Ресторан ОМ НАМО Индийская кухня — Restaurant in Minsk

Disclaimer: was there around 2 years ago.

Coworker really wanted to share his passion for good vegan food and Indian Cousine in particular. I'm not a picky eater especially when somebody else pays the bill so happily agreed :D For some reason I thought it's going to be typical cafe with beans instead of meat but was pleasantly surprised. In one evening I got to try around ten unique dishes (at least for me) and many more unusual but pleasant combinations. When the owners heard from my coworker it's my first encounter with Indian cuisine they joined us, recommended some dishes and told us a lot about dishes and Indian culture.

TL/DR: Came for free food, stayed for sense of exploration, great company, unique and cozy atmosphere and great service overall. Stomach was desperate and tounge was mercilessly gluttonous :D Hope I'll get another chance to visit this...

Taste that you can never find in India. I can't imagine how it has such good rating. I was deceived by reading good reviews but trust me almost all the things have really bad taste. No Indian flavours at all. I can understand that in foreign country you need to adapt and make them taste little locally but this is in strict deviation from what India is known for. No aroma of different spices, no taste. Even salt was missing in most dishes (Not on table either, so had to ask). Me and my girlfriend ordered almost all items on menu to taste different food from different parts of India, but turns out only 2 dishes we liked. Samosa and coconut barfi. Rest all were pathetic. P.S Who serves pakoda without any chutney? And how can rose lassi taste like kefir available in packets in market (It will be an insult for authentic Indian chefs if this is called a good...

So this is the second time I have visited the cafe, the first one in 2019 and a few days ago! I’m from Goa and we love really spicy food and flavourful and my wife is from Minsk and we came with her parents and they liked it less spicy! We had both options! Even tho this cafe is vegetarian and I’m a big non veg guy.....I ate almost every dish on the menu! Prices are very reasonable, altho my wife said the administrator was not friendly with other people....to us she was very friendly and I’m leaving a review for me and I think they are friendly! Over all a great experience! Will definitely come back again!

I also met the owner in 2019 and he seemed very friendly and said Goans love food more spicy than what they serve- It’s true haha!

See you guys again! 5...
