Namak Mandi is of those rare restaurant that gives you the taste of food as if you are in the country where the food is from! My friends and I came twice during my recent trip to London. I would highly recommend their Chicken Karahi and their rice. I am extremely picky about rice as I also cook it with much details on my own. But their rice is another level, specifically with the carrot. Surely, as people have already written, it takes sometimes for your orders being served, but very normal as it is freshly cooked. Always order a big Nan, tell them to bake it more. And order a mango juice, it makes the experience much nicer, specifically if you make your orders spicy. And, yeah, their spicy level is serious. Their portions are very generous and prices are very reasonable. And, the restaurant vibe is not ideal! It is among those categories of restaurant where you go for the food, not the atmosphere! Just I wish this restaurant was more central in London.

We were seated in a room, and it was a very nice and traditional experience. The food was delicious and great value for money. The bread and lassi were exceptional — truly out of this world. Go hungry, as the portions are generous and worth every bite. Highly recommended!

Quite a pleasant surprise, recommend by a taxy driver this place offer you a nice variety of Afgan food. The food was delicious, very well prepared, and presented. The staff is very friendly and polite, helping you with allergies or any other particular requests. The only negative parts for me are parking and CASH ONLY, but you can do bank transfer ...if you are ok with that. There is no parking on the street, but during the afternoons, you can find parking on the side streets. I definitely recommend it!

Food 10/10. Chapali kebab and lamb karahi were spicy, hot and very tender. Service was speedy and they also gave complimentary kheer which was really hospitable of them. Prices are also very reasonable. They were quite pressuring with table time and bringing the bill without us asking. But i understand because it's a small restaurant and even at 9pm on a weekday they had people waiting to sit. So I don't hold it against them. Would definitely recommend and would come back :)

I recently dined here for the first time, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a delightful meal. The food was simply outstanding—each dish was bursting with flavor and creativity. It's clear that the chefs pour their heart and soul into what they create. As their tagline suggests, the food truly does speak to the soul! ❤️ The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. Their passion for the food and the dining experience was evident and added to the overall enjoyment of the evening.
