Namaste Indian Nepali Kitchen LLp

Food was okay, the chicken tikka masala was way too tomato heavy, and too light on flavor. The other dishes were better, except the rice pudding had zero flavor at all.

Great food for Nepali food in Montpelier, Vermont. The service was pretty good. A young man took care of us and made sure that we got our food and drinks. We probably should have tried to split a couple of entrees instead, we ordered our own, and that was our mistake. The two entrees were large but yummy. If you're in the mood for Nepali / Indian food I definitely recommend going here at least to take takeout

We were super hungry and drove 30 minutes for some desi food, but still didn’t get any real taste! The butter chicken was the worst we’ve ever had, and the portion was tiny. The biryani, butter naan, and mango lassi were just average.

The food here is very good and there is a boy named Saini who works there and he talks very nicely. I would definitely like to come here next time.

​I had a truly frustrating and disappointing experience at Namaste Indian Nepali Kitchen LLp tonight. We were looking forward to a nice dinner, but the service completely ruined the evening. ​We were seated and placed our order promptly, but then the wait began, and it just dragged on and on. We sat patiently for well over 30 minutes without any sign of our food or any updates from our server. ​Finally, I had to flag down the waiter to ask what the huge delay was. The response was shocking: he admitted that he had completely forgotten to submit our food order to the kitchen. ​Seriously? After we waited for more than half an hour, we found out that our meal hadn't even started cooking yet. That was completely unacceptable. It ruined our evening and felt like a complete waste of time. We decided to leave instead of waiting another hour for them to finally make our forgotten food.

Ordered Pulao which clearly says that it has vegetables in it. But there is no trace or single vegetable. The rice is very dry feels like it was left outside since morning, the spices and nuts are all burnt. I even spoke to the manager and he clearly cut the call and did not even reply if I asked for his name. Stopped lifting the call as well. It feels very bad having this kind of service.

I’ve had great food and good experiences here, but unfortunately had a disappointing takeout experience. The butter chicken was just not that great, and we ordered chicken soup for 7.50, and got barely half a cup. I wish they had the quantity listed on the menu or I would not have ordered it. Hoping it was just a bad night but am feeling hesitant to return.

The food was phenomenal and the the person who checked us out was very kind. I rarely post reviews, but this is a new business and I hope it is here for a long time. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

I have loved this restaurant since I first found them on DoorDash while working in Montpelier. Everything I've eaten has been delicious. Today was my first time eating in the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food fantastic. I tried the lamb saag for the first time. I was surprised by how green the sauce was, it contains spinach, but it was not overwhelming with spinach. Perfect as I expected. My husband ate there for the first time today and loved the chicken tikka masala. Spice level was just right when I told them that I wanted between mild and medium. When you eat there don't forget the garlic naan. It's to die for! I was surprised at the lack of customers on a Tuesday during lunch hour. Eat there and keep this small, local business going. If you like Indian food you will not be disappointed.

Surprisingly authentic Indian food in VT. Had lamb coconut curry, butter chicken in the Nepali lunch special, garlic naan, goat kadai. Chaat samosa to start, it was good and filling. Freshly prepared and tasty. If in the area I would come again.

Good Indian food. We had dal soup (salty, but they took it back and fixed it), dal saag, and aloo gobi. Great service. We ate in, but they serve a lot of food to go (take-out). Decor is casual.

A great take out spot! My friend and I were visiting and came across this place and were craving indian food so we made an order and it hit the spot! The spice level was well received as we asked for medium and it was perfect. We got the samosa chat which was good but our only complaint was that the samosa had way too many peas for our liking. We also got the dal makhani with rice and some naan and that was a 10/10 - would definitely get it again if we are nearby. We didn't eat inside (so can't speak to service or inside vibes too much) but our order was ready on time for takeout and the inside looked nice if you wanted to dine in.

Just great. 2nd time here and another home run. Vegetable Pakora is. *superb*, crunchy, delicious. Must have. Lamb curry is rich, great tomatoey sauce, tender lamb (unlike many Indian places!) Shrimp korma is super rich, coconut/ground cashew sauce, shrimp perfectly cooked. Last time we had a Father's Day special, Cilantro Lamb, that is not to be missed. Amazing sauce. Service is friendly and competent, and the place is cheery and well-kept. All in all Namaste is a wonderful asset for Montpelier!

My wife, two teenage sons (18 yrs, 16 yrs) and I enjoyed a delightful lunch here in mid-July 2024. We were not expecting to find authentic Nepalese cuisine (i.e., pork momos) in the middle of Montpelier after a fun visit to a nearby vintage clothing shop and a record store. Lots of pluses! First, it has a superb location on Main St. across from the Skinny Pancake. You can find paid meter street parking (during weekday lunch service) along Main St. (about a 5 minute walk away). Second, the chicken chow mein (with a nice combination of Nepalese curry spices) and pork dumplings (momos) were fabulous for lunch. My wife enjoyed the thali lunch combination plate and a side order of garlic naan bread. Third, the service was great at lunch. The staff noted the restaurant opened in spring 2022 (just over 2 years), but I hope it will thrive in Montpelier. It was a pleasant and welcome surprise for out-of-town tourists! Of course, if you dislike curries or have severe nut or other food allergies, this may not be the place for you. That said, we would certainly come here again for lunch on our next trip to Montpelier!

