The food is delicious, of a good portion size and there is a varied menu selection. The service is professional, polite and warm. I felt very welcome. When I visited it was a quiet night without much custom, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Music was at the right volume to be enjoyable without being disruptive. The decor is simple and apt to the general atmosphere.

This was mine and partners first time visiting Bilash. The food was 10/10, it was flavoursome and moorish. The portions were a good size considering the price being extremely reasonable. The service was top notch and the gentleman who served us was very kind and professional. I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant you will not be disappointed!!

I wanted to eat rice for the first time in a while, so I only ordered takeout from the time I ordered the lamb biryani, but it was very delicious.

Have been coming to Bilash since I was a small child! It's our go-to for a quick Indian fix. Their food is always delicious, the staff are always friendly, and the atmosphere definitely takes you back to India. I only wish they were also open for lunch as we always patiently wait till 5:30pm. Their prices are also very VERY reasonable!!!

If you like your food brown then this place is for you. Everything is brown, the prawns are brown the sauce is brown the chicken is brown. Everything was gritty, grainy, earthy and brown. Did I mention everything was brown? On the plus side it’s cheap.

The restaurant is extremely run down. It did not smell nice. I regretted going in there straight away with family. I only went based on google review and that was an error. Even though there was only one other table other than us on a saturday night the food took ages to arrive. The food was poor. The tandoori chicken tasted old and extremely odd. It was not cooked in a tandoor oven. The curries were marginally better. To be honest i could not get out fast enough. There was only one guy front of house. He tried his best. The food is very cheap but even then quality is poor. As i did not touch the tandoori chicken they did not charge for it. I tried to pay but they refused. The restaurants heart is in the right place but clearly they have fallen on hard times. A real shame

me and my partner went for diner the food was cold and was not the dishes we requested, prawn puree/tikka puree was overpowered with spices puree was made of parata, meat curry was runny and chicken biriani chicken was smelling old, waiter seen we did not touch our food after few bites he did not even check on us to see if we was ok, he kept on watching us not eating he was rude did not care. when we ask for the bill he just hand us the bill, was not concern why we did not eat or ask for takeaway box. this place serves worse indian food ever, we went the thinking its bengali owner must know his food well, but it was a total waste of money and time!!

BIR at its best. The lamb saag is the best I've experienced. Quite salty but spinach needs the saltiness - the lamb meat is generous and comes in chunks. I like the bindi, cauliflower curries, chicken tikka (main) and prawn puri (TBH,, they should deep fry the chapati). To say the prices are reasonable and grt value is an understatement. I usually buy 2 portions of each to have the next day. TBH, it should 4*-5* but I only get the takeaway. If you eat in, the decor dates back to the 80s which migth be a bit of surprise so, a 4* overall.

Well it was really good actually quite liked the decor took me back to a time when things were really great not like nowadays. Food was great , portions generous , service was attentive but not overbearing considering he was on his own he was great. I will come back not had the bill yet but I doubt scary. Thanks Bilash 😋

Been a customer hear for over 10 years. They take really good care with their food and in 10 years I can say Iv never had one complaint. They even keep a record of what you last ordered so that when you call again its easer to order the same thing. The restaurant decor is dated but that's the charm of the place, the dim lighting and Indian music with dark wooden furniture it's a good place. I trust this place even during covid I know that the manager won't mess about and will keep a tight ship when it comes to safety. I hope others try this place out and love it like I do.

Colindale struggles for good quality grub. Of the handful of restaurants on the High Street, ignoring the multitude of fried chicken establishments, this is a passable Indian. It's reasonable priced and offers a broad menu of Indian cuisine which probably, like the restaurant, hasn't been updated since 1982. Still if you are after a reasonable Indian, you won't be disappointed. Maybe not one for a sepcial occasion.

The place is a tired, poorly lit, poorly decorated, unkempt tip. The service is lacklustre, unwelcoming and disappointing. The food gets the 4 stars on its own. Great curry, great naans, proper bit of good grub. Go in blindfolded and eat the food. We came back and so will you. Although the the mould in the toilets could do with a clean up 😂 hope the kitchens cleaner.

This is the sort of place I remember from my childhood in Bradford. Hasn't quite got the carpet wallpaper but its got the old school backlight pictures and dark wood thing going on. The curries are not really what I want, sometimes OK sometimes a bit watery. I find the chicken a bit tough and poor quality. It is cheap, and you get what you pay for I suppose. The staff a friendly though

Called in after a few beers whilst away with work and after reading the reviews on TA. I have to say that the food and service were fine. What let the Bilash down is the dated 70's decor.. All dark wood and feels a bit gloomy and oppressive. Also, the toilets are a disgrace, and I would strongly recommend that the owner sorts this out. I would give the Bilash a 4 if basing it on the food and value for money (extremely cheap), but feel that a 3 is fair given the surroundings

Im giving it 5 star because for this area its got to be one of the local favourite indians.Pretty much anyone i know eats here as the service is always great, foods lovely and at a reasonable price! I remember one time me and my boyfriend were just finishing eating here and it was very late, the restaurant were starting to pack up and the delivery man had just said his goodbyes. The manager received a phone call and though they weren't meant to be taking orders he went in & pleaded with the chef and i heard him telling the chef he would drop it on his way home. Now thats going beyond and i know its not because the restaurant needed that extra 20 quid or whatever that bad , the manager is just that lovely of a guy.

Indian food tends to be on the heavy side, so I was surprised when the curries we ordered here turned out to be so delicious and creamy yet light! We ordered from this restaurant many times after that, and every time the quality has been excellent, everything was tasty and cooked perfectly. Sadly they don't do delivery, but it remains a great option for dinner if you're in the neighbourhood!

I have eaten in this restaurant several times. It is a throwback to the 80s, the food is as it was in "Indian" restaurants of my youth. Prices are very reasonable.However on the first occasion we ate here the food was OK so back we went a few times until we were happy to take a group of friends who love old fashioned English Indian.On this last visit most of us suffered the following morning......Shame really it had been rather a change from the Kingsbury curry houses.
