"Having stayed in Bloomsbury many times over the years, at a nearby hotel twice now, I have no idea why we hadn 't noticed this restaurant before it 's less than 5 minutes ' walk from the hotel, ideal for dinner at the end of a busy day full of walking. Delightful friendly staff, efficient courteous service, a really lovely menu with quite a few dishes that were new to us. A restaurant near where I live in the north east of Scotland, now sadly closed, was the first time I had experienced Indian 'fine dining ' Salaam Namaste was the second, I was so pleased it more than lived up to the standard of my much missed local venue. You can mix match starters or 'small plates ' (my favourite way to eat , share dishes, pretty much do whatever takes your fancy choice wise, which is lovely. Must admit to having onion bhaji saag paneer always my benchmark when eating in a new to me Indian restaurant simply superb, the saag paneer was a little differently prepared to what I 've had in (many! other Indian restaurants in various locations. Definitely on our list to return to, hopefully next year on our annual visit (if not before a huge thank you to everyone here for making our dinner such a delicious enjoyable occasion."
