Namak Mandi in Glasgow City

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

Eid buffet was great as was service

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

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

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.

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 😬

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 :)

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

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 👌

Delicious food and great service 😁👍💐💐

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

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…

Very nice staffs, friendly environment, great foods

Food was amazing and Jaffa was the best !!!

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

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

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…

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Great atmosphere, food and great staff!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

If you go there just after their buffet time you might end up getting served with left overs. Unfortunately that happened to us. New look is so nice but the food standards need to be back on track too.

Such tasty food, Jaffaar was very Lovley

Tasty food Jaffar was a fantastic server!

The lunch buffet is great and really affordable. Great variety of food. Highly recommended.

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

Very nice experience. Food was really good especially lamb kabab.

Mr. Mohamed received us very nicely about food and detailed about the food was good And food is tasty and Yummy💕😋

Very good service, very good food

My experience at Nanak Mandi has been amazing. Ordered the famous chicken mandi and boy did it tantalise my tastebuds. My partner got the lamb Karahi with rogni nan. Just know thanks to a happy stomach, I got lucky that night. The service was great; Welcomed, seated, thirst quenched, belly’s full. (Even got a cup of tea after) Thanks so much guys and girl.

Lovely experience, wonderful time, food is lovely

Amazing night Food was very delicious Jaffaa was so amazing and so welcoming I liked this evening

Very lovely, accommodating staff, They go beyond to serve delicious dinner.. Ambient vibe, delicious food

It’s first time I was trying the food here by my friend suggestion. The first thing the ambiance was tooo good and mesmerising. The Mohammed the manager of the place he take cares really good like family member. Every 2 minutes he comes to us and ask you need anything was a nice gesture. The food it was too good. We tried chicken Biriyani and mixed grill. The both was too good

My experience was awesome the owner is humble scrumptious food , spot on service highly recommend it !

The service, the view of the restaurant was very amazing and food was also very delicious&testy 😋 . Thanks you MANDI RESTAURANT for your amazing hospitality, special Mohamed and jacvar.

We decided to try Namak Mandi as we tried other restaurants before. The staff did not even write order. May be he has good brain, no problem. When order came in, no fork or spoon provided We started waiting incase it's coming but then we have to ask. We have to return Lamb chomps as these were uneatable, like rubber and very smelly. Then we start eating whatever left on table and they never serverd our drinks again. After half food eaten we have to go to their kitchen and Complain again to get drinks. Horrible service, not good food. WE WILL NOT RECOMMEND IT.

One of the best places I have ever been to. Very polite staff from the reception to the waiters and the owner as well. You feel very welcomed. The food is amazing and the quantity as seen in the photo is huge! It won't be my last time eating there and I'll definitely have this place on my list whenever I visit Glasgow again.

Manager Mr Anas is impressive. The environment is decent. Staff faces are smiley ♥️♥️♥️

Brilliant place! Jaffa and his colleague was exceptional with their service. The place is beautiful large space which is very clean. Food is absolutely delicious! Tikka was cooked exceptionally well. Channa and palak were mouthwatering! The karahi ( curry) is very tasty. Please give it a try; you’ll not regret it; I’m going to be back for the third time soon!

Amazing food and service. The food was fresh and tender. 💯 recommend to all.

The stuff, food , ambious are very good would love to come again .. specially thx to Jamal Bhai ..he was so kind and helpful.. ❤️

Brilliant food in a spacious, grand-looking atmosphere (even though we just went in casual clothes). Service is top notch and we got a very attentive waiter who was also very funny and kind. Would recommend the chicken kebabs, plus the naans are massive! Great price for the portions and quality.

Best food and service by staff especially Jaffar, Jamal & Osama.

Staff is vary hospitable and specially Jamal and jafar gives special hospitable and amazing staff

Tried the lunch buffet, fairly reasonable selection. Good atmosphere. Pleasant staff.

well it's been my fav restaurant for over 5 years but that's it now all because i think they were not able to sort out there tandoor so yesterday i have spent of £50 for 2 small portions through uber eats and my chapli kabab was un cooked also the rogni nan was enough to kill you uncooked melting wheat atta we spend our hard earn money to enjoy food and when things like that happened totally spoils it anyway i tried calling them twice no answer.

Lovely food and great service from Jaffa! Will definitely be back
