" I visited Namaste Chicago last week and was blown away by the flavors! The chicken tikka was perfectly spiced and the garlic naan was fresh and pillowy. The service here is excellent; our server made sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing dining experience! The momo appetizers were delectable and so authentic. The staff greeted us with smiles and made us feel right at home. I loved the ambiance as it was cozy yet vibrant. The only downside was the pricing was a bit on the higher side but definitely worth every penny for such exquisite Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place with delicious food! Their chicken makhani is a must-try. But I am left giving a lower score as the service felt a bit sluggish during prime hours. Even so, the food quality makes the visit worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Superb service and wonderful food! The chicken biryani had just the right amount of spice, and I liked that they had an extensive menu. I enjoyed the ambiance too—a perfect balance of casual and cozy. It's a great spot to unwind after a busy week. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long day, I decided to treat myself to some comfort food, and Namaste did not disappoint! The butter chicken is creamy and addictive. I was impressed with the level of spice – just how I like it! One minor complaint – the seating could be comfier, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment. Will definitely keep coming back! " (*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*)
