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!
