couple in the place with a 1800hrs (6:00 p.m.) arrival. Faint odour of “sewer”.

The food was amazing! There’s no complaints about the food. The only thing that wasn’t too great was the service. It was extremely slow. When asked for water the waiter asked for a second went to serve other customers and completely forgot about us which I was found quite rude and unprofessional.

We found the staff not very friendly. They were not rude but they just went through the motions. When booking it showed only 3 reservations left however the restaurant was almost empty. Food was okay. My husband enjoyed his shrimp but my chicken was over cooked and dry. The naan looked like something bought at a grocery store not made in house. The saffron rice was good and the cauliflower and potato very good. Also, it was my husband’s 80th birthday which I had put on the reservation however it was not acknowledged. I don’t know why the reservation form inquired if it was a special occasion when it was obvious no one cared. We won’t be returning.

Very attentive service. Butter chicken had only five pieces of meat in a bowl full of sauce. Onion bhaji was overcooked. Great naan. Expensive for the quality of good. Nice, quiet environment. God for conversation

My girlfriend had never eaten Indian food before. While on vacation to Kingston, I booked Namaste so she could have her first experience. I ordered a spicy and delicious lamb vindaloo which was one of the best I've ever had. She ordered a biryani which was (as she described) "the most flavorful meal I've ever eaten". We also enjoy samosas and garlic naan. It's hard to go wrong with Indian, and Namaste really steps it up to provide a memorable and delicious feast. The service, food, and ambience was something you'd expect in a restaurant with higher price point. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in Kingston. Highly recommend.

Food is amazing and service is great. First time going during the winter to eat in, and it was really cold in the restaurant and the music playing it was surprised that music was playing More energetic hip hop style music. I don't think that was playing last time, but just felt odd for such a nice sit down experience. Food is amazing and service is great nonetheless and will continue to go back. Just maybe in the summer when it is a but warmer.
