Namaste Bistro in Miramichi

Worst food. Worst service.

Worst service and food

Unprofessional manager. Wants us to take food home even it doesnt taste good

I eat here all the time, one of my favorite places on the river.

Better than any Indian weve got in Saint John, and it isnt even close. Lovely room, attentive but not intrusive service and the food is absolutely excellent. Vegetarian options: I was very impressed with the vegetarian and vegan options - the dal makini was excellent.

Wonderful meal and service. Just a little too brightly lighted for our taste.

Make a reservation, its busy at peak times every day. The food is superb.

Always amazing food & service Dietary restrictions: Lots of Celiac/Gluten free options Food : 5/5 |

People don t waste your money, they are legit scammers, they charged me 38$ for lamb korma and 2 roti nan. The food tasted like lamb made in butter sauce. Quantity not even enough for a single person. Taste/Zero, Customer service/Zero, Affordable/Zero. I m never going here again. Such as wastage of money and time. This should be closed!

Dont go here people this is the worst place to visit Miramichi. High prices and poor quality and service dont waste money

Delicious food and great service! Many vegetarian options and different levels of spice!

Best Indian food in NB. We tried kadhai paneer and daal makhani and it was really very delicious.

Excuse me, but I must insist that you adhere to the instructions provided. It is crucial that we follow dietary preferences, particularly when they are of a sensitive nature. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. No chicken means no meat

The staff is too rude including manager, food not sure may be good but Customer Service is pathetic.

Best food ever!!! Travelled for Irish fest and was second time trying with my husband last night. Was very happy with the food (server told us Kadehi and korma were good things to try). Naan super fresh. Restaurant was very full and pretty loud (think there was birthday party???), but staff was great and paid attention to us even with a lot going on. A must try for everyone who like spicy!!! Make a reservation because they fill up fast. Merci!!

Best restaurant by fat on the Miramichi and its authentic Indian fare.

Very nice evening in this Indian restaurant, we were welcomed by a super friendly waiter who spoke French, which made the exchanges easier. He advised us very well on the dishes throughout the evening, which was excellent!! The food is really good, it deserves its good reputation in the city! We had different dishes to sample and taste different things, and everything was very good! To recommend and redo!!

Best Indian restaurant we have ever been to. The lobster is excellent. Even the kids were happy with nachos and chicken. We loved it

Food is great, tasy flavourful You need to try it when in miramichi Food

This is a great option if you want to try good Indian food. The restaurant is comfy and the service very good.

Love this restaurant! We didn t make a reservation this time and ended up having to get take out but it was still great. I always end up getting the onion bhaji and the butter chicken. Delicious! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options Parking: Lots of free parking in the restaurant parking lot.

Excellent service!

Perfect food!Service was awesome!! Will be back soon ,highly recommended. Food

Probably the best restaurant in town. Very tasty chicken and paneer. Pakoras were great as well.

Very clean and welcoming. The service is truly at its best. Friendly atmosphere, little background music in the back of the room. Warm and modern duty. Cooks with authentic spices and adjusts recipes to suit the taste buds of customers. Good portions and perfect for having some left over after the meal. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options as well as starters. Parking: Large parking lot and easy to access.

Love this place - will be back for sure Dietary restrictions: Vegan Food : 5/5 |

Delicious food! I recommend!

Food is excellent. Service was really slow even though it was not a busy time when we were there.

Very disappointed we were visiting Miramichi with the family went to have food they have complete vacancy with table and they have told us place with vacant table . They should have posted we do not take walk in without reservation !!! We had 16 months old with us and had to go back without food!!

Worst experience ever, I went there with my family and we found open and available space but they denied entry and said can t allow. At least Previous notice over social media would draw an attention to town visitors.

