Namaste Village Cambridge in Cambridge

Slow service & food was terrible. Ordered Paneer butter masala and which was extremely sweet. Tasted like having a desert instead of curry

A truly disappointing experience. The vegetable biryani was stale, and the paneer curry fell far short of expectations in both flavour and quality. To add to the let-down, the packaging was substandard and unprofessional. Overall, it failed to meet even basic standards.

Fantastic food ! Great if you need vegan options too. Really delicious.

Favourite place to eat, love the people the food and the decor

lovely service and delicious food with various different options!!👏👏

Jaimin is so friendly and the best service we got!

Amazing service and some of the best Indian food in Cambridge

The nicest food and the nicest people. I’m a big regular here and they are always really nice and the food is incredible. The dosas are amazing so are the Gobi and puri. Also ir is reasonably priced with it being che are getting a takeaway. Love you guys thanks for the many years of great food!

The food and services was amazing.

Beautifully presented and so nicely spiced. Full of flavours. A joy for a vegan. Thank you.

I ordered the butter paneer and a kingfisher and thought I’d be in for a wait, 5 minutes later and Nicki Lauda’s come round the corner with Matt Hayes and the best curry I’ve ever tasted.

Such friendly staff and the restaurant environment is so homely, jemin was our server and gave us the best service.

Very Friendly atmosphere and wonderful food! Want to try plant based chicken best place to try great food and great service by Jemin!

Excellent service and food. Incredible meat replacements.

It’s my go to indian food place. Top notch service and food. We were taken perfect care by jemin.

We went there to celebrate a Birthday of a friend really loved the environment and staff was very friendly and loving. And The food just wow, Must try there meat free Chicken Momos (i had two) and Jalebi Royal Delight.

Very nice authentic curry! Would recommend.

What a gem of place! Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, delicious food. Got the mushroom kadai with chili garlic naan and a ginger kombucha. It’s a little pricey (considering the amount of food) but well worth it!

Great food and original Indian taste.!!! Hidden gem in Cambridge

The black dahl is especially good.

Very good food, black Dahl the best I've ever tasted, staff very attentive and friendly.would definitely recommend.

Lovely food and the staff are so friendly and welcoming Can recommend black dahl and masala dosa

Nice place and nice staff to enjoy good food.

Good food, good ambience. Above all, customer service was best, good and helpful staff.

Very nice experience and good food.

Honestly, I was about to leave when I saw they didn’t serve meat or fish. But so glad I didn’t. Excellent service and food

Amazing starters , Really loved it 😻

Excellent vegetarian Indian meal in cosy and friendly surroundings.

First time eating at their wonderful restarant but we will definitely be back. The service was quick.and attentive,the food was to doe for. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience..

Food was absolutely delicious, staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant with so many vegan options that I’ll have to visit so many more times to explore. We are a tough crowd too with 2 vegans, 1 gluten free and 1 nut allergy between 3 of us 😂. Pleased everyone!!!

I had no reservation during a special event, but was still seated immediately. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious.

Really tasty food and the service was outstanding. First time but would come again.

Amazing vegetarian Indian - kids loved it too - would definitely come again!!

Came here for a birthday meal. Staff are fantastic, knowledgeable and generally lovely. Food is amazing. If you are unsure of the level of spice, the staff will help you out and suggest what you might like.

OK, but not great. A bit of confusion with the service. The ambience is very bright, doesn't feel like a dinner out. The vegan curries had a lot of sauce and too little solid pieces. The soy chicken is not very good. The samosas are a bit greasy and not very good either. Overall the price of food is way too high for what you get.

Amazing food and service. Thank you

Great food, very welcoming staff!

We've been several times, and always enjoyed our meals. Great food at good prices, and friendly staff. Booking recommended as it's a busy restaurant. They also support good causes

Wow this was super tasty. Great. Thanks

A vibrant Indian restaurant in the heart of Cambridge! Their widely curated menu of Vegetarian and Vegan dishes was delightful! Must try dishes - Tandoori Chick’N momo, Jackfruit Biriyani and Laal Laal Mojito :)

We didn’t know it’s a vegetrian only meal and wasn’t completely sure to stay after we found out. I am glad we stayed and tried the food which was surprisingly AMAZING! Nima the waitress was really nice and welcoming.

