Review Namaste Delhi - Epsom

Great food, prompt delivery and really good value for the portion size. Some excellent and unusual new additions to the menu - the prawn pakoras were a highlight. Will be ordering again soon

Ordered lamb byriani for takeaway lunch - delicious! Very generous serving and very prompt service- meal was ready to go, in & out in a minute. Would definitely recommend!

Daughters want some butter chicken tonight. Tried this neighborhood takeaway. $17 for a butter chicken dish with rice. Initially I thought oh it's similar price to the ones in the mall. But when I got them, omg almost double size. Recommended if you need volume.

Great naans, tasty butter chicken (quite sweet), super friendly staff. Keema naan was okay. $15.50 for a BC puts it a bit pricier than other places but you get a free naan on Wednesdays. Note: Toilet is located outside, and you have to go through the kitchen.

This place is the best Indian Food I have ever tasted in my 34 years of living. Over the past year we have been ordering from them, they have given me the confidence to branch out and try different things - all which have been amazing. They not only truly listen when I ask for (real kiwi white girl!) mild in heat but they also very kindly deliver for free even though we are on the brink of their delivery restriction area.

For uni students who are looking for a good meal with a budget, this one is for you! I went to this place today and for just $13.99 (Lunch Special) you can get a Butter Chicken, Naan Bread, Rice + a Drink! What a STEAL! The creaminess of the butter chicken was so smooth and was just full of flavour. The naan bread was also cooked properly. The interior of the place is a bit run down but for the quality of the food and the price, it is worth it. The person who served me was really nice as well.

Some of the best Indian I have had in a long time. Curry sauce was nice and thick with a very generous portion of meat. Flavour was really good! Naan bread was fluffy and thick and tasted great. Will definitely be back.

Always order here love it great tasting food. Cheese naan is full of cheese, the manchurian chicken is soo tasty. Samosas have so much flavour. Highly recommend.

My god this place is good. The chili cheese garlic naan is criminal, but it's criminally delicious! Big fan of everything I've had so far (many vege curries)!! Edit: I had to come back and add more to the review, this place is just so good. I’ve settled on paneer do pyaza as my favourite meal, just wow it’s delicious. I’m walking home tucking into my allo parantha and holy it’s gotta be a 9.5/10. I love this place!

Great curries and really nice staff! The paneers are delicious and great selection. This was me and my partners local when we lived in Greenlane. Sadly have moved West and miss it dearly

Best Indian I’ve had in years!!!! Highly rate the food. 👌🏽👌🏽

100% AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD Amazing quality curries, trust me you wont find a better butter chicken! Amazing team and staff that work here, extremely friendly. This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have been to in my life especially in Auckland. You wont be disappointed. Also amazing lunch specials. Great pricing for full size portions also. This is the only place I will go for Indian cuisine!

Amazing value, delightful food, superb quality. I decided to order food from this restaurant. I'm very impressed with it. As a person who is very sensitive to the quality and picky about the taste, I can say that this restaurant is one of the best Indian takeaways that I've ever tried, we ordered butter chicken and palak paneer, obviously all of the ingredients were so fresh. If you use their app you get discounts and free delivery as well. Very satisfied and recommend to everyone.

Great food and service. A must have in the new market area

Amazing food, highly recommend. We have been twice this week. Love the new menu, the Lolly Pop Chicken is delicious and a hit with our 3 year old (and mum and dad :) ) Amazing flavours, mild is tasty with a nice balance of heat. We have had Butter chicken and Lamb Korma, the Samoas are also really tasty, and home made. YUM YUM YUM - you must try this place!!!

The best quality. I have eaten enough Indian cuisine to know this place is the best. Won't dissapoint.<br/>

Tried this today for lunch and they added a free dhal soup too which was very nice in taste. The curry and the Naan bread was also very good. Will visit again for sure.

Came here and got such friendly service immediately! The lady out front is very approachable and was super nice to repeat things back to me so I understand. I get quite anxious ordering food sometimes but not here because the staff was just so friendly and ready to help. The smell wafting out of the store was super aromatic too. <br/>The food also is super delicious! Rice is fluffy, Chicken Vindaloo was nice and spicy, rich tomato taste and the lamb Madras was super coconut-y! Would come back again :)

I am very fussed when is about food and most of indian cuisine restaurants get very bad reviews from me. Nothing against the cuisine but all about the quality, service and the authentic spices and flavours you get to experience with such a complicated cuisine. Namaste Delhi is a 10/10 from me, l live in Oteha Valley and l drive 30km to experience their dishes. Well done guys 👍

Well worth the drive from south Auckland,biryani was absolutely tasty.excellent customer service.will go back and highly recommended👌excellent amount of food.