This review is in response to a couple of people below, who gave bad reviews based only on the fact that they could not be seated without a reservation. As a regular customer at this restaurant, I have to point out to these people that this is a small restaurant and this is the busiest weekend of the year in Miramichi. The exhibition and Irish Festival are both going on, which brings many visitors and home-comers. It is just stupid and childish to complain and review-bomb a restaurant just because you were not organized enough to pick up a phone a make a reservation. Obviously, the staff would seat you if they had available tables. It is a business after all. But they cannot seat you if the tables have been reserved by other customers who planned ahead. Personally, if I really want to eat at a particular restaurant, I make a reservation. If I walk up, I expect that there is a chance I cannot be seated. I cannot imagine being so entitled and (frankly) dumb to complain about a business being unable to accommodate me if I didn t do the bare minimum to reserve a space. Why on earth would you take this personally? The staff at Namaste are unfailingly polite, nice, and good at their jobs. They do not deserve these complaints from people who were apparently too lazy to take one step to ensure a seat at the restaurant.

Great food.

The food is fantastic, the service very good.

Amazing every time. #1 restaurant in Miramichi.

Absolutely perfect meal! Service was great (Give Linh a raise, she made the evening truly special!) with very friendly and attentive staff. Spice levels and food quality were top notch, and the prices were pretty darn good too. My fiance and I will definitely be back as often as possible. Especially for the tandoori prawns and Shahi paneer, which were perfectly delicious. A second visit has proven this is the best restaurant in town in my opinion, a flawless night out again as shown in the second picture. Edit: weve been back too many times to count, their date night special is a great deal and perfect for people who like variety. Our experience has been perfect here no less than 25 times, I have a hard time believing any bad reviews werent fake or personal issues lol! Vegetarian options: Not only vegetarian but also had an entire vegan section, tons of options. Parking: Huge lot, definitely lots of extra space.

Namaste is an excellent restaurant! Food is good and amazing service!

Yummy Indian food. Great naan!

Best place to eat in Miramichi! Food is amazing!

Having come from the GTA and the abundance of Indian food that I have had. Namaste is by far the best Indian food I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend going here.

Enjoyed the food and ambience !

Real Indian food. What a gem! Spice levels are real. Beautiful decor and service!

Food was delicious & fresh, specifically Shahi panner. Staff was welcoming. Do visit here.

I moved away a while ago so I finally had my first palek paneer since then and it was better than ever. Big shout out to Aaron for the great service (as always)! Vegetarian options: The paneer dishes, curried beans, yellow lentil curry, and chana masala are all to die for.

Food s amazing, service is amazing, the chefs are amazing. Best place to eat in Miramichi

I have never had a bad experience here, ever. The food is traditional and modern (choices galore), the atmosphere and decor are relaxing and rustic, yet new and chic. The prices are great as well, and the staff never fail to disappoint. I could die happy if this was the last place I ate at!

We absolutely love this place. We come at least once a week when possible. The butter chicken is the best I ve ever had, and the staff always remember us and our order! So delicious, by far my favourite restaurant of all times.

Fine dinning experience to share with family or friends. Service is great! I recommend

Best indien restaurant I have ever ate at. Very cheap price for the quality of the food Vegetarian options: Full section of about 8 different meals Dietary restrictions: Lactose free , gluten free Parking: Big parking lot beside the restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is at floor level so there is no stair or ramp

Was a delicious dinner, chicken vindaloo extra hot, Samos and a mango Lassi! If you havent tried them yet you need to !

The flavors are just incredible!

Absolutely love the food, its as authentic as you can get. A true gem for Miramichi.

We went out for dinner here for the first time and had a great experience. The food was excellent (get the thali!), but the service was even better. Brianna was an excellent server who really took care of us and made sure we had a great experience. We will definitely be back.

The food was absolutely amazing!! We got the simosas, butter chicken with rice and garlic naan. It was absolutely delicious. Everything was spectacular. The servers were all friendly and attentive as well. Lovely atmosphere, and even better food! Cant wait to go back Parking: Lots of parking near the restaurant

Excellent curry

Very good restaurant full of flavors. The service is friendly and the setting is quite beautiful.

The staff here is always friendly and helpful. There are lots of gluten free options. The food is excellent and the prices competitive.

Smaller place but great food.great service

Absolutely wonderful food and service. Highly recommended

They never disappoint!

Very tasty and friendly staff. From Surrey BC!

