Best Indian food in Oakland

Excellent quality food. Great patio for warm days. We did take out during the pandemic but now that it is summertime it’s nice to sit outside. This spot has had large turnover, hopefully this restaurant will last! They have a lot of choices on the menu and wine and beer as well. I asked for extra spicy and it was a good level spice. Could be spicier but usually restaurants usually are hesitant in the USA.

Very good Indian food, nice customer service and everything is on time.

I am impressed with this restaurant. REALLY GOOD. The best Indian food in Oakland for sure! I am from Oakland and have high standards of food. This place blew my mind. We ordered chat, salad, Samosas and then Chicken Chili MOMO (YOU MUST TRY). It's a Nepolese dumpling, concentrated flavors. It was a wow moment for all of us. Saag chicken, Lamb, a bowl of Tikka Masala sauce just because, creamy black lentils, two Mango lassi *spectacular), The Naan was extra large. The environment was peaceful, clean and elegant. Customer service was friendly and kind. Spicy is SPICY. Get the chutney set for sure and raita. I am in love with this restaurant. I was so impressed. Very fresh food well made by the chefs. Bravo!! Thank you for existing. :)

We have fallen in love with Namastey Patio, having eaten there five times in the past two months and going tonight. The food is all wonderful, beautifully presented, generous portions and a staff (led by the owners) who go the extra distance to make every visit is special. There are so many standouts but make sure you try some of the various varieties of MoMos, one of the Nepalese specialties, Roasted Asparagus Mushroom, Bass with Mooly sauce. I could go on. And the Mint Lemonade and Mango Lassi are the best.

We tried this place out because of the transit convenient location, the open patio and the allergy-friendly menu, and it was definitely a great choice! We had multiple food allergies in our party including my best friend with celiac. There are many vegan and gluten-free items on the menu, and nonvegan items are often labeled as to whether they contain dairy or not. Nut contents seem to also be well labeled, though this did not affect us personally. All in all, the staff were confidently knowledgeable about the contents of the dishes and this made it easy and simple to order a delicious meal that met our needs. This kind of conscientious service makes it so much more pleasant and less stressful to visit a restaurant! The service was also prompt during our busy weeknight visit, which is a pretty nice feat for a new restaurant during peak dinner hour. And the mint lemonade was tasty and refreshing. Like

I live a couple blocks away and eat here almost every week if not twice. I’ve tried several things on the menu and everything I get is always very flavorful and extremely satisfying. Thank you for being a great neighborhood restaurant. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. 1