While working away, I fancied a Indian. This was the closest restaurant to my hotel. Didn't realise it was a vegan / vegetarian only. Honestly, best dish I've ever had, think I may have been converted. The service by Nikunj and his team was amazing

Do not eat here! They refused service to a blind person and her guide dog. My group made a reservation and when we showed up, we were denied service because a member of our group is blind and uses a guide dog. The restaurant denied us service on a restaurant rule that all dogs, including assistance animals, were not allowed inside.  This is blatantly discriminatory and in violation of the Equality Act 2010- that is to say, illegal. Upon entering, we were told explicitly that the guide dog was not allowed, and when pressed, the staff member admitted that he knew that what they were doing was illegal, but this is what the higher ups had said were the rules. The guide dog is a registered, trained, and well-behaved assistance animal who was wearing a harness that clearly identified her as such. We were denied service simply because our friend's guide dog existed. I will not be eating at this restaurant again after this blatant discrimination and disrespect. I urge others to do the same.

Dismal food lacklustre service.

After stopping for a quick takeaway I was extremely dissapionted. I ordered a chicken korma and pilau rice. Well, the rice I opened when home was what I would describe as the saltiest vegetable rice and the worst tasting korma I have ever tasted 🤢 I'm not one to bother writing reviews so if this saves just one person from going through what I did then all good. I wouldn't even recommend it to an enemy for fear of being ridiculed by them!

Having spent some time in India and eaten 90% Indian vegetarian food this was as close as you get in the UK. if you want traditional UK Indian food then look to your normal curry house for the standard offerings. The masala dosa was excellent taste wise, (the filling was softer than i remember it ) the black lentil dahl luxurious ( better than Dishooms) and the rest of the Thali offered a delicate taste sensation that I have not had in the UK outside of Southall / Rosas in Stoke Newington. Authentic vegetarian food and our service was prompt, particularly compared to a four hour wait once in Kerala. Parking like any where in central Cambridge is unlikely to be free

Really tasty food, especially the Tali and street food options

Great price for quality,However quantity I found bit less for the price .Good food ,Great place to eat. Toilet is ok upstairs. Would only recommend this place to have snacks not easy on the wallet for main course.

Overhyped in my opinion. Vegan doesn't really taste good.

Service was unorganised and slow. Waitress brought out drinks 1 at a time. The 'pilau rice' was microwave savoury rice which was somehow undercooked. The chicken seemed as though it had been boiled however the sauce was nice. But £80 for 2 mains 2 rice 2 drinks and 4 papadoms is extortion! Daylight robbery considering the food looked like a frozen microwave meal. No offense. Would not recommend.

Was here in Cambridge for a short trip looking for some Indian restaurants I found this place called Namaste village the walk in was clear and good impressed then it take 10mins to take order in need to park your car in paid parking cause they don’t have parking the waiter is so humble and good in upselling the product but lack of interest in explaining products. Starting with runner she is good with service but then when we ask to describe item she is too loud . Then the waiter started moving tables making more noice .. the prices wear too high for the experience and quality of the food got a point with presentation but food was pre-cooked and reheated dosa was pale white and feels like eating batter chutneys wear bland the portion of biriyani is too less like a portion in tasting menu .. and charged over pricing .. Well good with drinks menu design . Thanks for the hospitality.

Great food and vibes. One of my favourite places to eat in Cambridge!

The food is so tasty and delicious. We would defo recommend.

Spent over £130 plus on food but didn't like anything except the chilli panerr. The gravies are all very sweet and at all give a taste of proper Indian food

Creative pure vegetarian indian food, full of flavours. Highly recommended

Nice delicious food and great service with big smile love it

Friendly staff, great service, delicious food,

Outstanding authentic Indian food

Overall good quantity and taste!