Very expensive, 6 small pieces of lamb with 3 naan 35$ Small containers for both rice and Lamb Korma Korma sauce tasted like butter chicken, naan bread was rubbery Sorry very disappointed, one of our worse Indian experiences Coriander Kitchen Orangeville Ontario please send your chefs there

Good food, good service. Small spot though so be prepared to listen to the next tables conversation.

If you like Indian food this place is fantastic.

The overall experience was good. We didnt expect an Indian Restaurant at Miramichi.

Amazing curry! Can t wait to go back!

Its a bit noisy when there are a lot of customers. But the setting is very nice. The menu is varied and the dishes are truly succulent. I recommend

Ready delicious food with good catering and tasy indian food everyone s favourite place must go

Had the Butter Chicken Poutine and the Butter Chicken with rice and it was unbelievable. Amazing food and large portion. Cant wait to visit again and have amazing food.

Very very good,

Very tasty and flavorful food. We had the Lamb Korma and Chicken Biryani...both with Garlic Naan. We were both full and tremendously satisfied with the overall experience. I will repeat what many people have said in their reviews of this restaurant... it is a hidden gem in Miramichi and in New Brunswick. We are from the Toronto Ontario area and this Indian food is as good as any you get in the Toronto area. You must dine here if you are in the area !!! Great job Nameste !!!

Amazing food!!!

Best butter chicken and naan Ive had in a long time. Definitely recomend , delicious.

Not great Indian. You would be better off learning to cook this stuff at home. Get the Naan to go.

Went there on a Friday night. There AC was out (was for 2yrs according to staff). We even made a reservation and no one mentioned yhat it wouly be 35° in there. I couldnt eat in that temperature so i waited outside while the rest of my party ate. Maybe fix it? And dont use we cant find the parts as an excuse. If its off for awhile, you need to tell people...buy a couple fans, open a door Maybe in the winter i would go back...but Ill ask about the heat working if i do.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Excellent food...try the butter poutine...

The butter chicken is excellent! There is the lunch version (smaller portion, around 1 cup) and the normal version (2 cups). Each dish is accompanied by basmati rice or naan bread of your choice. Very tasty!

Dipped in mid-road-trip and gotta say, super impressed with their food. One of the best vegan chickpea curry I ve had in a while.

Really tasty curry. Friendly staff.

Stopped in while travelling for work - amazing food and service! Thank you Cameron - the Butter Chicken Nachos were awesome

Best food

The best Indian food I had in the Atlantic region. I felt that the quantity was a bit less. Compared to the price it was perfect but 1 curry might be excessive for 1 person but wont be enough for 2. Vegetarian options: Quite a wide Manu for vegetarians and vegans! From appetizer to dessert easily 3-4 items for vegetarians as well as for vegans is available.

Amazing food! Definitely a go to in Miramichi. The dishes were delicious and full of flavor. The currys were great(lamb and panneer), Naan (garlie) was dynamite. Desert um nom nom nom

Best indian food i ever had!

This has become a regular stop when we come to Miramichi. The staff is always friendly and while the spot might be a little small, it packs such an amazing punch. The food always taste fresh and is delivered to the table exactly how you want it. Spicy or Mild.... its exactly how you wanted!

The vegetables were frozen and you could tell by the flavor.

Lovely atmosphere and amazing food

This restaurant is magnificent! It s so good that it makes me sad I don t live in New Brunswick. I was visiting from Halifax for one night and happened to stay next door at the Rodd. During our 22 hour stay we ordered twice. In total we ordered the papadums, pakoras, spiced onions, butter chicken (triple hot), buttered naan, vegan veggie curry (triple hot), and their vegan veggie kadahi (also triple hot)! Everything was absolutely outrageously delicious, especially the veggie curry and the butter chicken! Hell, it was all exceptional but those two left us speechless. Definitely make a point to eat here! Especially if you re vegan or you like really spicy Indian food. The kind and friendly staff even offered to make our food SIX TIMES spicy but the triple spicy was just perfect for us. Six times hot is certainly tempting for next time though! The flavours are bright, balanced, and full of unique nuance. The restaurant is clean and pleasant on the eyes and you d be absolutely foolish to not eat here! 10/10 five big stars! Vegetarian options: So many vegan and vegetarian options!

