We came to the restaurant for my daughter’s graduation celebration meal. So welcoming and lovely and warm in general. The place was extremely spotless the food was Devine and the service was consistent to the point we felt completely at home and relaxed with being waited upon we didn’t have to ask for anything. Staff went above and beyond and everything was just perfectly presented. We choose the festive menu which was an amazing selection and everyone’s choice on the menu came out hot and presentation was outstanding. Thank you so much for a great dining experience I would love nothing more to return to this beautiful restaurant.

Fabulous evening to celebrate our daughter’s birthday with some of her friends. Delicious food, beautiful building and lovely atmosphere. Service was a little slow but everything was done with warmth and a smile. My daughter was given a card and a slice of cake with a sparkler in it - a very sweet gesture.

We had a superb meal in the restaurant. The food was excellent and the service from Basheer was first class: the right balance between friendliness and professionalism. We would highly recommend the restaurant for a good quality, well priced meal in lovely surroundings.

We've eaten at Namaste Village several times and always enjoyed it. The food is Indian and vegetarian, and although they have very hot dishes there are plenty of milder ones and ones which are unique to them. The service is prompt and friendly, and the presentation of the dishes is a class above the average. It's often quite busy, so make a booking.

We ate in the conservatory as less formal, the menu is excellent with lots of choices, small plates also available which for me is a bonus ! Portions were a good size and great value for money too.

Another wonderful meal here and good value with the 3 course Sunday menu. My only negative would be that it was very quiet and the service was a bit slow which didn't make sense. Lovely food and a really good venue that we'll be using more.