One of the best Indian places in Cambridge. All vegetarian but you wouldn't regret it, as the food is delicious. Usually, in an Indian restaurant in the UK you either get good north indian or south indian dishes, but here you get to enjoy the best of both the world. Highly recommend. Try Gobi Manchurian!

Homely environment good food,very helpful staff.

Really excellent service catering for my low salt diet

We had a first class meal here. All of my family enjoyed their dishes. We will be back, thank you

Top, excellent restaurant and entirely vegetarian with vegan options

Really great food! I forgot the names of the dishes we ordered but everything was vegetarian (we didn’t realise until ordering) and tasted incredible.

Fantastic warm authentic Indian restaurant in Cambridge. The food is fresh, flavoursome and not oily. The service is lovely and friendly, special shoutout to Nima and Jemin for cheerful service on a busy Friday night

Really nice restaurant with good size portions

Fab staff and not the standard Indian restaurant food. Recommended.

Really good birthday song and cake

Lovely venue with very friendly staff and the food and drinks were delicious. Will be back again for sure

a great find, as veggie in Cambridge for work. I’ll be recommending, and coming back!

Came here with my curry group, first vegetarian curry I have ever had, and it was fantastic, had the mushroom curry, if your a meat lover like myself, this made a nice change.

Was a little busy and loud but it’s normal in a Saturday evening

Great Indian cuisine with very tasty vegetarian options,friendly staff and beautiful space! Highly recommend it!

Disappointing. Some of the dishes felt like not much love or care had gone into them. Some things too blended.

We booked a table here for the first time as we had friends visiting. Overall the main dishes were very sweet and seemed to contain too much cream and butter, which overwhelmed all other flavours. The Paneer Angara contained relatively little paneer or vegetables but had a lot of rich sauce. I can only describe it as gloopy and it seemed to have strands of melted cheese in. The Black House Lentil Dahl was also very rich and sweet and we couldn't eat much of it. The paneer dosa was very salty and disappointing after looking nicely presented. Our friends had the Korma which was excessively sweet - like a dessert. I do recall the waiter referring to it as "sweet curry" when we ordered. The street food dishes were the best of what we tried. We had the Samosa Chat and Crispy Spinach Chat. The main dishes didn't come with rice or bread, and a pilau rice is fairly expensive at £5.95. A steamed rice was nearly £4. We felt the food was a quite disappointing and fairly expensive and we wouldn't eat there again. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. Although they didn't have a record of our table booking when we arrived, and I received an email just after arriving telling me my booking had been changed from a table of 5 to a table of 3. But we managed to get a table as it was early on a Monday evening.

Authentic vegetarian Indian food, great with family, friends and colleagues.

A very disappointing visit to Namaste Village. The food was overpriced, under spiced and full of sugar and cream. The starters were tasty but, and this is a theme, overly sweet. Then followed the paneer dosa. It looked the part but was rather bland and dry. It had a fair amount of saltiness but lacked any hint of spice. Mashed potato, bland grated cheese and not much else. Finally, the curries and dahl which were by far the worst offenders for sweetness, whilst also being unpleasantly creamy. The black dahl had a texture like thick custard- no lentil texture and a strange addition of very soft kidney beans and more cream. Earthy without much other flavour. The paneer Angara was again, all creamy, sweet sauce and very little else. There was a lack of vegetables and paneer. Lots of liquid but just one slice of onion and two bits of pepper. The bill at the end of the meal seemed rather high for the poor quality and small portions. I'm sorry to say that I really don't know why there are so many good reviews of Namaste Village. Our experience was very different and I wouldn't go back in a hurry.

The food was ok but it’s not the authentic Indian food. It needs more spices, they couldn’t add spices. The food was way too creamy and more of sweet. The chicken was tender but I didn’t like the taste. The vegetarian options were better fit. The garlic naan bread was good. Plate portions are bit smaller than usual Indian places. The place had good hygiene.

