Namaskar Borivali East Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Mumbai

Namaskar welcomes you with a cave-like entrance, creating a rustic ambiance that contrasts sharply with its well-furnished interior featuring plush sofas and chairs. The initial experience, however, took a disappointing turn when the staff swapped our menu for another with inflated prices upon learning we had booked via Zomato.

Drinks:

Fresh Lime Soda – The lime was stale, making the drink unpleasant.

Virgin Pina Colada – Overly sweet but decent.

Solkadhi – Strong garlic-ginger flavor, good for digestion.

Fresh Lime Water – Again, the lime wasn’t fresh, diminishing the taste.

Soup:

Mutton Paya Soup – Served hot and flavorful, a perfect start.

Starters:

Prawns Tempura – Fresh and delicious, well-prepared.

Chicken Lollipop – Slightly burnt, affecting the taste.

Mutton Seekh Kebab – Soft, well-cooked, and flavorful.

Tandoori Chicken – Perfectly done and delicious.

Main Course:

Chicken Masala Boneless – Rich in flavor and well-cooked.

Laccha Paratha Butter – The layers were distinct, and the butter added a nice touch.

Overall Experience:

The food quality ranged from average to good, with some dishes standing out while others were underwhelming. The disappointment of stale lime in drinks and the menu-switching incident left a sour taste. The ambiance was inviting, and the service was prompt, but such pricing tactics can be off-putting. If the management improves transparency and drink quality, could be a more welcoming spot for diners. Namaskar has potential but needs to address these issues for a better...

We booked a table for four at this restaurant, expecting a decent meal — but it turned out to be a terrible experience. One of the soups served to us had a dead cockroach in it, which we initially mistook for a piece of garlic. It was only after a closer look that we realized what it truly was. This was absolutely revolting and completely unacceptable.

When we brought it to the staff’s attention, their response was dismissive and lacked any genuine concern or apology. Out of curiosity and concern, we briefly observed the kitchen area and were shocked to see how dirty and unhygienic it was — open trash bins, unclean counters, and no visible food safety practices being followed.

This incident has raised serious concerns about the restaurant’s cleanliness and food safety. We left immediately and will never return. Do not eat here if you value your health...

We had a reservation for a table of four, but our experience was extremely disappointing and concerning. The quality of the food was unacceptable — in fact, it was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. Shockingly, we found a dead cockroach in the soup, which we initially mistook for garlic. This is absolutely appalling and raises serious health and safety concerns.

Upon further observation, it was clear that the kitchen and food preparation areas were highly unhygienic. Such negligence is not only unprofessional but dangerous.

We strongly advise others to avoid this restaurant for their own safety and well-being. This level of disregard for cleanliness and customer health is...
