"I wish i can give them 0 stars! Such bad food and the servers were very rude! I came in with family and we all are disappointed! FOOD IS REALLY BAD! NOT RECOMMENDED"

"Food is good. But the skinny girl server was very rude & unprofessional. If u r new its ok to be unknown about thing, but why to show attitude. If u dnt like your job just quit but dont be rude with customers. This place is not like it used to be before. It was my favorite place since 5 years. But now quit going there. Owner needs to teach employees how to attend diners. However, food quality is very good."

"Namaste, to the team at Namaste Authentic Indian Cuisine! What is going with you? Is it stale naan bread, customer service that can't take responsibility for their mistakes, and stale food that is either too spicy or not spicy enough? It is! My family has frequented this place over the years and the quality of food has consistently went down and the prices increased. We have officially decided not to go back. Especially since yesterday, the naan bread was harder that a frisbee. I really did like this spot because it was local and even supported the price increases. But I'm no longer wasting my money here."

"I just went to this restaurant on Sunday, September 3, 2023. I was craving some authentic Indian food. I read the reviews and decided to go with my husband and a friend. The people were relatively friendly. The food on the other hand was very disappointing. Our server was gracious, but that could not compensate for the food. First I was quite surprised at the speed at which the food came to our table. When the food arrived, it was not very hot. That was my first red flag. I’ve been to Indian restaurants and when the food arrived at the table it was hot, aromatic and mouthwatering….this was not. The potato and cauliflower curry (forgot the name) was clumpy and tasted like it had been sitting around for a while and they just hurriedly put it in a microwave. The salmon curry got a C-, hot, not flavorful. The curried okras were horrible. The okras tasted like they were months old. Every mouthful contained hard pieces that had to be expelled from the oral cavity because of the difficulty in swallowing. To their credit, they did not charge us for the okras. I spoke with the server and asked her if the food was freshly prepared. I know that some prep and that sauces etc. are premade…but this meal tasted like it had been made from the previous day or early morning and heated up in a microwave. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. Our friend took doggy bags, not because it was so tasty, but because we had paid for it, and she could probably work magic with it home. I wouldn’t waste my time I will never go back to this restaurant. Restaurant owners must respect that the customer works hard for their money, and when they go out to eat its because they want something that is authentic, fresh, hot and tasty. I don’t know if it was authentic, but it certainly wasn’t hot nor did it taste fresh. The mango lassi and naan bread were the best tasting items on our order. I'm sorry I couldn't give it 0 stars"

"I haven't had Indian in a while, so finally came here and my craving was definitely fulfilled. Delicious food! Loved the cuisine and the service. The mango lassi was perfect. The interior is nicely decorated and good space between people. There's also outside dining available as well. Good music playing in the background. Definitely recommend. Updated: I came here again to try the lamb dishes...but they weren't my favorite. The mango lassi still amazing and the garlic Naan as well."
