Namma Restaurant: A Taste of Authentic Indian Cuisine in Milpitas

Best Biriyani filled with flavor and good level of spice. The meat was well cooked. Loved the chicken drumsticks. Kids loved it. Will visit the place again for sure.

A good south Indian restaurant in the area. It was my first time and I loved it. A proper Tamil cuisine and the flavors were bomb. We got the Mother’s Day app money and veg thalis along with govib65 and tawa fish fry. The gobi 65 was crispy not too oily and had a sour kick to it with a glaze of Chinese sauces. The tawa fry was fresh and the spicy were apt, however we felt it could have been a bit spicier to our likings. The thali was amazing. It had several money curries and biryani. Man the biryani was amazing and the fish curry was super good. It was a close resemblance to my home food and I loved it. It was a wholesome menu with desserts (chocolate mousse). All parts of the thali was flavorful, and my mouth was watering to take more bites. Very tempting and I’d definitely recommend people to try this. One of the best experience I’ve had recently with South Indian cuisine. Their ambience was cozy and their service was amicable, quick and smooth. Overall a must visit.

We went on a Friday for lunch on the second day of the restaurant's opening day. Service: We got a very warm welcome when we entered the restaurant. We got our food within no time. The staff checked on us multiple times and our water cups were always filled. The service was excellent. Decor: This used to be Dish-Dash before, so the decor is the same. Simple and clean. Food: The restaurant was in their soft opening phase and so they did not offer an extended menu, but there were enough veg and non-veg items on the menu. I am forgetting the exact names of the items that we ate. - Chicken appetizer - with green chili and pearl onions. I loved the taste. The green chili gave it a good kick. - Paneer appetizer - with onion and bell pepper. It had a different taste compared to other restaurants. We liked it but not sure why they are offering paneer dishes because paneer is a northern Indian food item. - Egg biryani - It was spicy and nice. It was more Andhra Style, I expected Chettinad style preparation in this restaurant. The side curry that came with the biryani was really good. I could have eaten a full bowl of that curry. The raita tasted good as well. - Lamb biryani - Loved it - Lamb curry - loved it. What I would like to see changed: Chettinad food is so delicious and varied, so stick to Chettinad food, don't mix Andhra, north Indian and Chettinad food.

We were at Namma Restaurant for Dinner last night, 24th Nov. Neat and nice Restaurant that serves majorly South Indian Cuisine. USP: traditional cooking on hot stone and coal grill to give a smoky flavour. Pallipalayam Chicken tasted great. Goat Biryani was satisfactory. Desserts awesome. A must try Restaurant when in Milpitas, CA, USA

Awesome traditional South Indian food for both veg and non-veg. Healthy also due to the type of rice they use. Never had such good stuffed mirchi (chilli bajji) that is both not too spicy and has a punch to it. Biryani was authentic. We tried both the veg biryani and chicken biryani. Buttermilk was also very good although I’d say they can go less on seasoning as I prefer not to have lentils when I drink. Place is spacious and nicely decorated. Parking is a breeze. Price is reasonable. Service is awesome!

Recently visited Namma for dinner with family and it left a strong impression with its spacious, neat interior, which is perfect for accommodating larger groups. Namma specializes in Tamil Nadu-style food, known for its bold, spicy flavors, and it certainly lived up to that reputation. For those who enjoy heat in their meals, this is a great choice. We started with the Palipalayam Paneer which was a great dish with coconut and red chillies. Baby corn was a little spicy for kids but adults enjoyed it. Paneer butter Masala had an excellent smoky flavor that really enhanced the dish. The taste was rich and satisfying. Garlic Naan was a highlight—it was cooked to perfection, soft yet slightly crisp, just as it should be, packed with garlic flavor. Cauliflower 65 was crunchy, offering a nice texture, though I felt it could have benefited from a bit more seasoning to elevate the overall flavor. Finally, the Biryanis served with gravy and raita were stars of the meal and were absolutely delicious. The spices were well-balanced, and the combination of flavors made it a standout dish. Overall, the food is flavorful, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is perfect for group dining.

Our first experience here food was delicious!value for money with more quantity . Must try chicken 65,garlic naan ,chicken tikka masala . Definitely better than thalapakatti. Mutton biryani was equally good . Overall recommended !

Fantastic South Indian food I like their cauliflower pepper fry and jeeraga samba biryani Kids usually favorite is their cauliflower-65 and I <3 their pallipalayam paneer, the naans are crispy and huuuge!! & they recommend trying just 1 pc for 2 people before ordering more. Their 'Neer moru' or the buttermilk with crushed green chilies is a must-try-drink esp on a hot sunny day.
