Our family's favorite restaurant. We've been dining at Namaste for over 20 years and it's our 'go-to' for our family's celebrations and many family meals. We just feel happy after we've dined here and our kids have eaten here since they could eat solid foods! Great prices, friendly staff, and amazing tasting food. We do miss the variety of offerings on the buffet and hope some day it returns, but we understand. We highly recommend!

Never having dined here before, we decided to order the Namaste sampler platter for 2 for takeout on 12/30/21 and it was phenomenal! We were impressed with not only the amount of food but also the delicious array of quality flavors. Also appreciated that they labeled each container so we knew what was what.. My favorites of the dishes were the shrimp tikka masala and the saag paneer. The tandoori chicken was dry and thus our least favorite. Couldn't finish everything for dinner, so we cooked more rice the next day to eat the rest! Definitely will be back based on the food & customer service - my

Another day, another new Indian restaurant to try.
We came in Saturday around 7:30pm, and there was only one other group there. That's always a red flag when a place is empty!
The service was slow and unattentive.
We ordered vegetable samosa. The inside was pretty bland.
The lentil soup was hearty and flavorful .
We also ordered vegetable biryani, chicken tika, and lamb jafreeze. We got most of the dishes but Had to wait a while for the lamb. The place was empty, the service should have been better, more attentive and all the food should have come out at once.

Namaste is one of my all time Lakewood spots! I have ordered and eaten inside the restaurant as well as preferred pick up to enjoy at home. The ambiance is casual. It's great for a quick hang with friends or family, but can also serve as a casual date night out. The service is always great! It's usually not very busy, so the service is prompt. This may give you the impression that it's not good, but don't let the empty dining room scare you away! The food is so tasty and authentic. My boyfriend and I usually order the Namaste Special (For Two). This takes all the guesswork out

If you're looking for flavor rich, fresh, well cooked Indian/Nepalese cuisine, this is not it. The food lacks flavor & spice & was overcooked, plus the amount of rice provided for 2 entrees at their dinner prices was nill - rice. I try to support local businesses, especially during COVID (always including tip$), but that doesn't mean quality should suffer.

Just moved to the area and wanted to try an Indian restaurant. My husband and I got the meal for two and it was a perfect introduction to this restaurant! The meal for two includes chicken tandoori, several smaller versions of mains, naan, and an app. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection! It could honestly be called a meal for three based on how much food you receive. Their drinks are also very affordable. We will definitely be back!

I ordered the chicken tikki masala (mild) and meat samosas for pick up. Everything was piping hot when I got it home. The samosas were huge and filled to bursting with ground lamb. The lamb, however, lacked any flavor. The chicken in the tikki masala was fairly dry and not very tender. The sauce was delicious when paired with their rice. I will probably stop here again and try something different.

This has been a favorite spot for my wife and I for many years! Their food is super delicious...best paneer around for sure!! Everything we've had there, and we've had a lot, has been yummy comfort food. They have a terrific menu, something for everyone, and excellent customer service. Definitely try Namaste!

This was a very good meal. The five of us did it family style, each got a meal and a couple of apps, and didn't try anything I didn't like/wouldn't eat again... save maybe the biryani wasn't the best.
Have seen a comment or two about the service being slow, but this isn't an American style restaurant service-wise. Please don't go expecting to be out in 15 minutes. Go expecting a nice long meal. It reminded me of being back and eating at restaurants in Europe.
We will be back.

To be fully accurate, this is four and a half stars.
The buffet is fairly consistent, and good for vegetarians.
Off the menu, the food is better.
I order a thali and have three meals. My partner would get two.
Chai arrives unsweetened, a plus in my book.
Service is prompt without being stifling 99 percent of the time.
The other percent is neglectful. But, hey, it's buffet and I could have yelled out, since I was the only customer there.
Spice levels are slightly low, so if you like hot, consider ordering a level up.
I've been coming here since 2005. I'd say it's my comfort

I love paneer tiki masala and this place was decent, their hot was hot, but the paneer was a little tough, but the cheese naan was delicious! There were a couple of things that were a little disappointing. The customer service of the guy who checked us out seemed annoyed? I mean we're trying to give you money. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but try being a little happy, polite, maybe a thank you? Lastly a bit of friendly advice, lose the styrofoam and plastic bags please? To go orders don't need a paper bag AND a plastic bag. Let's try to reduce one time use products and non-biodegradable items to

Very delicious. You can never go wrong with chicken tiki masala. So delicious. We had the lamb curry too, which was good. This was the first place where I have seen cheese inside the naan. Also, it was a very large portion of rice that comes with the meal. All of the food was great. Definitely coming back.
We also ate on a Thursday night so it was not packed at all and we were seated immediately. Service was great.

We've been here a couple of times when visiting family in Denver, and my family that lives here are weekly regulars of this delicious place. Everyone working at the restaurant is really friendly and it's clear that they make a successful business for themselves not only with their excellent food but additionally with personalized customer service. Our most recent visit made it evident that this is a favorite of the locals. Not only was my family catching up about the lives and holiday events of the friendly hostess and server, but I heard her chatting with several other couples about
