Reviews for Namaste Fine Indian Cuisine in Gambrills, MD

Everything we ordered was delicious. Our original plan was to go to a much more casual restaurant so we were in street clothes.... For sure underdressed for those places. The manager came up and checked in on us a couple times, he was polite to a fault. Thewine list had plenty of options. The waiter had cleared his mind of everything except fine dining and breathing. Our cups werenever empty and our bellies (and to go boxes) left full. Read more

Beautiful restaurant and very good service. However, the food is bland. I ordered 7/10 spice and I swear the food had the flavor... and complexity of Costco Indian food. The spices that they use are probably old and not sourced well. You can?t taste the garlicor onions or the other flavors. There is very little of that full-flavored bite that one would expect from an Indian restaurantwith such nice ambiance and high prices. And, you have to ask for chutney??? The rice is well made but again there is no realcomplexity or uniqueness to the flavor, even the biryani. Even the lamb was tough, probably because it is not marinatedeffectively. In any case, I am still on the look out for some good Indian food, because sadly you won?t find it at Namaste. Ihave been twice disappointed and probably won?t go back. Read more

Restaurant was practically empty, so the service was decent. The appetizer was good. The rest of the dinner was mediocre,... especially for the price. Naan is not included with your meal. Several pieces of chicken were rubbery. When we brought this tothe attention of our waiter he was noncommittal. Did not apologize, did not offer a discount or any other food as compensation.The kheer was a TINY amount for the price, and had an unusual flavor that I did not like. Husband thought it was mango, which ispossible, as I do not like mango. Overall food was not worth the price. Read more

We used a gift certificate the first time we visited here. Food was good. Our second visit however was not that great. Same as... before we were the only ones there. We like to arrive shortly after places open so we can get fresh food. The appetizers ofsamosas and other items tasted warmed over. The curried chicken was dry. Maybe we'll try going later in the day perhaps eveningtime to see if the food quality improves. Not worth $80 for two entrees, appetizer, tea and marsala???? Read more

Before judging me by my review, you should consider the number of Reviews I did in past few years. So, here what I think about... this business. This is one of the worst places who knows nothing about professionalism. If you are in USA to do business, youshould follow minimum business etiquette and standard. We went there on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We entered at 2:07pmkeeping in mind that they will close at 2:30 pm. The front desk person clearly said that the restaurant is about to close andthey are not allowing dine in. We were like "dude, your website says you close at 2:30". He was like -yes, but we do not allowdine in after 2 pm.Ok,then where does it say that? He clearly looked like he doesn't care. We had a baby with us, so thought maybe we can talk to the manager and things might change as we came before the closing time. We asked for the manager so we couldmake suggestion, but the person said " we Don't have any". Again asked for the owner and he said "he is out of country". I donot know anything about their food but I seriously do not recommend this place. So far the worst asian restaurant experience Ihad, for sure. Read more

Spectacular service, and amazing dishes. The staff were ready to offer great reccomendations and give a history of their... options. Very happy with our visit! Read more

The food are mediocre. We ate at lunch time. They charged $22.95 for the chicken tikka masala which only came with a plate of... rice and a bowl of the entree, WITHOUT any naan bread or poppadom. The chicken samosa were bland and not all of the fish pakoraare breaded. They were in the dry side too. The place was quiet during lunch hours so we assumed that they will have a betterfood service. We were wrong. We won?t be coming back to this place since there are other restaurants that provide better serviceand better tasting food for that cost. Read more

We ordered the tandoori shrimp appetizer, lamb kahari, and chicken makhani. The food had good flavor but was not as spicy as... other Indian establishments. The naan bread was exceptional; the garlic naan was my favorite. The staff was exceptionallyhelpful. The bar was a little limited but the bartender made a very good drink. We placed a to go order also. With limitedIndian restaurants in the area it was a good experience. Read more
