Namak @ Dusit Thani, Abu Dhabi

There is a new Indian restaurant in town and it is worth a visit.  Namak at Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi serves contemporary Indian cuisine, created by the celebrity chef Kunal Kapur. He is well known in India and has appeared on various television shows including Master Chef.  We had the opportunity to try various Indian dishes that we thought we were familiar with, but Chef Kunal and Namak puts a very unique twist that changes the traditional flavours into a whole new level.  If you want to put your taste buds through a culinary journey, don’t hesitate and bring yourself (and friends) to Namak.
