Our story · Hercules, CA

Namkeen culture, made for sharing.

Namak is salt — the thing that brings a dish, and a table, together. Our Hercules kitchen cooks authentic halal Indian and Pakistani food the way our families taught us, with patience, generosity and the right amount of spice — and we're proud to feed the whole East Bay, from Pinole and Rodeo to Richmond, El Cerrito, San Pablo and Vallejo.

All halal, always

Every meat we serve is hand-sourced and halal-certified. No exceptions.

Tandoor on-site

Our clay oven runs hot all day. Naan and tikka leave it within minutes of your order.

Banquet hall

From mehndi to milestone birthday — we host the whole celebration, up to 200 guests.

Bar — coming soon

A craft cocktail program built around our spice pantry. Stay tuned.
