Salaam Namaste Bloomsbury is a contemporary Indian restaurant at 68 Millman Street, close to Russell Square. Chef patron Sabbir Karim brings together regional Indian and Pakistani traditions in an elegant but relaxed dining room suited to an intimate dinner, a business meal or a larger gathering.
Street food provides a lively introduction through aloo papri chaat, bhel puri with raw mango, samosa chaat and crisp chicken lollipops. Tamarind, yoghurt, chickpeas, puffed rice, fresh herbs and carefully balanced spice create contrasts of sweetness, tang, heat and texture across the opening plates.
The wider menu travels through the subcontinent with Mangalorean kori gassi, Dhaba gosht, slow cooked Punjabi dishes and Old Delhi biryani. Tandoori grills, seafood, vegetables, lentils, rice and bread give groups enough range to compare regional flavours rather than relying on familiar curry house staples alone.
Vegetarian choices are well represented, while wine, beer and cocktails provide flexible pairings for the varied spices. Daily lunch and dinner service, reservations, takeaway, delivery and catering make Salaam Namaste useful for local residents, Bloomsbury workers and visitors exploring nearby museums and historic streets.
Address: 68 Millman Street, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 3EF, United Kingdom
