Reviewed 5 December 2021 via mobile

I took my Mum to Namaste Village today for lunch and we both loved our meals and the restaurant. We’re both vegetarians and it was a real treat to go somewhere with such a diverse menu we could choose from. The restaurant is very colourful...and large with high ceilings, there are good spaces between the tables, the staff all wore masks and we felt very safe with Covid. We ordered the mixed sharing platter for a starter and everything was delicious. We both especially loved the aloo bonda. For our main courses my mum had the vegetable labbabdar and she described it as delicious, full of vegetables and creamy. I had the chilli paneer and it was flavoursome and gorgeous. We were too full for desserts but we had a masala chai each and they were beautiful. The restaurant has the option to add £4 to your bill and they donate a free meal to anyone in need. We chose to buy a meal each and we put a sign in the window so that anyone passing by who’s hungry knows that they can go in and have a free hot meal. I love this idea of paying it forward and we will definitely go to Namaste Village again very soon. Delicious food, lovely staff, wonderful kindness and ethos.More

Really enjoy eating here!!! Hands down the best place for Indian food, it’s just a bonus that it’s all vegetarian/vegan. I come here with my family and they all eat meat, but have no issue here because the flavours speak for themselves! I’ve never had...a bad experience at Namaste, everyone is so lovely and so kind and the food is just delicious! They’ve recently renovated the place as well and it looks fantastic! Can’t wait to come backMore

This was our first visit, we were very excited to see so many Vegan options and such glowing reviews. We started with Papadams and pickle tray for 4 people. The pickle was so runny/ drippy it made the papadams soggy. We asked the waiter and...he explained that they added water! we were then bought another tray of non- watered down which was ok. We had the Buffalo cauliflower and onion Bhajis plus a love to share platter for starters which we were told were made in a different kitchen to the mains. These were great, fresh, crispy, spicy and nicely presented. For our mains we had the Lamb Rogan, Chick n Jalfrezi, and Veg Labbabdar. Every dish looked and tasted the same, no sign of authentic Indian cuisine or the best fresh ingredients, it seems that one sauce fits all! A take- out from Iceland pinged in the microwave would have been more exciting and tasty. If it hadn't been for the great starters and the friendly service I would have only given 2 stars. Beware also that there is a 12.5% service charge added we were told that this is optional but it is in very smallprint.More

Lovely food, wish restoration inside was done as it’s not pleasant eating environment . Also the parking a nightmare ! pay for car park is always full over the road and when you have such signage on front of building ( at restaurant) from owners...stating you cannot park outside on the property it’s very off putting to the point … I’ll go elsewhere then .More

I'd say it took us quite some time to figure out the questions section of our listing. Not being tech friendly is not the way forward I guess :) For the question, yes we do accept all cards, except AmEx
