Delicious vegan options! - Edit
Food is very good! Vegetarian options are clearly listed but it doesn't show specifically what's vegan so you'll have to ask if you have any questions there.

Good Indian Food - Edit
I had the methi paneer and a vegetable curry, both were pretty good. Vegan and vegetarian items are labelled on the menu and there are a decent number of options.

Very slow - Edit
Priority given to takeaway customers over dine in. Even to the point of taking over 20 minutes to get popadoms on the table! VERY slow service and even rude. The food was good though. They offer choice of spiciness and mild was good! The Aloo Gobi was delicious. They forgot to serve 2 dishes (we didn’t need them!) and 2 waiters came to count the plates on our table to check ( that we were lying??!). They also added 18% service to the bill already so be careful not to tip twice especially with the crap service!

Best option on Lighthouse - Edit
Stumbled upon this place while waiting for our aquarium reservation. They have tons of vegan options including appetizers, curries, soups, and bread. Even my in-laws got vegan options and loved it. Tons of flavor and very friendly staff.

Delish Indian - Edit
I was very excited to have some good Indian food again! It’s been a couple years! This is my first time ordering vegetarian and I wasn’t disappointed. I wished it was more spicy, but it had good flavor! I ordered the aloo gobi and garlic naan.

Nice place, good food, reasonable prices - Edit
Indian options in Monterey are few. This is our favorite. It's good, but not great.

I would go back. - Edit
Had most of the basic vegan options you would expect from a non vegan Indian restaurant. Vegan options were clearly marked on the menu. Food and service was food.

Left me nicely stuffed! - Edit
My husband and I had dinner tonight at the Namaste India Bistro for the first time. I am not an expert at Indian cuisine. I couldn't tell you if this curry dish was better than the one that I had at another Indian restaurant 2 weeks ago! I just enjoy good tasting food and this place certainly came through for me ! The menu is quite extensive with a nice array of vegetarian dishes. The vegan offerings were small in comparison. I was glad to see that the vegan items were marked with a "V" symbol in green . I had the Aloo Gobi, a potato and cauliflower dish and the Lentil dal. Both of the dishes were delicious and just right on the "spice" meter! ( the wait staff asks if you would like the dish mild, medium or spicy) A bowl of rice accompanied our 3 dishes and a plate of Naan bread rounded out our meal. The portions were a nice size and although both of us wanted to eat more our stomachs would not let us so into a doggy bag the rest of our meal went. Overall a very pleasant night out!
Read morePros: Variety of items, Friendly and attentive staff, Good value
Cons: Could use more vegan options
