Reviews for Cafe Namasthe in Lehi, UT
It pains me to review a restaurant based on their catering setup, but I felt this had to be done. Given the restaurant... represented itself as a brick-and-mortar setup on their sign, I think it is fair to leave a review. I had been excited for theIndian food fair in Liberty Park for months. We waited until mid afternoon to go and the lines were still super long. I chosethis location based on a shorter line. Over half an hour later (felt unreasonably slow) I finally reached the front. I ordered aveg combo, a non-veg combo, a rose lassi, and a mango lassi. The lassis were handed over immediately and I paid. I figured thefood would come out instantly too given they only had a few options and I saw assembled entrees ready to be served. Boy was Iwrong! I was quoted a half hour wait. I returned and heard the staff explaining a situation to other guests. The County HealthDepartment had shut them down!! I asked them why and they were reluctant to answer. They admitted it was because their food wasnot the right temperature. Concerning, especially on a super hot day outside. We worked out a deal for some of my money back, 2lassis, and an order of samosas. I realized afterward I got gipped as the original price I paid factored in the better deal ofcombo meals. The samosas were not fresh nor even made by the restaurant. I watched them pull boxes of pre-made samosas out tocook. The lassis were delicious, but why serve them half an hour before the food? The taste of the lassis is the only reason Iam not leaving a 1 star review. I cannot speak for the restaurant itself, but the staff, service, and food all left a lot to bedesired. Read more
Okay, so been here twice in two days. I think it’s great for what is trying to be. Don’t compare to Bombay House or Little... India since it is a totally different model. For what this is, it’s really great. Great lunch experience yesterday and thenliked it enough that I came back for dinner today. Utah style counter order with food delivered to your table. Great Lamb Curryand Chicken Tikka Masala yesterday. Today was chicken korma and butter chicken. Got medium but had to add a lot of extracayenne pepper to get it to a “medium spice”. Probably a bit over priced. If I had to stack-rank the 4 entrees, I wouldsay: 1- chicken tikka masala, 2- lamb curry, 3- chicken korma, and 4- butter chicken. I’m generally not a big fan of butterchicken as it tastes too sweet, but my son loved it. Read more
I came in here with my family, I had ZERO appetite and no desire to be here, I had food earlier and I had serious doubts about... the flavoring because some Indian food can taste weird. But no restaurant tasted so authentic and yummy I’ve never beensurprised like this. This Chicken Biryani is AMAZINGGGGG. The white sauce smelled goofy but mixed in the rice had soooo muchflavor I loved it. I will definitely come here again???? Read more
Awesome place to eat! Super clean and bright, great quantities of food, Not to mention delicious. We bought two bowls of curry... and ended up taking a whole one home. I served myself too much food on accident and an employee came to check if I wanted to trysomething different since I didn’t finish my food. So nice! Read more
This place is easily as good as all the other Indian places. I had the Lamb Korma curry and the Onion Parantha. Both were great!... Mild spiciness for someone used to hot things. Came with yogurt too. Read more
We have been here twice now. The food is delicious. Love the lamb korma and curry chicken. It’s a little bit pricier than I... expected. We easily spent $30 on dinner for the two of us, but the food was delicious so worth it. Read more
Great food and fantastic way to serve it in containers to dish out or take it to go. We had the Butter Chicken, which was our... favorite, and the Chicken Tikka Masala. The Tikka Masala was a bit too spicy for my wife, but I enjoyed the little bit of spice.The butter Naan bread was so good and was perfect to dip in the sauces. We will for sure be back. Read more
This place is a hidden gem!! The owners are so nice and give you samples. The butter chicken and chick korma was so good! The... portion sizes here are HUGE. one combo can easily feed 2 people or more. I love Indian food and I loved that this place wasfast-casual and you don’t need to sit down if you don’t want to. Everything comes in containers that you can just package upand go and reheat at home which I loved! Read more
