Really good quality Indian food at reasonable prices for Kauai, especially given the large portion sizes. Lots of good vegetarian options. We had the vegetable curry and chicken saag with a piece of naan bread and two Marsala Teas. It was enough food for 3 people. The owner was super friendly and helpful. Had a great experience! Will definitely eat here again.

The food was good, portions were generous. However, we didn't like that the prices were not displayed, the owner did not tell us at the time when we got the food, he told us- you'll pay after you are done. Then he charged us $45 for a veggie and a chicken dish. We felt like it was a bit high considering that it was a food truck (we had meals at other food trucks and their dishes with sea food were not fore than $16-17). The other thing that we noticed that there were birds inside the truck, from outside it looked like they were eating the food particles (or who knows what) from the counter or stovetop. Not sure what the health department would say to that...

I had the vegetarian chickpea curry and palak/spinach paneer. Both were very flavorful, medium spice was spicy. So if you don’t eat much spice, definitely stick to mild or medium. Portion size was more than enough for 1 person, and had leftovers for another day. I ordered take out and it was ready within 15mins. Friendly staff.

Namaste has the best Indian food on Kaua'i. The chef used to be the head chef and part owner of another Indian restaurant before a falling out. He took all his recipes and expertise with him to Namaste, where his food surpasses all other Indian options on the island. His Tikka Masala sauce is the most delicious I have tasted anywhere. Everything he makes is fresh, hot, and filled with flavor. We have tried almost all of his dishes, and we can recommend the Fish Tikka Masala, the Lamb Rogan Josh, and the Chana Palak (chickpeas with spinach). The other food establishments in his area have failed or moved on, but he's still here because his food is THAT GOOD.

This is a great place to stop by for delicious healthy Indian food. The chef customizes dishes to your taste and infact even accommodated gluten allergy with one person in our team. We got dinner for 9 people and it was absolutely delicious - good deal indeed! And a very friendly chef to boot. Highly recommend it!

We were surprised at the high quality food. The Chef was very polite, usually you pay first and then they provide take out. Here we ate and then paid. There are benches with covered canopy, lot of good veg options. We had gone hiking and on our way back from Princeville saw this and stopped. Just to be on the safe side we ordered everything mild and it was quiet tasty.
