NAMASTE — Restaurant in Lapu-Lapu

Namaste Indian restaurant by Vanraj at Lapu Lapu city

When restaurant food isn't good. It's a deep disappointment when you crave authentic Indian flavors, only to find dishes that are overwhelmed by excessive masala, lack balance, or lack the subtlety that makes traditional Indian cuisine so special. They dishes we ate at Namaste restaurant Lapu Lapu City. 1- Chicken Tikka ( meat was cut very thin, a bit watery sauce because the suas is not cooked enough properly) Masala was very much. 2 - Beef curry, meat was cooked tender but again Masala was extreme. 2 - Lamb birayni, meat was tender BUT masala too much. 4 - Raita, I have never tasted so salty and it was not just natural yogurt, I think they have used corn flour to make it as cheap as possible to make and the taste is absolutely not good. 5 - Nan bread, I think they have their own recipe, BUT it was almost indian roti make with...

If you're not a big fan of the strong, bold flavors typically found in Indian food, this place might just surprise you. Their dishes are thoughtfully adjusted to suit the Filipino palate, yet they still capture the essence of authentic Indian cuisine. A friend recommended this spot to me a few months ago, and I’ve been coming back ever since. I’ve brought my friends and family along too—and they’ve all loved it just as much as I do! The restaurant is small, and every time we dine in, we often find ourselves being the only customers. Honestly, that worries me because this place truly deserves more recognition. Don’t hesitate to give this restaurant a try. You might just discover a new favorite!

We always order their chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, papad...

Love the fusion of Filipino and Indian dishes. You can't stop savoring the sumptuous selection of the following flavors:

Spicy Chicken Biryani Beef Curry Dal Tadka Papad Chapatti

A friend who was working in Dubai for 15 years came to dine with us at Namaste and commented that the Spicy Chicken Biryani was authentic.👌We topped it with crushed Papad and white sauce that came with the Biryani dish. The food choice was to die for. Chapatti bread for the Dal Tadka (a flavorful lentil preparation) and the Beef Curry. 😋

One happy group of customers here. Spread the love of good food, Chef Van. Can't wait to be back with more friends this time around.