The food is delicious, with many choices. Our server was very friendly and polite. We love coming here!

This was by far the best Indian Food I have had in my life. I got butter chicken which is a staple and it was perfect! Garlic naan was delicious and a decent size at that. Chicken pakora was juicy as well. I was greeted at the door by an employee who brought me my pickup order right away. Restraunt itself was quaint and clean, even though I left to eat at

The saag was creamy and the spice was just right to set my whole mouth. The jalfrezi was hot. The spiced naan aloo kulcha tender and went so well with our food. The service was prompt and courteous. Pleasant simple interiors with modern Indian music playing on the large screen

The service was friendly with outdoor seating so we could sit with the dog. Surprisingly good ethnic cuisine. Only problem for me was there wasn't any shade, would come back on a cooler day.

Food was tasty, very authentic! Staff was kind and friendly. The ambiance was chill . Had plenty of space for large to single person seating area. Again I am impressed by the quality of food / taste it was subpar! I was just visiting and I went several times and they were consistent with their cooking and service !! Too bad I don't have a pic, I ate it all every time!! :) I had the chicken masala with rice and naan garlic bread!!

Food was excellent and well priced. Service was very attentive. Portions were very good. You could split one entre between two people. Near the center of town. I will come back again and again and try everything on the extensive menu.

Food and service were both excellent! We will come back next time we are in Montpelier.

The ambiance walking in was great, we sat at the bar to order out. With the help of the staff we decided on lamb korma and were very excited to get it back to our hotel. Once we dug in though, our first bite was a STAPLE, not a bone or bug, but the office supply. We are very put off and let down by the food experience. But the staff was kind and helpful.

Love this place!! Awesome Indian food that's real and so delicious!!! Food is always hot and on point. Definitely recommend going here!!!

We sat down for a great vegetarian meal tonight. We were greeted and seated right away, and the service staff was helpful and attentive. I had the Dal Saag (mild) and my partner had the Chana Saag (medium) with a side of plain naan bread. Both meals were fresh, flavorful and came with good size portions. We'll definitely be back.

this restaurant is amazing! The best and freshest food ever. Service is wonderful and the people are very kind and helpful. My favorite is the dahl bowl. the thick one. And The tandoori chicken! Delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed. They welcomed me to sit at a table outside to have a conference call for an hour really great.

Table for 2 on a Saturday evening... wonderful service, wonderful staff and customers and wonderful food. We ordered dinner and were approached by another couple asking if we would like to join them. We did and it was a lovely experience with a renowned artist and architect. Both wonderful and engaging people. Such fun! We ordered butter chicken, coconut curry chicken, butter naan, Kashmiri naan and a wonderful tasting High Noon drink. Can't say enough good words about the food and customer service - outstanding all around! Look forward to a return visit and more good times and good food here. Yum!

The food was amazing - there was a variety of flavors and spices! We enjoyed friendly service, with just the right amount of attention. I highly recommend Namaste!

This is wonderful. Their lamb is tender with lots of taste. I usually go for the vindaloo and biryani. The staff is friendly. Their shop is peaceful. Could eat this every night. Spice level is accurate to how we order.

We got takeout, but even after the 45 minute drive back our AirBnb--it was delicious. The food comes in huge portions per order and is priced reasonably for what you receive. We got two large orders of rice (that came with our food), butter chicken, mango lamb curry, coconut lamb curry, and a goat dish. The goat dish had a lot of bones which other reviews also state, but it was no issue for us. We also got two sides of vegetable samosas (one order = two samosas) and they were quite big. They were also very spicy! The spice level can be adjusted based on personal preference and we were all happy with our dishes. This was plenty of food for our group of 4 and we had leftovers.

My wife and I had an excellent meal. Shrimp vindaloo, butter chicken and for a starter delicious pork momos. Highest recommendation!!

Outstandingly delicious food - we ordered a wide variety of dishes, vindaloo, korma, tikka masala, biryani and they were excellent. Wonderful and attentive staff.

One of my favorite places when we are visiting VT. The Dal makhani is like no other that I've ever had. I had it there years ago and loved it!! Started ordering it at other restaurants and its doesn't even come close!! All the food is excellent. The waiter was super friendly and helpful when I had a question or needed something. We would definitely go back again!!

Great to find this place, the staff was really helpful and the food tasted amazing. Try the rolls and Paneer dishes l, bet you won't be disappointed

My sister and I were visiting relatives and ate here for the first time. The food was fantastic and the staff was extremely friendly - We highly recommend.

