Nestled amidst the lush rainforest near Manuel Antonio, Namaste’s unassuming storefront and narrow entrance belie the culinary delights that await within. As you step inside, the air becomes fragrant with the tantalizing aromas of spices and herbs, leading you into a spacious outdoor patio surrounded by towering rainforest trees.
The menu offers a familiar array of Indian dishes, but the flavors are anything but standard. The samosa chaat, a crispy pastry filled with savory potatoes and chickpeas, is a delightful explosion of textures and flavors. The butter chicken, rich and creamy, melts in your mouth, while the paneer dishes, made with fresh Indian cheese, are equally tantalizing.
The service staff at Namaste is both friendly and approachable, ensuring a memorable dining experience. We had the pleasure of speaking to the owner, who shared his inspiring journey of coming to Costa Rica and establishing Namaste. He spoke passionately about the restaurant’s expansion plans, which promise to bring even more culinary delights to the area.
While the restaurant can get warm during the day, the lush greenery and gentle breeze from the rainforest create a serene and inviting ambiance. Whether you’re seeking a romantic dinner or a casual meal with friends, Namaste offers a culinary escape that will transport you to the heart of India without leaving the tropical paradise of Costa Rica.
