Bamboo House in Harrow

Very basic food. Charged £16+mandatory service charge 7.5% for a "Maharaja" Biriyani which had no taste, no aroma and only basic ingredients. No more.

I am from Mumbai, have been searching Mumbai taste for last 2 years in London, finally reached at Bamboo House, it’s just wow 🤩 whether Chinese, Biryani or Fish, it’s the best. Their staffs also kind and effective service provider. Hail Bamboo House

Friends, if you’re craving authentic Maharashtrian style cuisine, you must visit Bamboo House in Rayners Lane! 🇮🇳🍴 Highly recommend trying the Chicken Kolhapuri 🔥 and Jackfruit Biryani 🌱 — absolutely flavorful and true to traditional taste! 😋

Disappointing Experience After Years of Loyalty I’ve been a regular customer at this restaurant for many years, often dining with friends and family to enjoy the food. Unfortunately, my recent experience ordering via Deliveroo has left me extremely disappointed. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the fish curry was particularly poor—it tasted more like tofu and if this was a fish, not one I recognised. To make matters worse, I found a hair in the curry, raising serious concerns about hygiene standards. I called the restaurant immediately, expecting either a refund or a replacement. I was told the manager would get back to me, but I never received a call. Since then, I’ve followed up multiple times. On two occasions, staff assured me the manager would contact me. However, during my most recent attempt, (yesterday), I was hung up on twice, and my third call went straight to voicemail. This level of customer service is completely unacceptable. As a loyal customer, I’m horrified by the way my complaint was handled—or rather, ignored. I’ve always enjoyed the food here, but after this experience, I won’t be returning. Poor customer service and questionable hygiene standards are not something I can overlook.

I ordered by calling them. It took 45 minutes to make and deliver the food. I ordered mutton kolhapuri, four bhakri, and chicken biryani. Proper suggestions were given while ordering so that I didn't overorder. The food is so damn authentic, tasty, and spicy (That's how authentic food is eaten in Kolhapur, India). Got an amazing discount as well from the owner. He is an amazing person. I will soon be visiting the restaurant to eat this delicious food, which gives foodgasm. Perfectly priced food. Loved it!!

We are waiting for last 1 hour still we not getting our order. Very poor services.

Very bad services of staff. We are waiting more than a hour and staff not giving the proper answer for our order. They are not understand the customer’s priority.

I called Bamboo house over the phone and the lady who picked showed incredible levels of disrespect by just putting the phone down when I wanted to order.When I called again and asked to speak to her manager she just put the phone down again and started being rude to me .I would not come here again.This is terrible customer service.

Service is extremely poor. These people have no respect. Which is a shame, food and portional sizes are phenomenal.

Hola hoy estoy desayunando rápido en bambú Muy agradable y delicioso Y una de las personas más importantes prangel ella es muy agradable servicio Me gusta. Y lo remito muchos amigos y colegas Gracias.

Normally my go to place but the customer service here is terrible, constantly hung the phone up when I was trying to sort an issue out, food came as a half portion to be told that's how they do it even though inordered the same a few days prior, ladies would just hang up when asking for a manager, when they finally said they would re make the order all they sent was a pot of sauce after waiting another hour, 30 mins of which was spent having the phone put down or being told they're just a waitress, very poor service considering I have used this place weekly for years I will no longer be visiting the establishment and will warn others, if your orders wrong good luck getting it correct ad they'll just dump the phone on you, a pity ad the food is usually 5 stars shame the waitresses have about as much customer service as a plastic bag

Morning breakfast is funtastic & unlimited at such a decent price. Evening meal and any curry is the best in town... Recommend everyone to try the above meals... Absolutely Funtastic... 👏👏👏

We went there today for Sunday buffet breakfast, reached at 09.30am. Food was ready, no other guests were there until then. Staff came to greet us and showed us the buffet menu. It had upma, shira, poha, bhaji, chhole, misal, pav, poori, chutney, onion, sev, dhaniya and team with separate sugar, onion bhajiya got added 30mins later. Food quality and taste was very good. Two more families arrived around 10.30am. We enjoyed slow eating with chatting until 11am. Overall a good experience and will be going back for sure . Rates are very reasonable, don't think anywhere else we get Sunday buffet breakfast with this wide spread menu for 5.99 only including taxes. Only point of improvement is the eating plates are really baby size that we give to toddlers while the spoon size is larger than usual eating spoon. Please make both in proportion to each other. Thanks.

