Namaste Lounge

Before this place did a whole refurb, it was a standard, table chair indian place and food was A-​OK! Now that it looks like a hip, posh joint out of central london, this place is heaving, and more so now than before when it opened. Why so, because of that show Desi Rascals.
Before filming even took place, there was no curfew on the table, meaning you can sit, eat and enjoy time with your friends properly, you weren’t rushed to hurry up and finish your food. Don’t get me wrong, the food is good, but the service is pretty slow! The chicken and meat dishes here are good, less so for the vegetarian food though. Drink prices are a staggering central london price for a joint in northwood! You’d think you’re in mayfair when you step in, but once you step out again, its just harrow isn’t it!!!
After desi rascals, this place now has 2.5 hour table curfew, bascially as soon you get there, order your food, hurry up and eat and get the hell out of there!!! No where in london even does that!!! They are so packed, they can’t even maintain the level of service!
Only reason I give it two stars, is because the food is good, otherwise I wouldn’t want to be seen in this place! Its nice, yes, but do you want to be so rushed out that you can’t even chew your food!!!
And always check your bill if you go, they will double charge you!!! Then they will put the blame on you, then you have to go to all measures of speaking to the manager, who finally sorts it out for you. Then offers discount which you then say, thanks but no thanks!!!

I came here to the Shisha bar, it was ok but nothing special. The staff took ages to come over and take our order, even though it was not too busy and we only ordered drinks and shisha. The service was quite slow and not very attentive at all. I wouldn’t come back here.

They like to lock the fire doors when it’s busy!!! U have been warned

Namaste means ‘Greetings’ in Hindi, traditionally said with folded hands. The most quintessential Indian mannerism. Particularly used when a guest is ushered inside a home. This is one thing we missed during our visit. We didn’t feel that we were welcome.
May be I am being bit harsh but it was the wife’s birthday and I chose the venue and when the staff act cold and indifferent it does ruin the moment.
The ambiance is good, ample parking, a Seesha lounge and brilliant outdoor seating — which I believe was recently redone — it could be a star if the staff do one thing right — welcome the customer with a smile.
Wither they were having a bad day or something else going on it was definitely not busy, we were the first customer in. We were seated and menus given and orders taken but that personal attention and ‘connect’ was missing.
We ordered the regular stuff that you order in an Indian lounge, lots of different starters to try and then some light mains — nothing was out of the ordinary. Food was just all right. Booze was expensive (more than £5 for a pint of lager, I had Tiger!) but was not worth it considering the extremely Luke warm service– and on top of that they added a mandatory 10% service charge.
We got a feeling that as the service progressed there was a little improvement but too little and too little too late and we had to try hard to get the attention of the staff. They gave what we asked but there didn’t ask what we needed. By then we had made up our mind never to go back.
Didn’t do justice to the name — not even close. 2 star because the place looks cool and food was edible.

Happening place! Went with my niece from Florida who was visiting me, to show her the London desi scene :) Bit cramped for space but good crowd.

Yes, it hit the spot! Their chilli lamb is the best I have had.
Highlights: Food was delicious, cooked to perfection and ample quantity, Location was easy to find with decent parking, Staff was friendly with good décor and set up.
Can improve: Maybe make it a little more inviting, but not a big issue at all.
Benchmark: They set the standard along with Delhi Spice and Everest Lounge.
Dined in June 2015 and will definitely be returning. I focused more on their starters but I would say you can’t go wrong with anything you order.

Paan flavour shisha!!! YAAAAAAAAY!
I come here only for the shisha since it’s private and decently priced. It’s always busy though, I once had to ask four times for water –_​_​– however, it’s pretty nice amidst all the typical *bloop bloop* boys and I’m pretty much a regular here now considering the free parking just next door.
The restaurant is separate but is very fancy, pretty upper class I’d say so it wouldn’t be a bad idea for a birthday or for even an event I’d say.

Great staff. Fantastic Indian snacks and mains. Good beer. Many big screens for music or sport. Good parking. Right by tube if you want a few more drinks.
