Delhi is the capital city of India and is the heart of the nation. The city is popular for its enriched culture, heritage and colossal melting pot of phenomenal Indian cuisine. So, fasten your seat belts & get your car horns ready as we take you on a journey to Delhi's street food. Namaste Delhi brings an innovative perception of Indian food to Aberdeen.
With its wide range of tapas, it aims to bring authentic Indian food from the streets of Delhi to Aberdeen. Traditionally cooked, the food stands out as authentic as average people would cook at home or on the busy streets of the chaotically organised Indian cities.

His ambition and skills led Rajan to make a career out of this passion.
While the use of this spice dates back 4000 years to the Vedic culture in India, we do know that the Vedic people used Turmeric and products derived from it as far as 4000 years back and slowly spread through other regions with Marco Polo describing Turmeric's properties as very similar to those of Saffron.
In this article we dive into another essential spice of Indian food: cardamom, a member of the ginger family. Origins: Cardamom is often referred to as The Queen of Spices, and it is used extensively in Indian cuisine but it has also been adopted worldwide mostly in Scandinavian dishes. It originated in India but is available worldwide today and used in both sweet and savoury recipes.
Both iconic dishes of the Indian subcontinent, Dal Tadka and Dal Makhani are considered humble ambassadors of Indian cuisine. They are both smooth, spicy, simple and considered Indian staple food. But what is the difference? Let's explore the origins of these two symbols of north-Indian cuisine. Dal Tadka is made with yellow lentils (usually moong dal but you can also use toor or masoor).

We very much enjoyed the combination of tapas, cocktails and Indian food.
Food was well priced, portions ideal and, after 4 or 5 dishes, some rice ans a naan, washed down with some tasty cocktails, we were very happy indeed.
We would highly recommend this restaurant as an alternative to the traditional Indian restaurant where the portions are massive and you go for the one dish. Here you can dabble with a "risky" choice without being left with nothing to eat Haha.
Edit: visited again last night (28/12/21) and still wonderful.

I was staying locally with a colleague and we both fancied a curry. Thankfully, Namaste Delhi was a short walk away. Getting a high Google and TripAdvisor rating we decided to give it a go. This was a BRILLIANT decision.
It was raining outside but the welcome was very warm.
The menu is slightly different from a ‘normal, British’ menu, as such I asked the waiter to modify one of the dishes, he recommended not adding more heat to a cream based dish and then the breakdown of the reasons. It was excellent to have someone who really knew their stuff. The main dish he recommended was superb with

Visited here today and was greeted very politely by Tom (manager). He explained their dishes and portions as it was our first time there. We didn't expect the food to be that tasty before visiting however, it was delicious. I'd happily visit again and certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone!!! Thanks Tom for looking after us and was lovely chatting with you. All the best pal..

Been here for the first time yesterday. I have to say that the interior design is quite nice and so is the atmosphere. The waiter is also happy to help out if you have a question or want a recommendation.
The food is furthermore, very good.
However there are also small negatives.
The portions are quite small. I can get a larger portion for almost the same price in e.g Monsoona.
In addition to that they have no raita sauce if you want it and don't give out the warm hand tissues that you are used to get at the end as well as the mint chocolates that you are used to from Indian Restaurants.
