About Namaste Village - Southend-On-Sea
The journey of Namaste Village began in Norwich about a decade ago with a spiritually motivated intention of serving honest Indian vegetarian food to the people of UK. In 2022, our journey, our karma or destiny if you'd call it, brought us to Cambridge, a place that we have always loved & respected as an abode of learning & knowledge. We are proud to have found ourselves a home away from home, in Cambridge. As our guest, YOU are an integral part of our story, our journey & our glory.
