SERVING NORWICH SINCE 2010
A Norwich landmark.
A warm Indian welcome.
On Queens Road, close to Norwich city centre, our home carries a story that began long before our kitchen arrived. Built in 1887 as a Methodist Sunday school, this Grade II-listed building has welcomed generations through its doors.
Our own journey began with a little café on Magdalen Street in 2010, followed by Namaste Indian opposite Norwich Castle. In 2016, we made Queens Road our home—bringing Indian vegetarian cooking, family traditions and the warmth of a shared table into its next chapter.
Reclaimed wood brings its own warmth and character to the historic setting. Inspired by Atithi Devo Bhava—“the guest is God”—we welcome you with care, whether Norwich is home or somewhere you are discovering for the first time.
There is a quiet sense of destiny in this building’s next chapter: the architect associated with its 1887 Sunday school, Augustus Frederic Scott, was himself a vegetarian. More than a century later, its doors open to a home for Indian vegetarian food, kindness and shared hospitality.
