Namak - Indian Specialty Restaurant

Unclaimed

Known for its Indian food across the city, we finally got a day to give them a visit. Completely enthralled by the experience right from the ambience to the hospitality and food they have got it all right. Our server Siddesh assisted us so well and had end to end knowledge about the menu. We went for 3 course meal plan that is priced at roughly 3k per head. They have 4 starters, 4 main course and 2 desserts under this. We opted for the non veg version. In the starters, we began with Murgh Malai kebab. Really creamy and cooked well to make the meat tender. Then it was the Tandoori Zinga prawns. Huge palm size prawns served on a sizzling plate. Next we went for the lamb kebab and the stuffed mushrooms. Both of them were so soft that it melts the moment its in your mouth. For the main course they have all kinds of assorted breads and gravies. Their dal makhani is what took out hearts away. It's the first time I've ignored my meat gravies to have dal. It's made for some 48 hours didn't get that clear but the aroma it had was magnificent. Overall we had a great time. Eagerly looking forward to visiting them again!

On a serious note, Namak serves one of the best Indian cuisine in town. Everything here was so modernly authentic! The restaurant is named after the the significant act which took place on 6th April 1930 where our beloved Mahatma Gandhi Ji broke the unfair SALT LAW Not only the ambiance is welcoming of this restaurant but also the food is mind blowing. Located in one of the most beautiful five star property; Sahara Star this restaurant gives you an option to either choose your meal from a set course menu or an A la carte. Prices are ofcourse on the higher side but trust me the quality of the food and the overall experience is definitely worth it! We chose A La Carte Menu... Our Recommendations 1. Malai Doodhiya Mushroom 2. Tandoori Broccoli 3. Khatte Anardane ke Chole 4. Dal Makhani We couldn’t find anything missing in every dishes we tried here. Zafrani Paratha is something you can’t skip if you’re dining at Namak. Have eaten Indian food so often but experiencing the delicacy provided by Namak restaurant was magical. Special thanks to Chef Darshan and server Sagar who took care of our experience! Sahara Star has been always our favourite place to unwind with friends and family and it never disappoints us. Namak serves typical Indian Desserts which include Gulab Jamun, Rasgulla etc but it tastes the best! Overall it’s an amazing restaurant!

Love place to done at. Visited with family and enjoyed the dishes. Had butter chicken, salmon starters, refreshing mock tails and the desert was good. The service was a bit slow but ambiance and food is great.

My 3rd visit to Sahara Star and this time around visited Namak. Finally managed to get one thing of my bucket list of restaurants which I always wanted to visit. Located at Level 00 like most of the other restaurants at Sahara Star, Namak serves authentic Indian cuisine. Chic ambience, live kitchen, soothing music, lipsmacking food, prompt and courteous service; this sums up our experience at Namak. We preferred the Chef's recommended menu here since it is a three course meal, along with starters, main course and dessert. We were welcomed with an inaugural drink - a refreshing mix of pineapple juice and mint leaves. Moving to the appetizers, it was a platter of 3 starters - Tandoori Malai Paneer Roll, Chenna Palak Ki Shami and Shimbi Paneer Ki Seekh. All three contain paneer but of all my absolute favourite is Chenna Palak Ki Shami. This Palak with cheese filling kebab literary melts in your mouth, the chef has done a fabulous job by preparing a veg version of this all time favourite kebab. Tandoori Malai Paneer Roll was also brilliant, again Paneer extremely soft and fresh marinated in pickling spices if onion and mint malai cheese grilled in tandoor to perfection. Shimbi Paneer Ki Seekh has a dominant mustard flavour with beans and paneer filing. Loved all the starters. To go along with food - starters and mains, we called for couple of mocktails - Crimson Tide and Kala Khatta. Crimson Tide is something that I would definitely recommend of the two - Mango juice, orange slice, berry crush and plenty of ice. Refreshing mocktail. Now moving to the mains there were three vegetables Khade Masale Ke Paneer, Tripoliya Subzi and Sua Dakhni Saag which is Namak's version of Sarson Da Saag. Of the three I would say Tripoliya Subzi - mix veggies was the best, one of the best I have had in a long time. Signature dish at Namak and a must have at Namak. Sua Dakhni - spinach based veggie gives this amazing smokey taste, which I personally love. This is due to roasted garlic. Again a must try for those who like Sarson Da Saag. All these veggies were accompanied with the Thikri Dal Makhani, creamy and super yummy! For breads we called for Zaffrani Paratha which is a layered paratha along with tonnes of Saffron in it. Loved this paratha as well, another must try! Post this we ended the mains with Tarkari Biryani served with Raita. Biryani was superb had layers of rice with veggies and spices. Finally moving to dessert we had the signature one Shaad-e-Jamun which is mini jamuna baked and layered with rabdi. A must try dessert, don't miss this for anything. One of the most memorable experience, one of the most memorable evening, all thanks to Namak Sahara Star. Special thank you to the chef Karan Singh who prepared this delicious meal for us. Also our server Saeed, for being extremely courteous and helpful. A must visit, especially when celebrating any special occasions with your friends or family. Hope to come back here sooner than later!
