Came here for my 10 year anniversary, after coming once many years ago.
Lovely atmosphere with the pretty overhanging lights. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. The food was amazing and I left feeling super full.
Will definitely be coming back.
Popped in for lunch, we were the only people in, but its midweek in January so not massively unexpected.
The food was great! Really really tasty, hot, fragrant and fresh, if I'm honest, I felt it was a touch on the pricey side, but I understand the rising food and utilities costs are starting to trickle down to the customer now, they're definitely not over priced, but it's not a cheap lunch. We had a curry, a rice, a selection of breads and a Dosa, the Dosa wasn't very hot, temperature wise, not sure if this is how it's meant to be served or not.
My only gripe about the meal is that they add a 12.5% service charge on to the bill, I feel this is a bit of a liberty, especially when it's a party of 2 and we were the only guests, I was happy to tip as the service was fine, but to automatically add it to a bill leaves a bit of a sour taste.
Indisches Restaurant der etwas anderen Klasse. Viele Gerichte die exotisch und landestypisch sind die man so in vielen indischen Restaurants nicht so bekommt. Ja die Küche ist vegetarisch und ich gehöre nicht dieser Gruppe an die dies nur essen, aber es war exzellent. Außen nichts davon zu erkennen, innen schon sehr nett gemacht. Als Gruppe dort Mittags gespeist. Achtung macht erst um 12.00 auf. Da es für mich nicht immer alles verständlich war was auf der Karte stand war der Kellner um so hilfsbereiter zu erklären was es ist. Die Karte gab dann Auskunft ob das Gericht in die Kategorie mild, scharf oder Hölle einzuordnen ist. Das Essen wurde uns am Tisch als Unwissende erklärt was welche Speise ist. Wer offen ist für mal etwas anderes weg von Pizza, Pommes und Co. der ist hier richtig. Personal freundlich und preislich absolut im Rahmen von umgerechnet 12- 30€ pro Speise. Parken ist draußen möglich aber nicht gerade üppig. Wir haben paar Minuten entfernt im Parkhaus geparkt. Go Indisch sage ich nur.. Klare Empfehlung.

Indian restaurant with a difference. Many dishes that are exotic and typical of the country that you don't get in many Indian restaurants. Yes the cuisine is vegetarian and I'm not in that eat-only group, but it was excellent. You can't see anything about it on the outside, but it's very nicely done on the inside. Had lunch there as a group. Be careful, it doesn't open until 12 p.m. Since I didn't always understand everything that was on the menu, the waiter was even more helpful in explaining what it was. The card then provided information as to whether the dish could be classified as mild, spicy or hell. The food was explained to us at the table because we didn't know what each dish was. If you're open to something different from pizza, fries and the like, you've come to the right place. Staff friendly and the price is absolutely within the equivalent of 12-30€ per meal. Parking is possible outside but not exactly generous. We parked in the parking garage a few minutes away. Go Indian is all I say. Clear recommendation.
A spacious, recently refurbished vegetarian and vegan, Indian restaurant close to Norwich city centre. The food was tasty and nicely spiced with mains between £10-15, note 12.5% service charge will be added to the bill. The internal refit is nice and the waitress was excellent, very friendly and accommodating. The venue would also work for larger parties. The only things that could have been improved is no additional wait staff seemed to be there when they got busier and there is limited parking close to the restaurant, the area outside the front is for restaurant staff only. All in all an enjoyable experience.

Amazing Indian food with high quality standards, generous portions, extensive vegetarian options and gorgeous plate presentation. A bit pricey but definitely worth it.
We came late for their Sunday buffet but we had time to enjoy the various dishes and the staff were very attentive bringing us dishes they thought we'd enjoy. I was stuffed.
Next time we'll come a bit earlier to give ourselves time to savour the flavours more
We really enjoyed it, loved the food and decor. Found it was much more expensive than what we would usually pay at an indian restaurant though but it was a nice treat.