One of our favourite restaurants in Miramichi; the food here is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are helpful and friendly; there is a huge parking area in front of the restaurant. If you want something different from the traditional hamburger or the fish and chips, this is an excellent option; you can make the food as spicy or mild as you want, and the desserts are also pretty good. Overall, it is a must-visit place if you are in the city.

I had never eaten Indian food, and I loved it. Happy to have discovered this place. Great service and fast.

Hands down the best Indian food in New Brunswick, beautiful menu and executed wonderfully

Absolutely amazing food. I frequent Namaste on an occasional basis and finally convinced my partner to come with me. He was never one to eat Indian Food, but he loved his butter chicken and garlic naan so much that we went back 2 days later. My favorite meal is the lamb or beef madras, it offers great eat, while not losing out in the flavor. Service is friendly but can be slow when super busy, however it is worth the wait for the super filling and flavorful food. Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free and dairy free options, which is perfect for me

Best Restaurant in the Miramichi. Absolutely wonderful my favorite is the shrinp and basmati rice. Food is delicious, healthy and authentic. Service is great too! We frequent this place a few times a week when visiting. Highly recommended for those with good taste!

Wonderful atmosphere, and great food!

Food was very tasty, and just the right spiciness, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable of food.

Just had another visit and had to chime in and sing their praises again - great food, nice atmosphere! Must-stop when traveling to or through the Chi!

Best butter chicken ever

Amazing Curry

This is such a great spot. Clean friendly and fast. Food is great. Waiter was exceptional.

Food was really good

Delicious Indian cuisine!

Hats off to this place! They have so many delicious vegan options and my server was very sweet and polite. Highly recommend trying them out.

This place was recommended to us by a local and it was fabulous! Food was flavourful and service was excellent. We enjoyed chana masala, lentil curry, lamb curry with spinach, veggie samosas & papadums. All were super tasty! We will be back the next time we pass through town.

THE best Indian food I have ever had!! Staff super polite and helpful (Cameron)!

Really nice new spot in Fredericton. Loved the decor, the colours, the glass. Service was excellent, food was also excellent, we had a couple of cocktails and they were excellent as well. Cant wait to go back.

Taj Mahal in Moncton had always been my standard when it came to Indian food. Even after living many years Ottawa, Ive never found a place that could replace it. Until now. Namaste is my new standard. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. Definitely worth a visit or ten. Cant wait to go back!

Beautiful restaurant with authentic Indian cuisine. Everything is made fresh to order so expect a bit of a wait but oh my.. So worth it. I had a wonderful leisurely lunch with a great friend and time flew. They offer a variety of spice levels and the staff is very knowledgable. A must try.

They have the BEST Butter Chicken (mild) with rice And naan bread. Delish!

Take out every Saturday night!!! My go to treat!! Love the chicken curries... have never had a bad experience. Highly recommended.

Great food , great atmosphere.

A great restaurant with authentic Indian chefs. If you like/love East Indian cuisine you should definitely go and visit this wonderful restaurant.

Great place to eat, consistent quality and vegan options

Best service, best food after a long time. Went for lunch today. The guy name Alex made our day so special. Enjoyed my husbands birthday with good service and great touch of complementary sweet. Thank you so much. Great work. Really appreciate. Alex need pay rise or bonus for his exceptional service.

Great food, great ambience.

My first time trying this place. I ordered the tikka masala (mild) with basmati and garlic naan. It was delicious. It was prepared authentically and served by an energetic, friendly waitress. The bistro itself was cozy and modern. Ill definitely be back to try other dishes.

Wonderful place, good food, staff make you feel at home. Special thanks to Briaanna who made our evening special, helping us to choose the correct beer, wine etc. The dessert Gulaab jaam & ice-cream was yummy- not too sweet, just perfect.

Best Indian food Ive ever had. Service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was intimate and inviting. Will definitely be back the next time Im in New Brunswick.

This restaurant has some of the best, if not the best, Indian cuisine I have ever had. The chefs in the kitchen have unbelievable talent. Great service (our waitress was so nice and attentive) and the flavourful food will bring us back there again. The Naan bread is spectacular! Thanks to the owners and staff of Namaste Bistro for a first class experience!