A very nice and small place to have Indian food in the town near the city for reasonable prices. The taste is good, makes me remember quite the taste I get in Delhi. It might not have much on the menu, but the ones the have are really good. The team is good too, Kudos

Been here a couple of times, since it is close to my work. Have tried various items off their menu on the lunch specials which was $12.<br/>It comes with rice, curry and a big piece of naan. They all taste quite good and have never disappointed me. So anyone in the area looking for a good lunch deal and wanting to have some Indian food. I will recommend coming here.<br/>

First time to Namaste Delhi and we really enjoyed the experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful - one of us knocked our spoon off the floor and a new clean spoon appeared almost instantly - nice:) We ordered Aloo gobhi which was just the right side of spicy and Kadai paneer which was delicious.  We also ordered mango lassis, and garlic naans. All of this came with a large dish of rice. The portions are generous and our host packed our leftovers for us to bring home. Highly recommended to get your fix of northern Indian dishes.

Great food, awesome service. I called in on the way home from football and they looked after me so well. Delicious butter chicken would definitely recommend 😋

Loved this place. Simple Indian done great. The owners are friendly and work hard to make this a great business.the price was very reasonable.

Perfect food and service, and good choices for vegetarians as we are. And we’ve been to many Indian restaurants, and the naan bread of this restaurant is perfectly cooked, the taste of the dishes are smoothly spiced but not too salty, and their prices are very friendly. 5 stars to recommend!!!

We decided to try this place - curry and rice is comfort food on a rainy day like today! We live close by but had never had a chance to try. It was actually very DELICIOUS! We got Palak Paneer (cottage cheese and spinach) and Chicken Tikka Masala. They were both served with a generous portion of rice. Extremely worth it!! Garlic naan had real garlic on it, and the texture of the naan was perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend everyone to try!! We will definitely be going back to try more! Also, outstanding and friendly service. Thank you! Also they do free delivery in the area!

For sure the best curry in Auckland! Great service, great food, great people! The food is very affordable and you get more than what you pay for, and its absolutely delicious! I highly recommend giving them a cheeky visit! <br/>

Tried the Namaste Lemon chicken- it was delicious! The service was very friendly like one receives when traveling in the Garhwal Himalayas in India.

I love ordering from here as the food is quite prompt and the flavours are usually very authentic. They make very good chicken tikka masala (hot) and chicken vindaloo. Service is pretty good, although their website needs updating as they don’t do free naans on mondays and tuesdays anymore :// would recommend this place for a simple takeaway meal!

Used to part of the Namaste Express chain and was really good. Tried the food here again more recently since the name change and wasn't as happy. They used to be really good at catering for dietary needs but since the change when I've asked for dairy free there's been paneer in my meal so I couldn't eat it. This place is probably fine if you don't have dietary needs.

My daughter placed an order by mistake at Ellerslie and didn't realise until she arrived to pick it up that she had got it wrong. You cancelled her order at Ellerslie and quickly made a new order for her. Thank you very much for the brilliant service and delicious food!

When you're sick of mainstream fastfood like pizza delivery and McDonald's. An order some Indian curry and chicken to eat at home. <br/><br/>Good to have something different once in a while :)!<br/><br/>Food Quality: 3.5/5<br/>Food Quantity: 3/5<br/>Service: 4/5<br/>Price: $10-$20pp

Excellent Indian takeaway place , good service and even better food. Chicken 65 hits the spot. Very clean and good setup . Takeaway pick ups are usually 10 mins .

Had been here with my Indian friends, the food's nice but the hospitality kind of sucks. Evident racial discrimination. Prompt service for three kiwis sitting right besides our table but my friends and I weren't even offered water until we asked for it for couple of times. Sad. Would think twice before visiting again. :(

This is my local Indian restaurant. The foods great I always return for my curry fix we have not been disappointed. Staff's friendly, prices are reasonable.

Me and my partner are regulars here, so the guy working here recognises us - which is always a nice feeling.<br/><br/>Food is nice and fragrant - which surprised us at first because we didn't have much expectation due to the name of the restaurant being "Express Indian".<br/><br/>Keep it up guys :)

Namastay away. The food just tasted like sugar, if I'm getting Indian I want to taste spices and have some heat to my curry. If someone orders medium or hot it should be that not sweet.

Food and service ok. But the moment I realised that this restaurant serves halal, I cancelled order. Why the hell in NZ they would force Christians and others to eat Islamic food? If you want to consume a cruelly slaughtered meat because of your religion, why you expect us to consume it? Why don't you display loud and clear outside your restaurant that you use Halal, so that others can be warned if they don't want to eat.

