To dine on the splendid Indian food created by Head Chef Sabbir Karim is a true pleasure. He owns and runs the Namaaste Kitchen in London's Camden area - a superb place to visit for both out of towners and born and bred Londoners. The critical acclaim won by Namaaste Kitchen has given it as much legendary status as all the Camden landmarks, establishing it as one of the top Indian restaurants in all of London. Chef Karim has won Best Chef of the Year 2012, and Best Innovative Chef of the Year 2013, while the menu is recognised by many notable critics and organisations, including Best Curry Awards. The food enjoys such acclaim, Namaaste Kitchen has begun offering wedding, event and outdoor catering, to please their devoted customers.
The restaurant is spacious, sleek and contemporary, with seating for up to 90 guests. Despite its size, it feels comfortable and inviting, thanks to exposed brick walls, soft cream leather seating and carved wood pillars. The bar is set up in front of an intriguing 'wall of light', while the open kitchen allows the guests a glimpse into the theatre of culinary arts, where Chef Karim and his team make sure every dish is perfect before it arrives at the table.
Using three traditional cooking methods of India and Pakistan - tandoor, sigri and tawa - Chef Kamir and his team create scrumptious grilled dishes that are Namaaste Kitchen's speciality. The grilled section on the menu is therefore highly recommended and includes everything from lamb and chicken to prawn and fish, plus vegetarian options.
No doubt about it - the perfect combination of classy ambiance, caring service and splendid food makes the Namaaste Kitchen a must-visit place in Camden.
