I love the food from Namaste India, it's always very flavorful and filling. The rice dishes never disappoint with the portions given! The 15. Chicken Biryani tastes great, I wasn't expecting the underlying spice- like hot spicy - but the cucumber sauce stuff totally kills the heat and adds to the overall flavor of the dish. PS: Indians love spicy spicy food, so this dish is very American-friendly on the low-spicy spectrum (I suspect that my Indian friends would claim that it isn't spicy at all). Now, the 39. Nargisi Kofta is absolutely delicious. The sauce is sweet but not too sweet. I added a picture with one of the dumplings opened. I actually loved mixing the flavors of the curry-sauce from this dish with the 15. Chicken Biryani. The sweetness totally covers up the spicy hint and creates a whole new flavor.

Honestly blown away with how good the food was. 47. Chicken Tikka Masala was flavorful and spiced well. The 1. Vegetable Samosas were big and savory. And of course the 74. Garlic Naan was just as great as I had hoped. Will definitely be ordering again!

Overall bland. The 47. Chicken Vindaloo was not spicy at all, and I am not someone with a very high spice tolerance. The 4. Paneer Pakora was rubbery. The 78. Raita had what I'm assuming are boondi in it, which is not in the description on the menu.
I've never been impressed with any food that has come out of the Lincoln Kitchen, so I'm not particularly surprised. There are a lot better Indian restaurants in Northwest Indiana that are in the same price range.

the food was all well-prepared, However: the reason i am leaving a 2-star review, instead of my usual 5-star rating for Namaste India - is strictly due to the fact i specifically ordered the 46. Chicken Tikka Masala with a spice level of "0". The dish i received was spice level 4, on the 1-5 scale, and i had to adjust the dish myself, to avoid the extreme sensitivity to heat i experience as someone on the AUDHD spectrum. this is my first time ordering from the Lincoln Kitchen location, or for delivery: The Chesterton location always earns 11/5 stars from us, across the board!
as for the rest of our order: the 73. Garlic Naan was prepared precisely as i am accustomed to from the Chesterton location, the 4. Paneer Pakora,85. Gulab Jamun & additional sauces i ordered were phenomenal, as well! the portions are as expected, everything arrived quickly, was fresh, still warm, well packaged, fully accurate, and included the disposable plates/napkins/cutlery. will order again for sure!!

Seriously good food. The Dal 7. Dal Shorba Soup is very flavorful and it is not spicy. The 11. Tamarind Salad is surprisingly a large container of fresh onions, cucumbers, spinach, a couple of tomato slices, and a juicy slice of lemon all topped off with a sprinkle of flavorful spices. The 50. Chicken Daal surprised me with a slight kick of spiciness but the kick definitely isn't overpowering for the flavor of the dish. The chicken is also very tender. I purchased a side of rice and I highly recommend doing so for anyone reading this review. Finally, the 1. Vegetable Samosas did not disappoint! Deep fried deliciousness with a few sauces on the side. Overall, 10/10 recommend and 10/10 will buy again!