A good Indian restaurant, nice staff, throughly well cooked food, always on time and hot. Haven't had a bad experience there yet. Prices are reasonable too

Finally a nice Indian takeaway place. Great food most times pretty consistent good variety on the menu. <br/>Not too expensive as you expect from Indian places. Friendly staff. Have been many times. Not bad surprises.

This is a very nice Indian restaurant. The staff and very accommodating and friendly and the food is good and well priced. The only reason I'm not rating them at 5 is because they don't quite have the flavours right for the Indian-Chinese items on their menu. Other than that, everything is delicious! As an added bonus they offer some complementary snacks, which is becoming increasingly rare in Indian restaurants these days.

I frequent this place before most nights a work. I usually go for the vege korma which is one of the best ive had, hands down. Although i found the staff to be alittle stand offish at first I quickly saw that they really do care about customer service, something that i really value. The meals are reasonably priced for what they are, but this place is a notch above most restaurants ive been to so it is a little more expensive but totally worth it. I actually really look forward to coming to Namaste Express. The main point that i wanted to mention is the garlic naan, it is seriously the best thing in this place. I cant even explain it. Must be tried.

I have lunch at Namaste Express Epsom Branch quite often during the week. I normally order the paneer Tikka masala lunch special. and on every occasion the food is amazing. your mouth actually salivate when the meal is placed in front of you. turnaround time is great also. The meal portions if eaten at 12 midday ,keep you full right up to dinner time. highly recommended.

We used to get takeaway from the Market Rd branch every fortnight without fail, so were very loyal regular customers.  On one occasion our order was shocking!  And I mean shocking!  There was something absolutely vile about the beef.  It was so strange its difficult to even describe.  Ive NEVER experienced anything like it before.  It was really crumby like sand and VERY dry and it tasted EXTREMELY odd.  The other dish (a chicken dish was SO hot we couldn't eat it).  I couldn't drive back there that night with the meals because we were getting over the flu, we were just too tired.  We just didn't bother eating it.  Actually, we did eat the rice and a bit (a couple of tablespoons) of the SUPER hot chicken dish.  The following day I telephoned and complained.  The manager said he would call me back.  I waited a couple of days, he never called back.  So, I called back.  He said he asked his chef and meat supplier about the beef and there was nothing wrong with the beef.  I told him there most certainly was, and tried to emphasis that that I wasn't just talking about low grade beef or poorly cooked, I was talking about beef that was completely and utterly inedible as in, we spat it out very quickly.  I asked to speak with the owner.  The manager said the owner was too busy to speak with me.  I asked for a full refund, but all the manager offered was a credit.  I thought "No thanks, a credit only to get more nasty vile curries, no thanks, we didn't get what we ordered, its was inedible, and by law I want a refund".  He refused.  Any place that is THAT tight that they are prepared to lose a customer over $30 (the cost of 2 curries) is a place to be AVOIDED.  I should also mentioned, that this experience was in fact the second time we had complained.  We had complained about a month earlier for a takeaway order.  On that occasion we were issued a credit, which we used for this order.  So, this occasion was a second chance, a last chance as far as Im concerned, hence why I asked for a refund, because we weren't ever going to order from them again, so a credit would've been no good.  I explained this to the manager, he understand, but still refused to refund.  I would give this place a 0 if there was a 0 rating.

Awesome customer service great food always cook my favorite meal to perfection the best in Epsom definitely A+ restaurant. Also try there butter paneer curries the best.

First time at namaste express, really enjoyed the korma, yummy garlic naan. My partner loved the chilli chicken, would definitely have again. Really good service too :)

I order a home delivery now and when i start to eat the food is tasteless such a yukkk food. Wastage of money shit i never order again with you 😏😒

I used to think this place was the bees knees but recently I've been turned off it. I don't think their curries are up to standard anymore. Or maybe they've changed the recipe slightly. I feel that they're a bit too creamy for me now and when they get cold, and they do quickly, it's like eating globs. That being said the taste is fantastic, nice and spicy and nice chicken breast inside the curry as well. May be back to try a different dish

One of the worst restaurants ever. Poorly managed and poor service. Placed an order for delivery but the guy informs that it would take an hour to deliver - this when the place is just 400m away from home. We decided to do a takeaway and went in to find the whole restaurant empty (why did the guy say they r busy, wen its actually empty). We waited for more than half n hr and then the guy comes to us to tell us that they do not have chicken in store. Imagine - an indian restaurant with chicken out of stock. We ordered what we could and on having it - too much colour, greasy and just pathetic. That was it. Utterly pathetc food with no sense of customer service. Far better options available. A definitely pass - dont go there!!!

