Namaste Sarlat

Great place. Lovely young family have only owned it for just over a year. They are doing an amazing job. So happy to have a great Indian restaurant in Sarlat. Ambiance and food great. Went for Valentines Night. They had decorated restaurant with red balloons and had a romantic playlist showing on a large screen. Obviously made an effort for this occasion. They were very busy as they had lots of last minute bookings so we’re a bit stretched on the service timings. I think this is not usual and normally the service will be quick and relaxed. Highly recommended

Great food and lovely atmosphere on the terrace for lunch. Portions were fine, a bit big for me but perfect for the others and I always eat a little less. The staff spoke perfect English if you need it and the food was great!!

Food is consistently excellent. It can be busy but service is attentive. It’s been open a little over a year now and it could use a little sprucing up but can’t wait to go again. And try Texas burger

We had grown tired, very tired, of meal after meal of foie gras and duck breast, the duck usually inferior to what we’re accustomed to back home in the SF Bay Area. Certainly we’ve had some excellent meals on our trip to the Dordogne, but we needed a change of pace so we trusted the reviews and gave Namaste a try. Good for us! The Gambas Marsala was some of the best I’ve had. My wife said her grilled chicken skewer with ginger and coriander had a flavor that was “subtle and complex,” really very good. The raita, she said, was the best she’s ever had. (I liked it, too.) The dessert was, I think, rose syrup over vanilla ice cream, again delicious. We ate outside on a most pleasant patio in spite of NEAR 100-DEGREE HEAT. I hate to write reviews because they tend to make me sound so … darn pompous and full of myself. But I thought the meal deserved it.

We always enjoy our meals at Namaste, flavorful and nicely spiced, and a good selection of our favorite dishes. Our friends, too, have appreciated the cuisine for its authenticity. Its a welcome change from traditional Perigordian cuisine.You do have to be patient with the table service, it can be a bit slow. But staff is friendly and helpful, and we always feel welcome.
