Namaskar Restaurant

We avoided this venue due to a bad experience a few years ago. This time everyone was super friendly and the owners / managers regularly checked on everyone to make sure that everyone was happy and well looked after. The food is wonderfully aromatic and spicy. A bit pricy, but well worth a visit for a special occasion.Food: 4/5

Excellent Indian restaurant. Huge amount of vegan options. I visited this restaurant about 8 years ago and on my recent trip to Pretoria I had an opportunity to go there again. The food was outstanding. They only had one vegan dessert option. It was a bit pricey, but very enjoyabke. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We enjoyed the most wonderful experience at Namaskar!! Excellent service, amazing food, such a beautiful restaurant and decor......I feel it is a hidden gem!! Unassuming from the outside, stunning inside. The generous portions of food was so beautifully presented and was just so delicious, flavourful and amazing! We can absolutely recommend this restaurant. We will definitely return and work our way through the extensive, generous menu.

The decor is beautiful and classy. Amazing Indian aesthetic. The staff are attentive. We were fortunate to have had no other patrons around so maybe we were lucky. The food was delicious, we were extremely satisfied. We are vegetarian for the month so had the Punjabi samoosas and onion & potato pakoras for starters. The mint chutney and accompanying sauce were amazing. The pastry on the samoosa was quite thick and doughy however the batter on the pakoras were light and crisp. We had the Namaskar dum breyani, Dhal Tatka and Paneer Makhni for mains. Both the curries came with basmati rice but we opted to add a butter naan and chilli garlic naan. Everything was spectacular. The Dhal Tarka and breyani paired really well and the Paneer was soft with a rich, creamy gravy. For desserts we had the chai with Kulfi and Shrikandt desserts. Both were creamy but a bit too sweet. Will definitely be a hit if you have a sweet tooth. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful decor. There is a section for small parties. The bar area is well stocked with a huge selection of alcohol and there is a separate wine room. The food was REALLY delicious. Everything that the adults ordered was lovely. Sadly there is no children's menu with limited options for children. On advice from the waitress, I ordered the butter chicken for my son, I mentioned to the waitress that it is for the child and it must be super mild- with no chilly at all. Sadly, the meal was too spicy and my son ate the plain rice. Dhall, salad and pickle are not included with the breyani. The restaurant is on the second floor but is wheelchair friendly with access via stairs or elevator. The food is extremely pricey but all the adults enjoyed our meals. Due to the prices, I feel like this restaurant is more for special occasions rather than regular meals.

Amazing food, super tasty. Price might be a little high but the quality and freshness of the food are well worth it. The restaurant is so peaceful and calming as well. Everything is clean and tidy. Expect to pay around R250 for a meal. This is a must try restaurant.

Received food floating in the bag, phoned owner and he indicated that it is the drivers fault. Cheap packaging for expensive food, not cling wrapped. Not the first time either. Owner not prepared to find a solution. Namaskar should not be delivering food

The food at Namaskar was very good, and the service was excellent. The layout of the restaurant is good, and there is ample seating. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. The owners are present and show genuine interest and their restauran. The menu is very expansive, and there should be something for most tastes on the menu.

Quantity of the food is less. Also they have a system where they charge 10% of the bill as mandatory payment towards gratuity..all the dishes are very expensive. The taste of the food is just par.

The food was OK...nothing memorable about it. The food prices have increased substantially but the portion sizes have halfed. The owners are lovely and welcoming. The waitresses couldn't even fake a smile if they triedFood: 3/5