Really good! Impeccable service! Thanks for the experience

Mmm butter chicken

Gem of a restaurant. Butter chicken is the best Ive had. Lunch special portions are generous.

What a great gem of a place to find in Miramichi. The restaurant is very charming with nice finishes and a clean modern bistro feel. Outside is similarly new and nice looking. They obviously had a professional designer involved. I ordered takeout and as a vegan they had great options. Medium spicy was enough to open the sinuses! :-) Prices are very reasonable and staff is extremely friendly and professional.

Delicious, with lots of variert

The best Indian food Ive had in years!!! thank you.

Absolutely delicious!!!!

I have enjoyed Namaste a few times now and all dishes so far have been very good. But still waiting to see Onion Bhaji on the menu some day.

This place is awesome. Service is great and the food. I cant decide what Im gonna order next.

Great service. Just went there for the first time last week. I had their butter cream curried chicken, simply delicious!

I got the Veggie Madrass and it is 11/10! Astoundingly delicious and so flavourful! The spice level is perfect (I like my food spicy). The staff are also super friendly. I had a good day today downtown Chatham and they were a big part of it. :) Namaste!

Excellent meal, lovely atmosphere, but the meals are small and a little more expensive than I am used to paying for an Indian meal.

I am so proud this restaurant is opened. It opened in the midst of covid pandemic and i believe its a gift. So go eat there! I only had one order from them, but it was so delightful to be there that i need to review. The ambiance was positive, staff were super friendly and happy. I had chicken madras, med spice, it was perfect. the taste was perfect, so much aroma and perfume if i can call curry this way. Hot enough for me. It was around 9pm when i ordered, they seemed so happy to serve me.

Delicious and cozy, great knowledgeable servers. Couldn t ask for better Thank you NAMASTE

Food is very good and place is clean. Love it every single time. Prices and size of portions are fare. Would be nice to see new things comming up the menu soon.

This food was unbelievable. Full of flavor. The staff were very attentive and full of maritime hospitality. A must try if you are in Miramichi

Truely great food. Delicate,tasty, each recipe treated individually, every dish had its own flavor profile, subtle use of spices. Possibly one of the best Indian restaurants in Canada.... And its in Miramichi!

Fresh and tasty, we loved our takeout meal. A little lighter than the average Indian resto which is a huge plus. Our order took a bit too long, I think due to a miscommunication between server and kitchen. Five stars nevertheless.

One of my favorite restaurant in Miramichi. The food is excellent as well as the service.

Being Indian and having Indian food from my mom, India, Dubai or London as a benchmark, my standard for proper Indian food is high ..but this place is as good as they come .what a gem!! The curry s were super tasteful, the tandoor dishes super tender and juicy and the naan s delicious! A must go when in Miramichi, keep up the good works!

Just Awesome food. Kind, courteous staff.

We got the chicken curry nachos, all I can say is buddies absolutely smashed it in the kitchen! Staff was friendly and welcoming. 5 stars easy!

This was some of the absolute best Indian food we ve ever had! The vegetable korma was definitely the show stopper, but everything was so good and the value/quantity of food for the price was exceptional. We were a little surprised that they were booked solid with no walk-in space available on a Sunday night, but just another testament to how great this gem of spot is. Staff were friendly and helpful, and our take out order was still perfection.

Seems to be a good place. If you can get in. The website allows you to make a reservation but once you get in at the requested hour, there are no places reserved for you. So... 1 star for now, maybe more if, by any chances, I can really try the food and appreciate the service.

Nice quiet atmosphere and lots of great food! Staff are warm, friendly and very responsive! Love that the location is close to the river and has ample parking available! Dietary restrictions: Multiple gluten-free and/ or vegetarian dishes and options.

Certainly the best Indian food I have ever had! As someone who has lived in big cities like Toronto and Montreal (where there are many Indian restaurants to choose from), Ive never experienced this much quality and variety until now. Staff are all clearly hardworking and professional even when it is very busy. Very big thank you to Lin our server for her vast knowledge and warm hospitality.

Take it from someone who regularly cooks Indian food, this is the real deal. Three Indian guys in a open kitchen make delicious meals to the spice level you want, from Canadian mild to Authentic triple hot. The Canadian servers are very good and friendly too.