The flavors are so good, balanced. Just completely mackable. Good value. Loved the naan breads and chicken tikka masala.

delicious and super nice staff! Quiet atmosphere. super creamy magi lassi, not too sweet.

The food is good every time we go which is 1-2times a month. We have only gotten take out (versus dining in), and especially love the samosa chaat, chicken vindaloo - medium spicy, chicken tikka masala - very spicy (found that the medium spice is barely noticeable for this dish), and garlic naan. The staff is friendly, but often get spelling or name wrong if you call in a phone order. If waiting for your order in the store, list off what you ordered because they could have an incorrect name listed on your order. Overall food is great, fair to generous sized portions, friendly staff, and would definitely recommend to others.

delicious. friendly could use a lot more fun lighting like they have in New York First rate naan and korma Excellent for vegetarians

Fish curry and lamb tikka masala with chili naan were all delicious! Service was on point. If we lived locally, we would eat here weekly!

Amazing food and great dairy and gluten free options! So happy we found this!! Good size servings. We be back!!

We ordered off of DoorDash when we saw this place had become available, we ordered the chicken tikki masala, the coconut chicken curry, garlic naan bread and some Samosas. It was all very tasty and the flavor was great. The portion sizes were a little surprising, with just enough food for two people, a rice bowl we had to share that was pretty small, the total was almost $60, before the door dash fees. I was expecting really large portion sizes for the price of almost $20 per entree dish. That being said, it was delicious and the flavors were great!

Amazing food! One of the best Indian dishes I had. Service was amazing and everybody smiley. Thank you

So good!!!!!! The saga paneer are best I have ever had. Really wonderful excellent service

This is a well run place with very reasonably priced food. The folks who work there could not be nicer. I had the Coconut Chicken Curry and the Garlic Naan. Simple room, not fancy, quick attentive service. I'd for sure return the next time I'm in Montpelier

Great neighborhood place. Nice owner, delicious food, and excellent staff. Enjoy! .............................

Excellent food and friendly service. Worked well for a group of picky eaters. The food was very flavorful and portions were a good size.

Great food. Heriyali paneer is great. As is coconut chicken. Mango lassi was great. Chai tea was only meh. Despite what some reviewers said service was great.

This place gives amazingly delicious, giant portions. The flavors are so good and make sure to go here every time I'm in Montpelier. One of my favorite restaurants in the area, for sure! I recommend the Aloo Gobi and Naan!

I love Indian food and have had a fair amount of it in my travels for work. I don't get to Montpelier often and had no idea this new restaurant had opened last year, so when I found out I had to try it right away. Ordered up my favorite go to for Indian which is chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. I was hoping to be blown away, but sadly I'm not. I ordered the chicken tikka masala "hot" which it couldn't have been further from. Besides having zero heat/spice, the sauce was actually extremely sweet. Way too sweet for my taste and compared to any other tikka masala I've ever had. It was just not balanced well with the acid from the tomatoes as it should be. This made the garlic naan the highlight of my meal, which was really good. I would try Namaste again, but would definitely ask for a recommendation for something that is much more savory/spicy. For people who want to try Indian, but are afraid it might be too spicy, the chicken tikka masala here would be for you.

Outrageously good food! Really incredible. Chicken tikka masala, garlic naan were incredible. I am baffled by the mixed reviews! Service was great. Seems like a lot people are upset that the food wasn't to their preferred spice level... just ask when you order, not that hard.

8.9/10 if there was one word i'd use to describe this den of wonder and possibility it's imagination. they truly bring that disney magic to life, thank you to my family and joseph smith and jesus and god thank you joseph smith again for all you do. siting off ophelai

Literally sat for 40 minutes and no one took our order. Other people that came in after us were served and we kept being told that the server would get to us soon. We left without ordering. It's too bad... I'd been looking forward to eating there for a while. I guess I'll be sticking to ordering out from Rickie's in Barre.

Each dish was so delicious! We ended our meal what the hell food coma. Some guy came in and played a bit on his guitar. You won't be disappointed if you order in or take out! Make sure you order as much as you can handle! Even the mango lassi was to die for!

Amazing authentic Indian food at a decent price. Tikka Masala is dope! Highly recommend for take out!

Delicious food! Nicely priced and friendly waitstaff! I will be back! Comes out hot and scrumptious! Looks clean!

This restaurant has exquisite Indian cuisine. Having eaten at Indian establishments in NYC and Washington D.C. I can attest to the fine good found here in Montpelier, VT. Thank you. So wonderful

I would give this place another shot. The samosa chaat was excellent, and the mango pickle was very good. The veg korma came in white gravy so sweet it tasted like kheer. No spice at all, and fairly bland. Maybe next time, I'll order the bone-in goat curry. Menu looks extensive, goat meat is bone-in, and they serve pickle. Definitely hallmarks of good Indian cuisine. Looking forward to trying a different dish there.
