Great quality Indian food! Staff are very kind and friendly! They explained all the food items in the buffet. They catered to us to make sure we felt comfortable. Ambiance is very nice and pleasant.
The Fish Fry, Chicken 65, Butter Chicken and Potato Curry were amazing!! Will definitely be coming back!!
Thank you!
The food was very flavorful, so much variety! The potatoes were my favorite dish, so delicious. The staff was very friendly and kind. They even took the time to explain everything that was on the buffet. I will definitely be back here!

Tried the place again after just 1 week of my last visit and ordered their Chicken Vindaloo entree upgraded to thali, to go. The entree was served with rice and was so yummy, I requested to make it spicy. Thali is like a sampler of different dishes. For extra $5, thali includes Naan bread ×1 and 5 smaller containers of various dishes. These are just teasers, very small portions, but I wish they had labels on each container, so I know which ones to get a full entree next time. :)
+upped to 5 stars

The place just opened last week. Tried their lunch buffet for $15.99. A lot of dishes to choose from, mostly vegetables and/or chicken dishes. I wasnt able to try everything on the buffet but I really liked the butter chicken, veggie biryani, and chana masala. The tandoori chicken tasted good as well but I got there pretty late (almost 2pm and buffet closes at 2:30pm) and the tandoori was a little on the dry side. Of course, the freshly made dosa and Naan were really good. I also liked one dish, but can't remember the name, it's fried dough with some sort of sweeten and mushed veggie inside( reminds me of Chinese sweet buns, just deep fried)
I didn't see any spinach paneer, gulab jamun, or mango/tamarind chutney in the buffet table, so just a tad disappointed. But, overall, the first experience was great
If trying the buffet, come a little earlier to enjoy more delicious food.
I recently had an incredible dining experience at Namaste Natomas Indian Cuisine in Sacramento, CA, and I can't wait to share my enthusiasm! From the moment we arrived, Shankar, the manager, and Kiran, our waiter, took exceptional care of us.
First and foremost, their South Indian buffet is hands down the best in the Natomas area, and surprisingly affordable at just $16.00 + taxes. I kicked off my meal with the Punugulu served with peanut chutney, and it was an explosion of flavors! The Punugulu were perfectly crispy on the outside and incredibly soft and fluffy on the inside, making it hard for me to resist having more.
The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the fresh, hot Naan that arrived straight to our table. I paired it with the Channa Masala and Navrattan Korma, and let me tell you, it was pure bliss for my taste buds! The Naan was delightfully crispy, and the Navrattan Korma had just the right balance of spices, creating a heavenly combination.
I also indulged in their Veg Biryani with Raita, which was another winner. The flavors were authentic, and the freshness of the ingredients truly shined through. I couldn't resist trying some of their pickles, and they added a delightful kick to the meal.
What impressed me the most was that every dish was cooked just like it would be at home—perfectly spiced without being overly oily, and everything tasted incredibly fresh.
The service was outstanding; we were seated promptly, and our needs were attentively taken care of throughout the meal. I didn't have to wait long to pay either, which was a pleasant surprise.
Namaste Natomas Indian Cuisine is a gem in the vibrant Natomas community, and I can't wait to return. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Indian cuisine with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be!
Great buffet . Good mix of south and North Indian flavors including Dosas. Naans are soft and fluffy . Gulabjamun is so soft , freshly made in the restaurant.
