Discovered this place when looking for Nepalese food and we were pleasantly surprised! It's a cute establishment with lots of room for dining in. Our take out meals were delicious and enough to share and have leftovers for the next day.

We went there for our 33d wedding anniversary. They were fully staffed, very attentive to our table and the food was excellent! Paapri Chat, Almond and Shrimp Coconut curry, and aloo paratha. Wine, beer and cocktail selection were excellent.

Wow wow wow. There aren't enough good words for Namaste Cafe in Uptown! This cute little Victorian style home turned restaurant is an urban oasis escape from the otherwise bustling Hennepin Avenue. There is a gorgeous outdoor seating area in the front of the restaurant that wraps around the left side with plently of trees and bushes to provide privacy and damped the noice of the street. There is also a relaxing water feature to enjoy. Inside you will find a small dining area with half a dozen tables and the kitchen in the back. The food is excellent. Everything sourced locally from sustainable farms and made with passion. I love their selection of the Indian street food - Chaat, as well as their curry option AND the famous Chai. For real the Chai is the best in the cities. You have to try it.

Splendid. The quality of the food really impressed me as someone who grew up eating Indian food in India. It's been 14 years since I've been to India, but Namaste Café made me feel right at home in Minnesota. The service was incredible and I really appreciated how we could take our time to look at the menu without pressure. They have a beautiful patio with outdoor seating and friendly smiles that just make it all better. Definitely will be back!

Food: stopped by for the lunch specials. I got the creamy masala chicken and I liked it a lot. I got a level 3 spice level and it wasn't too spicy. We also got the chicken roti wrap and got a level 5 spice level on that one, if you can handle your spice, a level isn't too bad. Service: it wasn't busy when we stopped by and the server spent extra time with us to explain some of the dishes and drinks to us and were overall very helpful and friendly. Ambiance: this restaurant is a house converted to restaurant and it feels very homey. That and the fact that the food is served family style makes it feel like you're dining at home. Overall, I really liked the food and ambiance, will be going back to try the other dishes!

Great food and people. Those spicy potatoes and to die for. Love palak paneer as well. Tried the vegan sandwich at the time and that was great too. Fun cocktails too!
