The house speciality
Hyderabadi dum biryani, done properly
In a dum biryani the meat, spices and rice are sealed together and slow-cooked, so every grain takes on the flavour. Ours is made with homemade curd and spices ground in our kitchen — no nuts and no artificial colours.
Try the Namaste Paradise, our old-style double masala biryani, the Golconda chicken dum biryani, or the veg dum biryani with paneer and fresh vegetables. Add salan and raita on the side.

Our story
From a family kitchen to Cambridge’s biryani spot
Namaste — a greeting of respect and gratitude — is how we welcome everyone who eats with us. We started as a small family-run kitchen with recipes passed down through generations, and we still grind our own spices and cook every order fresh.
Whether it is a quick takeaway, dinner at home or catering for a celebration, the promise is the same: authentic, generous and affordable Indian food, with warm hospitality.
- Hyderabadi dum biryani Meat, spices and rice sealed and slow-cooked together.
- Home-ground spices Blended in our kitchen for every curry and fry.
- Local ingredients Sourced nearby whenever we can.
