Chennai Srilalitha Veg Restaurant in Harrow

Delicious and generous portions.

The food was scrumptious and freshly cooked very healthy and balanced with all spices

We went here on the recommendation of friends and had high hopes. I wouldn't bother going, we won't be visiting again and would give zero stars if I could. Starters were: Dahi puri: Yoghurt was bland and tiny amount of sauces so very plain tasting. Our home-made is so much tastier than this attempt at dahi puri. Chilli paneer: too much tomato in the sauce. Very wet dish and paneer was soggy and dish was not chilli. Samosa chaat: hot chana on squashed samosas. Barely any sauces or spices. Lacking flavour. Gobi manchurian: bright red. Soggy gobi. Sauce lacking in flavour. Jug of mango lassi: This was chilled and acceptable. Paneer dosa: Soft bland paneer filling Chilli cheese chips dosa: This was literally chips, some grated cheese and little bit of chopped green chillies inside a dosa. Quite bland as chillies tasted like capsicum peppers, not green chillies. Not chilli chips (like chilli paneer with a chilli sauce on - which is what we expected) Paper dosa: A large crispy paper dosa. Sambar was plain and had no vegetables in it. Red chutney was oily. Green and white chutneys were passable. Vegetarian special dosa: Soggy lettuce, spring onions, uncooked pieces of lumpy paneer and maybe some shredded raw cabbage drowned in a Vegetarian mayonnaise. So much so that all you could taste was the mayonnaise in the dosa. This was truly one of the worst dishes we have ever ordered, anywhere... equivalent to a child pouring a bottle of mayonnaise inside a dosa and throwing some raw salad in too. Yuk! I've now seen a previous reviewer wrote about this dosa too. I should have checked before visiting. Overall, the food was awful to mediocre. The group next to us were very loud so we could barely hear each other. The floor was covered in sticky food, water spills and was dirty. Staff passed food to us to give to our group rather than walking around the table and serving individuals themselves. They were fairly attentive but that's no reason to visit if the food is dire. You have been warned.

Excellent food taste, ambience and good serving

Very congested, staffs are trying their level best to accommodate the crowds. Food is very average and can improve

Most recommended Place! Thank you for the food.

My all time favourite place for South Indian Breakfast

I always eat here. Guaranteed good meal every time. Thanks so much

Always authentic Dosa options, medu vadas & sambar yumm

The cauliflower masala dosa is simply the best masala dosa I have ever eaten. The staff are friendly and service is great. Thoroughly recommend this. The buffet looks and smells wonderful but I was too full to try it this time.

Delicious south Indian food restaurant! Helpful and kind staff🙃

A sweet girl called Monica took our order today. The idly dipped in sambar was very tasty!

I came here with my family and it was really nice

I would say you should totally get the mango milkshake It’s so good!!

Excellent food , Indian Authentic taste and Special Dosa is very delicious. Me and my wife enjoy all the time in here to dinner and very cheap as well.

Good food, nice service by sonam Eat in charge is too much tbh But its a deal

So impressed with the lunchtime buffet. Unlimited dosa/ masala dosa, uttappam and other dishes freshly made. Vadai was so crispy. Service was so quick. So well worth the price. Will be coming again.

Abhilash and Sonam were really great in making sure that we were looked after. They both provided a great level of customer service and were very attentive and very humble in making sure everything was right, even when it was busy. The food is very well prepared, tasty with a lot of flavour and very good value overall. This is a really great place for dosa and South Indian food in London.

Great dosa and sambhar. Unbeatable in quality. Nothing we ordered was under par. Would definitely recommend to anyone

We were a party of 8 and they accommodated us... the waitress Sonam was absolutely lovely and soo helpful as we had 2 elderly people with us. She was so kind and checked in on us constantly. Thank you Sonam very kind of you and your hospitality was great. Food was fabulous 👌

Best South Indian food in Kenton

I have visited Chennai srilalitha in Kenton as mother’s Day special Food was amazing and staff was very friendly and very helpful I would definitely recommend this place every time 10/10

Visiting Chennai Srilalitha was the best Gift for mother on Mother's Day Food was delicious &Excellent service Staff was very polite and friendly Loved the service Recommend 10/10

I have tried the Starters it was excellent was satisfying Also Dosa Combo was recommend by staff as Mother’s Day special was the best choice 👌🏻👌🏻

I had the worst experience at Chennai Srilalitha. Ordered the Special Srilalitha Dosa, expecting something authentic and delicious, but it was overloaded with mayonnaise, which completely ruined the taste. The combination was strange and unappetizing, making it one of the most disappointing dosas I’ve ever had. Definitely not what I expected from a South Indian restaurant. Wouldn’t recommend it!

