What a wonderful meal! Many thanks to all of the friendly and outgoing staff as well as the consistently amazing chefs. Tonight we had the beef palak, beef madras and lamb roganjosh. All of the main dishes, rices and breads were simply amazing. Thanks again!
Awesome restaurant guys...one of the best for Indian food in Calgary...I've been there many times, especially for my birthday dinners and loove it every time. Never disappoints! Thanks to the owner Mr. Trilochan Sekhon and his stupendous chefs for having fed my family and I so many times
Food was top notch! And the delivery guy was so kind. We just moved near by and I am excited to be a regular costumer!!
From California and first time trying Indian food. Highly recommend it!!! Loved the mango chicken
Great food! Best butter chicken ever!! Will be back for sure...
Best Indian Restaurant in Calgary. Service is always fantastic!
Delicious food, great service. Somewhat expensive but worth every penny:)

Namaskar is my favourite restaurant food is delicious service is great I love to eat there.
high Quality food & super Clean restaurant of theTown.
Tasty! Had a delicious date night out!
Had my Daughter's first Birthday Party yesterday... Awesome Service .... Yammy food ... Fabulous Restaurant ...
Best Indian cuisine I've had and superb service. Celebrates my birthday there in January, great memories.
Had dinner last night here after hearing mixed reviews from others. But we just like the food. Everything was tasty with right amount of spices in what we ordered. We ordered malai kofta which was not sweet and kadahi panner which was spicy (as we were expecting) with plain and garlic naan. Would really recommend this place.
This restaurant still serves great Indian food after all these years & is located very central to all quadrants. The lunch time buffet is a great deal.
This is a busy restaurant, with good food and good service. Every item we ordered off the menu didn’t disappoint. The portions may seem small but ordering a few dishes is ideal for sharing. Everything tasted authentic, wonderfully flavorful and fresh. We ordered the following: Butter chicken, Beef vindaloo, Til mil zhinga, Naan, Garlic naan, Rice, Papadum, Veggie pakoras, Shahi paneer, Chana masala, Mixes raita and a Mango shake to drink. Out of all the items we ordered, my favorite were the butter chicken and til mil zhinga (prawns). I also enjoy the prawn masala. Reservations are recommended for the weekend.
The food is amazing and very delicious. All the employees are super kind and very welcoming. Hands down the best Indian Restaurant I have been to.
ordered take put from here last night. curry with rice and naan. single order was enough for dinner for 2 and the curry was amazing. Will be back and recommend to all
Absolutely delicious and authentic. Service is always weird however and the building itself (which used to be an Italian restaurant) needs some help to create a more friendly environment.
I've been here a couple of times for the lunch buffet and have enjoyed it immensely. The good was delicious and the staff is very friendly. Fair warning though - I have limited experience with Indian cuisine and have only been to a couple of other Indian restaurants in town. I enjoyed the buffet because it allowed me to try a variety of dishes. I liked everything I tried but (embarrassingly) couldn't name those dishes now. Except the naan bread of course. The naan was incredible. (I didn't try the desert). My only hesitation is that it seems a bit pricey ($20). If you have a big appetite then you're set, but I don't usually feel up to eating that much during my lunch hour. With any buffet I usually feel like I should 'get my money's worth' but that's a mistake you only make once!
Absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is very inviting, and service was friendly and quick. We started with the vegetable samosas ($4.95 for two), which were absolutely incredible. The pastry was buttery and meltingly tender, and the filling was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Next we had the Palak Aloo ($14.95), Aloo Gobhi ($14.95), Butter Chicken ($16.95), and Beef Curry ($15.95), as well as Naan ($2.55 each) and an order of steamed rice ($2.95). The Palak Aloo sauce was just the right consistency, and, like the Aloo Gobhi, was perfectly spiced. The butter chicken was very, very good - wonderfully tender pieces of chicken enrobed in a velvety, rich sauce. The Beef Curry was also very good: a balanced, subtly spiced sauce with nicely cooked pieces of beef. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu!
