Amazing! Didn’t expect such amazing food.

Delicious food and great service.

Great food, great service, great portions. Just a touch on the pricey side but it's the same price as the rest of the area.

Delicious food!! My partner and I had a wonderful dinner and received excellent service from AP and Noor. Make sure to try the mango lassi and the lamb tikka masala, and don’t forget the garlic naan!

The food was very delicious. The waitress was excellent. She cater to our needs and to answer all my questions. I recommend that everyone comes to this restaurant and order this delicious food. I am so full. The prices are very reasonable

Nice ambience, warm atmosphere. Excellent food taste and portions.

We are going to this restaurant And we are try a food like allu gobbi and rice Samosa to and some more items I really like food and crew members nature very good Service is 💯 good I really like it hoop so I’m come again

My friend and I come about once a week to get the butter chicken here and it is always consistently phenomenal. Service is always great aswell. 5/5

Very delicious food and atmosphere was really good. Ambience are really good and services. Really really really good.😊 Must try this place😊❤️

We have dined here multiple times and the food is alway delicious! We like the chicken biryani, mulligutaney (sp?) soup, chicken 65 appetizer, the catfish fritter appetizers, vegetable samosas and curry shrimp and curry chicken. We highly recommend Namaste Restaurant!

We tried Namaste for the first time….was very good, we will be trying more dishes. Nice to have a good Indian restaurant in the neighborhood.

Ordered takeout after a long day. So comforting and such generous portions! Can’t wait to go back!

The restaurant has a nice, relaxing atmosphere and minimal but pleasing decor. The wait staff were timely and courteous. The menu had an excellent selection in all categories. The salted lassi and the mango lassi were very good. For an appetizer we shared Gobi Manchurian. It tasted fresh and was well plated. We ordered Shrimp Korma and Chicken Vindaloo for entrees, along with Onion Kulcha. Both of us enjoyed our choices. The only drawback was that there could have been more shrimp in mine and more chicken in his. However, the sauces in both were delicious. The Vindaloo sauce was full flavored with just the right amount of heat. The Shrimp Korma sauce was a delicate blend of subtle spices and flavors. Rice was fragrant and fluffy. Everything we had ordered tasted freshly made. We left knowing that not only would we return - we would also bring our friends.

Really great food! Amazing spice level. Huge portions. Blessed to have found this place!

I just deleted my old review to post another one ! If Google would allow me to write more than one review this place would receive it !! This was my third time here and they NEVER disappoint ! The food is delicious, the place is immaculate, the service super friendly and the price is great !! If you enjoy authentic Inidan food as much as I do then head on over to Namaste India for a wonderful, authentic Indian delight ! Thank you once again. I’ll keep coming back. All the best !!

I couldn’t wait to try this new restaurant serving delicious Indian food. The best in the area hands-down. It’s worth seeking out.

As a NYC transplant my standards for Indian food are very high. Namaste did not disappoint. We ordered to go and the food was extremely flavorful, really decent portions and had just the right amount of heat when I asked for medium spicy. the Zaafrani Dal (yellow lentils) was exceptional and the Bhindi Masala (stewed okra) is literally the beat we ever had. The lamb rogan gosh was comed to perfection. Happy to cross the hudson to come eat this super delicious food!

Delicious and inexpensive. My favorite Indian restaurant consistently.

Amazing authentic Indian food, and the staff are very nice people

Great space, great food, great service! Particularly love the naan, thiner than Iam accustomed, which I quite enjoyed. Baingan bartha, zaffrani dal, and chicken tikka masala all fantastic.

Awesome staff they were soo good and helped us with everything we asked for I highly recommended this particular place for there reception and delicious taste they have in there recipes.

This place was amazing . Authenthic food . So flavorful and staff was amazing . Cannot wait to go back .

The sever was fantastic. The price was reasonable for the food. The place was very clean. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly.

tastiest chicken marsala the best I have had in poughkeepsie

Excellent Indian food around this place I really enjoyed with my friends, first time eating Indian food and also she serve like friendly

This place is wonderful! Exceptional service and great food. So excited to have a new Indian restaurant right near where we live.

Really enjoyed everything we ordered. Pickup up a to go order and it was packaged well and everything was fantastic.

