About Namak Mandi

Customer Review Summary
The karahi is where opinions split. One reviewer found the lamb karahi disappointing and lacking depth, while another called it rich and tender. The chicken karahi was called average, and the charsi chicken karahi was described as just ok and not spicy enough. One group objected to water bottles left on the table and then charged on top of drinks they had already bought. Another reviewer notes that daytime parking is a hassle. Complimentary firni and kava at the end of a meal are mentioned as a nice touch.

“Absolutely loved the food and the overall experience. Excellent service, delicious food, and a beautiful atmosphere. Definitely worth a 5-star rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
- Irfan Naqvi
“Best taste in town! The lamb chops and Kabuli pulao were phenomenal. Outstanding flavors and great quality. Highly recommended!”
- Shema Khanom
“Good food 9/10 atmosphere staff were pleasant. 10/10 8 of us went and bought few things to share. Worked out to be just under £14 each and descent amount of food. However disappointed that the water bottles are left on table without being asked to do so, we had already bought drinks and then charged for bottles on top of that. It should not be left on the table if it is not free.”
- N Hayat
“Went there for my graduation dinner and found the place welcoming. Everything we ordered was hot and delicious, the only reason I gave the four stars was charsi chicken karahi was just ok, I was expecting it to be spicy and missing the exact flavour. Rest everything was good.”
- R Chye
“Enjoyed the flavours done so well. The dishes were not too hot and therefore the spices of the food can be appreciated. Mango lassi (recommend the jug) is a must as it is more mango than yoghurt.”