I had a terrible experience at Chennai Srilalitha. The service was extremely poor, and the staff was unprofessional. We ordered certain items, only to be told later that they were unavailable. However, when we checked the bill, we realized we had been charged for those items! When we pointed this out, they agreed to a refund but insisted on giving it in cash, even though we had paid by card. One of the staff members was particularly rude and outright refused to process a card refund. To make things worse, while customers were waiting for service, many staff members were sitting at the tables eating pizza, despite it not being a designated break time. It was completely unprofessional, and they lacked basic manners when speaking to customers. I would not recommend this place at all—poor service, rude staff, and a lack of professionalism.

I had the worst experience at Chennai Srilalitha. The service was absolutely horrible—the staff was incredibly rude and seemed completely disinterested in serving customers. Instead of focusing on their job, they were too busy arguing among themselves. It was chaotic, unprofessional, and ruined the entire dining experience. Rather than attending to customers, they were sitting around, trying to solve their internal conflicts, which made the whole atmosphere uncomfortable. If this is how they run their restaurant, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Definitely not worth visiting!

Had a terrible experience at Chennai Srilalitha. The service was absolutely the worst—staff seemed completely uninterested in serving, and they even charged us for extra items we never ordered. When we pointed this out, they refused to process a refund to our card. Instead, a lady staff member rudely told us to pay in cash or just leave, even though we had already made the payment by card. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Definitely would not recommend!

Staff was very polite and friendly But food need to improve, it was not like previously it was.

Delicious food and service by staff ..

Very testy food ..i loved it...i will come next time

This is a south Indian completely veg but the food is good and it's not too expensive They do a buffet as well as ala carte. There is enough of stree parking in the side roads but this is after 12. There is also a ramp suitable for prams or even a wheel chair They also do outside catering.

Best service ever i had in uk , best server avinash

Great spot for reasonably priced, yet high quality South Indian food. It was my first introduction to the cuisine and what a pleasant experience it was! I recommend the buffet for value for money. The staff were very attentive and never left us waiting.

Spolied food kind of waste for your money never go there ..

No-frills buffet was well done. Every dish was as it should be, tasty or crunchy or delicious. Will definitely come back to try it's other dishes.

very good food.. and the staff is extremely welcoming.. more then value for money

Really nice food and atmosphere tooo goood

Authentic South Indian food with service at ite best. Highly Recommended

Delicious fresh food. Always welcoming with friendly staff. Best Sambhar and Masala dosa as it's not too spicy. Perfect balance of spicy and fresh chutneys.

The idlis are served in a flat steel plate with all the chutneys dumped into one. When we requested the server (Sonam) to serve it in a plate which has separate compartments to segregate the chutneys or give it in small bowls, we were told that this is how they have been serving since past 20 years. The food in general is good, but the attitude of the server was very rude and stand offish.

Terrible place to eat, staff taking calls on their phones & lack of cleanliness around the food bowls. Food was lacking in flavour & very limited options!! Very surprised as to how this restaurant has many reviews!

The disrespectful venomous style behaviour of one of the asian female staff (seems senior) triggered poor rating. The situation arisen when we challenged why we were charged full price for the weekend buffet meal instead of weekend offer. Our facts fallen on deaf ears where they stated multiple incorrect grounds and didnt want to check the CCTV to check entry time, instead mocked us. Encountered similar behaviour from her few times in past, but time we got robbed by her. Be mindful always, else she will reap you off your hard earned monies !

Good customer service & tasty food.

Been coming here for past 18 years. Consistent quality and taste of food.

Sonam was very polite, helpful and efficient.

Delicious as always, big fan of this place. Great price, great food and even better service! We often come and have never been disappointed.

The food was fresh and nice. Good for authentic South Indian food.

Excellent dosas. Large with generous fillings s chutney. Great prices too.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service.

Excellent food very authentic taste.staff are very friendly and polite.

I had a really tasty , filling and cost effective meal

Very nice dosa - big and crispy and affordable

Came here with two friends for lunch time Dosa, it was amazing! I’m vegan and there was plenty to feed me!

