Namaste Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Alcúdia

Situated in the Alcúdia area of northern Mallorca, this (actually Nepalese) restaurant is a little haven for those seeking tasty curries and the like from the Indian subcontinent.

Getting here, the parking can be slightly tricky as the restaurant is located in a busy commercial area. A car park exists nearby but we got a bit lucky and decided to park on the street perpendicular to the one with the restaurant. There are outdoor as well as indoor seating areas - we didn't try 'al fresco' this time as it was a cold spring evening. We found the interior environment to be comfortable, with the decor being very much of Indian persuasion: somewhat discordant but welcoming all the same. Buddha figures appear throughout and the owners' Nepalese origins are apparent if understated.

The staff greeted us within seconds of walking onto the premises in a cool and calm manner. You immediately get the siesta vibe here - everything is easygoing. This initially gave me a worry that the food would reflect similarly, but once the food arrived, I realised quickly that I needn't entertain that particular reservation. The restaurant was at about 35% occupancy on a Wednesday night in March - definitely low season on an offpeak night. And like most successful immigrants, the staff are talented and speak multiple languages fluently, including their native language as well as English and Spanish.

Onto the food: all the superlatives used by the other reviews are well deserved. Everything we sampled was excellent throughout and are clearly marked with allergen information on the menu - and it's so welcome that they mention the word 'vegan' on the menu. We tried starters in the form of vegetable samosas, alongside a good selection of mains - all excellent. I'd recommend ordering just three mains plus a flatbread of choice and some rice if you're with one other guest.

Regarding specific dishes, of particular note was the ayurvedic daal - an outstanding dish full of flavour and recommended not only by me but by the restaurant itself, and rightly so. Saag aloo is also well worthwhile as it seemed to use fresh spinach rather than a readily-canned or pureed solution like most Indian restaurants in the UK tend to do. The mixed vegetable curry was highly commendable as well. We were asked about the spice level for all dishes so we opted for 'medium' and everything ended up being more than palatable. It's crystal clear that they have an excellent kitchen operating in the back with talented chefs.

Overall, fantastic food, friendly staff and decent pricing makes this restaurant a must-try for vegans visiting Mallorca. Make the trip, even if you're not staying on this side of the island - it's well worth it and one that would give the top Indian restaurants in London a run for their money! Highly...

Dining at Namaste Indian Restaurant was an absolute delight! Our table was beautifully laid out with a colorful variety of dishes. Soft, fluffy naan bread fresh from the tandoor, paired perfectly with rich and aromatic curries. The spread also featured a plate of sizzling tandoori vegetables, bursting with smoky flavor and spices, alongside fluffy, golden jeera rice and a refreshing raita to balance the heat. The drinks were just as enjoyable — chilled glasses for spanish draft beer. Also they serve wide range of cocktails with fun striped straws added a playful and refreshing twist to the meal.
