Behind-the-Scenes: Namaste Curry House

The tallest point on earth, the summit of Mount Everest, lies in Nepal. It is roughly halfway across the world from Butler County. Summiting it’s 29,000-foot peak may be difficult during your next weekend getaway. Luckily, the delicious flavors and tastes of Nepal are now within reach without any climbing gear or guides required.

Namaste Curry House opened their doors to bring the delicious flavors of Nepal to Fairfield. Dilli Acharya and his family own and operate the restaurant. The immense amount of heart and time they put into the business shows. Dilli was born in Bhutan before moving to Nepal. Ten years ago, he moved to Chicago to work in the hotel industry. Now, he is happy to lead his family in running this Fairfield restaurant.

They chose to open in Fairfield because they saw a need for authentic food of Nepal in the area. While many people may be unfamiliar with this style, it’s close to another more common offering, Indian. Dilli describes Namaste as typical Indian and Nepali food. You can get the classic Indian dishes you love and have the opportunity to try something new.
