Description

Located in a converted Hennepin Avenue house, Namaste has an ambiance that's both cozier and more elegant than most south Asian eateries. Its sunny walls and sparkling hardwood floors make it an inviting spot to linger over a glass of wine or pot of chai. The restaurant trades in Nepalese cooking--dal, chaat, several curries--that tends to be lighter and fresher than most local Indian fare and offers several vegetarian and vegan options.

  • 2007 | BEST CHAI

    Or, more precisely, masala chai, an addictive blend of hot milk, spices, and black tea, a South Asian favorite usually found in Twin Cities coffeehouses in a cardboard carton in concentrate form. Better to think outside the box and head to Uptown's Namaste Café for freshly brewed chai made to order in intriguing flavor combinations. While the Eucalyptus Chai may be an exotic curiosity, other combos are more alluring. The toasty chai anise is like drinking a fresh-baked anise biscotti,... More »
