About Us

Our goals & history

Jambo Namaste Fusion is located in the heart of Cricklade, within the historic Vale Hotel, owned by Mark Ingle. Formerly known as the White Horse Inn, this landmark once played a pivotal role in local political events of the late 18th century and served as a key posting house along the Oxford to Bristol Turnpike, established in 1787. Now a proud winner of Four in a Bed, the Vale Hotel offers a truly unique culinary experience. Alongside the already established Jicsaw Thai Restaurant, Jambo Namaste Fusion brings together the vibrant flavors of Kenyan and Indian cuisines. Our mission is to create a memorable dining journey that celebrates diversity, fosters community, and invites guests to share the joy of exceptional meals with loved ones.

our food philosophy

At Jambo Namaste Fusion, we believe that food is more than just sustenance – it’s an experience that brings people together. Our head chef, Alisha, infuses the rich flavours of her roots in northern and Malabar southern India with the vibrant tastes of Kenyan cuisine. Her chef’s special curries are the best sellers, crafted with fresh ingredients and aromatic spices that deliver a perfect balance of tradition and modern flair. We follow the ethos of "Atithi Devo Bhava", treating every guest as god, ensuring they feel welcomed and cherished. As one recent review highlighted, "We were blown away by the food, service, and atmosphere... the chef prepared some of the best Asian/African infused dishes we've ever tried!"

At Jambo Namaste Fusion, every dish is a heartfelt experience.

“Mark and the team were so welcoming. My friend is gluten free, they made us gluten free chapattis and the food was delicious. Staff were very friendly, would definitely recommend! Kid-friendliness: Mark gave my son ice cream and didn't charge us. He was very hospitable and gave him a toy to play with"

By Fiona Denniss

“We stopped by this restaurant during our weekend away near Cricklade and we were blown away by the food, service, and atmosphere.. The restaurant chef is just one lady: She was very sweet and helped us decide what we would like from her menu. She cooked some of the best Asian/African-infused dishes we have ever tried, and to do all that on her own blew us away! Huge compliments to the chef The gentleman in front of the house was also very welcoming and professional. The atmosphere is lovely with the paintings and the music. We would definitely return if we ever pass Cricklade again!"

By Shan

“What a wonderful place. I live a carnivore lifestyle and dread my dinners when I'm away for work because it's not a way of eating that is widely accepted or understood, however, my requests were handled without a blink of an eye and I felt respected. The food was cooked to perfection and the staff could not have been more welcoming. I definitely going back when I'm next in time. Thank you for the fantastic experience"
