Great taste of flavors. Tried few items like biriyani and few other items. All were really good. Google Maps still shows the old restaurant in street view of the BBQ restaurant that was there before. 100% Halal. Accent inside the restaurant not that good and needs a little reno.

From the moment the food came out, I knew it was going to be good. The Chicken Karahi was perfectly cooked, tender, flavourful, and had the right amount of spice that made every bite so good. The Bun Kebab was amazing as well, super tasty and honestly one of the best I’ve had. The biryani was also so tasty and exquisite, I enjoyed it so much, we finished the whole platter.
In addition, the service was amazing. Umair welcomed us and was friendly, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. He is very attentive towards customers and makes sure that their needs are met at the highest standard. The ambience of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy such delicious food. Overall, a fantastic experience. I Highly recommend this place to everyone! excellent

Delicious weekend iftar buffet! Everything was absolutely delicious and the price was very affordable as well. Our favourites were the karahi, biryani, fish pakora, and samosas.
Highly recommend calling in to book a reservation in advance, as it gets busy, especially since this is the only place offering a halal iftar buffet in Hamilton.

I was super excited to learn that a new eatery is in the neighborhood, but unfortunately when I visited the online menu, I saw the photographs not corresponding with the menu items. Need to customise the menu at the very initial stages.

Ordered 2 platters for 12 people.
Everyone liked the chicken karahi, beef kebab,chicken kebab, reshaping kebab, white tikka botti, rice, fries, and 3 different sauces.
Service has improved as management took the previous reviews seriously.
Lastly Kheer was great and Chai always comes with sugar.

Today, we visited Namak & Masala Restaurant for their Iftar buffet, and everything was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish had an authentic taste, and the variety was excellent. What made our experience even more special was the incredible service by the owner, Umair Bhai. He was extremely welcoming, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. His hospitality truly reflects his passion and dedication. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service. We will definitely visit again!

I usually don’t prefer iftar buffets, however the food here was outstanding and way beyond my expectations. I will go here again for sure. They had a variety of iftar dishes which indeed was great for the price. My personal favorite was samoosas, pakoray and lahori fish.
The chaat needs some improvement but overall food was great! It’s 25 for adults and 20 for kids.
The manager, Umair was very kind and let our little kids play with the whiteboard.
The highlight of the iftar was also the chai which was TOO good along with some Gulab jamuns and kheer.

Went there on Sunday and tried the biryani, BBQ,karahi and aalo naan and i am so happy a good Pakistani restaurant has opened in hamilton with good prices. I could tell it was family owned with how welcoming it was. Well kept and clean as well. The aalo naan was specially delicious and unique. Will be back

The bun kebab was good, but the biryani didn’t taste like biryani and the parathas were just okay too!
