City PagesAugust 5, 2014The 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!- City PagesJuly 19, 2013Every 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 TollefsonMay 31, 2014Lots 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 ;)
Krishna DhulipalaNovember 13, 2017Tried 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!!!
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 McGoffJune 6, 2012Amazing 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.
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 MDecember 31, 2011Order 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 ClarkJuly 25, 2016The 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.- JordynAugust 30, 2014Super cute cafe with great food. Expensive for dinner, but lunch is reasonable. Their spicy fried potatoes are amazing.
They have unlimited rice, are dog friendly and their lunch special is great.

Brad PluthJuly 2, 2013Great food, fantastic service and even better company with a barrel of laughs on a perfect MN summer evening outdoors.
AnsellApril 12, 2015The Roti Wrap was fresh and very satisfying, though the wrap seemed like a pre-made tortilla from the grocery store.
Rifa CostaFebruary 4, 2013The namaste chicken chilly n tangy lamp curry are awesome. The roti is just too big(but good) for my palette
Vee BeeJune 26, 2012As 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 TMay 18, 2012Excellent service, great food and the perfect outdoor setting. What else could you ask for!!
Soma NikhanjJune 8, 2013Everything 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.
Jennifer KempJuly 18, 2011They're known for their chai, but be sure to try the red lentil dal...just amazing, winter or summer. Read more

Get the spicy masala iced chai. Best damn tea the the city!
This place is super cute, has delicious food, and a lot of clearly marked vegan options!
You may not immediately think of it, but the salads here are super good.
PortlandiaJuly 26, 2011Diners rave about their meals and the setting of this Indian and Nepalese restaurant.
Don't forget to get the Masala Curry. It's Ashley's favorite!
- Pair one of the daily lunch boxes with a Stella or a chai and enjoy.
Always a pleasure. Lets have a "FourSquare" PARTY here!- Leifur PalsonOctober 31, 2009From 3 to 6 they serve appetizers only half-off! Sticky and fragrant momo are dumplings we all dream of!
The spicy masalla chai may be perfection for taking the edge off a cold MN day/night.
Full from Namaste. Had the curry fish and the Tofu, Peas and Mushrooms. Hella good!!
