We visited with a large group and spent a lot of money. We had such a great experience here last summer, so we were really looking forward to coming back, which made this visit especially disappointing.
The biggest issue was the service. Throughout the meal, our server came across as dismissive whenever we had requests.
There were also several service mistakes. The staff lost track of which curries belonged to whom and their spice levels, and one curry that had been ordered separately due to a food allergy was misplaced despite us making the allergy very clear. Dirty plates also weren't cleared as new dishes arrived, and the server seemed irritated we weren't clearing the space.
The food itself was mixed. The samosas were disappointing and tasted like frozen appetizers with very little filling. The dosa was good, and the curries were enjoyable overall—around a 7/10.
We know this restaurant is capable of better because we've had a wonderful experience here before. We're hoping this was just an off night, as we'd love to see the service match the quality the restaurant has shown in the past.
We decided to order to-go after a very long day filled with hikes and long drives.
Hoping to refill our calories, we decided to order some Indian food: starters and biryanis.
Quantity is very less, the meat is stale/expired/rotten. Half filled containers and one of the starters tasted like it’s frozen meat from Walmart.
One of my friends almost vomited after biting into one of the starters.
Most horrible experience I have ever faced with Indian or any other food.
I sincerely hope no one would go to this place and ruin their vacation to glacier national park.
They staff is unresponsive and customer experience is horrendous at best.

Absolutely horrible experience. Ordered pickup for a large group. The guy at reception assured us whatever we ordered was enough for our group. However, what we got was half filled containers of stale meat. Chicken 65 was so horrible that one of my friends actually spit it out after taking a bite. Chicken pakora was mostly just fried dough with minimal meat. Even Biryani orders were adjusted to fill 8 containers halfway.
We tried calling the restaurant but they are not responsive at all. This is not the kind of experience anyone would want to deal with when trying to enjoy a weekend vacation.
No idea how this restaurant is rated so high. Do yourself and your palate a favor and do not pick this restaurant if you want to try Indian food.

Very disappointing experience. We ordered 16 items, and several of them were significantly underfilled. Around 3–4 items were only about half full, which is completely unacceptable for what we paid.
I haven’t even judged the food quality because the portion sizes were the main issue. We had just returned from a long trip and were starving, only to find that a substantial part of our order was missing in terms of quantity.
This felt careless and poor value for money. I expect the restaurant to serve the portions customers pay for. I hope the management addresses this issue so it doesn’t happen to others.

Every year when we make the long drive from Arizona to Kalispell, this is the restaurant we look forward to the most. Before we’ve even unpacked, we’re already talking about going to Nameste Montana Indian Cuisine.
On this visit we ordered the chicken tikka masala, cheese naan, butter naan, vegetable samosas, hot chai tea, and a mango smoothie. Every single thing was outstanding. The chicken tikka masala has a rich, creamy sauce with tender pieces of chicken, and both kinds of naan came out warm, fresh, and perfect for scooping up every last bite. The vegetable samosas were hot and crispy with a flavorful filling. The chai tea was exactly what you hope for on a cool Montana day, and the mango smoothie was smooth, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal.
One of the things that makes this place so special is the owners and staff. They are genuinely kind, take the time to visit with their customers, and somehow remember us every year when we come back. That personal touch makes us feel more like friends than customers, and it’s a big reason we keep returning.
After months away, it’s comforting to know the food is just as incredible as we remember. The quality, flavors, and hospitality have never let us down. Nameste has become part of our annual tradition, and for us, a trip to Kalispell isn’t complete without eating here. It’s an absolute must!
