Namaste Nepal in Manchester

The food was not as tasty as usual and it was cold

The food from Namaste always of the highest standard and delivered quickly.

We'd never eaten Nepali before so we had to give it a go. Can't remember the names of the dishes we had, but they are Nepali classics, from the page opposite the Chef Specials. Tandoori chicken in lamb mince was excellent, as was the chicken thingie at the the bottom of the same page. Mixed starter was excellent. Washed down with an excellent IPA and a bottle of Giddy Goose. And the staff were lovely

Bit disappointed in our visit to Namaste Nepal given it is well rated. Some of the food was good, like c-momos (really spicy) but some of the curries were a little underwhelming. We ordered the tandoori chicken karahi and the kantipur methi as they were all highlighted as favourites. The kantipur methi in particular was really bland. The plain paratha was also a little disappointing as it tasted a bit raw still. The service was also a little odd, it was relatively punctual but not that friendly/smiley, didn’t get offered clean cutlery between starter and mains, I could also see we weren’t alone in struggling to get someone’s attention to pay!

I didn't pay 12.50 for a bag of bones

The food here is INCREDIBLE! The service is lovely and the staff are so kind. This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Manchester and cannot recommend it enough

Ordered for the first time today and feel ripped off. Lamb Bhuna was 80% chunky mushroom filler. This Bhuna was £11.50 and was served in a half sized tray, so it was already a smaller than average portion size at a cost superceding competitors. Taste did not make up for it either as non remarkable, sundries were overinflated in price too and again, the taste didnt warrant the price. Would not order again or recommend this place.

The food was amazing. Very nice staff and a tastefully decorated restaurant. The seafood platter starter was lovely, full of flavour and plenty for two. The Nepalese curry was also excellent and all portions were huge. We have not been before and would definitely come back. Would Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant went with a family of six . Menu had enough to choose from. We had the chicken passant. Chicken balti chicken tikka masala chicken shashlick and tandoori mixed grill with Bombay potatoes pilau rice and naan bread. Food was so tasty and the portion size was enough plus 6 drinks £124 which was worth the money . Toilets clean and upstairs . Down side lack of parking

Nepalese food, delicious, cheap, come here, Kaeng people.

My favourite restaurant! Staff are very friendly, food is amazing. I have taken many of my friends here and they all, without exception, share my opinion.

I ordered from Namaste Nepal via Deliveroo on August 1, 2024, excited to try their Chicken Momos, Egg Fried Rice, Karahi Tandoori Chicken, Onion Kulcha, and Garlic Naan. The food arrived on time and looked appetizing, but unfortunately, a few hours after eating, my family and I started feeling unwell. We all experienced food poisoning, which was incredibly disappointing and concerning. While the flavors were decent, the experience left us sick and worried about the food quality. I won’t be ordering from Namaste Nepal again and would advise others to be cautious.

Ordered a Lamb Passanda but got a Chicken Passanda

Food was quite nice but left me with a bad stomach the next day. The service was okay but the waiter was rude asking for extra money for a tip. In reply to your comment, I only had a bad stomach later on after I had left so I could not inform you of this, also with the waiter asking for a bigger tip I didn't want to cause him any problems with management, I will be coming back for the food for sure as it was lovely, I will update my review to reflect the next meal. Thank for you replying.

Amazing food and the service was great! Super friendly staff and helpful :)

Our go to spot on Burton Road. I adore this dinner spot and have got to know the staff. Super friendly, amazing team which gorgeous food. My partner and I pop in for dinner once a month or when we can. Slightly higher price point than just going out for a pizza etc but absolutely worth it. £20-£25 a head will get you an amazing meal.

Paid £30 for child protection that’s not even nice ordered chicken tikka masala and find know what I received DISGUSTING

It was absolutely delicious! Accidentally got roti instead of our pashwari naan. But it was all wonderful and delivery was great!

What more can you ask for than excellent food and excellent service? Don't bother with any other curry house on Burton Road. This one is the best.

Amazing restaurant - food was delicious and the service was brilliant. We were first sat at the back of the restaurant but the waiter then very kindly took us to the front once a table became available as it was "much better ambiance" and it was! We enjoyed everything about our visit and we will definitely be coming again.