Delighted to find an Indian restaurant nearby, fantastic food. The zafrani biryani is outstanding, with perfectly tender meat.

Had some really delicious Indian food here. The service was great and the inside of the restaurant was quite cozy too. Will definitely be back.

Great food! Loved the lamb curry and it was a good portion, about $35pp with an entree, naan, and a drink. A little cold inside though, they could turn up the heat a bit. Overall a great experience!

My visit to Namaste was wonderful. The ambiance was calm and inviting, and the service exceeded my expectations. The staff were warm and attentive, especially the gentleman who helped us. The food was the highlight rich flavors, perfect seasoning, and clearly made with care. I can’t wait to come back again.

The restaurant feels clean and fresh, the food it was delicious, and the server was super friendly. Definitely we are coming back. The samosas are ok but the chile chicken appetizer and the noon so good!, the lamb and the chicken were super tender and delicious.

Namaste Indian Poughkeepsie 260 North Rd. (Across from Marist) We lived in Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC, in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The first Indian Restaurant there was on 74th St. It was called Dehli Palace. That became our gold standard for Indian food, one of my favorite cuisines. Eventually, dozens of Indian Restaurants followed, transforming the area to the aptly-named Little India. But none of them could hold a candle to Dehli Palace. Our favorite dish was Reshmi Kebab, a platter of sizzling delicately spiced chicken breast on skewers over a bed of onions and peppers. Some Indian restaurants call it Murgh Malai Kebabs. This new restaurant in Poughkeepsie names it Malai Kebabs. And it's the same as our Holy Grail Reshmi Kebabs. Swoon! We started our lunch with Vegetable Pakoras and assorted vegetable fritters Then the aforementioned Malai Kabab (Boneless chicken breast seasoned with an array of herbs, spices, ginger, garlic and cream.) A lovely Basmati Rice, and Tandoori Roti Service was attentive and gracious. I included the wine list because it was so thoughtfully curated. The room is simple yet elegant We will be back!

Namaste, Namaste! So happy to have a good eat-in Indian restaurant in the area. We enjoyed the food and service. The decor is not much changed from the previous falafel restaurant. It's very clean and comfortable if not atmospheric. We had the fried calamari appetizer, which came with butter chicken sauce. I'd prefer a lighter batter but they were tasty. My husband and I loved the tandoori shrimp, a generous portion, and the dal makhani. I asked for medium spice on the lentils and would call it more on the hot side. Not too hot for my taste, but next time I'd get mild. The whole adds up to more than the sum of its parts, so 5 stars, and I look forward to enjoying more meals here!

Excellent, Authentic Indian food. Welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Glad to have a good Indian restaurant nearby!!

I ordered take out from here tonight with low expectations as food In this area tends to be blah. The place was extremely clean and staff friendly. The food was absolutely incredible. We ordered malai kofta, chicken biryani, cauliflower, chili chicken, and naan. Everything tasted fresh it was not greasy at all. I am so happy to have local tasty Indian food in the area and hope to see this place do well!

The food is genuinely some of the best stuff i’ve ever had. I’m a college student here in poughkeepsie so i’ve tried plenty of restaurants in the area and this is by far my favorite. If you go you might be greeted by Singh. He’s extremely kind and has great service skills. Me and a friend normally order the tandoori chicken and butter chicken and it always comes out great. check this place out!!

This place just earned some new regulars! Husband said the place looked lovely and had fantastic service. Everything is so fresh and incredibly delicious. I got a mild butter chicken and it's honestly the best I've ever had. Husband got the vindaloo and even though I have a shamefully low tolerance for heat I could only resist the scent and how tender the chicken was for so long. Tasted too good to even care that my mouth was on fire. Yes I went back for more. Zero regrets. Will be getting more in the future. Would post a photo but we ate it all too fast.

My son and I stopped in on Sunday for some chana masala take out and let me tell u the food was sooooo good and the service we received was top tier! Reasonable pricing, large portions and a great atmosphere. Cannot wait to eat in-house next time!

Came for lunch and sat at the bar. I had Vegtable Manchurian and Aloo Gobi, medium spiced. Both were delicious. The service was great. I am planning to make this my spot to eat when I am in Poughkeepsie.

