Namaste Indian Cuisine has been around in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail since the year 2007. Previously they were located at the corner unit along the same row of shops where Table Talk is presently located. They moved to this present location sometime in 2013. I have been to this restaurant a number of times now, each time trying a new dish and this is the second of my blogs on this restaurant. The last one was when I visited them sometime in January this year.

The decoration in this restaurant is simple and it does not have the usually seen Indian art on it's walls that is commonly found in most high end Indian restaurants. Nevertheless, the design is modern yet simple and is comfortable and clean. The kitchen is manned by chefs from India and the floor is manned by two Indian guys. Thank God that the rude Filipino waitress is no longer here and hence customers would have a better dining experience.

Their menu has a wide range of offerings from all parts of India, both north and south. It also offers a decent amount of vegetarian dishes to cater for vegetarians. The price of the dishes are quite reasonable compared to other Indian restaurants in town. This time, we would be trying more of their dishes with bread but do note that their Briyani's are quite good too, especially their Hyderabad Briyani. Another very important advice that I would like to share here is that do be prepared to wait as it takes them on average one hour from time of order to serve the dishes and this would be the case even if you are the sole customer around. It happens all the time and so just be prepared.

| Papadam & Mint Sauce |

Just like other Indian restaurants, the above is served while the dishes are being prepared and they are on the house. Even for this to arrive, it takes them about fifteen minutes but the good thing is that the Papadam's are freshly fried just before being served. Their Mint Sauce is one of the best in town and I would like to rate their Mint Sauce at 9/10. Definitely a well prepared dip.

| Bru Coffee @ RM 5.50 |
Previously, I had tried their Masala Chai and it was really good. This time however, I wanted to try their Bru Coffee and this again was perfectly fixed. I would rate their coffee at 9.5/10 .

| Hydrabad Chicken Briyani @ RM 19.90 |

Their Hydrebad Chicken Briyani came with a huge portion of Briyani Rice, a boiled egg and a piece of chicken with some gravy. The Briyani Rice was very good. I would rate the rice at 9/10 but the chicken was disappointing. It was merely a bone with literally no meat in it. Very disappointing! As a dish, I would only rate this at 6/10 .

| Hydrabad Mutton Briyani @ RM 20.90 |

The Mutton Briyani however, was very good. It came with the same huge portion of rice, a boiled egg and a huge chunk of mutton with bone and there was so much meat to it. The gravy too was very much better, in fact it was very delicious compared to the chicken variation. This would definitely be a highly recommended dish and I would rate this at 9.5/10 .

| Cucumber in Curd |

With the Briyani, also comes the above Cucumber in curd. This again was a fantastic preparation. The curd was thick and the cucumber was very fresh making it a fantastic dish. I would rate this at 9/10 .
 |
| Gravy |
This was not exactly Dhall but a mixture of gravies and it was superb! This again was provided free with the Briyani set. The gravy was so aromatic and wonderfully spiced. I would again rate this at 9/10 .
 |
| Masala Chicken |

The Chicken Masala came in a thick peppery broth and it was a super spicy and delicious dish. Perfectly cooked with tender chicken chunks and potato's, the preparation would be something that stays in your mind for a long time. Another recommended dish here and I would rate this at 9.2/10 .
Overall, though we had to wait a long time for the food to arrive, the food was quite good except for just the chicken briyani which was above average. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here today and would surely return to try out more dishes soon.
