As always, excellent and friendly service combined with a great range of brilliant authentic cusine. Dahi Puri, House Daal and Gobi Manchurian are particular stand outs, and I'm loving the addition of the pistachio and saffron lassi to the drinks menu.

We had a fantastic breakfast at Namaste in Norwich — what a treat! A wonderful fusion of Indian flavours with a fresh, comforting twist. Every dish was beautifully cooked, full of colour and taste, and clearly made with care. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, creating such a relaxed and genuine atmosphere. It’s not often you find a place that gets both the food and the vibe so right. Can’t wait to go back!

Every one at the restaurant was so helpful in the run up to our family celebration and we changed the numbers three times! Staff are super friendly, helpful with smiling faces despite a very busy night. Food was excellent and served very quickly. With 15 of us they didn’t even hurry us out and we stayed and chatted for a while. Excellent experience thank you!!

We dined here for their new afternoon tea. One vegan and one carnivore. The vegan (me) thought it was amazing and good value for money the non vegan (hubby) wasn’t as keen on it but still devoured the lot. I would def go back and I’m sure I could convince him to come back with me. The staff were very attentive and other than a hen party enjoying themselves it was a very relaxed afternoon.
