REVIEW: Salaam Namaste, Bloomsbury - Food Goblin
food menu ambience location value
When I heard before Christmas therefore that Indian restaurant Salaam Namaste in Bloomsbury was cut from a different cloth and took pains to feature regional Indian menus throughout the year, recently including a Goan themed menu, I was excited to go down and try it their food.
Mains brought me a seafood ‘moilee’ of king prawn, scallops and seabass in a coconut and mustard sauce.
Like a good South Indian curry should be, it was light yet creamy, thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but loose enough to be gluggable by the pint.

Inside, its a far cry from the flock wallpaper and chintz of the late-night curry house.
Unfortunately, in common with many a bar, it felt a bit crowded – too many tables crammed in meaning I was fighting for elbow room with my neighbour.
Head chef Sabbir Karim has put together a fairly huge menu and it takes a while to digest all the options; especially when dishes as diverse as Dorset crab cakes, jungle lamb chop and curried goat are on offer.
Pick of the mains was either the seafood moilee – healthy pieces of prawn, squid and seabass swimming in a slightly unbalanced but still tasty mustard and coconut sauce, or the rich, dark and mysterious goat curry.
Meanwhile, the butter chicken was nice enough, smooth and succulent, without being beyond the remit of your usual curry, but unfortunately the lamb chops were disappointing –far too dry and overcooked.

food menu
A fresh mango chutney, some mint sauce and a great (though spicy) tomato chutney went down very well.
Two large pieces of blacked (but in a nice charred way) mackerel fish in a garlic marinade with a Goan tomato based sauce and zesty side salad.
Jungle style turkey curry was a great dish for the festive season.
The turkey was overcooked, something that is incredibly easy to do so while i admire the festive approach, this dish could be great – but it just needs some good juicy meat.
Its a lovely dish and very easy to make at home, with only a few ingredients needed to create it.

food location
This isn't usually an area of fascination, but the emptiness of the room was so at odds with the quality and cheapness of the food that I was eager to know what was happening on the PR front.
"Well," he said, "they've hired a guy to walk up and down Great Ormond Street with a sandwich board."
When new restaurants routinely pay PR agencies fortunes to pepper us with enough clumsily written press releases to slash this log-fire-loving reviewer's annual kindling bill by 92.7%, this manifestation of the Corinthian spirit had a dramatic effect on the emotions.
In fact, the previous restaurant on this graveyard site was Chinese, and it's a depressing pointer to the lack of respect in which our leaders are held in this age of cynics and sneerers that it failed despite having hosted a 50th-birthday dinner for Tony Blair, it being a favourite of that excellent judge, Cherie, whose chambers are nearby.
To find such a superb and filling dish in central London for £3.95 made me nervous about the grasp of profit margins, as did the £4.50 charged for a large serving of excellent tiger prawns in a gratifyingly potent Goan peri-peri sauce.