Bamboo house provided mouth watering traditional food for our event. Particularly Brinjal veg in Maharashtrian style was authentic. We thoroughly enjoyed.

Exceptional place, with exceptional people serving. Owner, Chef and staff all polite and welcoming, food quality and quantity both up to the mark, specially Biryani. I would recommend this place, because of its taste. Thanks again.

Awesome food.. we are here couple of times and everytime we enjoyed the food.. ordered food for events as well and it was a good experience always.

3 hours wait to get our food delivered, called multiple times to ask where it was. Was told it was on the way, even though we live 5 minutes away, we were either lied to on the phone or they hung up. Appalling service, we were regular customers before this, that was the last time we order from here. No call to apologise or explain what happened, would have understood if they were busy, etc. Communicate with your customers!! Also food was so spicy you could barely taste anything else, and we love spicy food.

Had a great experience at Bamboo House! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was quick, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend!

Ordered 1 chicken biryani and 2 egg biryanis, but found a piece of chicken in the egg biryani. When we raised the issue, the restaurant denied making separate dishes for egg and chicken, which is unacceptable. This raises serious concerns about food hygiene and transparency. If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, think twice before ordering. Very disappointing experience!

Great experience to visit in morning time as they serve unlimited Indian breakfast with great taste . The old person whose name is Mr Ranjit is very humble and kind and always ask if you need something. And the lady person name Priya she cooks lovely food. Great taste and great people. The food was delicious and value for money. It’s my 4th visit and will come again and again.

Chilli chicken for starter was with Chinese sauce and not Indian style. Hyderabadi chicken biriani did not have much chicken It was good to be able to our own alcoholic drinks at reasonable corkage charge. Restaurant provided beer and whisky glasses.

I had ordered the veg biryani and kadhai paneer. Both were fab! Thank you to the restaurant for making it super spicy like I had asked and also the quantity was mind blowing!

Excellent delicious food and service was impressive, spoil for selection of food 👌🏻

Domingo 5 de enero alrededor del 10 . 15 am visité con mi amigo para el desayuno ilimitado y no había upma disponible durante toda la hora que me alojé en el lugar. Cuando le pregunté a la señora sirviendo, etc, dijo que estaba terminado para el día. Luego dije que diera algún descuento porque este artículo no vino y también sheera vino cuando terminamos el desayuno. El propietario principal no estaba disponible, así que tuve que pagar completo para 2 personas. Creo que necesitan estar más organizados y hacer que todos los artículos estén disponibles para comer. Se espera que el fin de semana haya más gente, así que planifica en consecuencia. Me siento insatisfactorio, aunque otra comida era muy sabrosa en este caso en particular no estoy contento con.

Expected refund for it because was hungry too much.

Whilst the service was very good at this restaurant our evening was completely ruined by a large group of arrogant Asians who were shouting over one and other constantly. Also the lollipop chicken was dry.

The food i order so tasty and nice . thank you so much.

Food came very very late and highly disappointed and food not cocked properly

I had the best authentic Indian food which made me feel heavenly. I ordered Egg curry and Egg biryani and taste was simply splendid and spices used just gave the wow factor. The ambience is also very nice. I happened to meet Prashant Patil the owner seperately and he is very down to earth and humble person.

Once again, Bamboo house exceed expectations with their delicious curry bases and great variety of tasty dishes! Ordered the chicken dhansak- great curry base and tasty👍 ordered the cashew nut curry- creamy & delicious, wasn’t overpowering- just perfect! Ordered the keema rice- not lots of keema but the flavour of the keema really came through making it delicious. Highly recommend Bamboo house. I would order from here again, for the 5th time! :)

It is probably one of the best Authentic Indian restaurants in Harrow. The food is authentic and the portion is generous. We ordered the famous Kolhapuri Dishes, Bamboo House Maharaja Biryani, superb ! Overall, I highly recommend this place to any Indian food lovers!

No curry sauce today. Love their curry sauce that usually comes with this order.

The food was all very tasty . thank you and the delivery man was very polite 👍

Went there for breakfast buffet and I must say it was delicious. Though I am not a big Chai lover, i really liked their Masala Chai.

all boxes were upside down n curry leaking!

Just eat delivery guy was polite unlike some previous delivery drivers, asking what’s so special about ordering from a restaurant that was 3 miles away. Food was exceptional as always. Never fails and top quality. No choice but to compliment! 👍

outstanding in every way. my new favourite 😍

I have recently had items on the breakfast menu and also lunch menu and in opinion exceptional value for money matched by the taste of the food and also available on Uber Keep it up !!