Tarka dal was spicier than normal, but this was a good thing

I have only eaten in the restaurant a couple of times as I usually order food for delivery. It is always prompt and excellent quality food. The portions are massive and a main + rice + starter each will stretch for two meals each, which explains the fact it is a little more expensive than its peers.

Delicious food and filled our needs perfectly ♡♡

The staff at Namaste Nepal restaurant provided exceptional service, with attentive and friendly waitstaff who ensured a delightful dining experience, complemented by delicious authentic Nepalese cuisine that left a lasting impression; highly recommended for anyone seeking a taste of Nepal's culinary delights Will come back soon

Delicious well cooked dishes. Extremely tasty and reasonably priced. Welcoming owner and staff.

The roti was missing, so I got a refund.

Food was great and they were very helpful and understanding with my husband's dairy allergy.

Nice place, manager served us and he was very kind with suggestions on what to get. I preferred getting the curries over the chef specials as they were saucier and matched better with the rice/naans. The rice portions are huge and was nice to see compared to other Nepalese/indian restaurants that give a much smaller portion. Overall decent experience!

Ordered a king prawn bhuna for delivery and I think there were 2 prawns cut up - that makes me really mad because it wasn't cheap and it wasn't good 😡

I booked a table for the restaurant well in advance, thinking we would have the table for at least 1.5 hours. As soon as we finished our mains (50 minutes in), our plates were taken away and we were handed the bill, without even being offered dessert or another drink. My partners beer was taken away before he had finished it. The card machine was then brought over immediately after and we were told we needed to leave because people were waiting. We were disappointed to be rushed out after only 50 minutes, and won’t be returning.

Foods amazing, flavourful, juicy, great quality! Lots of choice and everything's very tasty Service is good and fast Suprisingly cheap

all the meat was solid, burnt and dry like it had been sat it the tray for a day then put under a grill to warm before sending out to me. I wouldn't think of giving someone food like that. The momos were ok edible at least.

Another Burton Road establishment, and one of the two Nepalese curry houses competing for attention locally (the other being the Great Kathmandu). To be clear, both are fantastic, and I've never had a bad experience at either, but Namaste's always felt a little bit more "up market"? Not in the sense of pricing, both are very reasonable, excellent value for money, with a delicious selection of regional specialities, plus all the regular curry styles one used to find down the curry mile. Maybe it's just the decor. In any case, if you're in the mood for curry, this is a solid choice! At the time of writing, their online menu is, annoyingly, a broken link but the "order online" section of their site looks similar to the menu we ordered from in-house. Personally, I would recommend the Namaste Kofta Makhanwala, with Paratha and rice!

It's not authentic nepalese food as they claim it to be. The food is bad ordered kothey momo got fried momo Misleading menu Service was just as bad

Ate here with a colleague and it was a wonderful experience. Proper Nepali momos to start followed by main courses of flavoursome, generous cooking. The dishes were not overwhelmed with clumsy spicing but were balanced, subtle and delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive; the atmosphere was great. What a gem of a place. I'll definitely return.

We ordered the momos, lamb chops and nepali crispy chicken. The chicken was juicy and full of flavour. The lamb chops were a disappointment, it didn’t have the usual charred flavour and it was a bit grainy rather than tender texture. The momos is a must order just because it’s an authentic starter to order. For the mains we ordered lamb kahari, fish balti and kantipur methi. My favourite was the lamb kahari, full of flavour and the lamb was tender. My least favourite is the kantipir methi, it’s quite pricey for what you get, not much meat in it and the flavour was lacking. I did also enjoy the fish balti as the fish pieces were still in tact, whereas some places make it like all mushy and just not as great. Generous portions of rice too, the garlic naan was fluffy and fresh.

