A Hidden Gem on Franklin Turnpike

Namaste India | Our Story
A Spot on Franklin Turnpike
A modest neighborhood spot near the New York state border that quietly grew into a destination guests plan their drives around.
The Kitchen's North Indian Soul
Aromatic chicken biryani, deeply spiced goat curry, silky Shahi Paneer, and coastal Goan shrimp — every dish built on layered spice and slow technique.
The Charcoal Clay Oven
At the heart of the kitchen: a traditional charcoal tandoor delivering unmistakable smoky char to every naan, kebab, and tandoori plate.
A Route Worth Rerouting For
Regulars swing by on the way back from upstate New York — not because it's convenient, but because skipping it would feel wrong.
The Table Knows Your Name
A family-run kitchen where the chef greets every table and staff like Rakesh remember what you ordered last time. Proud holder of the Annapurna Certificate Award from ICCR.
