Namaste Restaurant: Cuisine of India and Nepal — Restaurant in Lakewood

Great little place, one of the best in Denver. Highly recommended. Always a pleasant experience.

Update:

I personally have been coming here for over 12 years now since I discovered this place. I can't recall a single time where food was at least good, and most of the time it is great. I think the only time I didn't care for the food was during lunch buffet where the food was cold. Other than that, spot on. I've tried a lot of different dishes, starting out with vegetarian dishes when I was a vegetarian, with dishes like Baigan Bharta (which is still my go-to for an amazing dish that's smokey, sweet, somehow savory and full of flavor), Saag Paneer (creamy, delicious with full spinach flavor), and when in doubt on what to pick out of the many amazing vegetarian dishes, I go with veggie thali with all of my favorites included. Of course, there are also delicious meat dishes like their amazing tandoori chicken, the famous Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka Saag, and if I can't decide, it's non-veggie thali with all of my favorites combined. Their nan is a must when eating at the restaurant (doesn't always carry home well though) and their fluffy basmati rice is amazing - fragrant, buttery, flavorful as rice goes. Don't be afraid to ask them for mild, medium, or even hot. Mild does not mean flavorless here, and if your gut can handle it, ask for spicy. I think they add just the right amount of spice depending on the level you ask, but YMMV.

Their staff is always a delight. I am always happy to see them whether it's takeout or sit down.

I updated this review because they deserve it. I'm sorry it took so long, but I just wanted to let you guys know how much you are appreciated and how great the food is here. Here's to more decades of delicious food and...

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 order wasn't quite ready when I arrived a bit early, so I told the kind man who helped me that I was going to check on my dog who was in the car, and he offered to bring my order out to me in my...

My favorite, and go to spot!!!! It's disappointing to see that most bad reviews are from door dash:/ not sure if it's because the freshness from delivery or what. But, I have been coming here for a very long time since I was younger with my family and we've never had a bad experience. They have always had a very polite and friendly staff, and the food has always been amazing! 10 out of 10 recommended. I don't even live in the area but when I am I come here. We used to come here for birthdays and family meet ups. Always delicious! Recently, I went with my father for Father's Day and enjoyed the Namaste Special (For Two) and everything was tasty. We were both full and had enough leftovers for a whole other meal, and it was $30.95, which is an incredible deal for what you...
