Namaste Indian CuisineA-

447 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94306 · Indian restaurant, Restaurant · Mayfield

Polished Indian spot on California Ave delivering flavorful classics, attentive service, and a cozy-upscale room, with smaller portions and premium pricing.

Why this grade

Namaste Indian Cuisine delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by signature dishes like butter chicken and biryanis, paired with outstanding service attentiveness and elegant interior design. However, occasional consistency variations in seasoning and portion sizing, combined with premium pricing that some find steep, prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. The restaurant competes well with the area's better neighborhood establishments, offering polished execution suitable for celebrations and repeat visits.

One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($22+ mains) which may surprise casual diners