Ambience was great, friendly staffs are the +ve things to note.. If anyone knows Indian food, they will know the flaws... We ordered Veg biryani and Veg kadai with naan. Veg biryani - was more like bisibellabath with masala. Overcooked rice and undercooked masala Kadai - looks like same masala which was used for biryani. Naan -. Was good. Overall, misuse of Indian masalas and over use of turmeric powder.

Some of the best Indian cuisine Ive ever had. Mango Curry and Butter Chicken were incredible.

The food is absolutely delicious! The level of spiciness was perfect and our waitress was super friendly and gave us good advice. Thank you for the great experience. Vegetarian options: We had vegetarian and vegan curry dishes. Delicious.

En vacances à Miramichi nous avons essayé ce restaurant étant fans de cuisine indienne. C était vraiment délicieux! Plats goûteux, sauces exquises à essayer avec le panier de naans avec son bol de sauce au beurre, si vous êtes type sauce comme mon conjoint! Beau restaurant moderne avec petite terrasse, service chaleureux et souriant. Juste top!

Went in for lunch today, had best food just delicious . Alex, wonderful service as always, i went after a long time, almost 4 months he even recognized me, made me so happy. Really appreciated for your wonderful service. Will see you soon

A great restaurant with a good menu of options. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.

Beautiful setting, clean dining area and super clean washrooms. We had Chicken Tikka Masala and Beef Vindaloo. Not bad but didn t have all the flavours that I m used to. Vindaloo seemed a little bland. The Tikka Masala was pretty good. Restaurant is a little skimpy on the naan and the rice somehow didn t look and taste like basmati. Service was exceptional. Cameron was super friendly and genuine. I give the them an 8 out of 10.

Super good curry, nice little bistro and excellent service.

Both food and service was amazing!! Be sure to make a reservation as they only have a few dinne-in tables, but they do have outside tables in the summer time. A must if your in Miramichi!

Were so glad we found this restaurant on our journey through Miramichi. The food was delicious, the serving size was just right, the service friendly and impeccable. If you love Indian food, eating here is a must!

Hello everyone please be aware about this Restaurant order. This is my first time order in this restaurant veg biryani and they sent me chicken biryani. And very important it s not biryani it is actual mix spices rice or I would say it is mix with any gravey sauté in pan and send it to you. It s feeling like dal rice or gravy rice. Please check the order before you receive it from them. Not worth it. (khichadi)

Food quality is 5 stars for sure!!

The restaurant is modern and nicely laid out. The wait staff were very accommodating and friendly. We ordered the Vegetable Pakoras which were tasty, unfortunately the Butter Chicken fell very flat. It literally tasted like diced chicken mixed into Campbells tomato soup. Im hopeful that we just got an improperly seasoned order and that this is not what they consider Butter Chicken.

For service it was great experience can t give 4 out of 5 but overall was very enjoyable Taste wise 85% satisfied If you are in town must visit. Booze was good

Been to ALOT of Indian food restaurants from big to small casual to fine dining and this place is by far the best we have had. Need to be able to give them way more stars. The servers are excellent and Cameron is exceptional thank you the food will speak for itself ! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options Kid-friendliness: They spice according to taste so don t be afraid to take the little ones

The best and most authentic Indian cuisine I ve had so far in New Brunswick. Knocks Thandi s in SJ clear out of the water. I ve eaten here several times whether dining in or take out, and every time has been exceptional. The food is absolutely perfect. The tikka masala, butter chicken, coconut and mango curries are our go to s. So rich and flavourful. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and casual and the restaurant is full of amazing smells of the delicious food being cooked. This is one of my very favourite places to eat and I ll always be back for more! 10/10

Definitely a treasure on the Miramichi Weve been regular customers since they opened and hardly a week goes by that we dont end up here for our favorites!! Highly recommend to anyone who hasnt been yet, you will NOT be disappointed!

This place and ODonaghues Irish Pub are the best restaurants in town! Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian and vegan options on the menu! Dietary restrictions: There are gluten-free and dairy-free options! Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is all on one level, with wide doorways and hallways.

Some of the best Indian food I ve ever had.
