    The best Indian food I have had in or out of India, in a restaurant. The street food was amazing. I loved the service and ambiance. They even changed the music on my request, what more can you ask for? I want to do a longer review on this but will come back and edit for that. At the moment, I will say highly recommended, go there - alone, with friends, colleagues or a date to impress. You will not be disappointed. Next time I go to Bergen, I am definitely going here.

    Has to be the best Indian restaurant while in Bergen. We went to another one (won't take the name here) but clearly liked this one way better. We were too hungry to take more pics but we ordered aloo tikki, kadhai paneer, pindi chana, and gol gappe shots. Everything was top notch! We hope to visit once more before we leave the town.

    Who would have thought that you would find an amazing Indian restaurant in Norway? I've had my fair share in different countries, and this is definitely top 10. Everything is made from scratch, including their paneer, which was super soft. Naans were also so light and airy. Staff was friendly and accommodating. My family and I had a great experience overall.

    Loved it. Good food, service and atmosphere. I had the butter chicken, but everything else looked and smelled delicious too.

    Very delicious food. The best Indian restaurant in Bergen. I have been to all other Indian restaurants in Bergen like the two near Bryggen. And this by far is the best one. Food was in more amount than the other restaurants for almost the same price. Nice waiters also 😊.

    The location and the ambience of the restaurants are amazing. Wish the food was good too. We ordered Chicken Tikka masala which was sweet and not enough spicy. It was just cooked chicken and not Tikka at all. Dal tadka was begging for some seasoning. Gol Gappa was only 5 puris and 3 of them had holes in them at the bottom, so all the spicy water flowed out leaving only the soggy puri. Garlic Naan was soft and fluffy and delicious. This was the only good thing we ordered. If you are looking for a good Indian restaurant in Bergen, lots of better and cheaper options around.

    Really, really tasty Indian and we spent 3 years in Mumbai. We had spinach chicken dish, mixed veg, dahi puri starter and of course garlic naan. Optimal mix of spice and flavor. Main dishes a bit on expensive side (~250 NOK) but a filling portion. Service a bit slow (maybe it's just the times?)

    By far the best indian restaurant in Bergen. Fantastic flavours and perfect seasoning. Good portions size and the nan bread is the best we ever had. You should absolutly go to eat at Namaste. And the staff is superfriendly too. Warmly recommended.

    Chicken tikka masala was good, chicken vindalu had very strong tomato flavor that made it less spicy. The waitress was very nice. Even arranged table for us without pre-booking. Doesn’t have english menu but staff will describe everything if you ask. Nice time.

    Simply wow! The food was top quality and tasty! We started with a very traditional chai, which was fantastic, and I guess, it set the tone for the food ahead! :) we had Lamb vindaloo and Bhunasaag chicken in main course, and Green garlic grilled chicken (photo attached). Nothing but memorable. The food felt so homely and warm! Definitely a go to place. Kind request though to the team behind it to continue the top quality, and hope to come again!

    Indian after a movie? It was a great choice. Having passed before it a couple of times, this was the chance to try Namastey out. We ordered several dishes and all of them were really solid. Beautifully prepared chicken (moist and tender), great sauces (and diverse). The food felt honest, made to order, and more creative/original than your average Indian in Norway. I'll be back.

    The panipuri disappointed with its lack of taste and messy experience due to leaking pani. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this dish. However, the redeeming factor was the flavorful curry we ordered, offering a satisfying contrast. The naan was decent but didn't stand out. Overall, a meal with highs and lows, showcasing both the hits and misses of the menu.

    We had kadhai paneer, daal tadka and masala kulcha and it was very delicious. They even serve you with complementary papad and mouthwatering chutney to begin with. Authentic Indian food. Highly recommended if you are in Bergen !!

    Best Indian Restaurant in Bergen with customizable spice level. High quality food and very friendly service. Must Try: Green Garlic Chicken (Spice Level: Madras) Samosa Chat (Spice Level: Madras) They customize spice levels using names like Madras Curry, Vindaloo etc.

  • 3/5 K. V. 3 months ago on Google • 60 reviews New
    Good Ambience and Kind Staff. But the taste of the food is below average. They are bringing all foods whoever order within a few minutes. It looks like all the pre-prepared foods are just heated, garnished and served.