I've been to a lot of places who rave that they're veggie/vegan but can't cook worth a damn. This place has incredible plant-based food, they don't compromise on taste or quality at all. The staff are wonderful and it has a very friendly atmosphere. Our food arrived quickly and beautifully presented. The menu has a helpful key for those with special dietary requirements and all the staff were really helpful. The only thing I'd suggest is that they get filtered water so that the lovely herbal tea can really shine!
The best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to.
I haven’t visited Namaste since they moved from their first location in Opie st. I feel that I’ve missed out! The best service and food I’ve had - everything spiced to perfection.
The service was so so friendly! Manvi and team were brilliant!
Namastay village is a vegetarian restaurant with branches in the city is a gem for those who are looking for a brilliant alternative to non-vegetarian food. The restaurant offers a wide range of vegetarian dishes that are both healthy and delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant is enhanced by the melodious Indian old songs that are played in the background.
The courteous and helpful staff at the restaurant is always ready to assist customers in making their dining experience a memorable one. They are knowledgeable about the menu and can provide helpful suggestions to customers who are not sure what to order.
It is recommended that customers make a reservation before visiting the restaurant to ensure a table is available. The restaurant is popular and tends to get crowded, especially during peak hours.
The restaurant also offers a student discount, but customers must have a valid student ID card to avail of the discount. This is a great way for students to enjoy delicious vegetarian food at a discounted price.
Overall, the vegetarian restaurant with branches in the city is a great option for those who want to try something different from non-vegetarian food. With delicious vegetarian dishes, courteous and helpful staff, and a discount for students, it is a must-visit for anyone looking for a great dining experience.
Long-time takeaway-er, first-time diner-in...er (that works, right?)
This was by far, one of the best meals my partner and I have had in Norwich. The food has always been amazing when we've ordered for delivery - it's mainly through apparent laziness that we haven't made our way to the restaurant - what fools we are?! The food was fantastic. We ordered all vegan (as we do when we order online) but aside from the deliciousness, the service was next-level. Friendly, attentive and full of suggestions of their favourite dishes - it was genuinely perfect.
Whether you are vegan, vegetarian or a meat eater, you'll find it hard to be disappointed by quality of food, service and friendly atmosphere.
Will we dine in again? Yes. Will we order in so we can enjoy a curry in our pants? Yes, most definitely.
10/10, will eat again.
Amazing authentic Indian food and drink. Lovely staff. Comes very highly recomended.
Absolutely all round fantastic.
Second trip here just as good as the first last year. Even better actually!
Food was divine, lovely to have so many flavoursome veggie options for a change. Menu clear of what spice level bits were, lovely atmosphere.
As good as the food is the staff, so genuinely friendly and attentive. Really some of the loveliest I’ve experienced (and for a really reasonable price too!)
Will absolutely come back! thanks for having us :)
Visited Namaste Village with my wife after googlong somewhere vegan friendly to eat whilst staying in Norwich. We both love Indian food so chose here and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Service was also amazing. We would definately come here again and would recommend this place if you are vegan or vegetarian- so much choice.
Food was very good. Service excellent. The only slight criticism would be the gulabjamun dessert wasn’t the best quality but overall the experience was brilliant. Very reasonably priced too
Excellent place for foodies . It's purely a vegan restaurant and they serve delicious dishes . Recommended to whoever wants to try the Indian Cuisine with great taste . Polite Staff , peaceful Environment to enjoy the evenings .Also they have a nice dine in tables . Option to order from your door step and they deliver hot food to you to enjoy with family at home . If you want more info I am happy to share about Namaste Village Norwich .
Always a pleasure eating here, probably the best Indian Restaurant in Norwich, authentic food in wonderful setting…. Dosa me up they are epic
Sunday evening - fantastic food as always. This time, convinced meat-eating OH to come along. He’s now become a big fan! We shared the “Love to Share” platter, he then had the Chik’n masala and I had my favourite dosa. Wonderful hospitable service from Nahima 👏. Highly recommend Namaste Village, Norwich.
My favourite Indian restaurant! The food is consistently amazing, and the new menu is fantastic, particularly the vada pau, momos, and 'prawn' curry. I am not a vegetarian but this place persuaded me that I like going out for veggie food. The service is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