I recently dined here with two friends, and we all enjoyed everything very much. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Portion sizes were just right, and the flavours of all the dishes were wonderful. It's my choice for the best Indian cuisine in Calgary. We'll definitely be back.
The food here is amazing. The service is good during most times, don't be afraid to wave someone down here. Their lunch buffet is well worth it, you can even take it to go with you. The drinks like the mango lassi and chai are really good. Its a perfect atmosphere for any kind of casual dining. Although priced higher than many other Indian restaurants, it is well worth it. The best part is taking the sauce home with you and dipping the naan in it as a snack.
Agree - my favorite Indian place is Rajdoot Restaurant in Calgary, I enjoy Tandoori Hut in Kensington. Good price. Great food. Include indian foods - chicken curry, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, chicken tikkas, biryani, curry, clay oven dishes, masala, North Indian cuisine and more.

I have been trying a number of different Calgary Indian restaurants looking for good quality food in a nice surrounding. I have tried many and have been discounted many times. Tonight was different, Namskar hit the spot with good quality , good tasting food. Meats and vegetables that were fresh and tasted as they should. Spices that were perfect. I finally found and Indian restaurant in Calgary that I can enjoy. I will be back
Awesome awesome awesome. Great food great service! Lovely environment. Best butter chicken, samosas, aloo ghobi and pacora! My fav Indian place to go in Calgary!
Excellent service. Good food. Just one complaint. If you order Onion Bhajia or Pakoras, you get the same item, even though both are listed are different items.
Best taste..very humble staff...up to mark service and nice music👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.we were in Calgary for shopping and were not sure which restaurant is good but fortunately we made a good choice.keep doing the good job Namaskar🙏🙏🙏🙏
The food at this restaurant is delicious. Lovely neat restaurant. Good ambiance. Friendly staff. Parking also available. My wife and I really had a get date night at.
Called a half hour before close and they were more than gracious to make a large order. Butter chicken was perfect and not overly thick, lamb korma was perfectly seasoned and was enjoyed by many different palates of spice. I will definitely go back! Also the customer service and friendliness was top notch! This is my go to Indian food restaurant from now on.
Went for dinner with a friend of mine . The food was great . We ordered the Lamb Balti , Shahi Paneer ( cottage cheese cooked in a tomato based curry) , Nan, Rice and a Raita. ( yoghurt with carrots and cucumber in it). The Yoghurt was yummy.
The lamb dish was very flavorful and tender. My friend enjoyed the meal too and she thought the Indian food was delicious. Cannot call it expensive ..would say just a tad pricey but worth it.
I am only writing this review as I am confident in recommending the restaurant. I have eaten the lamb biryani earlier as well and can highly recommend it. A
Enjoy!
I came here for a friend's birthday dinner a while back. I didn't have any expectations when I picked out the Biryani with goat and mixed raita (yogurt), but my goodness, what an experience! Rice was perfect and full of flavour, meat was juicy, and the yogurt had toasted cumin seed powder sprinkled on the surface. Wow. My tastebuds were overjoyed after that meal! The service was astounding. This dish originally comes with cashews sprinkled on top, and since I'm allergic I informed the waiter that I did not want cashews. However when the dish came out it had cashews on it. The waiter apologized, rushed back in, and in no time at all brought out a new plate of food for me. The people that work here are true of heart, you'll notice that as soon as you step inside and taste their food!
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I love my Indian curries. Until now, I’ve been fairly disappointed by what’s on offer in Calgary. So far, we’ve found the Indian restaurants in Calgary to be fairly underwhelming, so when we heard Namskar recommended twice by two different people, we knew we had to check it out.
Simply delicious. I ordered take out on a Sunday night. Bhind masala (okra), baingan patiala (eggplant), and plain naan. I am loving this meal!!!!!!
