I went here with my boyfriend for the lunch buffet about a week ago. They had a good selection of food and it was only $12 a person.
I mainly had the butter chicken and rice, but I also tried the goat and biryani.
For dessert they had a carrot dish, which wasn't that great. I have had it other places where it had more flavor.
The mango lassis are good. We will probably be back!

Great portions. Chicken tikka masala on point & if you love the dark meat, like myself, they can give it to ya.
Naan is yummy, but slightly dry for my taste.
Vindaloo is mad spicy, but tasty.
Rice pudding… Slightly liquid-y for my taste.
Service is lovely and the workers super friendly. We typically get it to go or fir delivery and we've really liked it.
Price and portions are better than other spots we've had.
If you're a Park Slopian, it's a solid Indian spot.
Namaste,

This review is for delivery.
Typically we wait a little longer for a new restaurant to hit its stride, but decided to take the gamble on Namaste (which has only been open a month) last night for delivery. Delivery was estimated for 60 minutes but after 90 called to see what was going out (turned out Seamless was having a massive NYC outage, so we will give them slack on that).
Once the food arrived, it was piping hot and fresh, and the delivery person was very nice. Immediately we were struck by the very large portions (much bigger than Baluchis and other local joints). For our trial run of this place, we decided to go with the Indian restaurant standards of Chicken Tikka Masala ($13) and Shrimp Curry ($16) and of course Naan bread ($3).
The Shrimp Curry was really excellent with a ton of shrimp. The Chicken Tikka Masala, also had a ton of nice well trimmed all white chicken (they charge $1 extra if you want dark meat) and had a great flavor, although have to say, was a bit over salted (but not too much to ruin it). The naan was good, but of course it is impossible for delivery naan to taste as good as it is in the restaurant.
Typically I would have gone for the dinner combo (app, entree, naan) that every Indian restaurant has; however, have to say that Namaste's dinner special is pretty lame, with just 3 app choices (all veg) and limited entrees for $18 (which is more than other local places).
In the end I didn't miss the special given how big the regular portions were and that they still throw in extras like padadum and sauces as well as a tasty rice pudding.
Overall we were impressed and plan to try eating in someday just to give the full test (would also be interesting to compare to Joy which is probably best is area).
On a final note, have to say that we still miss Press 195 that used to be in this space. There is still no place in Brooklyn that makes as good of sandwich as they did, Zito's was no loss though.
Decent Indian lunch buffet. There was a variety of dishes. The best dish was the chilli chicken, which was spicy and had a slight sweet taste. They brought out a basket of naan. Unfortunately there was nothing for dessert.
The food was good, but nothing special.
Really good Indian food in Park Slope – finally.
Their delivery is fast and hot and the food is very fresh. We like the tandori chicken and the curry dishes.
Going in the restaurant is nice. They have a nice buffet and great takeout specials that they let you build right from the buffet.
Check it out – it's a good place in the Slope.
Pretty darn good for delivery in Park Slope. I still dream that our favorite UES Indian place will open a satellite branch in Brooklyn, but barring that, Namaste will definitely be our go-to takeout Indian restaurant. Nice variety of dishes all well prepared. Nothing stands out as a destination restaurant experience, and thus the 4 stars, but their delivery is always prompt and the food always inviting. Very nice addition to the neighborhood, and I hope they'll stick around for years to come.
