Namaaste Highgate in Camden

Horrible experience. Manager is very unprofessional and rude. Wouldn't recommend. Don’t bring your kids here, they don’t accommodate kids and will tell you to silence your child.

The Goan sea bass, mutton curry and tandoori prawns were brilliant. All dishes were incredibly fragrant and the ingredients were clearly very fresh. I would definitely recommend Namaaste if you are looking for an Indian restaurant which excels in seafood and Goan or South Indian flavours

Me & my family decided to go Namaste on the day of Eid as well as Mother’s Day so we can try out their highly rated food, one that we were excited about cause we are big fans of Indian food. I personally gave them a call to ask for available reservations as well as if they were child friendly ( 3 under 2 children). Which they told me they’d call back to confirm this, once we got the call back we immediately made our way. Upon arrival we were seated on one of the few big tables that happened to be right in in between two other customers that were already there (bare in mind there was a big tables that was in the far corner away from others). As we were odering lady hannah kept going around and asking if they were okay but constantly avoiding as well as glaring at us which she thought we’d not realise, that already got us upset but decided to ignore. We had a lovely family on one of the table and we apologised for any inconvenience caused by the children which they politely told us that it was not a problem and we appreciate it - Hannah then proceeded to go the family to ask if they wanted to move table which they declined. As minutes passed she decided to come to our table and ask if we could make the baby be quiet. A BABY…BLOODY BABY. That was the last straw for us because a happy day that we wished to continue & have a great experience in “ great establishment “ was ruined by such customer service. The absolute unprofessionalism shown by that woman was something we’d never thought we’d have to experience let alone have to write about. She was absolutely rude and clearly shows that she doesn’t know what it’s like to keep a child at ease. This is hands down the worst customer service & experience we’d come across ! The other customers were absolutely disgusting & awful, they were really the cherry on top in this establishment. They should have never confirmed it if this the type of experience they give to families!

Excellent service from T. He made it a lovely experience for my husband's birthday and kept the kids well entertained with mini treats during our meal.

i went there with my family excited to try some indian food. we had 3 kids with us. we called before hand asking if it was baby friendly. just to have a hannah approach us to tell us if we can keep our baby quite.A BABY QUITE. we was very quickly disgusted and left. it was embarrassing

This was our first visit to Namaaste. The food was excellent with some new and exciting flavours and combinations. The service was prompt, courteous and attentive. We liked the general ambience which had a relaxed air to it. Unfortunately while we were there was an incident that seemed to get out of hand. There was a large group of young women with 3 young children. One of the infants was shrieking loudly and frequently. The restaurant was busy with a range of diners, some also with infants and young children. We observed that after a while a staff member politely approached the large group of young women requesting them to try to quieten the infant as it was disturbing to others. The group intially seemed to accept this but very soon became extremely indignant and accused the staff member of being unreasonable and stormed out. To us it was unfortunate that they chose to react in this way to what seemed a very reasonable request given the frequency of such shrill screams and its impact on others. However this one off incident has not put us off and we look forward to eating at Namaaste again.

Amazing night, full of laughs and incredible food

Shabz was our fantastic waiter and served us great food

Good time, nice food, thoroughly enjoyed our time at the restaurant

Shoutout to the best employee! SHAPS!

Nice food and nice staff. Shabs served us well

Shaapz was our server and he paid careful attention to our table. He really elevated our experience here at Namaaste. I definately recommend this restaurant. The service was exquisite.

Some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life . Thank you Shabz for being the best waiter ever. Thanks for the free birthday cake too. Love this place.

Lovely food + shaps was an excellent waiter!

We had a little party here the food was excellent , staff are very polite and nice and Manager he knew how to keep the costumer happy over all it was very nice experience thank you

Chatpatti tokari chat was amazing, Shavz was cheerful and pleasant with our order.

Had a belated birthday and anniversary meal here with my partner and we were so impressed with everything. The food was delightful! My partner has family in India and he said it’s the best Indian he’s had outside of India. The service was prompt, friendly and personal - with a candle on my cheesecake for dessert :). Our server Shabz was so lovely and fun. Will be back and would highly recommend!

Tasty food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff

Great food and atmosphere! Would definitely recommend!

Loved our meal and service with Shavz made it like being in a friend’s home. Indian food that’s a little bit more upmarket and delicious. A great night out!

Amazing food and service. Best naan bread i’ve ever had!! Sabir was so lovely as was all of the staff!

There isn't anything I can fault with my experience here. The best naan bread I have ever tasted. Will definitely be visiting again.