The okra is in a flavorful tomato sauce with the most incredible warm spices. The eggplant is also in a tomato sauce with onion and red prior. It is a completely different flavor than the sauce from the okra dish. Both are just wonderful.
I can't wait to order more, though it may be a while as it is a bit pricey. Two vegetarian dishes and one order of naan (1 full piece and 1 half piece) and it came to just over $35.00. Decent size on the veggie dishes though!
I'm savoring every bite.
I've been hitting up Namskar recently for the lunch buffet with friends and co-workers. To be completely honest, it's pricey for what you get. But I do always leave stuffed to the brim and I have never been unhappy with the food or the service. Lately I've been skipping the rice and loading up on the meats, veggies and naan. I love their aloo gobi and it has a great kick to it and the butter chicken is always a treat when you have that great sauce to eat with the naan. Service wise they don't really talk to besides re-fill your drinks, but for a buffet I'm not expecting the five-star treatment. I'm going to keep coming back when I get a craving during the work week.

Ordered delivery tonight was told it was an hour and a half wait. I can see why now the food is amazing best butter chicken I have ever had. With Coconut rice paneer pakoras I am super impressed.
Love It. I went to Namskar with a couple of coworkers, and we all absolutely loved the food! The portions were more than enough, and everything was so delicious.
One of the Best Indian Restaurants in Calgary!. This place makes delicious, well-priced Indian food!! Indian is at the top of our list for eating out. When we moved to Calgary we made it our mission to try every Indian restaurant in the city. Namskar is the best Indian restaurant in the city. The staff is always friendly, always attentive. Food is prepared quickly and is always delicious.
After eating there we decided to serve Indian food at our wedding and had Namskar cater it for us. We could not have been happier. We received VERY generous portions. The food was delicious, well spiced, delivered on time and very reasonably priced. Our guests are still talking about the food they ate and have been to Namskar since on their own.
We will be back many more times, both for a la carte and the lunch buffet. Namskar, don't change a thing!!
An amazing experience. We ordered three dishes, goat curry, lamb korma, and butter chicken along with saffron rice and of course naan bread. The flavours were truly wonderful and the service was impeccable.
Namskar is sooo good. Namskar serves up an impressive list of vegetarian dishes but today i had the best ever eggplant dish . It was superb . I highly recommend this restaurant. Delicious food , great service and pleasant space. Thank you very much.
Damn good food. I typically don't order butter chicken, but I saw it being delivered to another table and it looked so good. Butter chicken and freshly cooked naan were amazing! Great food, great service!!

Amazing. I walked by Namskar one morning just as they were opening and could not stop thinking about how amazing it smelled! I decided to try the lunch buffet the next day with a girl friend of mine. It was only my second time trying Indian food (had a bad experience with Glory of India) and I was a little skeptical. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in the door, it was clean, staff was friendly and the food smelled delicious.
I tried a little bit of everything that was vegetarian and a little butter chicken (I don't really like eating meat unless I purchase and prepare it). I finished everything on my plate. I could not believe what a completely different experience I had. The food was so good that I seriously think about it all the time. I especially love the fact that you can do a take out box for $12, which is perfect for me as I just live a few blocks away and I can bring it home. You still get more than enough food (I couldn't even finish it all).
I will certainly be going back!
Wonderful food. Generous portions. Fabulous service. Warm and welcoming decor. Can't wait to come back!
Great sevice and food. Authentic flavors....I have never been disappointed.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Calgary. I go there twice a month and they have never disappointed me with neither the food nor service. My favourite dish is veggie manchurian. Oh the chewy texture of those little round nuggets mmmm. No other restaurant has beaten this place on my favor so far. Quick, clean, spacious, and professional, overall really nice restaurant.
Delicious!. Loved the food and everything and Namskar!
Friendly and timely service and it is a nice place.
