Namaste - Taste Of India

I felt like I should update my review. It's been a while since we've been but this place serves lovely homemade Indian food. The owner is very welcoming and the shop is nice and quirky. Old review... Decided to try this new place for lunch. It serves a variety of Indian food. The food looked nice but 50 min wait to get a tiny samosa starter and our drinks is not great. Another item I ordered did not arrive by the time I had to go which was more than an hour later from the time we made an order. :-( Left feeling hungry and angry as needed to be somewhere else and could no longer wait for my food. We've been told we would have to wait about 15-20 minutes for our food which was misleading to start with as we waited more than an hour for all our order to arrive and the place was empty when we came.

Enjoyed the take away curries and the sweets. It was worth driving from Newcastle to Whitley Bay. Thanks google for the recommendation of local shop for Indian takeaway. Will order & collect in future as well. Hope to give Dine-in a go once lockdown is over. That was a very lovely & beautiful smile please keep it up always, you sure made our evening. Thank you very much.

We were totally delighted with our recent visit to Namaste Taste of India. We received a warm welcome and the owner instantly made us feel comfortable. What makes this lovely and homely place different from other Indian restaurants is certainly the food which is close to authentic Indian food and the fact that you can browse through all the different Indian products for sale. I was impressed when the owner spent time with us describing a few of those items and how they are hand picked and sourced from various places. There are so many nice artefacts and food items that you don't get to see in supermarkets. For all those who want to get a true flavour of India in a quick local visit, this place should definitely be on you to do list. It was a very homely and wonderful experience and we will certainly visit very soon.