I booked it for my daughter's birthday and it was simply Good. The food they provided was appreciable. I liked it. The staff were friendly and helpful.  Hoping to go there soon.

Dined in at this outlet for the second time just recently. The first time was about 7 months ago and I took a client for Christmas lunch, no alcohol at this venue, so was a little disappointed when I found this out. I was attracted here by their fantastic reviews. The lack of alcohol was well and truly made up for with exceptional food and brilliant service. Don't come here if you want atmosphere, come if you are after delicious curries. 2 nd visit was the lunch deal - what can I say, "superb" value and food. This place destroys any willpower to stick to a diet. Good job guys!

I work nearby and dine here atleast once a week. I have tried many Indian restaurants and takeaway, this place, by far, makes the best curry in town. Hands down. Friendly service, excellent curry. Keep it up.

What can we say about our favourite curry place? Amazing service, amazing flavour filled curries, attentive, hard working staff, who remember our orders. Every curry we have every had has been full of flavour, hot and the perfect amount of spice. Our only problem is that we have to try not go there too much! <br/><br/>Best Indian restaurant we have been to.

Namaste express is my local Indian take out and I have never been disappointed (noting some weeks I eat here 4/7 nights)! The food is amazing, curries are all so full of flavour, naan is delicious, and the service is great! I would highly recommend Namaste Express to anyone after a quality curry in the area.

Very good quality take always. Flavours are authentic and the portions are good.Great service - nice to have a place that gives you a pickup time and sticks to it.<br/>

Excellent quality - Excellent quantity!  One word to summarize Namaste Express DELICIOUS!!  We tend to get takeaways once per week  and guess what - we return to Namaste.  Try the Korma chicken or lamb - wow.  We are given generous salads which are always fresh as at no extra cost.  <br/><br/>Most highly recommended to everyone.<br/><br/>Barbara

Food was really good although we order by phone and should have got our food ready 25min later, I still had to wait another 15 or 20 min to get the food. I assume it's because they are good and popular... However they could improve their time management.<br/>I recommend for the food and will definitely go back there!

Had a takeaway last week for my dinner and i tried handi chicken curry, got real awesome indian flavours never had such a gud indian curry with authentic taste since been to nz... Customer service was really a plus point... Mr.virender was very polite n helpful...Havent seen such customer service at indian food place... Loved it wud definitely recommend this place!!!

My colleague and self, we were in Auckland on an assignment. My colleague, being a vegetarian found it a challenge when it came to finding a suitable place to have food. The Manager, of the place we were staying suggested a few places around. We did try quite a few restaurants & takeaways. And, then on day 3 we told ourselves let us try this other place the manager was suggesting ….. We walked in with an open mind after being to few other places…. Surprise, surprise!! <br/><br/>The food was fresh and a bliss to your taste buds. Without drowning the taste of the ingredients with an onslaught of spices, but maintaining the subtle balance of spice and the veggies/meat the food is served. All items on the Menu (curries/mains) comes with 4 different levels of spiciness – ‘mild’, ‘medium’, ‘hot’ & ‘Indian hot’. A very thoughtful action! Such small details are a great thought. <br/><br/>With a staff that comes across with equal warmth and freshness as the food that is served in the restaurant, you leave the place with a great feel and the thought of wanting to come back ( Every service industry owner’s dream :-) ). We braved to order ‘Indian hot’ and was politely suggested by the staff to start with level ‘hot’ and then if found less spicy to top up. Bless the soul :-) . ‘Hot” was for us spicy right indeed!!<br/><br/>During our stay there we did try out most of the dishes (Veg/non-veg). All the recipes are good. However, if you do not take to a sweet twist to your curries/dished then you can stay clear of Butter chicken/paneer/lamb ; Kormas etc.<br/><br/>  At $10.99 the Luch combo is a breeze.  The food is served quiet fast; If you, order for Biriyani, then you need to give them some time as it is cooked fresh. But is is worth the wait.<br/><br/>If you are in the locality one should definitely check this place out. Yes, Looks unassuming and tiny as you walk past.... but they surprise you when youstep in ...order food and have it....<br/><br/>Thank you guys @ Namasthe Express, Epsom for make us feel so good and at home kinda feel. Cheers!!

Great food and excellent service, both of which keep bringing me back at least once a week! Latest obsession is the Handi Chicken, but having tasted much of the menu there is so much to recommend. Superb dining experience, whether eating in or taking out.

Second time here and the service is fantastic and the food is just so freshly made, the flavours are incredible. Another ☆☆☆☆☆ experience. Today I am having the kadai paneer which is amazing, and my friend is having the chef's special curry. We will both be back soon.