But most importantly, the food! We ordered the Namskar veggi platter appetizer (samosas, pakoras, and cottage cheese paneer pakoras - awesome and came with two nice dipping sauces), Madras chicken, chicken Jalfrezi, garlic naan, and saffron rice. There were many pieces of nice chicken breast and a perfect amount of sauce. Everything was hot and absolutely delicious. They also have a nice selection of drinks, including non-alcoholic. The mango lemonade and mango lassie was delicious!
My friend and I were here today and the food was very good I would be back. The waiter was very nice by giving me 2 stamps on my card to come back. Only downside got diet coke instead of regular coke but will be back again :)
I'm sure glad I stopped by this wonderful Indian delight. The food was amazing and the service was fast, friendly and very attentive....all around a winner , love it.definitely coming back when I'm in Calgary...good job guys
Great food and friendly service. My new go-to Indian place!
Great food and service. 6 of us went to Namskar last night for my birthday dinner and it was amazing! The food was so good and our server was awesome - didn't catch his name though. Will definitely be going back!
Went there for thw first time tonight. Arrived late but we ordered our meals quickly as requested by the server. Our meals came to the table fast and done exactly as they were required. ( extra spicy) the meal, was devine. On the side were freshly cut onions and peppere which cleansed the palate. highly highly recommended for superb service and delicious meals.
Have never been disappointed. Have had dinner's to stay and to go many times and they are always met with rave reviews. The curries are full of flavor but never offensive. The naan breads are delicious (recommend the cheese or onion). And the rices always balance well.
Highly recommend.
Addictive food and friendly service. My husband go here often. Prices are good and the food is amazing. Great place.
Quite a nice restaurant. The food was good, although somewhat limited. The butter chicken was great!
Really good food, nice atmosphere and decent service. I've gone there with my boyfriend as a nice date and with friends who have toddlers - always a good experience. Also a good option for takeout.
Great meal, great service!. Dined with a group of 14 on February 1st, and had Sunil as our server. He was super friendly and made the right recommendations on portions as well as dishes. We had veggie samosas, butter chicken, beef vindaloo, prawn korma, chana masala and shahi paneer for our mains. Since we ordered quite a bit, he was kind enough to offer everyone free chai tea with our desserts. It was a nice little touch. For many of us, it was the first time dining here. Good for large groups and we would definitely dine there again. Everything was delicious.

Yum!!. I have tried quite a few places in the city and this place is my favourite! Really good butter chicken :) will be back!
My favorite Indian place in Calgary. Best naan! Coconut rice! And butter chicken. Tried lots of dishes, love them all.
The best in the city. I have eaten authentic Indian food from India, although they name the dishes differently here this is by far the best Indian food in the city! And they deliver to my house too!
Butter chicken the best. I dont eat much east indian but i tried it for my first time and loved it here. tasty food and amazing service. 8/10 stars. Will be back!!!
Great Indian Food. Namskar is my favorite indian restaurant in Calgary right now. The food is amazing and its less pretentious than Mango Shiva. If you want a hostess/Kim Kardashian wanna-be parading the restaurant all night long then Mango is the place for you. All the usual suspects are there, papadum, pakoras, vindaloo, korma, naan, roti's, and there all good.
Great Authentic Indian Food!. Whenever my husband and I think of Indian food we think of Namskar- it is delicious and definitely for the purist Indian food lover. The wait staff are very good about allowing you to change the level of heat in your curries and to accomodating larger orders. Be warned however that Namskar is on the more expensive end for Indian food in Calgary.
We love the onion bhajis to start, though I wish they offered a half order- it's huge. Their butter chicken is perfect and traditional and goes amazingly with their garlic naan and saffron rice. A personal favorite is the extra hot goat curry- the goat is always succulent rather than tough like at other restaurants. I personally don't care for the tandoori variety plate, but simply because I prefer saucier foods with my saffron rice. There's very little you can go wrong with at this restaurant and we've tried nearly everything.
We give Namskar an 8.5/10, a definite place to visit if you love authentic Indian food.
