Restaurant Namaste St-Jean — Restaurant in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

So far we've had 3 "good" Indian restaurant in this town and all 3 had their own pros and cons. This one is still part of the good ones even though I'm leaving 3 stars.

Let me break this down.

5 star (we ordered pickup) -1 star: food was cold even though we came for the pickup 20 min before the time we said we'd be there (so the food was probably already on the counter for a while) -1 star: compared to other Indian restaurant we've ordered from before we easely had 1/3 less food for the same price.

Were down at 3 stars... Because these issues were very visible we paid around the same prices we paid the others (reasonable amount) they are priced competitively, their food is good no mistake there and the service when I picked it up was good and the employee was really nice to me.

But it dawned on us imidiately after opening it that we'd have to heat up the whole thing and as we ate we determined that we easely had less food than from other offering.

Are they good? Yes. Are they priced good? Yes. Was the amount of food satisfactory? No. Should I have to heat up my food? No. Would I go...

The assorted appetizers tasted all pretty great but once again 9.95 for 1 samosa, 1 very small onion bhaji, 1 small piece of pakora chicken and 3 small bites of chicken tikka...

What a beautiful experience, Indian fine cuisine. I usually go to Montreal to eat Indian food, but now I can have here in St-Jean and I must admit it was the finest Indian food I ate in my life. I must come again. The personal is kind and helpful oh I forgot.... The nann bread, totally made there and the tenderness is unreal, must try. He offered to come and see his special oven but I was so overwhelmed with the taste of the meal that I forgot. But next time I will take him on the offer. I...
