Namaste Bar & Grill

We rolled into Santa Cruz around 8 p.m. on a Thursday – overdue for dinner and hungry. Luckily, Namaste Bar and Grill was just a short walk from where we were staying, so we headed over to check it out.

We grabbed a table outside in the ocean breeze, the patio heaters keeping us warm. It was such a nice way to ease into the evening after traveling.

For dinner, we shared the vegetable momo, chicken tikka masala, cashew chicken, and butter naan. Everything was packed with flavor and totally hit the spot.

Namaste’s central location made it super convenient. We love that it is right across from the beach. It turned out to be the perfect spot for a first night in town.
