Why Travelers Love Namaste Indian
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This is Indian Soulfood Heaven! On our journeys we tried a lot of Indian restaurants. This is by far one of the best we’ve ever been to! The service is very professional and speaks perfectly English, too. We were asked about how spicy we wish our food to be, which was very attentive. The food itself was excellent and and a delicious flavour explosion! I had the Saag Paneer and my partner the Chicken Tikka Masala. The Mango Juice was freshly made and styed cool in the cups served. The dessert we took was the plate with all the desserts available - so delicious! We will come back here and can absolutely highly recommend this great place. You can also see the ocean a little bit. The restaurant is located a bit away from the Main Street, which is really nice. It is upstairs - the stairs to Soulfood Heaven! Best Indian restaurant in whole of South America! Great atmosphere. The food is so tasty, reminds you of India. Kudos to the chef! Amazing service by Mr. Ravi. He is very friendly and helpful. Very good and authentic food in MA, the chefs are from northern part of India. Bhel puri and paneer was very good. Naan was excellent and chai was just perfect. The service is very good and all the staff is very friendly. The place is big and has a very good vibe. If you are craving good authentic Indian food… this is the. Place to be

Absolutely! Here’s the revised review with that detail included: ⸻ A Taste of India in Costa Rica – Even Impressed a New Yorker! As someone from New York, where we’re spoiled with amazing international cuisine, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Indian food in Costa Rica. But Namaste Indian Restaurant completely amazed me! I ordered the Lasooni Chicken, Lamb Seekh Kebabs, and Angara Paneer as starters, and every single dish was bursting with rich, authentic flavors. The Lasooni Chicken had the perfect garlicky punch, the Lamb Seekh Kebabs were tender and expertly spiced, and the Angara Paneer was smoky, fiery, and absolutely delicious. What really stood out was that the food was clearly made with love and passion. You can feel the heart and soul behind every dish—it’s not just about good ingredients, but the care and authenticity that went into preparing them. Even coming from New York, this meal left a lasting impression. Namaste Indian Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving real Indian food in Costa Rica. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m here! I wish I can give more than 5 stars

Maybe your last Indian spot while traveling up hill leaving Manuel Antonio, but let me tell you this is the place to be! Very exclusive with delicious food and superior customer service. Also alcoholic beverages made with some strength if you know what I mean lol thanks so much, Namaste Indian cuisine! Ask for Dharam, he is a very pleasant waiter. Great place for Sunset views as well. 🍛 🇮🇳 🇨🇷 🌅.
