TBR® Inspection Report:

We've ordered delivery quite a few times and love it!! Their heat scale is good and spicy, so we order the second from the hottest rather than our usual hottest. Their sauce is nice and thick, so it properly sticks to naan & roti when dipping. Their chili pakora are the best we've ever had and mix pakora are delish, too. We eat Indian everywhere we go, across many countries - The quality here is among our favorites! Highly recommend!!

Dined in and had a wonderful experience. Attentive staff, great atmosphere, big portions that were delicious. I will be back!

Always an amazing dining experience here at Darbar. The taste and quality of the food are consistent. My husband and I like celebrating special occasions here.

I have been dining at Namaste for almost two decades! My husband and I having been dining there for date night for 13 years. We moved from Minneapolis to the south metro (25 minutes away) and we still choose this place for date night. We can’t find any place that makes curry like they do. This place is so special and unique, I will always give it 5 stars. We recommend all the dishes. The chai and curry are fantastic. I have never had a bad experience. Eleanor, our server, was fabulous. She went out of her way to make us feel welcomed. I will go out of my way to get takeout from them as well. I hope this review finds you, and you get to experience fabulous dining.

What a Lovely place. Elanor served us with such kindness! Joel and Sam were excellent at relaying what exactly was best on the menu according to our preferences. Honestly, this place feels more like a home and community than a restaurant! Incredible food. Great vibes.

Best food in Minneapolis, first time here and I truly loved everything I ate here . We were a large group so we tried so many dishes and loved everything, the mimosas and coconut chai tea were also delicious.
