If the glorious aroma of sizzling meat and spices drawing you into Namak Mandi London isn’t enough of a guide, let this be your definitive menu. Specialising in the robust, charcoal grilled flavours of Pashtun cuisine, the restaurant is a haven for meat lovers. Here are the seven essential dishes that define the Namak Mandi experience.
Peshawari Chapli Kebab
The undisputed king of the menu. These are not ordinary kebabs. Each patty is a fragrant, finely minced blend of beef or lamb, packed with pomegranate seeds, fresh coriander, and a secret mix of spices, then fried to a juicy, crispy edged perfection. At £8.99 for a substantial portion, it’s an authentic taste of Peshawar’s most famous street food.
Lamb Chops
A masterpiece of simplicity and technique. Succulent, meaty lamb chops are marinated in yogurt and mild spices, then expertly grilled over charcoal until tender on the inside and beautifully charred on the outside. Order by weight to share (from £16.49 for ¼kg)—the larger portions (£43.99 for 1kg) are a celebratory feast.
Lamb Tikka
Cubes of premium lamb shoulder are steeped in a traditional, tangy marinade before meeting the fiery grill. The result is impossibly tender, smoky, and flavourful morsels that practically melt in your mouth. A must try for anyone seeking authentic tikka (£14.99 for ¼kg).
Chicken Tikka
A classic executed to perfection. Juicy boneless chicken pieces, marinated in yogurt, lemon, and red spices, acquire a distinctive smoky depth and a vibrant red hue from the charcoal fire. It’s a crowd pleaser and a fantastic starting point for any meal (£9.99 for ¼kg).
Mixed Grill
Can’t decide? The Mixed Grill is your answer. This glorious platter is the ultimate showcase, offering a generous sampling of the restaurant’s grilled specialties—likely featuring chapli kebab, lamb chops, tikkas, and more. The Large (£36.99) is perfect for a group looking to explore the full spectrum of flavours.
Chicken Malai Boti
For those who prefer a milder, creamier delight. Tender chicken is marinated in a rich blend of cream, cheese, and mild spices, resulting in kebabs that are exceptionally moist, subtly sweet, and delicately flavoured. It’s a luxurious contrast to the more fiery options (£9.99 for ¼kg).
The Chapli Kebab Family Feast
For the true enthusiast, the special Peshawari Chapli Kebab Offer (£28.99) is a dedicated feast. This platter delivers a generous heap of their signature kebabs, allowing you to indulge fully in this iconic dish, complete with fresh naan and chutneys.
