“ We love the food and the workers were amazing! ”
“ Always been there for chole bature. One of The most testiest chole bature. Recommend place. ”
“ I was staying at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn and took a chance by grabbing a menu from the front desk and ordered for delivery. I had chicken tikka masala which was amazing! I was not sure if the masala included rice, so I ordered an extra cup & was surprised with how much rice I received, so no need to order extra rice! Serving sizes were plenty and the food was packaged incredibly well! Great nan, the kheer desert was fantastic and the mango lassi was perfect! Great job to the Namaste team! ”
“ We reached late in New York City after an exhausting drive from Toronto, not many restaurants were open ( we are vegan vegetarian) by the time we arrived it was 11:22 pm and Namaste graciously welcomed us. There last order was 11:30 pm and yet they served us with the same energy and enthusiasm most would serve within decent service hours. The place was squeaky clean, modest and family owned. The bathroom was fresh clean. The masala papad was devoured in 5 minutes as we were hungry and even as it was delicious. The lentil soup warm and soothing. The dal and saag came with a side of steamed rice. The peas Pulav was filling and satisfying. The best was the chilled rice kheer OMG it reminded me of my moms! Lovely service and very gracious hosts. Would 100% recommend this place. They serve delicious lots vegan and vegetarian options along with non veg. A must if in Jamaica area in Queens NY. ”
“ I absolutely love ordering food from here. My favorite is the shahi paneer with their fresh Naan bread. I really love their food ”
“ 10/5, the food was great, it had many spices, the customer service was great too and the inside was clean. We ordered the - regular naan & butter naan - samosa chaat - aaloo ghobi - chicken tikka masala - something with lamb chops all of which were GREAT, especially the aaloo ghobi, if you’re not into spicy foods DONT order and say Medium spice, you’ll need less than M but overall everything was good, definitely recommended and i would definitely return ”
“ Excellent authentic Indian food near JFK. My wife and I had a day layover before our international trip, so we decided to explore Indian cuisine. The service and food were awesome. I wish I had recalled my servers name, but he was courteous and prompt. Great find. ”
“ This place is FANTASTIC!!! My wife and I arrived late in JFK and we did not want to eat fast food. We found Namaste on Uber Eats to be open (10 PM, EST) and decided to give them a try. I called and spoke to the owner to confirm they were still open and she took very good care of us. Our food arrived HOT, it was fresh, and she provided us with plenty of [plates, utensils, and cutlery; which we needed because the hotel we stayed at was not the best. If you are ever near JFK and would like a nice hot meal, go to Namaste! The food and customer service is great! ”
