EXCELLENT Based on 1223 reviews Alaina GadsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My favorite Indian food restaurant of all time! The food is absolutely phenomenal. The staff friendly, and the restaurant beautiful! But seriously… the food… AMAZING! So flavorful! I recommend getting their butter chicken and my favorite.. the aloo papdi chaat. My husband likes their lamb dishes. Also their prices are worth what you get! 10/10 recommended this place. Thank you Namaste Jalsa!

Review for Namaste Jalsa Bar – Old Town Alexandria From the moment we walked into Namaste Jalsa Bar, we were wrapped in a warm and inviting atmosphere where the beauty of Eastern culture radiates through every detail, from the décor to the music to the aroma of expertly blended spices. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the gracious hospitality of the owner, Jay. He took the time to learn what we liked and thoughtfully shared his personal favorites, creating a truly tailored and memorable dining experience. His kindness and warmth made us feel not like guests, but like family. The food? Beyond delicious. Each dish was prepared with love and precision, the spices offering not just flavor but a kind of culinary serenity that left us both euphoric and at peace. Every bite spoke of tradition, care, and excellence. Our waitress was equally exceptional, attentive, courteous, and respectful, making sure our every need was met with a genuine smile. We’re visiting from out of town, but this won’t be our last stop here. Namaste Jalsa Bar has earned a special place in our hearts, and we’ll be counting down the days until we return.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Garlic naan, navaratan korma (veggie), pistachio kulfi, and the lentil dish dal makhani. Great food. Great value.

Thalis are the best way to sample a great variety of dishes. I enjoyed my vegetarian Thali that came with Paneer Tikka, Pakora, Aloo Gobi, Chana Massala, Palak Paneer, Dal Tadka and was accompanied by rice and naan.
