I've eaten in and ordered takeaways a few times, the restaurant is conveniently close. I've had food which was obviously heated from frozen. The restaurant is invariably empty. Food does not taste freshly made. Won't go back.

We ordered the "Dry Mutton curry". Not on the menu but heard of it from a friend who is a regular. It was sublime - ask owner to make it. He is very obliging. Now a firm favourite. The other dishes were very good as...well. Very tasty and good balance of the spicesMore
We often order takeaways from Namak in Parktown North and they’re always delicious, but whenever I go and fetch them the restaurant itself seems sadly empty and the only people around are the waiters, the delivery bike riders collecting takeaways and me. But we had...dinner with friends there on a Monday last week and although we were the only guests when we arrived, pretty soon the place was packed with diners which was great to see, especially on a Monday. We ordered a range of curries and Indian snacks and they were all delicious: pepper gobi (amazing cauliflower dish), pani puri (a yummy Indian street snack), chicken tikka jalfrezi, chicken madras, tad kadhai (a vegetarian option), chicken boona masala, palak chicken and lamb rogan josh. Well worth a visit.More
I know the economy is biting a bit and portions may be getting a little smaller, but the flavours and fragrances of this fantastic Indian restaurant keep us coming back for more. In the balmy summer evenings it’s lovely to sit on the deck and...enjoy your email – but it’s equally good to grab your order as takeaways and scuttle home to snuggle in saag-scented comfort.More
Wonderful food. Wonderful service . Our second visit and still impressed. Will definitely be back. The vindaloo and the oxtail curry are awesome and must try the deep fried cauliflower starter.
Had cravings for Indian food, came to this restaurant... Warm welcome by the staff... Delicious food... Great service...
Whether you visit for a sit-down dinner or you pop in for takeaways, you can’t go wrong with Namak in Craighall Park. Being winter and chilly, we opted for a takeaway selection of tasty starters and a chicken korma to share. Simply delicious, as always...and good value for money.More
We stopped in mid Sunday afternoon , the Restuarant was very quiet . The service was top class with the knowledgeable watron giving great advice on choices . The portions were generous and the food was fantastic .
From our experiences you simply can’t go wrong if you’re looking for a wide variety of delicious Indian dishes than to go to Namak in Craighall Park. The staff are very attentive and the food always amazing. This time we shared some starters: chicken malai...tikka (juicy chicken portions marinated in cream and cooked in the tandoor), chicken harilayi kebab (succulent chicken imbued in yoghurt, mint and coriander), pepper ghobi (battered cauliflower deep-fried and spiced with pepper), hara bhara kebab (spinach, potato and pea patties) and a butter naan bread as takeaways. Yum!More
Very friendly staff, knowledgeable waitress who took my order, and quick service on my takeaway. I ordered lamb rogan josh, it was well cooked but needed lots more flavour. The nan bread was very nice though. Good value for money I thought.
This is one on Joburg's better Indian restaurants and as a bonus is situated right next to Giles pub. So have a few beers to build an appetite at Giles and then pop next door for an excellent curry. The food is authentic North Indian...cuisine and they offer take aways as well. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and the wine list is sure to have something that would appeal. A favourite of locals and well worth the effort of getting there.More
It's a wonderful Indian restaurant to have curry the service is great and the manager even speaks a bit of Spanish. LOVED IT
Lovely spot to get a decent Indian meal. The staff are quite friendly and the service is good. While I have had better food at other restaurants like Ghazal, the portion sizes here are bigger.
What a stunning curry dinner...For all you curry lovers...what a gem, delicious food, great ambiance and decor...superbly priced too! Management very professional and client focussed😊😊😊
According to Wikipedia, the work “namak” is Persian, Urdu and Hindi for common salt, but there is nothing common about the food at the new Namak Indian restaurant next door to Giles in Parktown North. We took my father-in-law there recently to celebrate his birthday...and enjoyed a great evening and a superb meal. For starters we shared a plate of Pepper Ghobi (delicious pieces of spicy cauliflower) and Vegetable Pakodas. For mains some of us chose the non-veg starter platter which is supposed to be for two people but makes a substantial meal for one, with two pieces each of Chicken Tikka, Kingklip Tikka, Shish Lebab and spiced prawns. We also enjoyed the Lamb Badami (a sublime mix of lamb pieces in an almond paste gravy) the Lamb Vindaloo which was packed with flavour and not too hot, the Chicken Kadhai and the Chicken Korma. All delicious.More
