The restaurant trades in Nepalese cooking--dal, chaat , several curries--that tends to be lighter and fresher than most local Indian fare and offers several vegetarian and vegan options . Read more

Get the Golgappa appetizer ! Beautiful edible cups of deliciousness! Amazing Mumbai street food . Dip them in the bowl of broth to fill them up a bit, then eat them whole! Splash! Flavor explosion!

Every culture has its dumpling , but the Nepalese mamacha are in a category all their own. Namaste Cafe makes them with a few different fillings, but our favorite without a doubt is the ground bison .

Nicole Tollefson

Lots of good vegan and gluten free options here. Haven't had one dish I didn't like yet. Love the Ginger Cardamom Chai (you can get soy milk ) and the cabbage salad with peanuts ;)

Tried Sunday Lunch . Food was good. Well presented. The Cucumber Raitha is awesome. Food is well portioned. Not too much, not too little. Tasty food.

This place has a great staff , & food that's just as good! They know the menu, & they will make on point recommendations!!!

Erin Clark

The almond curry is amazing! This place has some of the freshest curries in town . Always best to pick a table on the porch .

Ryan McGoff

Amazing food! I had the spicy lamb and potato and it was phenomenal, and for a pretty reasonable price, all things considered. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful, too. Definitely recommend it.

Tom Miller

Daily "lunchbox specials" are a great value . The menu is preset, but you are able to choose a vegetarian or meat option for the main entree. Only $10.

Naren M

Order the potatoes ! And namaste special curry . 1) rice that comes with the curry is less, so order extra or a bread/naan. Also a spice level of 2 is good...not too spicy , but enough

Matt Clark

The food is excellent but the kitchen gets backed up frequently and the service is lackluster. Order all your food as soon as possible and get a bottle of wine .

Jordyn

Super cute cafe with great food. Expensive for dinner , but lunch is reasonable. Their spicy fried potatoes are amazing.

Garrio Harrison

They have unlimited rice , are dog friendly and their lunch special is great.

The Roti Wrap was fresh and very satisfying, though the wrap seemed like a pre-made tortilla from the grocery store .

Brad Pluth

Great food, fantastic service and even better company with a barrel of laughs on a perfect MN summer evening outdoors.

Rifa Costa

The namaste chicken chilly n tangy lamp curry are awesome. The roti is just too big(but good) for my palette

Vee Bee

As of 4 days ago they now have a full bar with fun summer cocktails . HH is $2 off apps and half price drinks. 4-6pm.

Ashley T

Excellent service , great food and the perfect outdoor setting . What else could you ask for!!

Everything is awesome! Best chai , some of the best Indian food in the cities !

Such delicious food. Friendly staff . Do the lunch box specials. The coconut creme brule was so amazing.
