A time in the mid 1980s, when Om Beach was called Dhoni Bail (boat ground), and the only way to get there was to walk around 6 kilometres, there used to be many a tired and hungry travelers arriving at an isolated beach. It was then that a dal chawal joint came up by the side of the beach, where the founder used to serve food cooked by his grandmother, thus heralding the sunrise of the tourism industry in Gokarna.

What started in the mid 80s for a couple of years as a beach side shack, was in abeyance for a few years when the founder moved to Himachal to start a Namaste Cafe there.

And then started the journey of Namaste Cafe as we know it today. Snuck in at the corner of the beach, catering to a dedicated base of guests from the past 25 years, who come back regularly.