Probably one of the worst food we had in Manchester. Starting with Lassi it was too bad we had to return. Starters also too bland , and main course was equally awful. Not sure why this restaurant has 4+ rating. Wont recommend

Delayed our food and lassi was the worst I’ve ever had

From walking into the restaurant we were looked after , very polite staff and happy to chat to you . Starters, mains all very tasty and not rushed. Although travelled about 40 mile round trip, it was well worth it. Highly recommended

Gave 5 for the atmosphere because I didn’t dine in. Although I’m glad I didn’t eat in because the food was awful and it wouldn’t have been a waste of time and money. Don’t understand why this is so highly rated on the apps because it was one of the worst meals we’ve had. The Onion Pakoda and chips were freezing. The Masala King Prawn curry was not a Masala at all. Masalas are made with cream/yoghurt. This was brown curry and seemed more like a mild Karahi than anything. The Garlic Nan bread is stuffed with huge slices of garlic, which seems lazy and is unappetising. The best part of the meal was the pilau rice. It was the only item that was hot and seemed fresh. That says it all. I’ve eaten here before and didn’t like it but thought I’d give it another go because it could have been an off night and all the reviews seem positive. Wish I’d gone with my instinct. Waste of money.

it was more like masala momo than C momo. New taste to try.

Was slightly apprehensive visiting after reading reviews but had no need to worry. Nice warm restaurant and welcome staff. Good varied menu. Food was good, chicken slightly dry which let it down but best Naan bread we've had. ?Pani Puri (photo) delicious! Reccomend giving it a try

Enjoyed a lovely meal there last weekend

Fantastic as always ,great curry's evertime, staff fab ,also great new referb looks great .

There was half of the order missing, and when we rang the restaurant there was apparently nothing they could do very unimpressed.

over priced. you can get better stuff from a take away, don't order from this restaurant as it's too expensive. cold food when it arrived, super average stuff

Visited December 2023: First time here - Super food, great atmosphere and service. Leaves many restaurants standing.

Good food ! Service is not that great !

Food was great, gave it 4 stars instead of 3 because they had halal options, well-seasoned, service was good, but over all it was kind of over-priced, the main jalfrezi was 10.5 but came without rice, costed another 2/3 quid for rice, which wasn't too bad tbf. There were 4 us and they bought out pappadum's for us (2 small ones each) and it cost 14 quid for that, thought that was a rip off considering other places it either comes complementary or significantly cheaper, I asked why it was priced so high and they claimed it was as it came with the 4 small sauces and the little mini cup of chopped onions, still not worth 14 quid for just pappadum's... Mango lassi was only 2.95 but the cup was extremely small. Went on a Sunday night so parking was easy to find nearby.

Good food and good humour! Although it was a busy Friday night, we were served in good time. Everything - chicken Karahi, Korma, spinach dish - was copious and beyond tasty. Looking forward to our next visit!

This restaurant is freezing cold it's a health and safety hazard Disgraceful don't come here if you want a relaxing meal.

Food was average (it might have been better in a warm climate) This restaurant was like sitting in a fridge the central heating did not work. It should have been shut - you’ve lost me as a customer I’ve been going in for 4”10* years

This restaurant is freezing cold literally came out shivering 12.9degrees on my phone thermometer

The food was as good as always but why bother letting people preorder food if it doesn’t get delivered at that time. Seems like the restaurant didn’t even *start* preparing my food until after the originally agreed delivery time.

Chicken bhuna v tasty but a little cold cos it took 90 mins to deliver (was originally told it’d take 40 mins or so). Chips soggy and v cold.

Usually I really like this place but I changed my order tonight and ordered the chef special masala for 15.50. I received my curry in a starter tin. More expensive than my usual dish and half the size and honestly left me feeling robbed.

Very polite staff and great food, very happy with my experience

Great food and service. We had loads of starters and shared a range of curries between 5 of us. All the food was perfect, and the naan breads were off the planet. Thanks so much guys, we will be back soon !

Dd was awesome she was so kind she showed the nepali vibes to us and had a nice conversation and food was awesome and the service do visit please when you are on Manchester thanks

I tried this restaurant food with my family last night. It is a nice, cosy and good restaurant where the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly. We came down from London and were looking to try Nepalese food yesterday and stumbled upon this restaurant on the internet. Highly recommended!

