A Hidden Gem on Franklin Turnpike

Tucked in Mahwah, NJ, Namaste India is the kind of place you discover once and never stop coming back to, with honest spices, freshly baked naan, and people who genuinely care.

We ordered the Aloo Tikki, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Vindaloo, Fish Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic naan and mango lassi. The food was delicious, well portioned and priced competitively. The restaurant is very clean and well maintained. Most importantly, Rakesh was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home.

Visited with a group of 8 on a really busy day. The shahi paneer was very rich, creamy, and full of flavor — perfectly cooked and paired so well with the naan. The atmosphere stayed welcoming and calm throughout. We will definitely be back!

Rakesh served my family party of 8 — he was FANTASTIC. The Mango Lassi and Chicken Tikka Masala were outstanding, and curries arrived in special metal bowls that kept everything piping hot. A truly special dining experience.

The food here is fantastic, and the folks who own the restaurant are really nice. The chef greeted us personally, and they were able to accommodate a member of our party who cannot eat spicy food. I HIGHLY recommend the fish curry!