Great food… literally hits the spot… Reminds you of home… the best I had till now…

Waited 30 minutes for the round of 4 drinks and even then the order was served incorrectly. Absolutely poor service and paid bill and not ordered food. Lack of management is the issue

Slow service.. missed a dish.Too busy sat night needs more staff

Service is worst at its peak. We had to wait for 45 min for starters then another 30 min for mains. It's understaffed. Very bad atmosphere, it was soooo humid inside. And the food, waste of waiting for so long. Not properly cooked. Overall bad expression.

The food is amazing here. We travel a fair distance just to eat their Kolhapuri chicken. It’s the best we’ve had outside of India. It’s a shame though that recently they’ve stopped the Bhakari which was part of the authentic experience we enjoyed when we began visiting this restaurant.

I went there with my family and it was absolutely amazing experience if you want to have authentic Indian food do try this restaurant. We tried veg and non Veg both was good. Their paneer chilli and chicken lollypop was so delicious 😋, and every food we had there was amazing. Even though it was so busy we had Best service. Highly recommended.

The place is good staff is very friendly and food is good

Its a very very bad service And staff also and food is so bad..we are getting a 12 people and we waiting 1.30 hour..then food is not coming..we are go without eating a food.. and restaurant not a busy its a quiet..so please anyone forget the place

Service is thirdclass ,no any responsibility, food is Cold, no test Also staff are not responsible.

Service is zero we are spending more than 1 hours but it's not delivered

I had ordered at 21:02 and one hour later, after calling the restaurant they said the delivery person didn’t came to collect the order. I had to drive to the restaurant to pick it up and SURPRISE the driver entered after me to pick it up. PLS CONTACT

Unlimited Breakfast in London.Bamboo house indian break fast. london food spot https://youtu.be/T_8V8O_hTAg Vedio @ Tym Pass youtube channel

Very authentic Indian taste. Very nice service. Thank you Pratiksha for service and best food served as requested.

Great pricez pratiksha was so much helpfull. She made sure i was taken care properly. I am happy with pratiksha and chana was above awsome.

The chicken and lamb kebabs were not nice. It was chewy.....There was no proper chutney to go with it....extremely disappointed 😞

I visited this restaurant at 10 PM, expecting it to be open until 11 PM as listed on Google. However, the staff informed me that the kitchen was already closed. Additionally, the staff's behavior was quite rude and unprofessional. This was a disappointing experience, and I hope the restaurant updates its hours online and addresses the staff's conduct.

We ordered food for 50 people from Bamboo House, and the service was outstanding. The food was delicious, and all my guests thoroughly enjoyed it. The quantity and quality were both excellent.

We've been to this restaurant yesterday. The service was awful. They throw stuff on your table. You need to ask countless times for a glass of water. Moreover, the staff lack any knowledge about the food and the menu. I wanted spicy food and got sweet curry. The staff don't care about the customers. They started clearing the table before we finished the food. The food was average but the service and the attitude of the staff ruined everything. When asked for the drinks and mocktails they just don't know what's in there. We didn't want to pay the service charge but did pay as we just wanted to get out of the restaurant.

food was burnt, couldn’t eat it at all.

Really bad service and taking too long to get food. Online price and in house prices are different and breakfast buffet less food then mention online.

If you’d like to experience the WORST EVER food and service visit here or else don’t! We ordered mutton biryani which was mostly only bones. We ordered papadum bowl which came soggy and was clearly kept for hours. Moreover, when we asked them to change it they came with literally the same basket again with no changes done to it. When we complained again, she said “ok, papadum is cancelled then ok” (those exact words) and she walked away. We also ordered Hara Bhara Kabab which came in an extremely small plate with only 3 of them costing us almost 10 pounds. On top of that, they were clearly only interested in their take away orders. The waitress was EXTREMELY rude with us to. She decided she’ll remove papad off our order. She didn’t give us water in spite of asking 5 times and she had no interest in even listening to us. Just wish Yogini isn’t serving you. Didn’t want to post a name but she spoilt our day. I’d never ever recommend this place to anyone!!

Breakfast was awesome,staff was very helpfull and kind .service was outstanding .Ideal place for kids as they have plenty food option in menu with Good test.

Tried vegetarian food, starters - Masala Mogo was good however Paneer Tikka could have a better marination. Taste was okay and portion for Paneer Tikka was average compared to price charged. Main course - Garlic Naan and Dal Makhni were good however Paneer Jalfrazi was again average. Service and ambience was nice.

