Overall good. I’d say some items are very overpriced, while others are more in line with what I’d expect for the area. Service was slow with a few forgotten drink a couple of times but everyone was very nice and it was quickly corrected. If I was trying to fit in a lunch in work hours I’d have been very stressed. As we were there for a relaxing afternoon I was unbothered. They were very accommodating of some of the group arriving at different times and adding a 5th chair on the end of a 5 seater table. Food is good, some creative starters. Not as many creative/original cocktail choices as I hoped. Not as memorably full of flavour as the similarly positioned (& slightly cheaper) Brigadiers round the corner. Would I go again? Yes, if not during lunch or under any time pressure, and Brigadiers is too busy to get a table.

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!
