We went to Namak as a family of four last night and we had a great time! The food was exceptional and even better than I was expecting! Given the quality of the food it wasnt expensive in relation...and the wine selection was varied and well priced! Very smart nice restaurant with nice decor and white tablecloths and whtie cotton napkins, and the service was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend as a place for authentic "real" Indian cuisine and we will be back again soon!

Lovely venue, although in the middle of no where in my opinion. Service was good as we had early booking. Starters was delicious, the venison kebab, the quails egg I would have preferred it to be a bit runnier in the middle when you cut into it. The sauce was great and good amount just right for the amount. The mix grill was a disappointment due to the small portion size, there was not enough flavour to this dish. The prawn purée was nice, please serve in a flat plate as it will be easier to eat than the round bowl we had it served in. Ambience was nice. Mains were ok the meat dish was not spicy enough as per details on the menu, the dhansak was lovely, the peshwari naan was yummy. The duck dish would be better to be cooked to one’s tastebud, I would have preferred this a little less cooked. Dessert- we didn’t enjoy in the way it was described on the menu, however the cake for the birthday was nice along with the other complimentary little pot we had. A lovely evening full of lovely food