Shavz looked after us wonderfully and the food was great. He helped us celebrate our birthdays

Shavz , Rose, Vicky Dreams comes true wonderful service!💜

A friendly restaurant with wonderful food and great service from Shabz rose and hannah Always a delightful experience

Excellent food, would recommend the chicken lollipops we had for starters. Attentive & friendly service

Delicious food. Shabz was a great host

Excellent food and I enjoyed it a lot and feel like eating in India Good service Thank you Hari

Lovely restaurant were we play once a year for Valentines day. The pub is absolutely gorgeous, let's talk about the food... I simply love it.

we loved all the dishes we ate. They were tasty and original. Frank and balanced flavors. very nice discovery!

Food was excellent; service relatively quick. Atmosphere was ok Shabz was extremely helpful.

great food and service. Shabbs very entertaining

We had a great evening here, food was amazing and received lovely service from Shavz. Will definitely be coming again

So delicious! I would especially recommend the samosa chaat which was so flavourful and delicious. All the dishes felt very authentic (with limca and thums up on the drinks menu!) and had the perfect level of spice. The interior was also gorgeous, with a lovely and sophisticated pink and green theme. Great service and they even gave us a couple of extra chocolates as well as offering to take a whole-family photo for us when they saw me taking a picture of my parents. Super friendly wait staff who were very attentive and wiped down the table between every course!

Hannah assisted us throughout our stay in the restaurant. It was a lovely experience. She was really helpful and amiable. Very professional staff. We felt fully content and Joyous.

Wood quality food and very friendly and nice team, special thanks to Shabz for his warm hospitality.

Delicious food and wonderful service as always. Highly recommend. Our favourite local curry house!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommend See you soon

Wonderful food and service. Rich spicy authentic Indian food. Highly recommend!

Love Namaste. Great food & great service. Fantastic as always 👌

Beautiful decor, great service by the incredibly friendly, jovial and efficient Shavz and T, delicious food and drinks. An excellent place for Indian food in the area!

Shavz served us with great humour and great food

Delicious and pleasant experience from start to finish. Mr T is the best

Highly recommend Namaste. Fantastic food, lovely service and great atmosphere. An elegant Indian restaurant, I’ll definitely be back.

Mr T was an excellent waiter, made a birthday celebration really special. Great food as always!

Brilliant evening, great food and service. Highly recommended

Really delicious food, great service. Shavz was brilliant. 🤩

We had a fantastic evening at Namaaste! The food was absolutely delicious, we tasted so many different dishes. The service was top-notch—attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. A special mention to Mr. T, who made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Highly recommend!

Very warm welcome and very good restaurant

Mr. T was a great bar tender and server. Great food. Would recommend the squid masala and portobello appetizers were amazing!

The portions were really generous and the food incredibly tasty! We had some samosas for starters and let me tell you, the presentation was very nice and they came with garnish and it was delicious. For mains we had Lamb Shank Nihari, which was a huge leg of lamb with sauce and spices that it took me a while to finish but it was worth every second. My girlfriend had Idli Samber, which is some rice bread with a lentil puree that is very tasty and she finished in no time! Overall we had a great experience, waiting time was very short, Mr. T gave us an excellent service and we ate really well. We will definitely come back here! Really recommend it!

Mr. T was an amazing host. Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere! See you again soon!!

Food was excellent, touch on the spicy side so come prepared. Service was very attentive and courteous. Atmosphere was a bit dead as we were the only table in the place but maybe too early in the evening.

Mr T was very friendly and the food was mostly alright.

Amazing experience! Tee was very helpful.

The food and service were outstanding

T was such a lovely waiter and found us a nicer table without us even asking. Music not too loud and tables not too close together. Wonderful service and great food at a decent price. 100% would return.

We were WELL taken care of by T from start to finish. AMAZING experience.

Awesome experience, would go again

Great food, great service and best taste. All mains and desert are absolutely fantastic. But will have to try the starters. Incentive for next time. Thank you for this experience.

Love it here . Great food , brilliant cocktails and lovely staff xxx

Very good , welcoming and tasty

We had lunch and it was very nice Had the lollipop chicken very spicy and nice Partner had chicken tikka masala

Fabulous food- wonderful service

Food is never bought out in time, half of the order is wrong and over 1 hour waiting to eat. Even worse on Deliveroo

Disappointed after reading other reviews. NYD visit may have played a significant part. Staff drafted in from other restaurants to run this restaurant. Food was not the greatest of quality, but edible. The menu production team should consider fantasy book writing. Either an off day due to time of year or previously easily pleased diners.

Very disappointed by the whole experience! Freezing cold in here only one small electric radiator and half the lights on ! The food is NOT freshly cooked but heated up !! I asked for spicy food the answer was we can give you spice after?? I want it cooked with if ?so I said oh the food is heated up then No was the answer we cook from fresh .. Really when the dish arrived in 10 mins HARDLY And to top it all 12.5 service charge 🎈🤨 This restaurant is not good the decor looks good but that’s it .Dont be fooled People were leaving when I was there as the coldness was unacceptable when I got home I had to put the heating on 24 degrees pajama and dressing gown electric radiator and a hot bath !🤷‍♀️took 6 hours to get warm after this miserable experience! Shame on you for being SO mean not to keep your customers warm and lying about the freshness plus not catering for Vegans when it states you DO !!