Excellent value buffet. Loads of variety polite attentive staff. Small charge for eating in. Highly recommend . Great value

Excellent food. Super tasty, great staff and nice atmosphere. The dosa are amazing.

Bhagya deserves a gold medal for her excellent service!!! Please celebrate her!!!

As expected, nice medu bada and dosha

Quickie lunch with great tasting food and hot tea ☕️

As a family we love coming here. A number of other South Indian restaurants have opened up around us, but this one seems to always top them all with the authentic flavours. Thanks for being our go-to restaurant!

My food was burnt and I asked for a replacement. The staff were incredibly rude and didn't give a replacement or a refund. 0/10 would never go again.

I had Kerala Special Dosa, liked it. Only thing I was surprised to see was EAT IN CHARGE. Nice place.

I found hair in my food and I got food poisoning afterwards and vomited a lot.

Such a delicious and sumptuous buffet at affordable price … I had tiffins buffet came in with hungry and left with full. Most importantly service from SONAM and ABHILAEH such a gentle and friendly service. No doubt the best south food in England I’ve had. Happy 😊

Ansolutely.. delicious dosa and chole bhature♥️

Best experience everyone should go and try chole bhatura, it is very affordable and very tasty, all the foods are good but mine fav is chole bhatura

Great food and amazing taste Non pricey and variety of menu. It's pure vegetarian and food is lip smacking. We ordered Kids Dosa, Paneer 65, Chole Bhautre, mysore masala dosa and strawberry Milkshake. There was a queue before entering. However the wait time was only for 10 minutes. We enjoyed the food. Update on 01 Feb 2025 Took all my 5 stars. This is not at all 5 star. We had bad experience today. We ordered Hakka Noodles, Panner Manchurian, paper roast, onion rawa masala, mysore masala Dosa and paw Bhaji. The taste of Chinese food was amazing. Coming to South Indian dishes, paper roast was not that tasty. Sambar was not at all eatable. The paw bhaji was tasteless. My kid was not able to eat a single dish. He eats paw Bhaji in all resturants. But in the first bite, he said I can't eat. I tasted as well and it was like so bad. We asked them to change the paw Bhaji and the server said this is south Indian restaurant, and it taste like this. I said it's so ridiculous to hear that. We ate paw Bhaji earlier as well but it was pathetic. We had lot of discussion on the same and finally it was annoying. I am not visiting this restaurant again for sure. Not worth it.

Food is nice and need to more conserned to ward service and hygiene

The Sambar and chutney container were opened and food was spoiled. Food wasn't warm at all. Tiffin items not labelled properly. What sort of service is this.

Good food as always. Love the dosa here.

Food was sooo freaking good Please try filter coffee there So happy🤗

Delicious South Indian food. Sambhar is yummm! Even after 7 years!

Good that they have buffet 7days in a week and serving from morning to night.

We had out door catering for our Christmas party, excellent food and service from the two members of staff for a party of 35 people last night at Blue Ginger the Dish Of The Day was Cheese Chilli Masala Dosa out of this world. Also very generous with portions . Thank you so much for making our staff party so memorable. TEAM BLUE GINGER 🫚 🙏

Very poor quality of food; appeared stale and tasteless. Very unlikely to order again from this restaurant. Would like partial refund!

If you miss the buffet timings, it is expensive

A gem for authentic South Indian cuisine! The dosas are perfectly crispy, and the sambhar is rich and flavorful. Service is warm and efficient, making you feel right at home. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine South Indian flavors!

Delicious food and excellent customer service. Sonam served us today, she is warm and very polite. Would love to visit again soon.

Absolutely wonderful - really hit the spot! Will definitely come again for some of the best dosas we’ve ever had. Really good rasam too. Top marks

After all busy day from job, lovely south Indian dinner best place to visit. Avinash was very kind and helpful. Love to come again.

We tried the buffet option and it was a hearty meal for us. Idly, Medu Vada, Chutneys as well as Sambar was amazing and the Dosa, Utthapam as well as the desert was great.

Best dosa in Kenton. Best palak paneer we've had anywhere. Chilli paneer great too.

Great fare...deliciously delightful 😊

Visited for lunch recently and food quality remains excellent. Also staff are very friendly.

Awesome place to visit and have a south Indian food…Had a special visit from Canada

Real authentic South Indian food experience. Reminded me so much of being in India. Buffet was if anything too low priced! The sign of a place that runs on service. Thank you!

Amazing food! Friendly staff! Highly recommended!
