Namaasté Kitchen

Sprouting off from Bloomsbury’s Salaam Namaste, this bright new restaurant is bringing visual thrills to Camden with its sophisticated interior & open-to-view kitchen. Grilling is the main theme, with much depending on the tandoor, the open-flame sigri & iron-plate tawa – book a chef’s table to get close to the action. Char-grilled rack of lamb with masala potatoes, whole sea bass marinated in ‘raw coastal spices’ & own-smoked seekh kebab share the billing with various nibbles & curries: from chicken livers on toast & prawn samosa with papaya chutney, to Kashmiri-style lamb shank & lobster Malabar. The culinary fireworks take place against a deliberately rustic, contemporary backdrop of bare brick walls, American walnut pillars & cream leather seating. There’s also a bar area for all-day snacks & cocktails.
