Inside Vile Parle's Hotel Sahara Star: Know about Namak, a luxurious Indian restaurant

Sahara Star’s Indian speciality restaurant Namak, Zaike-Ka-Safar, is an ode to the timeless and traditional culinary art of Indian heritage. Offering delectable classics that win every desi's heart, the spice route here is hotter than ever!

This fine-dining Vile Parle restaurant offers regional variations and fresh takes on traditional recipes, from Lucknow and Hyderabad, and we had to check it out! So read on to know about Namak's menu, pricing and more.

As we delved into the rich tapestry of Namak’s cuisine, we found age-old recipes are lovingly preserved and classic dishes entail contemporary twists. Speaking of the ambience, Namak oozes luxury through its relaxed seating, and warm hospitality and we've got to mention the swanky cutlery too!

Namak showcases a diverse range of creative dishes, drawing on influences from Awadhi and Hyderabadi flavours. Here, the Mushroom Galauti (₹1250) and Peeli Mirch Aur Nimbu Wale Jhinga (₹2400) are highly recommended. Further, this Vile Parle gem also has a finely curated buffet menu, featuring unlimited appetisers, main course and desserts; ₹3250 for vegetarians and ₹3750 for non-vegetarians.

We get it - Namak can be quite heavy on the pockets. However, Namak's Safarnama Lunch, a 4-course set menu for ₹1399, is quite a show stopper. With Paneer Aam Papad Roll, Bhatti ka Murgh, Pindi Chole, Kozhi Varutha Curry, Angoori Gulab Jamun and Cranberry Mojito, this one left us with a full stomach and satisfied smiles. Do note, Namak will also be starting a Progressive Modern Indian menu, closer to Diwali - so this would be your cue to pay this Vile Parle restaurant a visit.

Named after a global taste agent, Namak, located inside Mumbai's famous Hotel Sahara Star, marries tradition with daring modernity. Upon arrival, you step into a refined space adorned with meticulously designed furniture, enhanced further by a stunning outside view evoking a sense of luxury and elegance. Overall, Namak promises to be a haven for culinary experts. Follow Namak’s Instagram handle for more updates.
