" Very disappointed with our experience. The food overall was not that flavorful and we didn't appreciate the slow service. The ambiance felt a bit off as well. I expected much more based on the reviews. I don't think I'll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Namaste is very inviting and relaxed. I enjoyed trying their goat curry which was excellently prepared. I asked for my spice level to be high, and they nailed it! Great service and a comfortable place for a meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I opted for Namaste Chicago after hearing rave reviews, and we were not disappointed! The lamb curry was tender, and we appreciated the option to control the spice levels. One downside: the restaurant was a bit quiet, but we loved the laid-back vibe. Can't wait to recommend this hidden gem to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food in a great location! I ordered the thali platter and loved being able to try a little bit of everything. The dal makhani was rich and heavenly! The only downside was I would have liked a bit more rice to go with my curry. The service was good and overall, I enjoyed my time here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very pleasant experience at Namaste Chicago. The quality of food was very high, especially the paneer dishes. The only downside was the slightly long wait for food, but it was well worth it! Overall, a delightful meal that I can't recommend enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience at Namaste Chicago. The quality of the food did not meet my expectations, especially after seeing all the good reviews. The biryani tasted average, lacking the rich flavors I was hoping for. Additionally, the staff seemed overwhelmed, which affected our service significantly. I might not return, given the competition in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is one of the best Indian spots I’ve been to! The food was spectacular, especially the paneer dishes. I only wish the portions were a bit larger for the price. The décor adds to the warm experience. I can't wait to visit again soon to try more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
