5 /5 Nicola: Namasthe Hounslow is a solid 5-star spot if you’re craving bold, spicy South Indian food with real Hyderabadi flair. We came here for lunch and were seriously impressed with both the flavour and portion sizes.
We ordered the prawn biryani, which was absolutely packed with Hyderabadi spices — rich, aromatic, and very spicy (in a good way!). The portion was huge, easily enough for two if youre not super hungry. Every bite had that deep, slow-cooked biryani flavour you can only get when it’s done right.
We also tried the masala dosa — it was a bit different from the usual Chennai-style dosas I’m used to, slightly thicker and with a twist on the masala filling, but it was still super tasty. Definitely a nice change of pace.
The paneer tikka was another win — no gravy, just marinated and grilled to perfection with that smoky char and a punchy spice rub. It made a great starter and paired well with the rest of the meal.
To top it off, the filter coffee was really good — strong, smooth, and just what we needed after all the spice.
No-frills setting, but amazing food. If you love real heat and flavour, definitely check it out!
