The food here is amazing, one of the best restaurants in Essex. Flavourful, well presented food. Wonderful warm service from helpful staff and nice decor too. Was the only veggie in our party and all the meat eaters were just as happy as me and want to go back already! You don't come across places like this often, so make sure you go. Thanking staff and chefs for such a lovely meal.

Namaste Village is a true gem for vegetarian Indian cuisine enthusiasts. From the moment you step in, the warm and vibrant atmosphere sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Starters: We kicked off our meal with the Buffalo Cauliflower, which was delightfully crispy with just the right level of spice. The Veggie Kebabs were perfectly grilled, full of flavour, and paired with a tangy mint chutney. The Masala Puri, a street food favourite, brought a burst of textures and spices that transported us straight to the streets of India. Mains: The highlight was the Jackfruit Biryani, served with a hearty Chickpea Curry and refreshing Raita—a creative, satisfying combination that impressed everyone at the table. The Paneer Lababdar was rich, creamy, and had a balanced tangy-sweet flavour, perfect with the soft, fluffy Chilli Garlic Naans. Drinks: To complement our meal, we tried the Strawberry Pomegranate Virgin Mojitos, which were refreshingly sweet and tangy with a hint of mint—a delightful way to cleanse the palate between bites. Namaste Village offers an innovative menu, excellent service, and beautifully presented dishes. Whether you're a vegetarian or just looking to try something new, this restaurant is a must-visit. Would definitely return to explore more of their menu!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Namaste Village Veg Restaurant in Southend-on-Sea, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely divine! Every dish was expertly prepared, presented, and packed with flavor. As a vegetarian, it's not often that I get to enjoy such a wide variety of delicious options. But what truly made our evening special was the warm and welcoming ambiance. The restaurant's decor is beautifully designed, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, happy to answer our questions about the menu and make recommendations. Overall, I highly recommend Namaste Village Veg Restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional vegetarian cuisine in a lovely setting. We can't wait to come back! Well done, Namaste Village!"
