According to a recent permit filing, Namaste The Royal Taste of India aims to expand to 1213 1/2 Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham’s Central Business District.
Namaste has an open location in Blaine, making this the second location for the concept. “From aromatic biryanis to savory curries, our menu offers a delightful array of options to satisfy every palate.”
According to a recent article from The Northern Light, “Namaste The Royal Taste of India has been open for business since just December 2023, but it has already established itself as a go-to destination for flavors this side of the border. Owner Chirag Prajapati said he had the idea of opening an Indian restaurant since 2017, but was unable to find a suitable location while searching the Seattle and Lake Sammamish area.”
“Prajapati grew up in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in western India. He got his first job in food service managing a Subway sandwich shop, and is now celebrating his first summer owning and operating his own restaurant.”
“Namaste has a dish for everyone, no matter how unfamiliar they are with the palate of traditional Indian cuisine. For those who are just starting their culinary journey, start with the butter chicken, a mild, tomato-based sauce over tender bites of chicken. For those looking to try something more adventurous, Prajapati recommends the vegetable or chicken Chettinad, a spicy and aromatic masala dish.”
