BEWARE!I went for a night out at Namaste Lounge recently. I did the sensible thing and left my car in the car park overnight. When I returned the next day my car had been towed away and I was forced to pay £450.00 to get it back. This car parking scam is run by a criminal with 1 eye!DANGER!

We made a reservation for 10. On arrival, we had enough table space for 6 people with 10 chairs around it. We queried this with the management who was plain rude, unwilling to accommodate us, even though we were with our 80 year old grandmother, he resonded by leaving us with an option to either 'accept it or go somewhere else'. We decided to go somewhere else.

Lets be honest, the food is great, right balance of spice and fresh ingredients! The shisha area has a great service and good product.

The venue is a tad dated, but is acceptable for a local haunt after work.

But the real issue is the management! On numerous visits the female manager has absolutely no manners, always has a grim look on her face and fails to consider the regulars feedback.

I would love for this place to get a face lift and have more friendly management! Sort it out and you will get more customers, popularity and positive feedback!

After hearing about a relaunch of the Shisha Lounge they have at the back i decided to make a trip down there with a group of friends for food, drinks and Shisha. The food took a while to come but other than that it was good.

The Shisha was great there. We decided to have one of their Special Ice Shishas which had a carved pineapple fruit as the head where they put the tobacco in. It was great! I would highly recommend this if you were to go there. There was a bellydancer on the night which created a great atmosphere. Overall I was very impressed and will definitely be returning.

What can I say about this night. We went to Namaste Lounge assuming it would be a good place to relax, smoke some good shisha with some food and drinks and be comfortable and have good conversation. When we got there as we tried to walk through the main door as we had booked a space for shisha at the back we were man-handled by the bouncers who then asked us for id. Once we explained to them that we had booked out an area for shisha at the back he allowed us to walk round and his explanation was that it was over 18s only (even though most of us presented id). This however was not the case, when I got in to the bar as I was one of the people who brought id I could see children with their families and many other customers that could not possibly have been 18. We then ordered our shisha. The Guy in charge of the shisha was really nice and allowed us to take our time ordering, however the shisha was some of the worst pots I had ever had. They all tasted nothing like the flavours we ordered (grape+mint, Orange+mint and Double Apple), the pots looked very old and the hoses used were not common for public shisha places (therefore they could not hold the mouth protectors and was harder to draw the smoke). To eat I ordered a mixed kebab platter for £15. We were going to share it between 3 people but when it arrived it only seemed to be 1 portion. The Chicken was also not fully cooked. The waiter who took our order seemed to not really know what she was doing. We told her 3 of us were sharing yet she only brought 1 plate. When We asked for more plates she arrived 1/2 an hour later with the plates by which time we had finished eating. As we were hungry we ordered food once again and this time I split a butter chicken (£6) and a butter naan each (£1.50). There was about 6 small pieces of chicken in the dish. The chicken was also undercooked and later that night and the following morning we were both feeling ill. To summarize not a very good place with no atmosphere and

Booked a table and when we got there told we had to be in and out in just over an hour. The lady in charge is very grumpy and unwelcoming. Did not stay and will never try again. Went instead to Sahibs just down the road which is hidden and fantastic.

We booked specific table weeks ahead,however the table was given to somebody else.

The waitress was very rude and was least bothered about the customers.

Food is okay except lamb kebabs, lamb kebab was really bad (very hard to chew and was tasteless).

Music wise, forget any bollywood song.The music played was neither Bollywood nor Hollywood,

Do not spoil your evening !!

The food here is simply delicious and mouthwatering. The starters are to die for especially washed down with the passion fruit juice. The kids love this place so much that every time we visit London from Cardiff we have to make a diversion to Namaste. the service has improved a lot since I first visited here - I would rate it highly.

I would not hesitate in recommending this place if you like good food.

Namaste lounge was a brilliant family night out, great music and food. The service was good in the restaurant. After our meal the newly opened shisha gardens, shisha lounge in the back garden was a great experiance. For someone who smokes shisha on a regular basis i can say that the shisha was very good, and the staff were attentive and friendly. I definately recommend anyone to go, especially on a friday or saturday night.
