Namaste Grill & Bar

Was an excellent idea trying this restaurant, so happy we did! I love having this option for something different in the area when we get tired of the same old same old. It is a true gem of Santa Cruz that really can't be beat with its quality food, generous portions and outstanding service. Nestled across the street from the wharf and boardwalk this is the perfect location to take a break and enjoy a delicious meal. There is outdoor and indoor seating and a bar serving up well balanced cocktails. They have authentic Indian cuisine and even pizza, this menu has something for everyone. The service is excellent our server was welcoming and a pure delight, believe his name was Nike. We absolutely devoured the lamb Vindaloo it was easily the best quality and best spice you can find in Santa Cruz. The chef's really go all out and do not cut corners developing a beautiful depth of flavors that is so addicting. We can't wait to go back and try more. 5 stars!

We ordered 2 chai and a portion of samosa. The food was tasty including the 3 chutneys. The only disappointing thing for me was the value for.money. the samosas were pretty small and 3 in a plate costing $13. I felt it was pretty expensive for the portion.

First time ever going to an indian restaurant and I was not disappointed. The food was incredibly good and filling and the staff was also incredibly kind and always there to help. If its your first time coming here or trying real authentic indian food id recommend getting the mild spice levels first due to the more spicy things having a more acquired taste. Overall it was all good and would definitely come back.
