      I've eaten at just about every Indian food spot in Riverside and the surrounding areas, Namaste Indian Kitchen is hands down the best.
      Incredible service from every single person who works there, warm smiles and genuinely kind people, with a very welcoming vibe.
      Unbelievably yummy food no matter what I get on the menu (my favorites are the samosas and the chicken tikka masala!) and everything is reasonably priced!
      Just an awesome place to eat at if you enjoy fast high quality Indian food, consistently pleasant interactions, low prices, and an all around satisfying experience

      One of my favorite places to eat in all of Riverside

      Soooo good. I got the chickpea meal with rice and garlic naan. Literally could not get enough. The service was so nice and he let us sample pretty much everything! Genuine Indian food

      This place is fantastic and I highly recommend it. The food tastes so authentic and the chicken is always cooked perfectly, truly can't remember the last time I've had chicken cooked this perfectly. The sauces and flavors melt in my mouth. Portion sizes are great too and when I get the #2 combo, it always gives me two meals worth. Also the friendliest service.

      Two stars for Smriti's friendly service and one for the half way decent Bhature.
      The restaurant is a hole in the wall in a strip mall.
      A steam table offers some basic Indian fare. Did not look appetizing at all so we decided to order a la carte.
      The Bhelpuri chaat was anything but Bhel. For those of you who know what this is, do not order it here. For first timers- do not order it here.
      The chhole bhature were ok. The dough for the bhature isn't the same they use for the naan but hey it works. Fluffy bready bhature! The chhole not very good. Not authentic.
      Also sadly none of the accompaniments were provided or were available.
      They need to up their game if they want to last.

      Honestly, the rice is the best thing. Over the weekend, ordered for pick up, the lentil daal jhaneko curry and chicken Tikka masala. My lentil was too salty and grainy. Also pretty spicy. The chicken Tikka tasted like tomato soup in a way and was kind of sweet. I've had better. Only the rice was super good, fragrant and flavored perfectly. They also didn't give us enough rice....hence why we were hungrier...I couldn't even order a combo because the staff made it complicated for me. So I gave up. I also said I wanted naan. But they didn't include it sighhh. Sorry, I didn't really like my experience nor the food here.

      Dang this food was great. My friend and I came to visit and trust me her and her boyfriend have high standards for food (I don't trust some of her decisions and choices)

      At first you are greeted by a beautiful girl in the front with a pretty smile. And then she recommends the Chicken Tikka Masala was amazing. I've been to India before and this food reminds me of the time I spent in India. Very good. It's a small place but is big in flavor. The Naan was really good and paired well with the food. I tried the chicken curry and that was great as well but I'm telling you the Chicken Tikka Masala was awesome. I can tell you I will definitely be ordering it again soon. I just finished my food told them I'm leaving a 5 star review and yet I'm already craving it. I can't wait to have it again.

      This is the best Indian food I have had in the inland empire. You can tell it was made with love from the sweetest people who own the place. Very delicious flavors, I am excited to go back!

      I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. I was expecting way less from it.

      We ordered the garlic naan, vegetables samosa, chicken tikka masala, and the three combo (I chose Channa Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala ad Saag). The naan was very tasty, light and fluffy. Samosa was perfectly fried. The chicken tikka masala, Channa, and sag were delicious. The dish was rich and filling.

      You get a lot of food if you order the combo, for what it's worth.
