Namaste Chicago

AMAZING Indian food. I'll admit I don't have a lot to compare Namaste to because I haven't tried many Indian restaurants, but if this is your first time trying Indian food I would say Namaste will give you a great first impression. I was very impressed!!!!! A group of my friends and I ordered so many things - butter naan, spicy naan, garlic naan, veggie samosas, veggie momo, chana masala, paneer tikka masala, ghosh biryani, chicken tikka masala, mixed spicy Indian pickles and rice. Overall, our favorites were the paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. Everyone thought the paneer tikka masala (which comes with cheese instead of meat) was better than the chicken one, so I would not skip this dish. I could drink the tikka masala sauce that came with both of them, it was so good. I poured it all over the naan and rice we got. We also all agreed the the garlic naan was the best out of all of them. The other two didn't have strong flavors and were more plain than the garlic naan. I loved the chana masala and samosas a lot too. The chana masala was just chickpeas cooked in some sort of tomato sauce with a bunch of spices. It was very simple, but so flavorful and delicious. To be honest, I don't even know what came on the samosas, but they reminded me of an Indian version of nachos and I loved them so much. The spicy Indian pickles were very interesting. They were not my favorite and I would not advise getting them. They had a very strong flavor that completely took over the flavor of everything else you ate them with. No one was really a fan of the ghosh biryani either - one of my friends said the lamb in it was good, but overall it was too oily and salty. I can't wait to order from here again to try more things!!!!!

Stopped on a weeknight for dinner. We were seated right away and the food was hot as there were only a couple tables filled. We ordered Gobi Manchurian but wasn't impressed this time. It wasn't crispy like they made it last time, but still had good flavor. The chicken makhani was good delicious and spicy. The Matar paneer was so so good. The spicy naan is spicy for sure. Highly recommend these dishes!Overall, good food!

Still stellar! We have ordered takeout from Namaste upwards of 10 times at this point and they have never disappointed. It's always flavorful and when we order our food spicy, it is actually spicy. Was beginning to think there was no good Indian food in Chicago before we found this place. They rock!

food was good, ambiance was ok...it was uncomfortably warm (and i'm always cold). my friends ordered dal, saag paneer, samosas and naan/rice to share. we asked for recommendations/advice on portions and dishes and the server didn't really have anything to offer... we had ordered 2 orders of samosas since there were three of us and she put in the order wrong and when we questioned it, never followed up so we just let it pass. food was good but i'm not sure if the service colored my dining experience overall?

The food here is delicious! Everything was fresh and they were very generous with their portions as well. Highly recommended!

This is a solid Indian spot in Logan Square. Since we ordered out, we didn't really get to fully experience the ambiance of the place. The people at the front counter were very friendly and triple checked that we had all parts of our order. Butter chicken: such a velvety rich flavor and I preferred this over the chicken tikka masala. Both were very tasty thoughWe also has samosas which had a nice kick and weren't super heavy. The garlic naan did the damn thing, like garlic naan tends to do.We also ordered some palak paneer which was super flavorful and I would definitely order it again. All in all pretty good portion sizes. I'll definitely go back

We recently moved in the neighborhood and decided to try the Indian place down the street. Nice, cozy and comfortable ambience! We got a complimentary pappadum with chutneys. We ordered the veg vindaloo and chicken tikka masala along with tandoori roti and garlic naan. The curries tasted amazing and were the right spice level for ordering spicy food. The naan and roti were very well done and tasted awesome. We will be back soon!

Stopped in for an early lunch, 11:30. We were the only folks in the dining room. The service was prompt. We had the vegetable mo-mos, palak paneer and vegetable jalfrezi. All were hot and delightful. Very tasteful and pleasing decor. Dining room and restroom were very clean. We'll definitely be back.

Amazing ambience, decor, loved the chandelier. Quaint, not a lot of tables that's why reservation is necessary. They do a fantastic takeout as I was there and I know why. Server, host, everybody was very attentive.I had enough to bring some home and it's just like I'm right back in the restaurant. The lamb Samoa's without a doubt, hands-down I've never had such amazing Samoa's Then they have the sauce, tamarind, mint sauce, and then the spicy one that they serve. Cannot go wrong in this restaurant. Chicken Thali, just so good.

Paneer masala with butter naan was easily all I thought about for an entire week after I had it for the first time. I waited desperately for enough time to pass to let myself order it again. Fresh and full of flavor. Ordered for delivery. Only complaint is price. Almost $20 for a small soup container worth of deliciousness is almost criminal.
