The location used to be a late night a diner but they have used the space well for their needs. Plenty of booths to sit at and the counter is still there. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. For food we started off with the Chicken 65 and that was really delicious. If was my first time having that and I will be back again for it. We also shared the chicken vindaloo and butter chicken and both were well seasoned and great portions. The garlic naan was amazing and freshly made. Overall I will be back and will be adding it to my list favorite Indian spots in DFW. Go check them out.

I grabbed lunch here with a friend and it's a hidden gem!…read more Now, I have to say, I wasn't (and still am not) super familiar with traditional Indian cuisine, but I am familiar with good chicken and this is exactly that! The tandoori bone-in chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and the spices and flavor were excellent. I got it with a side of rice and cooling raita sauce, with were great complements to the chicken. The service was great, and they were very patient with me given my lack of familiarity with most of the menu items and seemingly unending list of questions. It's a pretty intimate atmosphere as well, it'd be a great spot for date night!

I'm back doing the same show again and have already been there twice. Have turned a few of the crew members onto this and they love it as well.

Truly disappointed!…read more My experience at this restaurant was uncomfortable and disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the visit felt very different from what I would expect at a welcoming restaurant. We were greeted politely at first, but shortly after, two non-Indian customers walked in, and the waitress immediately went over to welcome them and bring them water. We had not been offered water at that point. When she eventually came to our table, she asked if we were ready to order but did not seem fully present or attentive while we were speaking. We then had to ask if we could also get water. When it was brought out, one of the glasses was broken. Later, when we pointed it out and asked for another glass of water, there was no apology or real acknowledgment, which was very disappointing. We had to keep asking for water unlike other non Indian tables. The food itself was mediocre, but the service was what made the experience unacceptable. It felt like we were treated differently compared to other guests, and that is not something I expected or appreciated. Unfortunately, I will not be visiting again.

Getting here was only slightly tricky, as it's not located in a strip mall or anything, but down a somewhat crummy street, in its own gated area, with a parking lot. The buffet was modest but diverse, with a fully vegetarian buffet where 90% of the options are also gluten-free. I really enjoyed the Sambhar soup, Kofta balls in tomato gravy, the spicy-pickled peppers, and the Chickpea curry. The outdoor dining area is just lovely, especially with good weather, and the temple grounds are very peaceful and enjoyable. Very reasonable price for such a relaxing and unique meal, and the staff were very friendly. My only complaint is that since we got there about an hour after lunch, some of the food had gotten a bit dry.

Water constantly refilled. The food was like a flavor bomb in your mouth. We ordered the Saag with spice level of 3. We could have went higher but boy was it yummy.

It was light and full of fresh vegetables and pieces of Chicken and Shrimp. We all very much enjoyed Elephant and will be returning soon.

Pulled up to Namak Indian Restaurant ready to step outside my comfort zone and try something…read morenew--and let's just say... it turned into an experience. It was pretty obvious I was a first-time diner, and I was hoping for a little guidance through the menu--but that part was kind of missing. My friend had been raving about the butter chicken, so she ordered it... and so did my other friend--who, at one point, completely stopped talking because his head was on fire. Taste buds? Gone. Brain cells? DEEP FRIED!!!!So yeah... if you can't handle spice like me, consider that your warning .They both ordered mango lassis, garlic naan, and jeera pulao. This is an important part of the story but let's proceed with caution. I played it smart and ordered the tandoori salmon. The waiter hit me with, "What about your entrée?"--sir... this *is* the plan. Then came the subtle appetizer judgment, so I asked how big it was. Based on the hand gesture? I was expecting something light/ 4 ounces or less( another fact to be revealed lately. Tell me why this "appetizer" came out as a full-on 8-10 oz salmon, covered in this *delicious* mystery sauce with red onions, carrots, and a lemon wedge. A whole situation--and honestly, the flavor was perfect. The jeera pulao on the side though... let's just say it showed up but didn't say much. Now here's where it got... confusing. Since the sauce wasn't listed, I asked an employee passing by what it was--he told me he just clears tables. Next thing I know, the floor manager comes over asking if everything's okay. I'm like, "Everything's great--what is this sauce?" He looks completely puzzled. I point directly at the salmon like... *this sauce*. The confusion was real. Then he says, "Chef made the sauce." Sir... I would hope so Since the busser didn't know. At that point, the chef comes over asking if there's a problem. I assure him there's no issue--I just wanted to know about the sauce (turns out, dill was the main note), which, to be fair, was actually really good. The chef was kind, professional, and easily the highlight of the visit.But know I'm thinking it's the sauce they used if you don't order an entree .. Meanwhile, my friends are still recovering from what I'll call the butter chicken explosion--extremely spicy to the point it wasn't enjoyable, and somehow still lacking flavor. Disappointing for one of their most talked-about dishes. Their drinks were served and although the glassware was nice the drink itself was.......?? SWEEEET ,but not for me , We wrap up, decline dessert, and ask for a to-go box. Then... we wait. And wait. And wait. It's not even busy. No check, no follow-up--just vibes. After a solid 15 minutes, we're this close to leaving cash on the table. Finally, the server comes back. We ask for separate checks--he says he can't do it on the handheld device. Yeah... that's simply not true. Modern POS systems (especially handhelds) are built to split checks, assign seats, and handle exactly that. Whether it was lack of training or effort... not sure. Or just a lazy server who gives the service industry a bad name , excuse me if this is job then DO BETTER ! But we ended up split it three ways. Just to end the dreadful experience ! Bonus moment: he asked my friends to leave review while running their cards--but he didn't asked me / since I didn't order an entree and I tipped 20%.So my 22.00 appetizer  end up being 43, with tip . Shame on you agian. All in all: great salmon, chaotic communication, spicy struggles, and a memorable night for all the wrong and right reasons

Recently stopped by with a friend for a late lunch after watching some IGs posted by local foodies…read morewho raved about the food. The spot is more pick-up or DoorDash versus a traditional sit-in restaurant so the interior seating is spare (4-5 four tops). Greeted by the owner Fatima who asked questions regarding spice levels and offered recommendations as we ordered at the counter. The Mango Lassi was bursting with mango flavor and almost as thick as a milkshake, super refreshing. Samosas were fist-sized and very flavorful, served with catsup, a combo that was surprisingly delicious. The Chicken 65 appetizer was the right level of spicy for a comfortable burn and the chicken was perfectly cooked. My friend's healthy portion of Butter Chicken was extremely tasty with an equally large side of white rice, again perfectly cooked. The chicken biryani can be served bone-in or boneless (my choice) and was everything a diner would want from a biryani. The rice was perfectly cooked, the seasonings ratios were balanced, and the chicken was succulent. The portion was so large I was able to make 3 additional meals from the leftovers. The garlic naan is epic - it's the size of a 12" pizza and served on a pizza pan. Thin and crispy on the edges, more doughy in the center with a load of garlic and cheese on top. Do not skip the garlic naan. Really. We visited with owner Fatima during our meal and it is obvious her food is prepared with much love. The only issue with visiting the spot is that there are only 4 parking spaces which could be a challenge during peak dining hours. Loved that our meal was served in to-go containers with paper plates and plastic cutlery so all we had to do was retrieve lids and a bag to take home our leftovers. Highly recommend trying their food, perhaps ordering through DoorDash would be best due to the parking issue.

The cashier was so kind and polite. He had a big smile on his face. Every time I looked at him he was smiling.

A dessert and a mango lassi. The spice level was perfect. The portion was generous. I was able to make 2 meals of my order.
