Namak Mandi in Glasgow City

Excellent food , Special thanks to Jaffa for great hospitality

First class experience, come and try it out!

Our recent dinner experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag that left us with some significant concerns. First, securing parking near the restaurant proved to be quite a challenge, which was an inconvenient start to our evening. However, the atmosphere upon entering was fantastic, and we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, setting a positive tone. Unfortunately, the service quickly declined from there. Our server took our order without writing it down, which raised some initial doubts. When we requested to have our starters served before the main meal, our request was overlooked. The main courses were served in a disorganized manner, and we received two grilled dishes instead of the one we ordered. As we tried to clarify our remaining order, we were informed that the Manchurian dish was unavailable, despite the server initially confirming its availability when we placed our order. This lack of communication was frustrating, although the food we did receive was absolutely fantastic. When it came time to settle the bill, we were directed to the counter. To our surprise, the bill included two charges for the grilled dish. Upon inquiring, the staff member admitted it was a mistake but refused to adjust our bill accordingly. This behavior was not only unacceptable but also left a sour taste in our mouths. In conclusion, while the food quality was impressive, I advise future diners to be cautious. It’s essential to double-check your order and review the final payment details carefully. It seems there’s a troubling trend of being overcharged, and we experienced firsthand the lack of accountability in service.

Buffet was really good, staffs are welcoming. And the decoration is Just amazing . Nice place to dine out and quality time. I recommend

Me and my family of 5 others experience was absolutely wonderful. Our main waiter was Jaffa from Iran. His service was absolutely incredible and he gave us so many compliments. The food was absolutely world class and i let the owner k ow how good the food and service was. At that point, the tip was absolutely necessary. I recommend coming here and we will definitely be coming here again! :)

Jaffa is the best server. And great food. Thank you ☺️

Decided to go for lunch at Namak Mandi but find out they do buffet only. They only had few things. Only one star Today I tried their restaurant. Food was okay. The restaurant is beautiful, Three stars today April 2025

The food was incredible, and Jafa really looked after us! The value for money is fantastic.

Delicious food, very affordable, and Jaffa's service was absolutely wonderful!

Absolute Gem in Glasgow One of the best Asian & Halal restaurants to grace our City

We visited Namak Mandi with friends from London, and they were beyond impressed! Mohammad and Zaffa went above and beyond with their outstanding hospitality, making us feel like family, and the food was absolutely exceptional. Truly an unforgettable experience — highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing flavors and heartfelt service!

Great place, good service.Jamal deserves a raise 👏

We were served by Jamal. Such a helpful and thoughtful person. Went over and beyond to make us feel comfortable

It's an amazing experience food was awesome

Perfect taste perfect and disciplined staff perfect environment

Would recommend to anyone looking for fine dining experience in Glasgow

Great experience Delicious food very great service also We went to Glasgow from leeds and found this place for food. It was good.

It was really good experience and amazing experience. Very happy with food and service

Lovely service, very friendly servers

The food was very delicious and quality food but it was a bit expensive as compared to others.

Great services and great food Especially thanks to Jamal

Everything was on point and one of the staff member named Jamal was really friendly and provided a great service.

Good food Good Service Mr Jamal was very kind and professional. Chapli Kabab is must try if you visit.

Had a great experience as a first time guest at Namak Mandi. The staff was super kind and friendly and gave us good suggestions about food. Jamal served us and made sure we feel like we are Actually in Namak Mandi Back Home (Pakistan). Chapli kabab was 10/10. Lamb charsi karhai was 9/10 and the Kehva (green tea) was the cherry on the top. Highly recommend ☺️

The food was amazing and we had a wonderful time

Amazing food , excellent ambiance and superb hospitality Specially Jamal who served the food , the way treated us and made our day special

Excellent food and superb service and hospitality from Jamal.

Discovered this place as we are staying close by for a game at Hampden tomorrow. What a find! The food was lovely and the menu was explained to us very well. 2 of us had lamb and it melted away, beautiful. We were all happy with our food choices and it was nice to try something different from normal Indian and Pakistani food. The icing on the cake was the service, absolute first class from beginning to end.

Amazing experience, very good quality food and even better service. And staff is incredible, special thanks to Mr. Jamal and Mr. Jameel.

