" My family and I love visiting Namak! Each time we go, we are greeted like friends. The waitstaff always goes above and beyond to make sure our experience is enjoyable. The lamb shank has consistently been remarkable—so tender and flavorful—definitely a dish I'd recommend. We've also enjoyed their wine selection, which nicely complements their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Namak expecting a delightful culinary experience based on the reviews and I wasn't disappointed! The smoked eggplant dish was truly exceptional, showcasing their commitment to authentic recipes. While the service was friendly, it felt a bit slower during our visit. Nevertheless, the overall experience was memorable, and I plan on returning soon to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely meal at Namak! The staff was welcoming, and the environment felt upscale yet relaxed. While I enjoyed most dishes, my sister who ordered the vegetarian plate was a bit disappointed with the flavors. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this place for its atmosphere and other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible dining experience! The attention to detail with the menu and presentation shines through. The cocktails were phenomenal and complemented the food perfectly. I felt transported to another world, eating such authentic Mediterranean dishes. The only con? It can get a bit busy, so reservations are a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Namak! The variety of dips offered during the meal was delightful—we tried everything from the hummus to the eggplant caviar. I particularly enjoyed the lamb kebabs, which tasted freshly made with authentic spices. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with soft music and lovely decor. The only downside was the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price, but overall, a fantastic dining spot in DC! " (*Curated Review*)

" Namak has become my favorite spot in DC! The fresh ingredients and authentic flavors shine through in every bite. I highly recommend the pomegranate olive salad and their cocktails are equally impressive. The service is always attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for intimate dinners. I'll be back soon to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! The restaurant feels so welcoming, and every detail from the decor to the service was impressive.

Highly recommend stopping by for a meal. " (*Curated Review*)