Had dinner with my friend's family there 3 weeks ago. Very nice staff. The food was so good that my teenage son said it is the best Indian food we could find in Auckland. Two thumbs up.

Tried this place just recently after moving to Greenlane and loved it straight away. Great food, excellent value for money and friendly service. This is the best Indian takeaway in Auckland no doubt and one of my two favourite places to eat in the Newmarket / Epsom area. Even the decor is very good.

I've been a regular here since moving to work just round the corner earlier this year.<br/><br/>Namaste is, without a doubt, the BEST Northern-style Indian restaurant in Auckland - and probably the 2nd best I've been to in the whole country behind the old pre-earthquake Copper Chime in Christchurch.<br/><br/>It has all the boxes ticked : <br/><br/>- Friendly, attentive staff - sometimes TOO attentive - 'yes, the food is utterly delicious', just like the other 90 times you asked me on previous visits! :) Rather that than the alternative though.<br/><br/>- Excellent, authentic northern Indian curries that aren't watered down or overly creamy like most places do. Theres nothing worse than eating a Kiwi-ised curry that leaves a coating of cream fat in your mouth, and finding places like Namaste that don't do that is unfortunately a rarity.<br/><br/>- Consistently high flavour regardless of heat. I'll happily have anything hot or medium, whereas my wife struggles with anything over mild. Normally 'mild' means 'flavourless', but my wife loves this place because her mild butter chickens and mango chickens actually have some good flavour.<br/><br/>- Excellent value - their $12.99 lunch combo 'with the works' in particular has been a boon for many a post-meeting working lunch.<br/><br/>- Creative chefs - sometimes I just walk in and say 'make me something new', and the results are ubiquitously delicious.<br/><br/>Probably sounding fairly effusive by now, I have no 'skin in the game', I just recognise when a small team works their hardest to provide an excellent standard of food and service at a reasonable price, and the team at Namaste nail it.<br/><br/>Two thumbs up!

Absolutely love the Namaste Express Lemon Chicken!! It was a favorite lunch dish when I lived in Auckland and I miss having it. Luckily I still make trips to Auckland for work frequently and make sure I have time to stop in for lunch or dinner.

We come here at least once a week since the day they open about 4 years ago. Could not find a bad food even if u try hard. The service is excellent, always welcome feeling and the best indian food in Auckland.

By far my favourite place for Indian Takeaways. Great service. The vegeterian korma in particular is one of my favourite foods. My wife and I treat ourselves once a week.

I regularly have their $11 lunch special trying to branch out from my beloved hot lamb vindaloo. This place is such good value. Their food is exceptionally fresh with great flavours.  Highly recommended BUT addictive!

It is one of the best customer service that you could ever get in auckland thanks to Virender. Fresh food everytime i visit on lunch time. Clean and tidy place .

Working in an Indian restaurant overseas, we like to check out Indian food shops. Came here for lunch & dinner. Very authentic food! Superb flavours & kind, friendly service. Decoration is simple & clean. The simplicity might be not everybody's taste but the quality of the food & good prices compensates this. Bottom line: outstanding price quality rating, super friendly service. We'll come again!!!

I keep coming back here so that shows it must be good. Other places you would not return to.

Excellent food and customer service. Quite possibly the best Indian takeaway in Auckland. The service is outstanding, nothing is ever a problem. The lightest, fluffiest Naan bread that is only put in the Tandoor when you arrive to pick up, as a result it is incredible! Highly, highly recommended.

The service was extremely friendly and the food excellent. The passion of the chef in developing each dish and cooking on the night came through in every mouthful. For Indian food with a twist of modernity - I highly recommend Namaste Express in Epsom :) <br/>

I eat here every week when I'm in Auckland. I try and mix it up between the lamb and chicken dishes, and I think the quality is second to none across the broad range I've had. The flavours are intense with the small touches making this the best value and tasting Indian I've ever had!

Often head here for lunch and it's great Indian at a great price. They're super friendly and remember faces and your usual order which is a nice touch. Highly recommend.

I'm always pleased with my meals at Namaste Express. Came here for lunch again yesterday and ordered a mango chicken curry, which was delightfully hot, creamy, a little bit sweet/nutty and not too spicy. My partner got a different curry and also ordered a mild one but it was still too hot, so watch out! Their $10.99 lunch deals are the best and the naan bread is also super fresh and delicious.<br/><br/>The staff are always very courteous, warm and helpful and... great customer service is so hard to find sometimes! I came here some other time and the waiter offered to cool down my curry for me, as he could see I was struggling with the heat, which was very kind of him. Highly recommend.

