About

About Namaste Express

Found at the Highbrook area, Namaste Express is an Indian restaurant that has become part of the Highbrook dining scene. From the Auckland city centre it is roughly 14 km away – worth planning your route before you set off.

The kitchen focuses on Indian food. Dishes typical of this style include butter chicken and palak paneer, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. It is one of 308 Indian venues we list in Auckland.

Doors are open every day of the week. The earliest start is 11 am on Mondays, and the latest finish is 9 pm on Mondays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 48 hours each week.

As a rough guide, expect to spend about $20–$40 a head at a Indian restaurant like this. The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 8 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
