Namaste Indian Kitchen - Riverside

Came here for the first time and the food was super good! Also love how authentic it is and the owners are great. Came out and asked us if we enjoyed our meal and we sure did!

We ordered three combos between the 4 of us. Two of us ordered 2 item combo and my husband and I ordered a 3 item combo to share. Each combo comes with rice and a generously sized naan. The items to choose from for the combo is not extensive, but varied enough. The service was outstanding! The food was delicious and you can see how much care the staff put in to making the food. You can watch them make it in the kitchen if you wanted to. It's a small restaurant that gives a friendly cozy vibe. Would definitely come again to try other things on the menu. We were all full by the end of the meal and satisfied with our food.

Going there is like getting hit by a bus. First of all, there is only one person working there and he is very slow. He, without telling us, went to the back and started making naan, WITHOUT USING GLOVES. He literally just scooped garlic with his fingers and put it on there. He didn?t even wash his hands. At that moment we were gonna leave but we didn?t want to be rude, big mistake. Then he put the food, took him what felt like forever, each tray at a time. There are a lot of things that can be improved for better efficiency in this restaurant. After that, we took the food, the guy was very nice and he chatted a little. The food was not hot, just warm. All the food was watered down, it didn?t have any thick texture at all. Tikka masala is always a thick sauce, here it was like water. The yogurt was the same thing, watered down and warm. The chicken was barely in there, barely a few pieces. After eating the food, we got the worst stomachache from the food, it?s one day later and I still feel horrible. I swearI think they put something in the food, like MSG or something else that?s really bad. I would definitely NOT recommend this place to anyone unless they make some major changes. They?re not honest with their food at all. I never like leaving negative reviews but the impact this place had on me compelled me to do so.

This was my third time visiting this restaurant and definitely the best,their food is fantastic and they will cook it to order all you have to do is ask, the customer service was great everything looked to be clean and sanitary if you like Indian food you should definitely go and check this place out, it is very small and quaint and definitely worth the visit?. I worry about taking food home sometimes because it doesn?t seem to taste the same as if you were to eat it inside but it was fantastic.

Great gem in Riverside for Indian food lovers. Perfect home cooked taste. Very pleased to have found them. Support them during pandemic.
