Great food. Hard to find parking. Beware that the online ordering, even for pickup, is managed by DoorDash and items are up charged. My mutton korma was $6 more ordering online.

What a great Indian restaurant right in the n middle of downtown Dallas. Namak has great his for this late night folk, staying open until 10pm weekdays and midnight on the weekends. Here you can find tasty authentic Indian food with pretty decent drinks. I've had times where the staff could be a bit better, but I would still return when the craving hits. Especially if it's later and I really want some good Indian food when I'm in the Dallas as downtown area after other places have closed.

I love Indian food!!!! I'm in Dallas and instead of brisket, I wanted SAMOSA. In my typical fashion, I Yelped Indian food in walking distance from my hotel. .2 miles walk and I find Namak. Vegetable Samosa. Chili Chicken. Gallic Naan. And a Paul Bunyan sized Taj Mahal lager. I apologize, no pics lol! As soon as he brought it out I was like an uncaged animal. Perfect, I mean perfect combination of spice and flavor. My lips are still tingly, but the heat didn't overshadow the flavor. Everything was perfect. I've not been disappointed much by Yelp reviews and this one was a hit with me. 5 stars

Being in Dallas for a seminar in early October, I went with some coworkers here after people were raving about this spot. To their credit, it's one of the better indian restaurants I've been to for value and taste, not to mention it's right in the downtown area! Each of us ordered something different. With the group being about 12 deep, I don't recall some of the items but the ones I ordered were the Veg Pakoda (fried veggie fritters), lamb curry, and the garlic naan. All were delicious, the curry was one of the most flavorful curries I've had and the lamb was very tender. Scoop that naan in there, OMG! Other items I recall tasting were the veggie samosas, the chicken biryani, and butter chicken; all of which are full of flavors and spices. Mixing those with the basmati rice, we were all so full afterwards. The interior is clean and it felt like we were the only people there although a couple other small groups were at other tables. I dig the yellow/orange colors of the dining area which gives a comfortable vibe. Look forward to more events in Dallas so I can eat here again!

Got their food to-go and they have very good portions. Got the butter chicken mild, lamb vindaloo medium, garlic naan, and rice. Don't be a fool like me- rice comes with each curry. I ended up with THREE cups of rice for two people... Butter chicken was your typical flavor. Buttery, sweet. Pretty basic but delish. Large chunks of chicken breast. Lamb vindaloo had a nice kick and tender lamb. Flavorful, acidic, spicy. Garlic naan was chewy and delish. Can't say anything bad about carbs and garlic. Overall hit the spot! Would definitely come back.

Chicken 65, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan Butter Chicken was great!! Really great sauce, super flavorful, decently tender chicken. The chicken 65 was okay, kind of fell flat. Garlic Naan was yummy!

While it's hidden in a nook and took me a while to find, I am glad I found it. Great ambience as you enter... a mix of hole in the wall and elegance ... the food was awesome. I ordered masala tea and vada paav. The combo was awesome and the Vada had filling that was tasty af. It's seldom that vada ( of Vada pav combo) have such tasty filling with well Mashed potato and a medley of various spices dancing in your mouth. After that an order of Chole Bhature... the Bhature was exquisitely leavened and cooked and fluffy. The chile was not too spicy and yet melted in my mouth with every bite. I must say the service was fantastic too. My server was from Punjab and had a charming smile and listened well to my 'customizations' To the regular orders, and delivered it well. Overall FANTASTIC experience.
