Namaste Indian Food

"We didn't expect this good and delicious food in Kauai, we ordered chole palak, and paneer tikka extra spicy and it was really hot so we liked it but caution that this was legit extra spicy , we ate twice here so the next time we ordered spicy. We also order mango lassi which good but different from the usual mango lassi. Service was fast, a little bit costly but I guess its because of being in Hawaii"

"I should have read reviews before heading out. It looks like this is a vegan and gluten free Indian place. The mango lassi was not something I am accustomed to due to it being vegan so had to throw it away."

"The Lamb Korma was amazing, probably the most flavorful Korma I've ever had. The Lamb was perfect. I can't wait to try their Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken. The Mango Lassi was good too. There is plenty of parking, and dining is outside with a view of the beach and ocean. Easily accessible. I will be back soon."

"Excellent food and service everything comes out hot with a tray. Portions are huge and the dishes come with basmati rice one serving is enough for 3 people to share. We ended up getting 3 dishes plus masala chai for 3 for about $50 which is not bad for the amount of food you get. Noka Beach Access with parking. The sign is small and we actually passed it up and parked across the street. I took a pic of the sign so people know to look for it. Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo channa curry were delicious. The masala chai was excellent as well. Great Vegetarian options as well. Very authentic street style food.There are a few tables set up to wait or eat at. Just past the gates is access to the beach. You do pay after you eat and that is a practice that is followed in India as well so not that out of the blue, but the prices were not marked anywhere (you can always ask the guy how much things cost before placing an order) Most items were around $10/$12. There are port-a-potties a little distance away as well."

"Let me start out by saying, this food truck along with Kauai Thai Food Trunk is the best on the island. The cuisine is amazing. Even better than any other Indian food we’ve had. The flavors are well balanced and delicious. So delicious and addictive. We have been coming to Namaste for several years and have never had anything negative to say about the service, the food or the price but this time was an exception. Apparently our chef likes to decide what price to charge you after you’ve eaten the meal. We thought he was being nice until we over paid with our credit card. There were no prices listed on the truck but online we saw much lower prices. For instance online Chicken Curry was $16 and when we paid the receipt showed $22. That felt deceiving. Our suggestion to you dear customers when you order ask for the total bill and pay before delivery of food. That might give you the opportunity to either pass on it due to the higher prices or decide it’s worth the extra expense. The food is definitely delicious and special. When you eat his Indian dishes you know it’s made from the heart and full of flavor. Not sure why he has started doing this, maybe out of desperation? But he shouldn’t have to deceive his customers in this way. It felt shady when we looked at our receipt. Why not full disclosure from the start. We would have walked away feeling more aloha. And we probably still would have paid his price though we might have questioned why such an increase?! I’m even sad writing this review for a chef we respected but after reading other reviews we realized we were not the only ones deceived. It puts a very bad taste in our mouths. What a pity because his food is sublime and his naan is better than anything we have ever tasted. The whole experience has changed for us. We are sad to say goodbye."
