Why it matters
Why Namaste Indian Restaurant (100% Vegetarian) is worth your time
A small vegetarian-only kitchen makes life easier for families who do not want to question each dish. It is an alternative to the beach-road restaurants in Chaweng.
The simple setting is part of its appeal, but it is not a place for elaborate service or air-conditioned comfort. Do check that it remains open, since small restaurants close or move. The directories that list it were refreshed recently, but a quick call is still wise before making the trip.