We have always enjoyed a delicious meala warm welcome and good service at Namaste Nepal. This evening we enjoyed all the lovely food and service in the newly refurbished restaurant too! Without doubt the best restaurant on the infamous Burton Road by far. Congratulations to Chandra and team on the beautiful experience in Namaste 🙏

I am a regular at this restaurant, it's my go to place for authentic Nepalese food. The extensive menu includes lots of options for meat, fish & vegetarian dishes & there is also a good choice of drinks available from the bar (including draft beers). There is always a pleasant atmosphere at this restaurant with a courteous & friendly management/staff team. The restaurant has just undergone a stylish refurbishment with a bright new decor.

Just had a fab night out at the famous Namaste Nepalese on Burton Road! Were regular customers til we moved out of the area a decade ago, but come as often as we can for the gorgeous Lamb Momocha starter, Chicken Shak-shuka and Bhotowan, Tarka Dhal and Best Naan Breads in the whole country! Turned out it was the full re-opening night, post-refurbishment celebration with free buffet and entertainment, which was a ticketed event, except we didn't have any tickets and hadn't even booked. However, we were welcomed with open arms. We so enjoyed watching the wonderful dancing and were so stuffed when we danced our way out after a fantastic evening. Thank you so much and "Namaste" to Chandhra and all his wonderful team. We'll be back soon. Tony and Margot (Reddish) x

Congratulations to Chandra and all his friendly and attentive staff on the refurbishment of Namaste Nepal. Amazing food as always!! Highly recommend.

Only place you can find different types of curries with proper asian taste. My favourite dish PANEER CHILLI. Must try if u like spicy starters. Best in Manchester.

(2023 Review) Still fantastic! Thanks for the invite to the Buffet/Party 👍 (2018) REVIEW Still an amazing place to eat. Upped to 5 stars now 👍 (2014 Review) Great!! Food is perfect!! Very peaceful place.

Always go here for a reliable well priced tasty curry. The service was warm and polite, the portions extremely generous and has recently been refurbished.

One of the best service,amazing people and delicious food.

Amazing Indian cuisine. The food was mildly spicy yet maintained authenticity. Ambiance is lovely with a great service. I wouldn't mind visiting again.

Boy’s are struggling to serve , need more staff for better service. Advice for management if you have any.

Clean, beautiful ambience. Highly recommended! The owner was so welcoming!

Love the Nepalese food here, The lamb chhoila was awesome, the taste took me back to Nepal. ♥️ Best Nepali Restaurant in Manchester

Been to quite a few Nepalese restaurants. But, I've got to say Namaste Nepal has THE BEST Nepalese food in the UK. On top of this, the hospitality me and my friends received made us feel like we've not left Nepal at all.

We ordered from here for a takeaway from just-eat.com and the food never arrived. We phoned the restaurant three times and they denied any responsibility. We are still awaiting any compensation despite paying for our food. I would NEVER order from this SCAM of a place again.

Have been a fan of this place since moving to Didsbury a year ago. Wonderful food and even better since the refurbishment, friendly and lovely staff. Have had take out and food in and both are excellent.

My third time here in as many months did not disappoint. The staff have done really well maintaining good service during their refurbishment, which can't have been easy. The place looks great after the refurbishment, and I look forward to visiting again in the near future. Overall, the food is great quality, really tasty, well priced, and I've always had good service.

Ordered on deliveroo.....absolutely amazing food, flavours are fantastic, the food is fresh.... we can honestly say we've been blown away by the levels of spices in the dishes. The rice's are tasty on their own, the naan bread is just the right amount of fluffy and charred......we've tried quite a few but ordered from namaste a couple of times now so it's a definite forever favourite for us!!!

Do not give my personal phone number to any delivery person period

Outstanding evening in their beautifully renovated restaurant :) We have been to Namaste Nepal a number of times before and so it was the first choice for my partners surprise 40th birthday celebration. The food was absolutely brilliant, service brilliant and the staff helped me pull off a great surprise meal! Everyone's food was exactly as hoped and even with a table of 16 people the service was quick and excellent, as always. Can't fault it at all - thank you!

Tasty food and friendly delivery.

