Namaste Indian Restaurant

Don’t let the casual atmosphere of this place fool you… this is hands down the best Indian food we have found outside of NYC. We have been here multiple times for take out…and we have never been disappointed! My favorites are the lamb tikka masala and the garlic naan. Scrumptious!!! Highly recommend a visit!

During the Plague of 2020, hungry for take-out Indian food, my partner and I walked in and out of Namaste. Big mistake. Sitting down at this same restaurant off a nondescript stretch of 9W a week ago, I knew—with its no-nonsense server, and its walls painted deep papaya orange, that the meal was going to be great. Even now my mouth waters in memory of this taste experience. Within minutes of placing our order, the dining area’s air was filled with smells from the kitchen. Something real was happening. The sensual complexity of Indian food, whose multitudinous scents I’ll awkwardly describe as bristling, sweet, unguenty, thorny, puckery, and the like, were upon us. And once the dishes came, unlike the smell, say of peanut butter being superior to its actual taste, the flavors of our dishes were dazzling. Rich and creamy, the Shahi Lamb Korma was tender and plentiful. The Aloo Gobhi Mas, a gustatory complement. I more than once asked my partner not to talk and closed my eyes while feeling the food. The Palak Paneer, decent. The Garlic naan, perfectly chewy and sprinkled with coriander, the latter being a real sign of a caring chef. It's also worth mentioning that the server gave us options over how spicy we wanted our food prepared. We were so happy with our meal that we overate, the way sometimes at an amusement park I have—out of delight—ridden one topsy-turvy ride too many, and made myself, as a consequence, a bit sick. Mind you, there is little that is showy about this joint. It’s not for the bougie folk who fancy themselves upper class but derive their sense of this from their phones. The bathroom could use refreshing and a carpenter’s touch. The large flat screen, which I requested be turned off, is a nuisance. But the overall experience of this establishment is non pareil. When I attempted to express my dining pleasure to a man who had emerged from the kitchen, my English was not understood. But I persisted and after passing my wish to another quite affable server to extend my compliments to the unseen chef, she was thanked with an on the house mango lassie. A bustling take-out business seems to be central to the restaurant’s success. Should we beset by another plague, I know exactly where to go. Total outlay: 60 dollars

First time here and the food is INCREDIBLE! We had chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and garlic Naan. The Naan pieces were huge and delicious. The service was awesome. Will definitely be coming here again

We ordered Chicken Tika, Chana spaghetti, vegetable samosas, samosa cheat and garlic naan. Everything was DELICIOUS!

BEST korma in the world!!! Good is incredibly delicious and I’m a crazy foodie who’s been in the restaurant business for over 30 years.

The best Indian food I've ever had. Was at a work event in Saugerties and ordered this restaurant three straight nights. Had Lamb Vindaloo (good), Lamb Rogan Josh (Phenomenal), and Sarson Ka Saag (Phenomenal). Plus the Onion Kulcha was Phenomenal.

When u search for Halal food this one is displayed but make sure u ask which items in the menu are halal. As some of the meat are not certified. The people's are very cooperative and good food