Very slow and unreliable venue. The restaurant is not run professionally it lacks staff and management to say the least.

Delicious and freshly cooked buffet breakfast with tea and coffee option with friendly and prompt service by Miss Yogini very polite and hardworking staff with great smile. Great asset of Bamboo house. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Great food at reasonable price.also new tables & chairs

Hola. Escribir esta opinión para evitar que otros pierdan su dinero y tiempo visitando este lugar. Esta fue mi tercera visita y créeme que han sido consistentes con su horrible servicio y comida patética. Tuve que rogar literalmente por lo básico como cucharas y cucharas. ¿Cómo esperan tomar salsa de col de un recipiente profundo con una cuchara? La comida y los servicios son mucho mejores en los servicios funerarios. Que escriban montones pero que hayan perdido suficiente tiempo y energía en Bamboo House no desean hacer más.

Hi, Writing this review to save others from wasting their money and time by visiting this place. This was my third visit and trust you me they have been consistent with their horrible service and pathetic food. Had to literally beg for the basics like laddle and spoons. How do they expect to take chole gravy from a deep container with a spoon. Food and services are much better in funral services. Have loads ti write but have wasted enough time and energy on Bamboo House dont wish to do further.

Bamboo house always great food. We had mix grilled,prawns coliwada,few beers and a biryani. Reasonably priced, great service!

Enjoyed Breakfast @ Bamboo House in the Morning @8 AM, Thanks to Management opening @ 8AM breakfast service , Thanks to Yogini for the great hospitality and quick service. Good price £6.99 for Unlimited breakfast, Misal Pav , puri Bhaji was Excellent !

The food is GREASY and very spicy. Even after being told that we want it mild. The lady behind the counter was very rude. Even though the restaurant was empty but she said she has no time to listen to the complaint and refused to give her name.

La comida es GRASA y muy picante. Incluso después de que nos dijeran que lo queríamos suave. La señora detrás del mostrador era muy grosera. A pesar de que el restaurante estaba vacío, dijo que no tiene tiempo para escuchar la queja y se negó a dar su nombre. Tienen una calificación de Higiene Alimentaria de 3 solamente. Fácil de adivinar ya que los cubiertos no se lavaron y limpiaron correctamente.

🥇🏆💎 Definitely the best quality Indian food in Northwest London! Authentic, delicious great quality, great tasting dishes. This is how Indian food should be made. These guys know their flavours and balance of spices impressively well 👍 Compliments to the chefs👍💎 The Paneer biryani is delicious!! Lavish quantities of paneer in biryani. Great value for money. Paste used on biryani has a great authentic flavour 👍 Chicken biriyani, dal makhani are delicious👍…I cannot name one dish from here that doesn’t taste anything less than delicious! Breakfast buffet is ok. For £5.99, it’s excellent value for money 👍 Quality of the breakfast curries are ok. Could do with a little more flavour to the curries.

I really like the food but on the website they said it was still £5.99 also when I went the lady said the price was £6.99 I won't go again

Very tasty food. Great service and very friendly staff. Highly recommend to try their chilly chicken and Biryani.

Just walked in and collected chicken biryani.. the taste is amazing. Touches the real taste of HYDERABAD BIRYANI. However, the price feels like a bit more for the quantity provided.

I have tired food here and it has really good taste but the staff is exactly opposite and they got no manners to talk with the staff. Staff is not well trained. It was not once but twice I face this problem with the staff

Worst service, no proper way of talking, they sent us back for last 2 times due their issues.

Very tasty foods, first time trying this Resturant and definitely will be returning!

Didn’t like the food at all. Didn’t understand why I wasted time and money.

we have been visiting this restaurant since it opened up and always had a great time including the service and food. but to my surprise,we visited the restaurant on 29th march 2024 with my entire family wherein we were a group of 10 people and the restaurant wasn’t that busy but there were 4 tables occupied by other people. we decided to go for the unlimited thali ,lamb biryani’s ,noodles etc ordered the food with the waitress and there was no sign of her as she was in the kitchen cooking. we wanted to order drinks and some food from the kids section but no one was available in the restaurant,we had to go and knock on the kitchen door to grab her attention in order to order the kids food. food arrived 43minutes later which is a shame but only half food.and the other around half an hour later.the service was awful and the poor waitress was the only one serving and helping out in the kitchen too which is not safe keeping in mind health and safety and she had her lil son who will be around 4years of age in the restaurant playing.now coming to the food,well it was advertised the thali was unlimited which was not as every item which was needed to be refilled took around 30 minutes to get to our table,as the portion was small and needed refilling .we had the worst service ever ,even my local chicken and chip shop provides better service. The owner Prashaaant really needs to buckle up and pay some attention to the service which is provided to the customers as we are paying for service that we are not receiving in his restaurant.Poor waitress was trying hard to meet ends.this restaurant has really gone down hill as in the past it was such a gem . HAD AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND NEVER RETURNING BACK AND WILL MAKE SURE TO SPREAD THE WORLD AS DONT WANT OTHERS TO EXPERIENCE THIS.

