Our Story

Namaskar – Taste the True Flavours of India in Oxford

Namaskar began with a simple belief, food is one of the most heartfelt ways to greet someone.The word “Namaskar” itself is more than just a hello — it is a gesture of respect, warmth, and connection. Our restaurant was born from this spirit of welcome.

Our signature crest, featuring the Devanagari letter ‘न’, reflects the cultural roots behind our name. The emblem, crowned with a pagh-inspired motif, symbolises pride, identity, and the timeless elegance of our culinary heritage. It represents who we are: respectful of our history, yet confident in our modern vision.

From the very beginning, we wanted to create a place that felt like home, where traditional flavours meet modern experiences. Inspired by the rich heritage of South Asian cuisine, our journey started with family recipes, regional spices, and memories of meals shared with loved ones. Every dish we serve carries the essence of that tradition — honest, comforting, and made with care.

Namaskar was created to share the true taste of India right here in Oxford — combining traditional recipes, freshly ground spices, and a touch of modern flair. Our chef’s bring together flavours from across India, preparing each dish with care, passion, and authenticity.

Welcome to Namaskar — where tradition meets taste, and every meal begins with a greeting

With gratitude, The Namaskar Team
