    The problem with most restaurants that pass off as Indian,is that they are not. Typical Indian curry places laughingly provide "traditional" dishes with made up names and which all look and taste the same. Namaste Village was refreshingly different, they had a reasonable selection of actual Indian foods, and ample choices for vegetarians - including the soya based "fake" chicken dishes. Starters were great, the main course was great and featured three distinct vegetable dishes all looking and tasting different from each other. Very nice. Would recommend. (The prices were on the higher side, but that is something we are noticing everywhere these days. Eating out now needs taking out of a small mortgage)

    I met an old school friend at Namaste to catch up, and we had an excellent meal. Tasty, imaginative and very satisfying. Highly recommended and I plan to return.

    Been coming here ever since I was a student in Cambridge. I no longer live in Cambridge, but every time I come back I ensure to visit here - it’s just THAT good. Such an extensive plant forward menu with soooo many vegan options. The India flavours are so authentic - such a rarity in Cambridge. The vegan mango lassi and naans are to die for 🤤

    Really characterful and delicious food. Excellent gluten free options. Nice atmosphere and service and the food has genuine personality with no weak links in what we ordered. Chutneys clearly made in house, excellent rice, knockout flavour throughout the curries we tried. Fantastic!
