Namaste Veg Kitchen, Phoenix

Vegetarian Indian food has a history dating back over 5,000 years, but you don't need a time machine to get a mouthful of this traditional cuisine. Instead, grab a plate at Namaste Veg Kitchen, a modern restaurant featured by ABC 15 in late 2016 as one of the newcomers to the local dining scene. Their traditional menu includes gluten-free and vegetarian savory meals, snacks, and dessert options. Serving up dishes from samosas to garbanzo bean curry, Namaste Veg Kitchen favors Indian spices such as curry and cumin to brighten and flavor their dishes, lending them a bold taste without the use of meat or eggs. Hungry veggie-lovers can sample these flavors in the dine-in kitchen or grab a take-out box to eat at home.