Very courteous people. I like the way they mix in some veg with my meal. Would prefer quieter environment for reading. Brian Waslh

You must try the Mango chicken meal,..TDF!!!••°°’<br/><br/>Chefs are from the northern part of india (chamoli Garhwal in Uttarakhand) interesting.<br/><br/>Not Spicy enough for me unfortunately, its more powder spice is that just being cheap or what???<br/><br/>I wouldn't recommend the Butter Chicken though also, sorry not creamy enough/ ur traditional taste.<br/><br/>Impressive, and the Papadaam's rock but u cant eat too many.

Have been to Namaste Express a couple of times now off the back of the positive reviews it has on here, and haven't been disappointed. It's a small place and I've only ever ordered my food to take away - it's probably a bit too small for my liking to dine-in. The service is excellent, both when making an order over the phone and coming to pick it up. The guys who run it are extremely friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. I love a hot curry, and the hot tikka masala I ordered was very nice for the price (and definitely hot). The rice itself is delicious - you can really tell the difference here compared to cheaper alternatives. While you can find plenty of Indian restaurants offering $10 specials around, I'd much rather pay slightly more for the noticeable difference in quality. Not the best curry I've had in my life, but it was very, very good for the price. Considering this alongside the excellent service, I'll definitely be back again soon.

This has got to be by far the best Indian restaurant in Auckland. We have tried it once and have not gone anywhere else since. True fans we are! Curry Wednesdays are now a tradition at home due to this little gem on Great South Road. Not only is the food very tasty, as the staff is also very thoughtful and friendly (especially the front-man Virender). We would definitely recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Malai Kofta (make sure you get some garlic naans with your curries!).

Very nice food with generous portions, but maybe a little too many spices, which is ok if you are used to it, but otherwise excellent service.

Best Indian food I've ever had!!! Its great that the chefs are cooking right in front of you and I appreciate that the chefs (Sam and Pawan) can add a twist to any dish. Always fresh ingredients, consistently high standards, great taste and well priced.<br/><br/>Excellent customer service from the manager Veeru who always tells us if there are chef specials, new dishes on the menu or offers well matched suggestions.<br/><br/>Car parking is good, never a problem and its stress free dining!!

I visited it last month with my fiancée at Namastey Express Epsom... We are huge fans of Indian food.. Namaste Express does the best lamb seekh kabab and lamb jalfrazee we've ever had... Also the service was excellent... Really friendly staff... Cool guys:p cheers keep it up!!!!! Got a real quick option to visit at weekends... :))

I'm this close to no longer going to any other Indian restaurant in Auckland. <br/><br/>I've tried to find other Indian places closer to the CBD, at various price points, but they have all fallen short.<br/><br/>Namaste Express scores on freshness - its curries are studded with quality cuts of meat, fresh vegetables, freshly ground spices and fresh herbs. Think curries are stodgy? Not here! They're zingy and aromatic. You will want to lick the bowl to get the last bit of sauce. <br/><br/>It also scores on its naans. They are consistently the lightest, crispiest, least soggy naans I found anywhere. <br/><br/>And the service is always professional, engaging and friendly. You will leave with a smile on your face. <br/><br/>The only thing I don't rate that highly is the (free) amuse-bouches - vege sticks with mayo in summer, a not very exciting soup in winter. Recommendation to Namaste - consider serving your poppadoms with sauces and chutneys instead!<br/><br/>This Namaste Express (corner of Market Road and Great South Road) is a small hole in the wall which also does takeout. I tend to go there, but if you want a bit more dinner ambience and a Kingfisher, go to their bigger Namaste Express Restaurant and Bar further along Great South Road (I haven't tried their third place recently opened in East Tamaki). Last time I went the menu was very similar and the chef used to be one of the chefs at the little Namaste Express, so it was really good too.

This is the best Indian food you can get in Auckland!! <br/><br/>We first went there when they had just opened to get a menu and compare to our regular local, they were just so friendly and welcoming and I must say I was really impressed with the quality of the menu - no photocopied double sided A4 here!! Who thinks marketing isn't important?! If they put this much into the presentation of the menu then the food must be worth a go.<br/><br/>We have eaten there for lunch and we regularly get deliveries (Free Delivery) - they have mobile EFPOS which is great. <br/><br/>The food is exceptional &amp; even our children get excited when we answer the "What's for dinner" question with "Indian".