Great atmosphere and great service to go with delicious food.

We always have a delicious meal here - faultless

Quiet Sunday evening. Great food. Great service

A brilliant restaurant, with wonderful waiters and waitresses! Very much recommend!

Delicious food and great service

It’s Shame that even today we face discrimination, and ironically by one of yours. Staff was absolutely terrible. No hygine , if you are Asian and looking for good Indian food please never go there you might be treated as you can’t afford to seat in their restaurants. We went for dinner after booking and first response we got was while standing at door that we gonna be close soon with disgusting look from one of the staff. Later while being seated no one care to give us the menu card, my friend has to get it from bar counter top . Still no one was coming to us even to take order. Same man was loitering around in empty space. Such a poor service after ordering food. They were not even looking at us in fear that we might ask millions from them. If you are in hospitality business you must maintain hygiene . But that was missing too as they were having dirty uniforms on even when they came to take our order. It’s not like that they don’t know all this things sad part is we could see all this basic etiquette of hospitality shown to others because they are not brown. But we are brown so they are least bothered to even consider as customer. Fish was absolutely tasteless and not cooked properly. But lamb was good and you could experience the different flavours. We were so disappointed that we didn’t even feel like taking picture of food.

Lovely food and staff - a local recommend

Brilliant place, really yummy food and they looked after us so well. A big thank you to Viktoria and the team for everything.

Lovely small plates and great service! The chicken was delicious

Wasn’t in the mood for Indian food But here we came and it was good! So good, in fact That it’s possible I will be back!

Visited this restaurant twice and on both occasions, found it disappointing for the quality of food, way overpriced and poor value for money. Among the other dishes ordered, the salmon tandoori tasted like boiled salmon with the curry sauce over it (a quicker way to cook I guess, but that’s not salmon tandoori) and the 3 papadoms we ordered looked like 1 and half papadoms all broken into pieces! On another occasion, masala chips was chips with masala sauce over it. Proper masala chips are seasoned with masala spices and only then fried. Again, another way they have cut corners. The second time we were there for a takeaway, we waited at least like 10 minutes until someone came to give us a menu, even though there were 3 or 4 people behind the counter. After we got the menu, not even a minute had passed, the waitress came to get our order. She also came very quickly with the card machine. Poor quality of food, way overpriced for portion size, slow service yet they want to get your money quickly. I think most people who think this restaurant is good, really don’t know what good quality Indian food is like.One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Definitely not going here again. Kipling’s further up the road in Highgate Village is the best Indian restaurant in Highgate.

Food was great, have been to both the Highgate and Camden restaurants and haven’t found an issue yet. 100% be back

Very nice food, great service. We will come back.

Such a lovely place with really tasty food. The servers were helpful too! The vibe of the restaurant is cozy. It is also halal certified.

This is a local place for us and we absolutely love it, varied menu, loads of vegetarian options, delicious food at a reasonable price, friendly and quick service, would highly recommend!

Great service, delicious food, friendly atmosphere.

The food was very tasty, traditional flavours I have not before tasted, the service was great very attentive, overall I would highly recommend

Great twist on the traditional cuisine with really nice service - thank you!

Delicious food and very friendly service

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere!

One of the BEST Indian food I've had in my life. Amazing place!

Delicious food with an unusual menu.

Excellent food and everyone working was really nice and welcoming. Will definitely be back. 👍🏼

Great food and great service! Delicious! Lovely staff and atmosphere, a must visit.

Food was amazingly good! Also great portions so was given a take away box to take the rest home. We had cocktails & mockails and they were 10/10

Good service menu and reasonably priced recommended

Namaaste is a lovely, comfortable and welcoming restaurant. It’s the fifth time I have been and each time the food has been excellent. Interesting food and well cooked and presented. The waitress is lovely and I should have asked her name. Thank you for your wonderful service. I will be back.

Delicious food, the date naan, the paneer with walnuts, all the dishes we tried were delicious. Really intriguing menu. And the service was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Amazing menu, loads of vegan options. Particularly recommend the vegan tikka masala!

Delicious food and lovely service! Warm and friendly.

Excellent food, fantastic service; highly recommended for great Indian dining away from the traditional curry house.

Wonderful evening, great selection of dishes and all the staff were lovely and very attentive. The vegan salted caramel ice cream was delicious too!

Excellent evening and food was delicious. Would highly recommend here .
