I ordered the butter chicken with mild spiciness and plain naan to-go; done-in was not available due to current COVID-19 restrictions. First, the rice was spectacular! It was made so we'll that I could have the rice alone and be mostly happy. It was light and fluffy, was not clumpy nor mushy, and also lightly salted. Seriously great rice! Second, the butter chicken curry was great! There was a decent kick from the mild spiciness but it did not overpower any flavors (at least for me). The curry was smooth and tastes great! I only wish it would be a little more creamy. Third, the chicken looked like chicken pieces/strips (some places like to form the chicken into cubes and I'm not sure why). The chicken was cooked just right; not over cooked, even after sitting in the curry during transit. Plenty of parking in front and around.

We used to like the food here. Off late the quality has dropped significantly. The food used to be fresh, not anymore. It feels like reheated food, especially reheated meat can be toxic. Also, the orders aren't accurate. We ordered ulvacharu and avakai biryanis, but we got the plain ones for both. I really hope they get back to their earlier standards, but we aren't going back anytime soon.

Good buffet on the weekends. Can be busy as more people are founding our about it. Staff is nice. They could raise the price a little bit to help. Great value nonetheless.

Chicken Tika Masala with Plain Naan bread for dipping... An exceptional flavor combination. Curry was bursting with flavor ...and perfected with the traditional Cooked Basmati Rice. Excellent dinner option. If you like flavorful food then Indian food is your go to option. 'Can't be beat for flavor and spice'. I recommend eating at Namasthe Indian Restaurant ...all the food was very very good.

We ordered Amaravati chicken biryani and Maskali biryani through Uber eats for lunch. Maskali boneless biryani is not at all good. It’s not fresh nor tasty ☹️ it was very disappointing because I like this biryani and I used to order it in bothell branch a lot. I don’t know if the chef for the both branches are same or not !! Maskali biryani in Bellevue is not at all good. Amaravati biryani is too good. Me and my frnds enjoyed a lot. Only one thing the meat is not fresh but the flavor of this biryani is like yum yum 🤤

Ordered Amravati Chicken Biryani today , it was very bad couldn't eat , the rice was so dry and chicken pieces were not at all good . I please suggest others not to encourage these kind of restaurants where they just steal your hard earned money with some very low quality food , I am not sure if this review would make any difference but at least if it helps someone not to go through the bad experience which I had I would be happy. Wish I can rate less than one star.

We ordered Tandoori Chicken ,Shrimp fried rice & Golden Pampano fish . Shrimp Fried rice was delicious. Tandoori Chicken was yummy & Golden pompano was good too but felt its little oily.

You can explore a wide variety of delicious dishes such as veg 555, gongura, and ulavacharu-infused biryani. The prices are affordable, and the flavors are excellent, offering an authentic taste of South Indian cuisine. The service is prompt, and they also offer a fantastic buffet option.

Update: reduced to 1 rating as the staff was rude and never accepted that the food was burnt over the call and kept saying this is how it is. I've been having biryani here for more than a year now and since the staff has changed, I've not had good experiences. Also, the photo clearly shows the burnt veggies. Namasthe has been my primary go-to for Biryanis. However, since the last couple of times, Biryanis haven't been good. This time the veggies in Veg 555 Biryani were burnt. I have noticed that the staff has changed recently and it might be related to this. I don't think I'm going to go here again after 2 successive bad experiences. Also, looks like they stopped honoring Prime cards even though it is still present in the passport app.

Best South Indian (Telugu) restaurant and love the food here. My Seattle trip always includes a visit to Namaste. Their Amaravati biryani (flavoured Gongura rice) and chicken starters are our favourites.

Placed my order thru DoorDash and the Konaseema Spicy grilled fish was excellent. The chicken Lollipops were tasty but didn't have much Chicken on them. Will have to visit to see how the service is.

I’m a regular customer here and we ordered biriyani all the time. On july 7th we ordered a family pack masakali and a regular chicken dum biriyani. Chicken in one of them was undercooked and the other one smelt bad. We had to throw out most of it. This is not the quality we expect for this price.

I visited this restaurant for weekend Vegetarian Buffet. It is totally worth for what you pay. On the day I visited they had many options like Pongal, Vada- Chutney, Baby corn starter, Veg Dum Biryani - Raita, Paneer Butter Masala - Naan, Dal , Sambar, Plain Rice, Papad, Curd, Dahi Vada, Fruit Custard, Kheer. The food was medium spice, good seasoning and less oily. The Pongal was very good. Worth a try. Also there is NonVeg buffet as well.But definitely recommend to go early. There is enough seating space indise and has a parking lot right beside the restaurant.

I have tried all restaurants in Seattle and Bellevue. But Namaste India is the Best Food I ever had so far. My favorite is 65 Biryani. Server Randy is always soo nice and welcoming. I visit every time I come to Seattle. Thank you

Very disappointed with service. We had friends gathering at Redmond and planned to have some biryani. Chose to order from Namasthe. Ordered chken 65, chkn masakali, 1 Lamb biryani and 2 Chicken dum biryani. One of those biryanis I just got rice and no chicken at all literally just rice, I noticed it after serving food from the pack after reaching the motel. Next day on called the restaurant and explained the above, after 10 mins they called me back and refunded for 1 biryani. But the rest of the dishes taste is really good.

Tried the egg biriyani and paneer 65 appetizer. Both were extremely spicy although I mentioned it as medium. Flavor wise paneer 65 felt they threw bunch of chilli powder on it. It was very difficult to eat. I ate it over 3 days with some curd. Biriyani was not good either except for the egg. Won't be coming back to this joint.

I have ordered biryani around 3-4 times along with other items like roti, malai kofta etc. Biryani was always too spicy and it doesn’t taste like that, it tastes like eating red peppers. I shifted to biryani bowl for biryani and really tastes good.

Good food. Note that the medium spicy level is super spicy compared to some other Indian restaurants.

We went here during Covid on a Saturday. The dine-in was closed considering covid. We ordered Amaravati Biryani, Chicken Dum Biryani, Pepper Chicken curry and Naan. The food was delectable, and the service was prompt too. It took around 45 mins for us to get our order after ordering it, which was understandable considering they were low on staff that day.

This was a takeout order. Some redeeming qualities in the naan bread were barely able to make up for the complete lack of flavor in all 3 dishes. It tasted like baby food ...Also the chicken Tikka Malasa had ZERO chicken in it. None. Not even a tiny shred. Top that off with little pin sized bone fragments found in another dish, and the $6 dessert that I SWEAR was a store bought doughnut hole soaked in honey water, and Its a hard pass from me. So many better Indian places around for take out.

First time ordering from here. I asked them for a recommendation on their best indo Chinese appetizer and was told to get the gobi manchurian. It was so-so. A tiny bit high on salt and not as crispy as it should be. Worth a try again - but would strongly recommend eating in or eating it pretty soon after you pickup or it’s bound to get soggy. I wonder if that’s what happened with my order… next time, I’ll try more Indo Chinese, and will dine in.
