Hits all the boxes. Everything was so tasty. Lopsang was an incredible waiter who helped us with any questions we had. We had chicken and beef momos, pakoda, chili chicken with tingmo, fried rice, and chowmein. Everything was a 10/10. The cocktails are delicious. We had the cucumber drink, the sunrise, and namaste. We found our new go to spot!

Have been here twice and enjoyed it both times. Their soups are phenomenal. Can never go wrong with momos, the vegetable ones are the best in my opinion. The waitress is sweet and polite. They have great cocktails as well along with Indian beer that was right up my alley

The place has an amazing atmosphere. The art was just beautiful. The food was amazing and the presentation was next level. My favorites were the Rock shrimp, chicken momo with Jhol and the fried ice cream. Not pictured Namaste Brooklyn was my favorite drink. I'll definitely be back

Wow. I just finished my meal, and I’m still stunned. Sooooo good. I wanted a hearty, spicy meal, and I remembered my favorite Indian spot in San Francisco is a mix of Himalayan with flavorful spice, so I stopped by. I told the waiter what I was looking for (spicy and hearty) and he he recommended the Momo dumplings and chicken curry. I only needed one main course and I had read the Momo dumplings may not fill me, so I ordered the chicken curry and asked for it to be spicy. It wasn’t. But the attentive waiter checked in with me, and when I mentioned it wasn’t spicy enough, he brought over the Momo dumpling sauce (which he had previously mentioned was spicy) and a chili oil. Holy crap. The Momo dumpling sauce is probably my favorite spicy sauce. I wish I could get a jar of it. The chili oil was also divine, and the heat was perfect. Super kind waiter, cool spot, and delicious food. What more could you ask for?

Namaste Brooklyn is located at the heart of Cortelyou Rd near Ditmas park Brooklyn. I went with my family 5 people. They have outdoor seating and indoor. We sat inside the restaurant because of their beautiful ambiance. There are beautiful Art paintings of Nepal & Tibet on the wall. All the staff are welcoming and very friendly. First we ordered cocktail drinks for adult and their two special mocktails for children. Ditmas Old fashion is very good, I also like Namaste Brooklyn. My wife loves the Smiley Namaste mocktail. Among appetizers Crispy Rock shrimp and Gyuma are my favorites. I also like Aloo Dum. Server keep checking on us with drinks and refill water. I had beef fried rice for main course it was delicious. I also like momo, jhol momo and spicy pork. Dessert both Green tea and vanilla ice cream are delicious, my kids love them. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely come back again. Highly recommended.

Neighborhood gem! Choose the tingmo to pair with your curry, it is so fluffy and is the perfect flavor boat. The chicken jhol momos are a repeat Uber Eats order for me.

Namaste is such a great little addition to the neighborhood. The food and service is really on point here and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. They may have a pretty limited menu, which is fine since that is a clear indication that everything is fresh and made to order. I ordered the Shrimp Shumai and the Chicken Momo. Both had dipping sauces that really have a spicy kick to them...in a very good way. The bartender also makes a great cocktail as well. I have never tried Himalayan food prior to my recent visit, and it most certainly won't be my last. I will be back!

Great new spot for the neighborhood. The menu aren't particularly exotic, I am sure there are more to Himalayan food than just dumplings and Baos. But I am pleasenly surprised by the food. The spicy stuff carries a punch. The chicken lollipop is really cool too, more creative than your average Thai fried chicken wing. The bartender is also great, made a special mocktail just us. Great service, and great price point, there is no reason not to stop by.
