Shannon Dias We had the veg chicken fried rice and it totally hit the spot! The soya-based chicken was surprisingly amazing—great texture, full of flavor, and packed with that perfect umami punch. The portion was super generous; my wife and I shared one and were completely stuffed. Overall, it was a great experience, definitely worth the price, and something we’d go back for in a heartbeat.

Ahmed Deedat I came on the 13th February 2026. During lunch time around 13:00PM I was by myself and just wanted to eat something homeish vibe food. I was greeted at the door by Harry, he was cleaning at the time and I felt like I was interrupting him, but he had a big smile on his face and reassured me, I wasn’t. (I still felt bad) He sat me down on a table for 1 and passed me the menu. He came by 2 minutes later asking if I’m ready and I said yes. I ordered the chicken biryani box. (£5) Harry was very nice and polite throughout the whole interaction and kept an eye on me. The wait was very good, only around 5-6 minutes. The food now, the biryani was very unique I had a good 6-7 pieces in the bowl. The texture of the rice was soft and the ingredients they had used, you can smell and taste that it was fresh. I honestly enjoyed the food a lot. Would definitely come back here with family and friends to try more dishes. Oh and also they had really good Asian Bollywood instrumental calm music in the background to set the atmosphere.

Shara Tahrima Hossain Saw this restaurant in passing and decided to check it out. We ordered the pulao with lamb shank. Starter came as chicken corn soup, and with the pulao they offered us afghan lamb koftas, bread, and salad. Everything was absolutely delicious, the man who served us was so friendly and the restaurant felt very warm and cozy. Will definitely come again!

Mari Harune Korean Kitchen at Bang Bang in Colindale is easily one of my go-to spots. I go there often, and it never disappoints. The jjajangmyeon is one of my favourites. Rich, savoury black bean sauce with perfectly cooked noodles, so comforting and full of flavour. Their kimbap is always fresh and neatly rolled, with a great balance of fillings in every bite. The bibimbap is another standout- colourful, generous portions, and packed with flavour once everything is mixed together with that delicious gochujang kick. I also love their japchae, which is beautifully seasoned with just the right sweetness and texture from the glass noodles. And to finish, the strawberry bingsoo is a must. It’s light, refreshing, and topped generously with sweet strawberries, the perfect dessert, especially after a hearty meal. The food is consistently good, portions are satisfying, and it’s a great place to eat at Bang Bang. Definitely recommend if you’re craving authentic, comforting Korean food in Colindale!

Faisal Abbas Great experience at Aladin in Hendon. The lamb nihari is signature dish — rich, slow-cooked, and full of authentic flavour. The chicken shinwari wasn’t great, but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommend the til naan, which was outstanding, and the kheer to finish — simple and very well done. Friendly, welcoming staff and genuinely authentic food.

Samantha Hilldon Lovely new cafe on West Hendon Broadway. Bright, airy, spotlessly clean (I need to get the details of their cleaner!), nicely decorated and service with care and attention by the owner/manager. Reasonably priced food and drinks - the chai tea is very nice - made from powder not syrup. Fast WiFi and comfortable seating. Will definitely be back.
