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 third of my blogs on this restaurant. For those that have been following me, you would notice that we had gone there just last week. My brother liked the food and he suggested that we go there again today for lunch.

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.

| Bru Coffee @ RM 5.50 |
Usually they would serve us with Papadam and Mint Sauce but today is the first time that they had forgotten to serve it. Must be due to them being short staffed today. I even observed the owner at the premises trying to ring some workers and asking for temporary help. Anyway, I understand their situation today and did not make a fuss about the service. Since I liked their Bro Coffee from my tasting last week, I ordered the same today too. I would once again rate this at 9.5/10 .

| Chapati @ RM 3.50 |

| Chapati @ RM 3.50 |
We wanted to order Naan but they didn't have it. So we went for the above Chapatis. A set of two Chapatis is priced at RM 3.50 . The Chapatis were good and soft but very small. For the size, it was definitely overpriced. Taste wise, I would rate it at 8.4/10 .
 |
| Yellow Dhall @ RM 8.90 |

| Yellow Dhall @ RM 8.90 |
As for this dish, the portion size compared to the price paid was very satisfying. The dish too was very well prepared. The Yellow Dhall was at the right level of thickness and had a load of spices in it and went well with the bread. I would rate the above at 8.5/10 .
 |
| Bhindi Fry @ RM 8.90 |
 |
| Bhindi Fry @ RM 8.90 |
The above dish was very good. The Lady's Finger was cooked with spices and care had been taken to ensure that the vegetable does not get overcooked. When served, it was still crispy. I have a strong feeling that curd had been used in this dish. A very good dish. I would rate this at 8.9/10 .
 |
| Kerala Fried Chicken @ RM 18.90 |
 |
| Kerala Fried Chicken @ RM 18.90 |
This dish was very unique. Small chicken cubes were steamed to make them tender and then fried with black pepper, cauliflower and onions. It was a very spicy yet aromatic dish. A must try for chicken lovers. I would rate this at 9/10 .
 |
| Deep Fried Mutton Meatballs @ RM 15.90 |
 |
| Deep Fried Mutton Meatballs @ RM 15.90 |
The Mutton Meat Balls were above average only. It lacked mutton and had more egg filling which was somewhat disappointing. I had definitely had hoped for the filling to be more meaty than just this. I would rate this dish at 7/10 only.
 |
| Namaste Special Crab Masala @ RM 35.00 |

| Namaste Special Crab Masala @ RM 35.00 |
This dish was absolutely fantastic. The Crab Masala was excellently prepared in a super spicy thick gravy that was literally finger licking good. The crabs were also well broken allowing the gravy to seep in. I have never tasted Crab Masala that is better than this. Definitely a highly recommended dish. I would rate this dish at a perfect 10/10 .
Overall, though we had to wait a long time for the food to arrive, the food was quite good except for just one or two dishes that were above average. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here today. This is definitely a restaurant that we would be patronising often.
