Namaste is a full service Indian Restaurant located in North Scottsdale Arizona. They offer variety of Indian dishes. They offer the popular North and South Indian Dishes. They also offer some Hyderabad and Pakistani dishes. You can get soft beverages and some alcohol here, You can also find beef dishes here too!
They offer traditional tables and some booths for seating. You might notice a buffet in the right side of the lower picture. (at this time June 2022) the buffet is not in use.
There are hand paintings around the restaurant that tell the story of the Taj Mahal.
When you decide what you want. They ask you your heat preference. You can pick mild, medium, hot, or chef hot (chef hot is molten hot!) We think hot is really perfect here…It does make our noses run but the food is delicious. It’s the most flavorful Indian foods that we have tried so far. Our first meals here were from the buffet. Everything we tried was very flavorful and delicious but to please most people they didn’t put out anything spicy on the buffet. At this time they discontinued buffet service because of the recent sharp increases in food cost.
Anyways.
We came back to try other things.
We tried possibly three delicious appetizers so far.
onion bhaji (if you like crispy onions then you will love this)
Aloo tikki choley (choley are spicy chickpeas)
samosa choley (this was full of all kinds of flavors) (we ordered samosa choley…..But they do look like the aloo tikka choley above??????? whatever these are they are incredibly delicious)
We also tried several of the naan that are offered. They are always delicious and fresh made to order. Here’s the garlic chile naan.
Some of the entrees we tried were –
take out – beef vindaloo
achari fish masala, kadai chicken masala, cumin rice
fish curry (spicy highly seasoned tomato gravy…..This was the best fish curry that I’ve ever had), cumin rice, chile chicken (like an Indian chicken cacciatore…..we previously tried this dish in chef hot and that was too hot for us….
Every single dish that we’ve tried at Namaste was delicious and full of flavor. The chicken meals were also masterfully moist. I’m so happy they they don’t dull the food here. Service has also been consistently good.
I have to say Namaste Restaurant in Scottsdale is Worth a Fork!