Awesome people. Jamal & Jafar are great. Served us really good and food was awesome too. Worth visiting

Very sweet staff, delightful food👍👍

We had such such a lovely meal, it was simply outstanding quality and superb service, thanks to the wonderful Jaffa!

What an amazing dining experience! The food here is as authentic as it gets. The Chicken Tikka was smoky and delicious, and the Charsi Karahi had the perfect balance of spices. The Qabli Pulao stole the show, though—fragrant, savory, and filling. On top of the incredible food, the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. This is definitely my new favorite spot!”*

Good food, good people. Jaffar was amazing

Wonderful service, great food. A must visit place.

jaefe was our waitor for the night and the food and the service was absolutely perfect

The best Nihari iv had yet! Generous portion size.. the Kobideh kebabs and chicken Kadhai were no less. Posh ambience and exceptional service. Found a great place in Glasgow, outside LEZ!

Overcharging ! £30 per head for buffet . Definitely not worth the price . No mention of the price beforehand anywhere .

A delicious and fabulous wedding celebration, with first class service! Thank you!

Ma sha Allah very nice & highly professional staff. Lovely food as well. Special thanks to brother Jaffar in Namak Mandi.

The absolute BEST curry in Glasgow! Authentic and huge portions, tasty, home cooked (for hours it seems for best flavour). We loved it all and will be back.

Wonderful food and service. Jaffa was one of the best servers we have ever had. He was a real pleasure and made my brothers wedding dinner extra special. Namak Mandi are very lucky to have a waiter/server like Jaffa. Thank you!

Very nice food and even better service!

Unbelievable service, made to feel so welcome, the food was perfect, the quality and amount of food for the price was exceptional! Will 100% be back with family and friends.

Served by the waiter Jaffa, He made it the best restaurant experience we have ever had so unbelievably friendly and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend to everyone!

Worst experience. I recommend no one here for buffet. Food have no taste

There wasn't much food around but looked very fancy, most food wasn't hot, hot desserts weren't hot and were cold and it was £30 per person but on maps it says £10-20 per person, do not recommend it

Came here on Eid, Jaffar made sure we were taken care of. Food was amazing. Will definitely come here again and recommend anyone to dine here.

Delicious food highly recommended good service thank you Nitish for your excellent service

Worst food Arrogant staff Waste of money

Very nice place. The food was really good. Everything was so tasty. Amazing place to celebrate with family and friends a Pakistani wedding.

The food was fantastic. Every dish was flavourful and cooked to perfection. The staff were so friendly, professional and just amazing service. Such a lovely venue and wonderful atmosphere . A very wonderful experience which we will remember for ever

Eid buffet was great as was service

Great food and buffet choices, great hospitality with such great manners and making you feel very welcome. When it came to paying, was advised only cash, I didn’t have cash and was told card machine isn’t working, was advised to go round the corner and take cash out, it was raining so I refused and very reluctantly they agreed for bank transfer into a personal account, not a business account, explains Why the card machine wasn’t working, this experience at the end, I’m not sure if I’ll visit again

There was barely refill and we were downstairs . In menu they said there will be kabuli biriyani but there wasn’t any kabuli biriyani and when I went to chicken biriyani there was barely left and even after waiting sometime it was not refilled.

Amazing staff and service but food could be of different taste on your every other visit 😬

Excellent experience for our first visit…. Lovely food and made to feel exceptionally welcome. We will be back on our next visit to Scotland. Thank you.

Place is amazing, food is very good and the service is outstanding! Especially the Iranian waiter what excellent service!!

Its very hospitable, great and authentic food.

First thing first. Food was alright but it’s definitely not a buffet restaurant. If you’re considering yourself a Iftar dinner you need to prepare yourself for a long queue and you cannot take your food by yourself. You need to wait for the waiter who gonna serve you for food of your choice. Nobody taking care of your empties, you need to ask someone to clear out your table. And for water or any sort of drink you need ask them for couple of times for your drink to be served on table. I was quite unhappy with that bad service from them. I wasn’t expecting this.

Very bad experience with food service and the environment.I think this is not the restaurant you to feed your family.This is for animals.I don't think the animal goning eat the food from this point. i'm not recommending the to anyone.

Ramadan buffet was excellent. 2nd year running that we've been and the food served and the service was top class.

