Was in the area & finally stopped in just before the dinner hour, so the selections were hot & freshly made A good variety to choose from, but some choices were better than others. The lamb vindaloo was a bit too salty in my opinion, so I didn't finish my serving. But the butter chicken was good: tender, flavorful pieces of white chicken.For those interested, they also had a goat dish available; lamb is my favorite though.I had not paid close attention that there were sauces: mint, tamarind & rialta were at the cold case next to the soda dispenser along with some basic salad choices.There were 2 large steamers of rice, of which one was flavored & the other white basmati, which is my fave so I had 2 servings of: it was delicious! There were carafes of ice water available to help yourself upon self-seating. The veggie samosas were just ok- some of the dough inside at the seams was thick and a bit chewy. I'm thinking that rather than to return here, as I would give this location just 3.5 stars if possible due to ambiance & lack of great customer service- that I may try the other location instead.

Oct 13th was my first visit to the establishment. My friend and I were seated immediately and drink orders taken quickly. I was not sure what to expect but my friend explained the selections and they also had signs above each dish describing the meat, sauce and ingredients. The service was excellent and the ice tea was freshly brewed that day. I had to hunt down a server for sweetener as there was none on the table and she happily provided a full container that featured a variety of sweeteners. (A big thank you to those of us that can't use sugar)There was also a wide variety of mains that covered most meats you can think of; chicken, fish and goat (my favorite). Upon choosing my dishes I observed the buffet being restocked with fresh food frequently. My favorite was buttered chicken but unfortunately even that selection was far too spicy for me. And I was looking so forward to the goat but it was far too spicy to take a bite as the sauce was too hot. So I was only able to eat a little chicken, 2 pieces of Nan bread and iced tea which is fine, but not worth the buffet price of $20. Maybe I will order off the menu next time to see if there are less spicy versions of their food. My friend ate two plates and had no concerns whatsoever with the level of spice.

Worst Indian food I have ever eaten. It was all horrible, many things covered in some strange yellowing coating. Curried cauliflower was mush. Bread was stale and bland. My butter chicken could have been anything, anything at all. They do have an impressive number of mains including goat and that's generally a good sign/ just not this time.It's around $20.00 per person for a buffet so around 40.00 for two. Food so bad that neither of us could be convinced to try a second round. And, if you really want a reason to avoid this place- glance at the air intake screen over the entry to the restroom- coated with some nasty black gunk. Ummm, nope.

The price is right and the food was pretty good! Personally loved the mango soft serve for dessert. I enjoyed the chicken samosa as well. It was a bit difficult to tell exactly what was what in the buffet but all was decent. With the 3-star rating my expectations were low. I would come back. The variety and price point can't be beat for a quick lunch. You can smell the aroma as you approach. There's ice water to help yourself. You ring up after you've eaten with the cashier. Over all a pleasant experience, I just wouldn't expect to have your mind blown flavor wise.

I tried to offer my gf an Indian cuisine experience in Eugene OR and it paled in comparison to what I have experienced having lived in San Diego as well as Namaste several years ago (pre-pandemic. We drove up from Eugene and arrived for dinner and were seated close to the buffet line as I am dealing with a knee injury. The exterior is non-descript which I found to a wonderful juxtaposition from the plethora of amazing aromatic notes we encountered as soon as we opened the doors to this restaurant. My GF thought the ginger chicken was the best chicken dish she'd ever had and I was very fond of the Palak Paneer (sentimental dish for me that was perfectly executed here) but the Mango Chili chicken had me going back up for several repeat visits to that entree. That was spot-on culinary perfection - just enough heat to makes its presence known but not overpowering against the mango flavor both played very well against moist chicken. Their chicken Tikka Masala is also seriously legit. The Jasmine rice lended itself to be a great bed for the different entrees and a means to sop up the different delightful sauces and further enjoyed with fresh nan which came out fresh constantly (LOVED THAT!!!).I have upped my home cooking skills during the pandemic and have become very adept at homemade raviolis. various pastas, smoked meats/bbq and numerous other ethnic cuisines. These dishes I am perfectly ok leaving to the pros and will gladly take the drive up north to experience again. To the Owner and chefs @ Namaste - thank you for an exquisite meal that allowed me to show my GF what proper Indian Cuisine is like. She's enamored with your food as am I.

We had the butter chicken, a Paneer, and garlic Naan. From the Naan to the chicken it all tasted food service grade. If you wanted to describe vending machine Indian food, this would be it.The Naan wasn't crisp, lacked flavor, I would bet not made but bought through a food service, and is disappointing. Same with the chicken. The chicken had a strong, processed flavor about it. Nothing here impressed me

It started off a little rocky we ordered over the phone when we picked up the order it was all wrong it was actually for someone else. So we made a call got nowhere. So we had to go back and then we received the correct order about $70 in food. Go inside and have a meal.

If I could rate this place zero stars, I would. How are they still open? Ordered the chicken tikka masala--the meat was questionable, the sauce was watery and just lacked traditional Indian spice and flavor. Save yourself from the disappointment

A real gem! We enjoyed a delicious dinner buffet -- the food was fresh and tasty, and just-cooked naan was brought to our table, too. Great selection of meat and veggie options. The staff was very friendly, and we felt welcomed. We'll be back!
