" My experience at Namaste Grill & Bar was mixed. The ambiance was fantastic, and the outdoor seating was nice, especially with the ocean view. The food was good but did not meet my expectations for an authentic Indian meal. The Chicken Tikka was a bit dry, and the curry lacked a punch. However, I appreciated the variety available on the menu, including vegan options. I think with some tweaking in the kitchen, this place could rise to be a top choice for Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" You can’t beat the location near the boardwalk! The food was great and the employees were friendly. I fell in love with their garlic naan. Only wish the parking situation was a bit better. Overall, it was a delightful meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem by the beach! I ordered the Vegetable Thali, which offered a great variety and all items were delicious. Lovely family atmosphere and friendly staff made my meal even better! A must-try if you're in Santa Cruz! " (*Curated Review*)

" The highlight was definitely the service combined with a vibrant ambiance. The decor is warm and inviting, while their take on Indian Pizza was something new for me, but it surprisingly worked! Good portions but a tad on the pricey side for some items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great dining experience overall! The flavors were spot on, especially the bountiful rice plates! The cocktails available complemented the flavors quite well. Can't wait to share more meals with friends at Namaste! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent experience! I loved the authenticity in flavors. Tried the Paneer Tikka and the Lamb Curry, both were exquisite. The only drawback was the wait time for the food but it was well worth it. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely one of the best meals I've had. The Lamb Curry was flavorful and tender. I also enjoyed trying the innovative Indian Pizza, which was unexpected but delightful! The service was outstanding, very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Santa Cruz; you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)
