Master Critic Review

Namkeen 8.5
Williamsburg
Namkeen is a South Asian hot-chicken shop on Bedford where Nashville-style fried chicken, smash burgers, and loaded fries stay busy until midnight on weekends. It’s a go-to for groups who want something spicier and more layered than a basic late-night burger and fries.
