In countries across South Asia, Namaste is a greeting of respect that literally means, “I honor the divine in you.” We have chosen this as the name of our restaurant because we believe in its sentiments and want to extend our respect to all who grace us with their presence.

Namaste Café is housed in a charmingly renovated Victorian house with warm hardwood floors and cheerful walls painted in rustic orange and saffron hues.

The beautiful patio and porch, complete with a water fountain and a lush garden, is a cool urban oasis providing welcome respite from the summer heat.

The menu highlights are fresh curries, exciting chaats and spiced cocktails. The recipes originate from Indian and Nepali cuisine with a creative touch by the Owner and Chef, Saujanya Shrestha (“Sunny”).

Sunny loves sharing his culture and the food he was raised with to the local community where him and his wife, Nadine, have called home for the past two decades.

Not only will you find some of the best Chai in town, you can also rest assured that their ingredients are sourced from some of the best local, sustainable farms and suppliers in the midwest.
