Honestly not quite what I had expected from this branch. We had ordered multiple orders just hoping something good as this was close to the broad walk. I had no complains for ambience and service but the foods where we’re it got all wrong!! Especially the dumplings as since we come from Nepal and having the taste of the cuisine from our home country was something we were expecting from somewhere close to broad walk during our vacation. We then got a chicken curry and chicken naan which were mediocre too much oily and use of tomatoes just to make it not quite the food.

Sorry to say this is the worst pizza (namaste special)I ever had in my entire existence. It came out overcooked and burned. There was not much flavor to it except burned pizza. The pizza took awhile to get to my table. For $27, I expected more for the pizza. Maybe it’s just my pizza. But will not come here anymore or will recommend my friends.

We were visiting Santa Cruz and looking for places to eat when we found Namaste Grill and Bar. We went in and ordered Chicken momo( we’re Nepalese, it’s kind of a given to order momo), Mushroom Oyster Curry, Chicken Tikka masala, with some Naan and Lamb Biryani. The momo was great. The curries were delicious.