Bamboo House has been and is our favourite place for meeting up with friends . An absolute gem. In terms of quality of food, service and ambience. You feel like home , experience top class gastronomy and are looked after for all your needs. Thank you Bamboo House staff for another great night yesterday.

Excessive waiting time for Uber order. No Enough Staff.

I found this place as a great option to have breakfast in Harrow if you are looking for an Indian option. I only had breakfast here, so I can only talk about it. There are many items available starting from some Gujarati snacks like pakoda, bhajiya, pohe, methi gota, and the very common Indian breakfast like Poori - Aloo sabji and, yes, not to forget - the Indian Chai 😋. In addition, there are a variety of Chutneys which you simply can't avoid. Everything I tried was irresistible and mouthwatering 🤤 The bonus is that they are all available as unlimited with friendly staff members.

Updating my review from last time, I had given 5 stars, now I am changing it to give 3 stars for service. Service has declined very much since last year. First time we visited in May, best service. Later we visited with guests, wnated to have vegan options, staff wasn’t cooperative to guide. This year, the staff was rude, not answering properly. we like masala papad, Bamboo house chicken biryani, kolhapuri chicken, vangyache bharit , bhakri (this is the most surprising elwment) and mango lassi. we loved all of this. Food is good but because service has declined, we think twice before taking guests there.

Great food overall! We were here to celebrate one of our friend's birthday and all the food was exceptional. We tried the Mogo, Paneer Chilli, Fish Tikka, Sev Tomato, Kaju Curry, Chicken Karahi, Dal Tadka & Jeera Rice. All the food was great in taste & quantity. The staff were very hospitable and welcoming. No complaints at all from us. Will be returning soon, hoping for the same experience.

the order was incomplete. i was waiting for another 30 min for remaining order

A delicious dinner served and provided nice service.Staff also so friendly and kind

The shop opened late at 9:20am. The poster days the breakfast buffet starts from 8am. Once opened the service was very slow. Food was hot and fresh. Although It was a supposed to be abuffet , it was not,we had ask the staff everytime we needed any items from the buffet breakfast menu and they had to make it and the quantity was very small when they had got them in the plates . Poha first came in a small plate. Upon asking for a refill it came is small comtainers meant for chutney. Literally only 3 teaspoons of poha in it. The same with the pakora, when we asked for refill the quantity was very small in a small plate, just 3 or 4 small pieces as you can see in the photo. making it very slow. The chai was good. The pakora had a bit more salt in it. The poori bhaji and the poha was also good.

The onus is for making money,customers need to be careful,please do not order a salad or poppadoms,its a con.over priced food,not worthy of this restaurant.

Good value for the breakfast, quick and efficient, recommended for quiet time and ambient with lovely music . Thank you

Small restaurant, having eaten at this restaurant on multiple occasions, I can confidently say that each visit has been consistently exceptional. The food is absolutely superb. I look forward to returning in the future without hesitation. I highly recommend it to others!

It was my first time eating here just walking around Rayners Lane, the ambience was really cool. The food is great for its cost point, and staff were very helpful and kind. I highly recommend the restaurant, and hope to come back again.

One of best tasting indian non-vegetarian food in the nearby region. Service was a bit slow but has been improved lately. I presume the chef /owner is of a Maharashtrian origin hence the taste.

Bamboo house is the best as usual. Generous portion and very nice taste !

Great food. Weekend rajasthani thali is the best!

Dined with family for dinner and ordered a variety - chilli paneer, baingan bharta, cheese naan, butter naan, paneer kulcha, and chips. Enjoyed the meal everything was delicious. Planning to come back for more.

food was very cold and tasteless, my friend and I went hungry and also it’s false promotion of what is advertised, as mentioned by previous review. The Advert says buffet breakfast but it was not. Service was very poor and slow. Will never go again and will not recommend this restaurant. There was only one person serving. There were few people there and they all were very disappointed and all complained but waiter could not do anything as there was no manager there. really awful. Don't go there, waste of time and money.