Great food - haven't stopped thinking about it and jealous that I don't live locally to this restaurant! My only gripe was waiting for a table. Our group was told 5 minutes but it ended up over 45 minutes. Worth noting that this was a Saturday night and they were turning others away, so I suppose we got lucky getting in. Not worth losing a star over regardless

Worst Nepalese restaurant ever. After a long day of travelling from Scotland we decided to stop here for dinner. The drinks tasted very diluted. Food took a long time to arrive and was mediocre at best. It seemed like chilly was the only seasoning used. The naan was the only good part of the meal. As a Nepalese person this was the worst experience I’ve had with my cultures food.

Absolute gem of a place, been getting food from these guys for years and it never disappoints, had tandoori chops karahi and lamb garlic curries which were lovely. It's a step above most curry places and you can tell the chefs have a real passion for what they do. Also fast and friendly delivery, top stuff!

Lovely food I will definitely be ordering again from here

Surprise visit to Withington looking for somewhere to eat and found this little place. Food was great and so was the service.

This place used to be so good......gone to the dogs

Food lukewarm and a couple of dips etc missing from order

Went in on Friday dinner time without an appointment. Wasn’t busy till 7ish. Lovely service and authentic food. We had chicken and seafood curry, highly recommend the seafood curry and the stir fried rice. Mango lassi is about £6 but come in a huge jar so very reasonable price overall. The guy who served us just very caring and polite to us.

Wow, absolutely outstanding food, pure quality dishes, the mixed starter was just miles above other places.. Wil definitely be returning

Order said delivered...... Late and then never came and when I called they said not our fault he isn't our driver. Rubbish service

Quantity was very very less…order half chicken but got only 1peice..cmvery bad..

First time here. Restaurant was quiet but it was bank holiday monday. The service was excellent, kept making sure everything was alright. The food was really tasty. We ordered 2 garlic nanns and 2 portions of rice between 3 people the portions of rice were huge, could of got away with one.

Went here with my partner on Saturday 6th May. We eat here on a regular basis as we find the food and service excellent. We had poppadoms with a tray of dips, followed by seekh kebab starter which we shared. Our food and drinks order was taken by Jay the waiter who could not have been more helpful, friendly and attentive. For our main course, my partner had a chicken zalfrazi and I had a lamb karahi. With this we ordered a pilau rice and a garlic nan which we shared. The lamb karahi is always sensational at the Namaste and they have never disappointed me yet. My partner loved her chicken dish and the garlic nan is amongst the best we've had in any restaurant. Joule, the manager makes a great effort and always goes the extra mile to ensure you are well looked after. The prices are extremely good value, especially in the current economic climate. In summary, we have been going to the Namaste for about 7 or 8 years, I cannot recommend them highly enough and on reflection should have written this review long ago.

Service wasn't as good as you would expect. The starter arrived fairly quickly. However found my self waiting almost 30 mins after finishing starter for the main course to arrive. When you consider the place was far from full, it was very disappointing. The lamb in the Namaste mixed starter was overcooked and therefore not tender. The glass of house red wine was almost freezing cold. The two main course meals Kahari chicken and Passanda chicken were extremely tasty served up with a generous portion of basmati rice. The naan bread was also delicious. Service wasn't the best. Not sure I would visit the place again. But it was all very reasonably priced.

Great food ,great staff, we will definitely back

Food excellent, service attentive quiet Tuesday evening. Food is very reasonably priced. Creating lovely evening

My only complaint was it got very cold but the food was excellent, service fantastic All four of us enjoyed our food - MoMos we're excellent, ginger chicken main was the stand out dish! So reasonably priced also! Definitely has moved to number 1 indian/Nepalese restaurant in South Manchester for me !!

Disgusting!! Worst experience ever order two different dishes both came marked with the right thing we had ordered but both looked the same and tasted exactly the same. Tasted like chicken curry from a packet were you just add water. We ordered chicken tikka masala and chaat phat with chicken which is normally a dryish dish. Tried to phone them prior to order which I'd made through just eat to be told I hadn't ordered then the order was on its way, they didn't understand what was being said and were passing me from one person to another. Will not order from here again x
