Namaste Hoi An

A Vietnamese woman named Grace learned to cook Indian food while living in Delhi, then opened this place in Hoi An. That origin story matters because the food actually reflects it – the paneer tikka masala and butter paneer get called out repeatedly as genuinely well-balanced, not watered-down approximations.

Grace is the main reason people come back. Multiple reviewers specifically mention her by name, and one person spent a month in Hoi An and landed here as a firm favourite. That kind of repeat loyalty in a tourist town means something.

It sits far enough from the Old Town bar strip to feel calm without being inconvenient. If you’re craving a break from Vietnamese food and want something cooked by someone who takes it seriously, this is the right call.