    Best indian restaurant in bergen. Tasty Vegan food, And the waiter is so kind. Slow music and calm environment.

  • 1/5 Amit G. 7 months ago on Google
    Food is not good. Cooked package food and no effort. No chicken tikka in chicken tikka masala. All the chicken dish taste the same. Portion sizes were terrible. They served me the wrong soft drink. The positive reviews do not look authentic and the restaurant doesn't seem to take any responsibility for poor experience ( they seem to give excuses or say it's a competitor's review). I'd say the negetive reviews are quite accurate. The 4.6 rating is fake and paid for. Don't waste your time or money here.

  • 5/5 Hannah S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely top notch food. Probably the best Indian I've been to. Fantastic flavour, well cooked and very good, friendly service. Recommend the green garlic chicken and mango chicken. Would visit Bergen again just for this place.

  • 5/5 Surya K. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Indian Restaurant In Bergen! Had the best lamb biryani in norway for a long time now, made fresh and tasted really good! Kudos to the chef and a welcoming management. The owners were kind and very pleasant attitude and gave good service. Will recommend to all and must visit in Bergen. Will be a regular here.

  • 5/5 Maria J. 1 year ago on Google
    The best food we had in Bergen. Not only it was delicious but also healthy, as no artificial additives are used! We left happy and satisfied.

  • 5/5 Selina Egerer N. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious and it was a big portion as well! 294kr for buttetchicken with rice and garlic naan, and I could barely finish my food❤️

  • 5/5 Shathan Al K. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent Indian cuisine served authentically. The mix grill and butter chicken are so good. Chicken biryani and nan bread are all very delicious. Nothing to fault but if we are to be extra picky then perhaps it should be noted that the food may be spicy to some. It’s better that when you order to specify the spicy level you wish your food to be served.

  • 5/5 Sharon Q. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing Indian Restaurant that we were delighted to find while on holiday in Bergen. The food was the best Indian food any of us had ever tasted and we enjoyed it so much we went back the next day for more. They were accommodating when we needed to change our booking time and the serving staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, in explaining the menu and food types. Diana was particularly helpful, as was the 2nd female server but unfortunately I didn't get her name. Loads of options for all dietary requirement. Highly recommend.

    Food is great , service is fast and priced rightly . We tried pindi chole , potato cauliflower , naan . All tasted very good and freshly made . Place is crowded with locals , that says a lot about the consistency and friendly nature of staff at the restaurant. If you are looking for a good Indian cuisine in Bergen , you should try this place .

    One of the best Indian restaurant in Bergen. Good service and friendly staffs. Some of the seatings could be improved

  • 5/5 Mariekythe M. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I LOVE their butter chicken. We crave it from time to time and will most likely be back again :) I think this is the best Indian food we've ever had so far. Definitely recommended.

    Talking about food : this is worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. I am a tourist and when I visited Bergen with my family I wanted to find an Indian restaurant for a good dining experience and when googled it up, this came up. We ordered chicken biryani , garlic naan and shrimp tikka masala . I guess the chef made everything in a stale tomato masala mixed with sour yogurt . Shrimp Tikka masala was like tomato curry sprinkled with a few shrimps . Tasted the worst . Biryani could have been better called chicken over stale tomato rice with a taste of sour yogurt. And naan was again made with flour soaked in sour yogurt. It was the most horrible experience I ever had . I had my lunch at around 12:30- 1 pm .By the time it was 5 pm my stomach was totally upset due to food poisoning. I had a flight to catch and I was in a very bad state . Talking about service after being seated we were asked to choose from the menu and when ordered the food was served after 15-20 mins even though there was only 1 family other than ourselves in the whole restaurant. And the check was never got to us inspite of asking for it 4-5 times . The lady behind the service desk went away somewhere and they were no other servers . The ambience was ok but other than that there was nothing worth visiting this restaurant. I’m not sure who rated this restaurant 4+ but had there been a zero or a negative rating I would have given it. And please the restaurant owner if you want to save it please fire the chef first . A novice chef will cook thousand times better food . FINALLY MY ADVICE —- PLEASE DO NOT EAT FROM THIS RESTAURANT .!!!