Thank you for all the lovely meals you make for my partner and I when we dine at your restaurant.<br/><br/>The ingredients are fresh, the spice levels are perfect, presentation is contemporary and the service from Virender and his team are excellent.<br/><br/>Can you please consider opening a restaurant in Manurewa, Manukau :)<br/><br/>Keep up the good work

We love Indian food, and go out regularly to different Indian restaurants, and I would rate our dining experience at Namaste Express (Epsom) worthy of 5 stars! <br/><br/>Not only did we receive friendly and unpretentious customer service, but the food exceeded our expectations. On the surface, the Epsom restaurant/takeaway looks like a regular Indian food vendor, but the food was just as good, or better than most Indian restaurants we've been to. <br/><br/>We enjoyed the Lamb Korma and Palak Paneer, and I must say, the texture of the cheese naan we ordered was the best I've ever tried! It was delicate and fresh. The flavour of the curries was well balanced and it was great to see and taste fresh herbs in the Palak Paneer. Delicious.<br/><br/>Rajneesh Kumar was great at approaching us to ensure we were comfortable, as well as another waiter (who I didn't get his name) who served us also with a genuine smile.<br/><br/>Overall, great experience and we will definitely be back for more.

5 Star all the way. Nice restaurant &amp; Excellent service by the staff and food was Devine + alot of varieties. Would recommend to all.<br/>Now i am number 1 fan of this restaurant and will be a regular customer.

I really enjoy indian food, but Namaste express is a really authentic Indian takeaway and restaurant.. All their food is tastey, my favorite would be their smoked flavored tandoori chiken, and lamb shish.. their curries are the best in town, well done on the food and the excellent service from the friendly efficient staff!! 10/10

Had a birthday party for my Daughter and it was the best one we had. Everything and everyone were taken care of by the staff. We had 30 guests and all thoroughly enjoyed the great service, ambiance and most importantly the food.<br/><br/>This is the second time in a row we celebrated the birthday party there.

A great find, lovely Indian food with a huge choice PLUS many gluten free items clearly indicated. I love choosing from the menu, and find the staff really friendly and efficient especially Rajneesh. Will be back regularly and recommend to all especially to Coeliacs who don't often have such a choice. Well done guys<br/>Janice

I am a regular at Namaste as I live in the neighbourhood. I wanted to write a review to say how consistently delicious the food is. I eat mostly vegetarian dishes here but have had the prawns and fish. I have found the staff to be so warm and friendly and would recommend eating in as well as the presentation of food delivered to the table is beautiful.

My wife doesn't like Indian food, until we ate from this place. We had the lamb jalfrezi and the spectacular prawn madras accompanied by rice and some of the nicest naan I have eaten in Auckland(not oily at all). A great addition to the neigbourhood and this visit won't be our last

We tried Namaste after they delivered a flier and our local Remuera takeaway had become pretty average and inconsistent. <br/>We were impressed with the delicious refined flavours and lean chicken breast used. Always consistent . Great friendly service. Love the complimentary salad - rounds out the rich flavours nicely.<br/><br/>We look forward to our weekly (or more) meal from Namaste. We try to save it for Fridays but sometimes we can't wait that long...

Friendly staff, great service and awesome food. Malai Kofta is a personal favourite of mine and their nan breads are some of the best I've tasted :) They know me by name now and it's always a pleasure to pop in for a $10 lunch special. Fast service means I'm never late back to my desk.

Always professional, the boys at Namaste Express really know how to make customers feel welcome. The food is always expertly prepared and taste wonderful. The service is exceptional and they remember your order as if you were in there daily. We used to have lunch there and with half an hour, we were hard pressed to find anywhere that we could sit and eat without feeling rushed. Namaste Express always had our order on the table as soon as we sat down - always immaculate, always amazing. Now, I go there about once a week for dinner and am excited for their new branch opening in Highbrook and their sit down restaurant in Greenlane. Definitely recommend, I haven't had better Indian food anywhere in Auckland.

Simply the best. Highly recommended!<br/><br/>Favourite Indian restaurant/takeaway by far. <br/><br/>Fantastic authentic Indian food made with care and attention to detail and always fresh. All served with complimentary salad and poppadoms. <br/><br/>The owner and his staff are very friendly and always willing to provide assistance when you want to try something outside of the so-called 'standard' Indian dishes.<br/><br/>Their lemon chicken is top shelf and their vindaloo is outstanding!

Ok so I get to Namaste Express nice looking place. Food was ok. There's only one thing that I felt uncomfortable eating there is that I felt like the owner was watching me eat the whole time I was there. Would I go back and to Namaste Express the answer is No.

Best vindaloo in Auckland.<br/><br/>The food is always great, well priced and great meal size.<br/><br/>I have to say this is the best looking indian food iv seen, they take great pride in their food.<br/><br/>I eat here two-three times a week.

