Namaste Village Cambridge in Cambridge

I am not vegetarian but I had lunch here today and I didn't miss eating meat at all! I ordered the masala dosa and a Thali and they were both so good. The Thali was full of flavour and fresh. There service was very good. I would definitely visit here again.

Great veggie food and friendly service. The dishes are very flavourful.

Lovely all round staff wonderful and good amazing! Coming again very soon. Thanks team. Also try the orange wine it’s beautiful

Really good and authentic food an friendly staff. The vegetarian "chick'n chilli" definitely gave us flashback to a previous Nepal visit =D

Great place for pure vegetarian people like me, who don't take food from where non-veg is cooked or served. It has also option for No Onion and Garlic options.

Today, I visited Namaste Village in Cambridge, a Gujarati-style vegetarian restaurant, and it was an incredible experience. This was my first time visiting, and the food was so authentic. The flavors were perfectly blended, and the taste is still tickling my taste buds. The food transported me to India; it was a nostalgic experience. Namaste Village offers a variety of plant-based meats, which adds to the exciting dining experience. We tried the Beetroot Kebab, Surti Papdi Chaat, Naan Platter, and Paneer Curry. Trust me, everything was too good and mouth-watering. The spices were well-blended, and the flavors were simply divine. Words fall short of describing how amazing the food was. I will definitely visit this restaurant again and again. As a vegetarian, I often struggle to find authentic vegetarian restaurants, but Namaste Village is perfect. The ambiance is really good and decent, adding to the overall positive experience. If you're looking for a place that serves genuine vegetarian food, I strongly recommend Namaste Village.

Very nice food and very humble and good staff..

I am very surprised that this place has such a positive review score. From my experience, nothing about the food or service was anything to write home about. We came without booking beforehand, and when we arrived there were plenty of tables available. However, we were told that we could not be seated until we had scanned a QR code at the entrance to book a table - which was a little difficult to do when the restaurant sits in a mobile dead-zone. We had been excited to taste the food, and to be fair the starters (onion bhaji, aloo bonda) were pleasant - though far from what other Indian restaurants can offer. For mains, we got gobi manchunrian, and masala dosa. The gobi Manchurian was alright, but the dosa was undercooked, and the sambar that came with it was essentially tamarind water. Overall, other Indian restaurants around Cambridge offer better veg food. The price of the items at this restaurant is extremely high for the amount of food you get, and despite what the owners will say in other review responses, the prices are definitely above market-rate. For a veg-only restaurant, this makes no sense, as vegetables are obviously a lot cheaper to buy than meat. Maybe the prices would make more sense if the food was remarkable.

Delicious! Really friendly attentive staff but not over-bearing. Food exceptional.

As a meant lover this was a unique and very pleasurable experience. Different but in a good way. Good quality and tasty food. Very good !

Really great restaurant (although there are barely any non-spicy options so be aware)

Great selection of vegan options, attentive staff and all at a good price.

At first glance and based on reviews, we were excited to visit but left somewhat disappointed. The place was dirty, the floors where greasy and toilets were filty and smelly. Also, it was quite cold inside. The portions were small and not as tasty as other Indian restaurants we have tried. And for Cambridge, it is well overpriced and overrated for what it is.

Everything was perfect! Namaste is inviting and friendly. We will be repeat customers.

Amazing food and friendly relaxed service. We will be back.

lovely authentic food, spicy but with some kids spicy-free options. vegetarian only with meat like substitute.

We chose the buffet option, really good tadka daal and marsala dosa!

Great value buffet and really nice mango lassi

Amazing food! Authentic Indian. Would 100% recommend!

Very Great food and friendly atmosphere we have odered the paneer Lababdar made by chef Loki Very great food …

Amazing starters and chutney, manageable spice but slightly small portions.

Amazing food...Nice staff Portions , I feel bit small. Rest is an awsome experience

Amazing food, only place to get delhi style food in Cambridge.

Excellent meal with very friendly staff. A1xxxx

Great experience Hardika was really welcoming and chef Rajesh made food that made us feels like home!

Amazing food, service !! :)))) amazing food as well

We had a lovely evening. Our server was in training and was great

Very pricy Masala chips or chips sprinkle with chilli powder… 🤣 Masala dosa, small portion and costed £11 Pulao rice very small portion Lemonade £7

Went with friends and had an excellent time.

Had a great evening meal at Namaste village, great food, great service and very comfortable ambience, we'll be back! x

I just finished the cookery course. It was really great. Learnt so much. I had lots of fun. Can't wait to go back.

Ordered papadam and two curries with rice and naan. I’m very surprised by the high ratings for this restaurant on Google. This was not my experience. The Korma had no flavor, and the butter chicken had a very odd flavor. There has to be better Indian in Cambridge somewhere.

The naans were delicious! So was mango lassi. Our son’s non-spicy dish was actually pretty spicy, so he could eat only rice.

Best chicken tandoor ever (and it's plant based)!! So happy I have found this place!!

Very tasty vegetarian/vegan food

Amazing food - definitely recommend

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

Jaimin is so friendly and the best service we got!

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

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!

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

The food and services was amazing.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Excellent service and food. Incredible meat replacements.

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!

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

The black dahl is especially good.

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

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.

Very nice experience and good food.

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

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.

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

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..

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.

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

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

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

Great food, very welcoming staff!

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

Wow this was super tasty. Great. Thanks

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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!

Dismal food lacklustre service.

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.

Really tasty food, especially the Tali and street food options

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

Outstanding authentic Indian food

Friendly staff, great service, delicious 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.

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

Really excellent service catering for my low salt diet
