Salaam Namaste

A luxurious peek into modern Indian cooking, Salaam Namaste prides itself on serving exceptional plates in a sleek and elegant setting.

Making its home in Bloomsbury just a short walk from Russel Square, Salaam Namaste certainly fits into this stylish neighbourhood. Classic glamour meets playful pops of colour with the restaurant's teal and powder pink scheme that materialises into plush booths, cushioned dining chairs and even an eye-catching canopy out front. An army of different hanging lamps add structure, intrigue and modernity whilst also creating cosy corners that work perfectly for date night.

But of course, the food is the star of the show, bringing forth bold flavours and new recipes that will have you falling head-over-heels. To get a feel for Salaam's signature cooking, look to their house specialties which include a slow cooked lamb shank with soft potatoes, a chicken dish from the royal halls of Kolhapur and a seafood moilee brimming with scallops, seabass and king prawns.

Salaam Namaste also put their own spin on the tandoor grill. Responsible for cooking premium cuts of meat and fresh seafood with that irresistible smoky finish, indulge in all kinds of kebabs as well as chicken tikka, aromatic grilled sea-bass and marinated prawns. As for vegetarians, they have their own section of the menu full of dals, paneer-based curries and spiced vegetables. And with that, prepare to say 'namaste' to this temple of modern Indian cooking, soon to be your favourite spot this side of London.
