---**What is Worth Choosing: Menu Highlights and Recommended Dishes**
With such an extensive menu, deciding what to order at Namaste can be a delicious dilemma. However, several items stand out, based on their prominence on the menu and customer feedback, making them must-try choices for any New York diner.
**The Authentic Street Food Experience:** You must start with the **Chaat** section. The **Chhole Bhature** ($10.99) is highly recommended by customers, noted for its "very large two batura with achar," providing a hearty and authentic taste of North Indian comfort street food. Also worth trying are the classics like **Pani Puri** ($6.99) or the house special **Aaloo Chaat Namaste (spl)** ($7.99) for a refreshing and flavor-packed starter.
**The Specialty Curries:** For the main course, one cannot go wrong with the highly popular Punjabi staples. The **Butter Chicken** ($13.99) and the **Chicken Tikka Masala** ($14.99) are reliably excellent comfort foods. However, to taste Namaste’s specialization, consider a signature dish like **Chicken Achari. NAMASTE (SPL)** ($13.99) or the decadent **Malai Kofta Namaste (spl)** ($13.99). For vegetarians, the rich **Paneer Makhani** or **Shahi Paneer** ($13.99 each) are superb choices, and the simple but flavorful **Dal Tadka** ($11.99) or **Dal Makhani** ($11.99) are perfect pairings for any bread.
**Tandoori and Bread:** No Indian meal is complete without fresh bread. The **Garlic Naan** ($2.99) is a standard favorite, but adventurous diners should try the house specialty **Naan Onion Chilli Garlic Namaste (Spl)** ($3.99) or the savory **Keema Naan** ($5.99). For a complete meal, the generous **Non Veg Thali** ($15.00) or **Veg Thali** ($12.00) provides a cost-effective sampler of several curries, bread, rice, and sides.
Finally, to end your meal, the customer-recommended dessert is the **Rasmalai** ($3.99), a perfect light and milky sweet finish. The inclusion of unique beverages like the classic **Mango Lassi** ($4.99) or the warming **Indian Masala Tea** ($1.99) provides the ultimate authentic conclusion to your culinary escape to India, right here in Queens. Namaste truly offers a delicious and well-rounded choice for anyone craving the genuine taste of India.

Namaste Reviews
butter chickenchicken tikka masalagarlic naanJFKchole bhaturedal makhaniorderpakorakheerkali mirch
★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Excellent authentic Indian food near JFK. My wife and I had a day layover before our international trip, so we decided to explore Indian cuisine. The service and food were awesome. I wish I had recalled my servers name, but he was courteous and prompt. Great find.
April 18 · Dr. Suk ChoWe ordered items from the menu and was delivered in few minutes as place was not busy, we ordered Chloe Batura - very large two batura with achar. Also paneer matter which was served with rice . Rasmai was good. Yogurt in side was expensive..
June 22 · Paul Vakharia (Paul V)We had to stay at a JFK hotel due to a missed connection. Already tired from a long vacation, we were looking for comfort food. Given my past experience with some restaurants which give reheated frozen foods, I was not very hopeful.Still took a chance and boy I was surprised, the food was delivered in 25 min flat and it was piping hot and amazingly fresh. Spice level was exactly what I requested. We were so happy that we ordered dinner as well. We had all vegetarian options including tandoor breads and everything was excellent !
August 18 · Eklavya MalikSeriously incredible butter chicken! It was so tender, swimming in a unbelievably delicious, creamy sauce. And the naan... oh, the naan! Fluffy beyond belief and wonderfully buttery, it was the ideal pairing. My taste buds are singing!
July 27 · RahulAlways been there for chole bature. One of The most testiest chole bature.Recommend place.
