Namaste Curry House — Restaurant in Fairfield

Amazing Indian food! Best I've had in Cincinnati, unseating my prior favorite of Ambar. Curry was served in large bowls, piping hot, with generous portions of lamb. The Nepalese Momo appetizer was delicious also and next time I'll try a Nepalese entree as well.

(Edit 12/2/17) I had to reduce my rating here unfortunately. I went for the new lunch buffet yesterday and was sadly disappointed. The food they did have was flavorful for sure, but unfortunately that's about all it had going for it. The hot food didn't seem like it was kept warm enough. There was a very limited selection of dishes to try and only one non-vegetarian protein which was chicken in two different varieties, bone-in curry and butter chicken. They seemed to be having difficulty keeping up with demand also and the trays sat empty for a while.

The buffet itself was a little unkempt seeming. The pans were floating in the steamer water, so I'm not sure if that was overfilled possibly. Despite the very friendly employee standing behind the line there were still a few trays, such as naan, which had no utensils to serve with. Also they don't give you utensils at your table, you just grab them at the buffet. I ended up having to walk back up and get them after I realized this. Labels for the food were written on post-its, and much like the normal dinner seatings, it can be an effort to get some service.

All-in-all, I really want to love this place. The food I've had, other than the buffet, has all been fantastic. Unfortunately the lackluster service and the poor lunch buffet quality have really soured me on this restaurant. I may wait half a year or so and see if they improve...

I have been to Namaste Curry House a few times. The service is always excellent and the food is always great. Unfortunately...

I have deducted a star for their menu listings. I recently went with someone that has a dairy allergy. After careful review of the menu items and the listed ingredients, they selected an entree and naan bread. The menu did not say anything about having a cream-based sauce or the bread having dairy ingredients. This is extremely dangerous. You list SOME of the ingredients, but not ALL of the ingredients. This needs changed immediately.

I deducted another star for cleanliness and it truthfully should have been two stars. While the dining area always looks immaculate, I used their restroom for the first time on my most recent visit. The Men's Room was SHOCKING. Artwork from the wall was broken on the floor. IT was FILTHY from top to bottom. Dirty toilets, what appeared to be feces on the floor/toilet/wall/TP dispenser, and gross sinks. It really makes you wonder how clean the cooks that use that restroom are... and what does their KITCHEN look like??? This was not just one day of hard use either as it was shortly after open and there was only one other table besides ours. This restroom was obviously neglected for quite some time. This is absolutely inexcusable for a restaurant. People EAT here. If I ever give them another chance, I will go to the restroom upon arrival. If it still looks like it did that day, I will leave and...

First time ordered carry out, the food was hot when we arrived home, that was pretty much the only positive. Ordered Veg Samosa, Paneer Tikka Masala, Jhaneko Dal, and garlic naan. I really hate to complain but we think it's important to let other people know how terrible the food was so they don't waste their money. Our order was about $36. This was the worst Indian food we've ever had - the samosa was greasy and the filling was not flavored well. The Paneer Tikka Masala tasted and looked like they poured a can of Campbells Tomato Soup over the top of paneer - the paneer was good but the sauce was horrible. The Jhaneko Dal was basically a soup, mostly liquid, with a few lentils in it, and it was seasoned terribly. And the naan - for goodness sake this is the easiest thing to order - it was horrible - it was greasy, wet, and floppy, it literally folded right over when you picked it up - it didn't look cooked so we put it in the toaster oven but that didn't help much. When you bit into it, it looked raw still so we pretty much threw it away - we actually threw almost all of it away, so it was a terrible waste of money. We would definitely recommend not going to this restaurant, they need to close. Thankfully we haven't gotten sick from the food, but there is no way we'll...
