A beautiful hidden gem with a gate into a garden, colorful tables and atmosphere. The food was authentically made and full of yummy flavors. Portion size is a good sized, you may want to get more if your hungry! The service was splendid from a chef who was working all alone and we were 5 orders. Curry box, burger and kathi Roll were all amazing!! I definitely recommend if your vegan and looking to eat something that will have your body feeling good. Fyi - no toilets but super worth the wait!

We tried the Vegetarian Burger and the Vegetarian Chaat Masala, which were both delicious. The cook there was very kind and welcoming. It's tucked out of the way and is takeaway only, but it's definitely worth the trip!

Delicious food in a delightful setting with great service. What more could you want? We ate in and loved it. So much so, two days later we had take away and took lunch to lac pombonne. Both were delightful and friendly service with a smile is always welcome

Original Indian food with a twist (so hard to find in the Dordogne). We all loved it! Service was also extremely friendly, would definitely recommend!

We were looking for somewhere to grab a quick meal before our flight and found this place on Google Maps. Absolutely delicious food. I had a chicken burger and my girlfriend had a vegeterian wrap, both were amazing! Probably the best food we had after 3 weeks in France. The chap running the place was super friendly too. If you travel their using Google Maps, don't be confused by the very residential area you find yourself in. It's effectively run in an out-building from a residential plot, so it's quite discreet and easy to miss. Well worth a pre-flight detour though.

Me and my wife visited namaste India on our trip to Bergerac. We ordered their signature burger and Katti roll. The food was superb and well presented. The chef and his wife were very welcoming and super friendly. I will definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a delicious Indian cuisine, the Namaste India style. I’ll give them 10 stars. I wish them all the good luck. Love from London