Great food and wonderful service, especially by Jaffa. The atmosphere was excellent! Will be coming back again :)

1. Buffet does not offer the number of items advertised in menu 2. Very profit orientated- long queue which can take up to 30 mins that you don't feel like going again. Ruins the buffet experience 3. Less chicken and meat inside the buffet dishes 4. Number of items can be different if you're sitting upstairs vs downstairs . Lesser options downstairs and no ambience but same pricing for both

Delicious food and great service 😁👍💐💐

Food 09/10 Staff Behaviour = 10/10 Ambiance = 09/10 Excellent food quality, have done Aftari there! Recommended!

Had iftar there in ramzan 2025. The management of iftar was good, the way it was served. They followed the 'ladies first' kind gesture. The staff is hospitable, smiling and kind. There were many tasty items. Though in pakorras the chili was a little more for me. So those who cant eat spicy just be careful. :)...however it all depends on personal preferences. I really recommend it for good food and nice family evening 👌

Oh my gosh is namak Mandi so good the buffet is amazing the service is world class also obviously halal the have a prayer room as well the rice is so delicious the kebab is amazing but it is spicy the staff are nice and welcoming the dessert is amazing also good prices definitely the best buffet in maybe all of Scotland the kebab is probably the best food they have and the restaurant is nice and clean in the inside it looks like a fantastic rich palace. The pilau and nihari are fantastic would really recommend

I visited today and was very disappointed with my experience. The food quality was not good, and the buffet section was quite small. There was a very long queue; I stood in line at 6:25 PM and finally reached the buffet section at 7:10 PM, which means I spent 45 minutes waiting. When I finally got there, the food was cold and excessively oily. Many items were also unavailable, such as the nihari, which had no mutton, the lamb karahi without lamb and the mutton pulao without mutton. Additionally, the bread was finished, and I was waiting for water, but no one attended to me. Overall, the service was very poor, and I do not recommend wasting your money here.

I been there with my friend on 18th ramadan .. food and service totally third class been waiting for water 15mint … nan-bread been served in the hadpat … it’s totally waste off money don’t go there … world buffet far better then them…

Service was very good. Jaffa was very kind to us and offered brilliant service.

Food was amazing and Jaffa was the best !!!

Very nice staffs, friendly environment, great foods

I would say that the people make a hipe about this resturant as per my experience the ice-cream and the refreshments which is yellow in colour that was stinging and when I noticed and told them about that so they changed it gave me the different ice-cream which was not in there menu on that which is 17th march 2025 monday…

Best food! Amazing quality. Leave some space for the tea!

I travelled from Edinburgh on Sunday (3 people) for the Ramadan buffet. We booked on the way and were told that the main hall was full so we would be seated downstairs. On arrival we were greeted by the gentleman in this video. We were told that we would be provided with the exact same menu items that were available in the main hall. Unfortunately we discovered this was not true as we visited the main hall after our meal and there was no comparison with the variety of items available to us downstairs, yet we were charged the same price. On complaining we were told the same untruth that the items were the same, they had no response when I told them I had been upstairs and seen the dishes there. Very unprofessional and tantamount to ripping people off just to make a few extra pounds; extremely disappointing. I can't review the buffet as we weren't provided with the full complement of dishes. The limited items we received I would class as good, not outstanding. If you're going make sure you're seated in the main hall otherwise walk away, as you'll received a 2nd class buffet but charged full price. Thank you for your response and apology. However fixing it so it doesn't happen again to others, doesn't compensate us for our experience. A responsible business would offer a free buffet for the customers who were mislead or at the very least a reduced price for a repeat visit.

Viajé desde Edimburgo el domingo pasado (3 personas) para el buffet Ramadán. Reservamos en el camino y nos dijeron que la sala principal estaba llena, así que estaríamos sentados abajo. A la llegada nos recibió un camarero. Nos dijeron que nos proporcionarían exactamente los mismos elementos del menú que estaban disponibles en la sala principal. Desafortunadamente descubrimos que esto no era cierto, ya que visitamos el salón principal después de nuestra comida y no había comparación con la variedad de artículos disponibles para nosotros en la planta baja, sin embargo, nos cobraron el mismo precio. Al quejarnos nos dijeron la misma falsedad que los artículos eran los mismos, no tuvieron respuesta cuando les dije que había estado arriba y visto los platos allí. Muy poco profesional y equivale a estafar a la gente solo para ganar unos kilos de más; extremadamente decepcionante. Incapaz de dar una crítica adecuada del buffet, ya que no nos dieron la misma comida que los comensales de arriba. El número limitado de platos y entrantes que se proporcionaron lo clasificaría como bueno, no excepcional. Así que si vas a tomar el buffet asegúrate de estar sentado arriba en el hall principal, de lo contrario te sentarán abajo y te cobrarán el mismo precio por una mala selección de artículos.