After moving from the UK, it took a while to find a good Indian but I am so SO glad I found Namaste Express!<br/><br/>Every Friday I get my curry from them and I have never come across such a consistently excellent curry as I get from here. You can tell with every mouthful that the ingredients are perfectly fresh and it means that every curry always tastes amazing.<br/><br/>The additional poppadoms and salad that come with the curry are a bonus!

Tasty curries, with rich flavours and consistent quality. Friendly staff &amp; very clean premises. I get takeaway at least once a week from these guys.<br/><br/>Meal sizes are decent, and come with poppadoms and a salad.

I must admit, I'm not a big Indian food eater but sometimes I really feel like it.<br/><br/>Came here for lunch after reading the reviews on here. The location was great as I was going to pick my sister up from school in an hour and just made it for the lunch specials.<br/><br/>The butter chicken (medium spiced) which I ordered was among the best I've had so far. Not oily or lumpy like others I've had. It came out within 5 minutes of ordering. Portion was generous for $10 and it came with a naan bread.<br/><br/>I also ordered some onion bhaji, vegetable pakora and various flavours of naan to takeaway. All fantastic flavours!<br/><br/>Not really somewhere you would go for a romantic meal or for a nice dining experience as it is more takeaway based.<br/><br/>Overall, great food and reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is alright.<br/><br/>I will be returning here without a doubt!

Namaste Express has fast become one of my favourite Indian Restaurants. I have consistently received delicious food and friendly service and it's always speedy! Highly recommended! My faves are the Mango Chicken and Cheese, Chilli and Garlic Naan!

The food was generous, tasted delicious and was definitely great value for money. Actually, I was blown away by the service, the quality of the takeaway bags and menus and how tidy and clean the place was. I watch my $$ but felt a little guilty with the value I was getting.<br/><br/>It was one of the very rare Indian places who also serve a salad with your meat dishes so that you feel your meal has a meat and vege balance to it too.<br/><br/>10/10 for this little beauty!!! Definitely my favourite Indian place now I've discovered it!!

We are Indians who do cook at home a lot, but get takeout from these guys at least once a week. We are serious foodies and love our curries among other things.<br/><br/>Their food is so good, tasty and generous unlike a lot of places you would get take out from. (Indian or otherwise) When you ask for hot (spicy), you get hot so be careful.<br/><br/>I have never written a review but have been meaning to write this one for a few weeks. The main guy is very friendly and there are always a few smiles from the kitchen which you can see into.

We discovered namaste by accident. The curries are fantastic, the naan great, the people really lovely and helpful and really good value for money. We were delighted to find they also delivered and they are now a regular part of dining. Nothing better!!!

This is simply the best restaurant I have been to.<br/><br/>The chefs are from Chimoli, somewhere high up in the himalayas and the curries they make are delicious.<br/><br/>I came here with a voucher and all the curries were done to perfection and it was not as oily or greasy as other curry places.<br/><br/>The naans however could be a bit tastier but I thought it was perfect in texture and tasted great when combined with the curries.<br/><br/>I would definitely come back again, the people there were very friendly and helpful, the place was very clean despite it being a takeaway place.<br/><br/>Welldone :)!

This is mainly a takeaway restaurant, a couple of tables are there but no restaurant atmosphere. <br/><br/>Very reasonable prices. <br/><br/>We have enjoyed most dishes we have purchased from here.

Having tried to find a good curry in Auckland for the last year, we finally hit gold. All mains come with rice, salad and popadom which is a nice touch, especially as the poppadoms are fresh, crispy and tasty unlike soggy, greasy offerings I've had in the past. On the 2 occasions we have ordered from them, food arrived piping hot on time and prices are cheap for the quality of food (most mains are $14). The chicken ticka masala was tasty and packed with succulent chicken and the right amount of sauce. Kadai paneer was a new dish for me; Indian cheese in a rich spicy tomatoey sauce with onions and capsicum. You can taste the individual spices in these dishes and both had a good sprinkle of fresh coriander, so often lacking. Naans were huge, puffy and delicious. Would definately recommend!

A relatively new,predominantly takeout Indian venue in Greenlane with a few tables for those who wish to dine in. Some of the best butter chicken and biryani I've tried, and for once there is a generous helping of chicken in the butter chicken, not a couple of pieces swimming in gravy and the prices are very reasonable...$14 for butter chicken and most of the mains around the same price. There are some different options too and they cater for vegetarians. One to try for the future is the special lemon chicken, -chicken preserved with lemons and olives, marinated in layers of herbs and spices slowly cooked. You can't beat it...good Indian food at reasonable prices with good service. A great find!!