All the food we had was great. Service was good too. And the interior was nicer than we expected. We had assumed it would be a takeout place with a few tables but they had a nice bar and dining area. We will definitely be regulars. Nice to finally have good Indian close to the City of Poughkeepsie.

I have visited this restaurant twice, and both experiences were outstanding. The food is consistently flavorful and delicious, with generous portion sizes. The service is attentive and friendly, and the ambience is warm and inviting, a nice surprise given the location. This will definitely be one of my go-to spots.

I've actually been living in Poughkeepsie for a year, but I couldn't find any good food anywhere because nobody here makes good Indian food. But ever since Namaste opened, I've been eating here. The food is very good, and the people who work there are also friendly.

We were a multi-generational group, and we all loved this restaurant. The service was so friendly, warm, and helpful. The food was delicious. We got a variety of vegetarian dishes, and the flavors were excellent. Highly recommend this place!

This place is the best Indian food I’ve had in a while. I think it’s competitor is Gymkhana in Fishkill but for Indian food in Poughkeepsie with GREAT prices, you can’t beat this place. Everything tastes fresh and authentic and cokes to order. Only downfall was the bartender wasn’t clocked in yet so I had to settle for a sprite instead of a margarita. I don’t have any pictures but I’ll be doing a review on my Tik Tok in a few days: ayek_eats if you’re interested. My advice, dont drink the free water they give you. It tastes horrible but other than that, i’ll be back again and again. Get the tandoori chicken!!

My new favorite Indian restaurant in the Hudson Valley. The service and selections are outstanding — these one-star reviews have to be fake, I order from here or, like tonight, eat in their nice dining area regularly and have never had anything but excellent meals. Congratulations on your superb new(-ish) establishment!

Delicious sauces-light on the vegetables and chicken. Brought it home and added my own chicken.

Really nice, fast service.

I was sad to know Falafel was go e, but delighted to have a new favored.

Food was very good, but service was slow.

Food was very good. But a bit pricey for the portions you get. I called to confirm how many pieces of Naan cake per order, the person said 2, it was literally one piece cut in half that cost 3 dollars plus. The entree was almost 18 dollars with very little chicken in it. Good food, just expensive for what your actually getting.

Stick with the chicken Tikka masala and you’ll have no complaints. It’s always on the money

We have ordered few times from the restaurant. Initially when the restaurant first opened the quality was excellent. The last few times the food has not been good, the quality has gone down significantly . Our recent order included stale dishes. We will not be ordering from this restaurant moving forward. Disappointed!!

We love Indian food I ordered takeout from this restaurant we need to throw away all the food

Worst Indian food I ever had in USA

I ordered vegetable biryani wanted with spicy… but nothing good no salt, no spicy only turmeric powder and lot of oil. Very less amount of rice and more vegetables. It is my third time I have ordered food here, all the time I told them Make it spicy and keep it less veggies . I never order again from them

Our dining experience was absolutely dreadful. Initially, the hostess seated us at a table for two, but the tablecloth was filthy, covered in noticeable stains. When I pointed this out, she didn’t even apologize or replace the tablecloth. Instead, she reluctantly moved us to another table. Unfortunately, the new table was just as bad—equally dirty with crumbs and sticky spots, as if it hadn’t been cleaned in days. We felt trapped because the restaurant didn't have table for two, and we had no other seating options. The waitress’s rude behavior made it worse; she kept glaring at us, clearly annoyed that we had complained about the dirty tablecloth. The food was a complete letdown. We ordered samosa chaat, which was utterly disappointing—soggy, tasteless , as if it had been sitting out for hours. When I asked for straws, the waitress handed us cheap paper straws that disintegrated in our drinks within minutes, making them unusable. To top it off, the main course arrived late, and the waitress was too busy talking on her phone to check on us or ask how the food was. The dishes were bland, and not poorly presented, with no attention to quality. Service was nonexistent. I had to call the waitress three times just to get salt and pepper, and each time, she rolled her eyes as if we were inconveniencing her. It was clear the staff didn’t care about customer satisfaction. This was, without a doubt the worst dining experience we’ve ever had, and we won’t be returning.
