Namaste to Open in Cambridge

A new restaurant is coming to a section of Cambridge that has relatively few dining spots, and it looks like it may be focusing on Indian fare.

Notes from a License Commission General Hearing that took place this week indicate that Namaste is planning to open on River Street near the western edge of Cambridgeport (between Central Square and the Charles River), with the name coming from a word that is used as a greeting or salute in India. Based on the restaurant group/company mentioned in the meeting notes, it appears that Namaste may be connected with a hospitality group based in India, though we are still trying to confirm this.

Namaste is hoping to have a capacity of 74 inside the restaurant, with seating for 15 more in a seasonal outdoor patio. The dining spot plans to be open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday.

The address for this upcoming restaurant in Cambridge is: Namaste, 277 Western Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02139.
