Great food but very slow service due to there not being enough waiting staff to meet the number of covers. Granted, it was during the Edinburgh Festival but the potential increase in trade should be taken into account

Table was booked for 7pm, we arrived at 7 sharp and were told "you're late, you can sit here". The table was in the middle of the restaurant's main walkway, which was unpleasant when a bunch of office workers decided to queue around us, shouting and jostling each other. The food was good, but expensive for what it was (£52 for two people; starter & main, sharing rice and naan with a drink each) and the 660ml bottle of Kathmandu beer wasn't chilled. The restroom facility was disgusting. Generally dirty and smelly, reminiscent of a dive bar. I'm not in the habit of leaving bad reviews but this is one dining experience I don't want to repeat.

Great for a bite before/after a show close to festival spots. Waiting staff friendly and recommended a great veggie dish. Only problem was it got a bit rowdy later on but only to be expected late Friday night.

It was a few years since we had been to Namaste. We had a great evening in pleasant surroundings with good service - but the food is not what it used to be - still good but not exceptional

We had a wonderful meal at Namaste Kathmandu - it's quite conveniently located, service was friendly, accurate and speedy, and the food was incredible. We tried the tandoori king prawns, vegetable dumplings, fish curry and slow cooked lamb from the Nepalese menu - and we definitely recommend them all! Will certainly return next time we are in the area.

Once again, such a delightful evening spent at Namaste Kathmandu. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly; very attentive throughout the entire night. The food was absolutely exquisite - full of flavour and a very generous amount. The wine was also lovely. The only thing that stops me from giving this a full star rating is that the food took a little bit longer to come than I would have liked. However, it was Valentine's day evening and it was DEFINITELY worth the wait!! I highly recommend Namaste Kathmandu.

Repeat visit. Busy night due to 6 Nations rugby but service was efficient. Nepalese style Indian restaurant. The Nepalese dishes can be recommended. The Chicken Satay starter is excellent. The lamb dishes are excellent and the Peswari Nan a must. Reasonable pricing.

The first thing we noticed was the scent of herbs and spices. The promise this held was delivered by the wonderful dishes and underlined by the non-alcoholic fruit cocktails which tickled our taste buds. The staff were friendly and comfortably attentive. We had found this restaurant online and chose it amongst other reasons with logistics in mind. We will most definitely go back!

Very nice as usual. It was the first time my parents ever had curry, and they were very much impressed, both by the food and by the place.