Delicious. We went as a group for a birthday event, and Namskar staff went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommended sharing so that you can try a variety of dishes and it makes the price very reasonable. Garlic naan and coconut rice are a must - so tasty.

One of our favorites!. We're regulars at Namskar. Time and time again we find ourselves craving their relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and absolutely delicious food. While we're not from India and have little idea as to what authentic Indian food tastes like, we've heard from many Indian friends that the food is authentic. To be honest, I don't care about how authentic it is, it's just really tasty food. We'd recommend lamb in any type of sauce, any naan (garlic naan is our favorite, but all are delicious), coconut rice, ras malai, gulab jamun and a cup of chai. Veggie dishes with paneer are also delicious, and last time I tried prawns in a creamy sauce - the prawns were perfectly cooked.
The dishes are reasonably priced, in my opinion. For two people sharing an appetizer, two meat dishes, two plates of rice, an order of naan, two desserts, and three drinks, it was about $85 before tip. I guess whether or not you think it's pricey for two people depends on your budget.
I've never had a problem with the service. I believe that at the moment the restaurant is just getting popular and they're still a bit understaffed. In any case, the servers take care of you whether they're assigned to your table or not, and the food always comes out quick, even on a busy night.The atmosphere we find very cosy. Nice lighting, some kind of Indian music in the background, cute decorations.
I'm looking forward to my next meal at Namskar.
Lacks personality but O.K.. I like the place. It isn`t as spicy as you would expect Indian food to be. It`s a good starter place if you`re just being introduced to Indian food. Service is average and atmosphere is not very inviting. Lacks some personality. It is pricey too.
Tasty. Pretty good food, haven't been in quite some time but would recommend it and would go back.
Delicious. The food was delicious. Definitely one of the better East Indian Cuisine Restaurants I've dined at. The portions are a little smaller than I expected but the flavour is great. The service was ok. I had trouble communicating with my server because the English lacked but other than that very nice atmosphere. I will repeat.
Great food, but whoever said that dishes are under $10 is crazy. Butter chicken is $17. Order of 2 main dishes, 3 mask and rice comes to about $50.
Great food! i tried almost everything and i like it... the food is not so spicy for those who can't tolerate spicy food... i love their mango lassi! the price is right for the buffet...
Good food - fish curry was wicked. Servers lack a bit of polish and restaurant is a total hole in the wall although location is very convenient for me.
A traditional Indian restaurant. Stopped in for lunch and had a great meal. The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can choose among many menu options.
I live near here and try it for the first time. I like the characteristic tea and mutton very much. The taste of chicken and clay oven rollsis also very good
One of my favourite Indian restaurants in Calgary! Food is delicious! Service is lovely! Washrooms are clean! Music, seating, decor, vibe is so beautiful! We went on a Thursday night just before they closed, so we had the whole place to ourselves. We got chole bhature, chicken tikka masala, naans, rotis, and ras malai! Everything was 10/10! Didn’t even take pictures of the food cuz we started enjoying it so fast 😋😋 Will definitely be coming back! My favourite chole bhature in Calgary! 😋😋
Great decor. The naan bread is made fresh to order. Spicy is hot but not over the top. Chick pea curry is my favorite dish and they make it superbly. I wonder what is their secret? Lots of parking.
Our family has ordered from Namskar for ages, and given these difficult times for restaurants felt it was time to post a review. We typically order for delivery, and know to order ahead of time on busy nights. We’ve yet to try a bad dish, but our family-friendly favorites are the butter chicken, Chana masala, naan bread, and Kachumber salad. For the grownups the vindaloo has the perfect amount of heat.
We visited Namskar on June 20, 2022. We were on our way to Banff from Toronto and our friend had strongly suggested we visit Namskar in Calgary since we had a day planned in Calgary. The ambience of the restaurant is great! Gives positive vibes. The owner and other staff of the restaurant were so welcoming and warm, it felt like we were visiting a restaurant in India. The food tasted great and the service was impeccable. We loved our experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving Indian food in Calgary.
