The Bottom Line

Namaste by Alo Barbar is a 24-hour restaurant in Trade Centretrade Centre 1 serving Indian, Arabic and Lebanese food. It is worth considering when your group cannot agree on one cuisine: the Indian menu includes mutton biryani and Makhani Dal, while the Arabic side covers grills, shawarma and traditional breakfast dishes. The Burj Khalifa view adds a clear reason to choose it over a purely functional meal.

The strongest dish mentions are quite specific. Arabic grills were praised for soft bread and tender chicken, mutton biryani was recommended by diners, and jalebi—sometimes served as Jalebi Rabri—comes up repeatedly as a dessert. Fresh juices and an open kitchen, where one reviewer could see the team working, are useful details for first-time visitors.

The restaurant also has practical appeal: reviews mention outdoor seating, free parking and valet parking, although it is sensible to confirm the current parking setup. Its long hours suit late meals, and one family used it for a first birthday celebration. Quality is not perfectly consistent.

A returning group complained about awarma and cheese manoushe, another found a smell in the red meat mix grill, and dirty cutlery was reported. Ask about portions and dish details before ordering, especially if you are unfamiliar with the menu.