I went to one of their cooking classes and I loved it: the staff was very nice and accommodating. The chef taught us how to make papdi chaat and masala dosa with sambhar and coconut chutney (which you can also order from their menu). Everything turned out delicious. I really loved the papdi chaat which is a dish I wouldn't normally order: it was bursting with flavours, I couldn't stop eating. I loved that this cooking class exposed me to new dishes and helped expand my palate.

We had good time there . The ambience is good . Please reserve a table in advance

Great food! All vegetarian restaurant. Incredible variety! Thali is also an option.

Ordered just 5 items (19030) from this place through Uber Eats. Took 1 hour plus to deliver. Items missing - Mango Lassi that was ordered. How poor the service is, is evident from the fact that 1 item is missing out of 5 ordered. Not interested in complimentary offers for the missing order and the person asked if we could come and collect the lassi! Food quality strictly average. Complete ripoff. Avoid! To address the response from the restaurant : Yes it was on Uber Eats. No the driver had not received the lassi. The restaurant was called as soon as the driver reached the delivery point and the items were checked before we let the Uber Eats delivery person go. Let’s be truthful Namaste Village Cambridge - your front desk confirmed they had missed sending the lassi and offered to hand it over if someone came around. The refund was processed by Uber Eats.

Amazing and authentic Indian veg food options with great taste

We had high hopes for this place as we really wanted to support a vegan restaurant, but we didn't like the out-there flavours. Firstly the positives... it was fantastic that there were so many vegan options, gluten free and even garlic/onion free. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The food was beautifully presented, and arrived very promptly. However, all of this was let down by the food just not tasting very nice. Apart from the onion bhajis, we didn't like any of our dishes (and we really wanted to). The flavours were just "funky". Overly aromatic, and too spicy to the point of being inedible, despite ordering only medium spiced dishes. We had 6 dishes between us and not one had us wanting more. We got the feeling that the chef was trying to be too experimental with the flavours. Very disappointed.

If you are looking for vegeterian /vegan restaurant in Cambridge, this is your happy place to go for. This place has got very pleasant ambience. Good choice for Indian snacks And mango lassi is pure🫶 Good to book seats on weekends. They have parking space near by.

A genuinely authentic taste. Very delicious and fresh quality food. Been 3 times already. Will come soon again. Reasonably priced.

A great atmosphere. The welcome was warm and the food was fantastic. My husband is vegan and to have so much choice was amazing for him. We will definitely be back.

The food is amazing! Definitely recommend the jackfruit biryani rice. Friendly service as well.

Really nice staff and the food is authentic and delicious! We will definitely be back again ☺️

Went for lunch on a rainy Saturday. Service was friendly and all food delicious. Will return and try their mid-week lunch menu at some point.

Lovely food, atmosphere and service

Fabulous food, brilliant service. Superb!!

Lovely dinner. Friendly service. We've been twice on our four day holidays in Cambridge.

I’m not even vegetarian or vegan and I go out of my way to come here. Everything is so good. You can’t choose wrong here. Service is lovely. Thank you.

Amazing really, everything delicious and very accommodating to all kinds of diets

Really nice restaurant. We were the first to arrive and seated swiftly... I later felt like if I visit again, I should probably call to reserve a table as it got quite busy (even for a Tuesday evening). The food was delicious. We ordered Vegan and there are plenty options. The flavour in the manchurin required a moment to appreciate. And the beetroot tikki on the Vegan Thali was a new thing for me. I noticed the menu on the door had a few more vegan options than the menu on the tables. Or maybe I am mistaken... I couldn't find the thali on the table menu but defninatly knew I wanted it from seeing it on the door menu. The staff were soooo good! We had the pleasure of Jemin as our waiter. It's always nice when to get someone who can explain and describe flavours so well. Great knowledge and nice to have met. A really welcoming restaurant. The manager informed us that the Norwich restaurant is much larger, so I shall soon find out 😃 Gets a 5* rating in my eyes. Don't know if they have on site parking but Cambridge is lovely to explore anyway.

Food was amazing, beautifully presented and lovely overall.

Wonderful food and great service
