Namaste Indian Restaurant 2180 U.S. 1, St. Augustine, FL 32086

"Food is excellent! The owners and kitchen staff are very friendly. This is a mom and pop restaurant. It’s the type of restaurant that draws you in for the quality of food. They have authentic Indian food and they use fresh ingredients. If I could eat here everyday, I would. I invite many friends and many family often. It’s always recommended again and again with everyone enjoying it. Start low on spicy levels so you can learn where your tolerances are. I recommend samosa chat with lamb curry or lamb sag. Naan is a must! Spending about $35 per person between both of us for, appetizer, meal, tax and tip."

"I had Lamb Curry, and my husband had Chicken 65. Both are super delicious. The Naan bread was so good! The service also good! Don't have any problem at all! And the place was clean. I can't believe they only have 3,8 stars reviews. I think this is the best Indian food we ever had so far! We will be back and try other item menu for sure!"

"The food was good. But the customer service was dismal. Courtesy in dealing with hungry customers coming to their place at 2:00 PM is something the managing staff don't seem to have. The online portal says they are open till 3 PM, but they will not allow you to occupy a table if you go there at 2:20 PM. They should either change their timings in the online portal or learn to be courteous with their customers coming late afternoon. We choose an Indian restaurant in an unknown town just to feel the sense of comfort and also a sense of pride that our people have a footprint there. People will forget how the food tasted over time, but not the experience of being treated badly. Again, the food is great. I would definitely recommend the food. But if you are hungry and the time is past 2:00 PM, if you want to have a pleasant rest of the day, I would suggest you look for an alternative option."

"The couple did seem like they were rude, not gonna lie but I’ve come to believe that they don’t understand the concept of customer service in the United States and they’re still operating at an Indian restaurant level. The food was pretty good! Garlic naan is to die for! We took Gobi “Mansoori”, chicken biriyani, garlic naan and Malai kofta. No complaints about the food. Only confusing part was, the lady asked me what’s the spice level that I’m comfortable with. I said “Indian spice”. She asked me to choose the spice level from 1-10 without giving me an idea of what’s what. I said 8 just to be safe and the food was bland. Should have gone with 10. Entre took like 10-15 mins to come and my stomach was already making noises. Main course didn’t take much time. It was right after the entre. Chai was good too, all gingery and spicy! Main complaint, didn’t offer for water at all! Cutlery seemed a bit old and the dining cloth looked dirty. I mean, how hard is it to change clothes? The owner showed me the bill when we were leaving and asked is it okay? Again, I was confused. Btw, if you arrive around 3 PM they’re not going to let you dine in. Also, you can come after 4 PM and you’ll get a table. Otherwise it’s carry out only!"

"It's an authentic India restaurant. The ambiance was a bit plain, but it was clean. The food was delicious and the price was about $25-40. Garlic naan was the best. Depending on the order. We enjoyed our lunch. ..."
