Lamb korma garnished with coriander and almonds at Namaste Bharat

Namaste Bharat brings a broad North Indian menu to The Square, combining table service with online ordering and takeaway. The kitchen's scope is clear from the opening choices: crisp vegetable snacks made with chickpea batter sit alongside paneer tikka, tandoori mushrooms and chicken marinated overnight before cooking in the tandoor. Mixed platters make it possible to compare several of those preparations at once, with separate meat and vegetarian versions for different tables.

Chicken curries travel well beyond a single house style. Tikka masala and butter chicken bring tomato-led gravies, korma uses a creamier cashew base, and madras moves toward coconut, curry leaf and mustard seed. Kadai, bhuna and jalfrezi introduce capsicum, onion and whole spices, while hara masala folds the chicken into a spinach gravy. That range gives diners meaningful choices between sweet, rich, smoky and sharper spice profiles.

Lamb and seafood receive similarly distinct treatments. Do pyaza, bhuna gosht, sagwala and vindaloo sit beside a lamb curry built with 25 herbs and spices, while Malabar fish or prawns use coconut cream, curry leaves and mustard seed. The vegetarian list is not an afterthought: paneer appears in tikka masala, kadai, butter masala and spinach dishes, supported by dal makhani, dal tadka, chana masala, mushrooms and Bombay-style potatoes.

Biryanis and pulao provide complete rice-based meals, and the bread section ranges from garlic and Kashmiri naan to roti canai, tandoori roti and layered paratha. Fresh chutneys, raita and kachumber can sharpen or cool the richer dishes, while carrot halwa and gulab jamun bring a traditional sweet finish. With vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free labels carried through the menu, the restaurant gives mixed groups several practical routes through a shared meal.