Great value, So many items on the ifter buffet, don’t miss out the paya.

Best Buffet I have ever tasted.. Worth for the money and great taste with variety of food options.. Thanks Jaffer for the wonderful service !

Fantastic food. Amazing service. Big shout out to Jaffa for making our evening great.

Great buffet food, really good service and helpful staff, good atmosphere too. Definitely worth a visit

The food looked like leftovers from the previous day The salad was also stale. The chicken grill was cold like the salad. All the chutneys were tasteless and very salty. The meat inside the rice was very tough. It seemed like it was from sheep. It smelled very raw. The meat in the nahari was less and only had broth. It took half an hour to get it from the buffet. Going to the salt market is just a waste of money. Mango lassi and red syrup are old style. I'm not recommending this restaurant food was cold and meat was very hard and be careful thy will over charge you with out your knowledge

Wow, what a restaurant. Up here from Sheffield for Fish at the O2 at chanced upon the Namak Mandi. So glad we did, even though it was sunset on Ramadan we were made to feel welcome. Friendly staff, gorgeous food and great atmosphere. Thank you

Great atmosphere, food and great staff!

One of the best iftar Buffet I have been in UK, well organised. Although there was a line thats acceptable as everyone gets there at end of time. But it was still very well managed. Taste is really good. Although you cannot eat everything, but whatever I tried was excellent, they give compementry mango lassi and and kashmiri tea at end. A must try if you are in Glasgow. And book it before you go. Its busy. Parking outside is on street, but there are paid parking lots as well.

Food was just okay . Nothing special . Rice were cold . They didn’t prepare karahi freshly

Créeme Este lugar es increíble❤️ vamos allí Casi todos los meses 2 veces. La calidad y el sabor de la comida es increíble Nunca antes lo habíamos hecho en Escocia 🏴-(4-���-(4-���-(4-���-(4-���-(4-���-(4-��� Namak mandi es siempre el mejor restaurante asiático de Escocia El servicio es rápido ❤️ El personal es muy educado y humilde como la familia ❤️ Su buffet Ramdan es alucinante ❤️ Sugiero a todos que por favor prueben su comida y pasen su tiempo de calidad.

We had a great time at Namak Mandi! The food and service was amazing!

Mejor restaurante para ambiente de comida y servicio al cliente de primera clase, especialmente los propietarios toque personal para cuidar de sus clientes

Had Iftaar Buffet just yesterday, and wow, what an awesome treat! They had a lot more variety than last time, which we absolutely loved! All the Iftaar special snacks were freshly made, and really delicious! Dahi bhallay were the yummiest I had in a while. Cream fruit chaat was amazing! The main dishes were also fantastic! Loved the variety and deliciousness! They also served Rooh Afza, Mango Lassi along with Pink Tea and Ice Cream at the end! 10/10 for this superb service! Would definitely be going again one more time this Ramadan!

Very very expensive 😕 Food quantity also very less. Due to change of its location, everything is 3 time much expensive.

The food was delicious, with each dish full of flavour. What really stood out was the service from Mr. Jaffa, who was incredibly humble, kind, and lively. His warm personality made us feel welcome and truly enhanced our meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I can't wait to go back!

Amazing food and the place has the best hospitality. Jaffa tha man❤️

The dishes are wonderful… The restaurant fills our stomach, But JAFFA fills our heart. ❤️ This place has added its own enigma with JAFFA.

MR JAFFA FALLAHI is the best man, he is so kind and humble. His words are enough to impress anyone. Such a pure soul. Was really generous.

This beautiful soul name Jaffa made our evening he’s really great !!

Best experience in Glasgow, The food is unbelievable, the service is amazing, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic. Enjoyed the Iftar buffet with family.

Very nice environment 👌 and so much super nice service 👍 very satisfying with delicious food

Tasty food Jaffar was a fantastic server!
