Desi Hype in Harrow - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

If you are looking for authentic Indian hyderabadi food this is the place to be, chicken dum biryani(it is really dum cooked unlike other restaurants who only market it that way) and chicken 65 is a must try, we also liked chicken majestic, butter chicken and chennai chicken. Good ambience too, it was recently renovated. Great service by Kunal, he was very friendly and a fantastic host!

I ordered garlic naan and veg kofta curry from Desi hype. The kofta was extremely less in quantity and the worst part is it had so much salt that I couldn't eat at all. Not worth the money

I ordered food from this place today and it wasn't as expected. The naan was cold, and the "chilli mogo" was just regular mogo with chilli. Additionally, the delivery driver just left the food outside and walked away. I will not be ordering from here anymore. I called the restaurant and the guy said he will call me back, but I still haven't received a call back.

Worst service I have seen - since owners changed hands - do not recommend do not go there.

Top food and top service by Kunaal and team. Their mix plater is a must try which is worth the price.

The food has changed for the worse since the last time we ordered. The chicken tikka masala used to be so flavourful and spicy. Now it is just bland and tasteless.

They can learn from even surfing the web, Ordered food through Deliveroo, ordered methi chicken, it was in white gravy with sprinkle of methi! Never experienced that anywhere. Jeera chicken was not good either, very hard, very little flavor of Jeera.

Nice place to have authentic Indian food with upto the mark taste. Amazing ambience

The restaurant appears to have changed hands, the food is not even close to what it was last time I went. The paneer tikka masala is a little tart, and I ended up chewing on a massive piece of ginger, it used to be smooth creamy and on the sweet side last time I went. My wife seemed to like it but I preferred the old recipe. The egg biriyani - the egg had gone grey and rubbery which I think happens when you overcook it and it was quite bland. There are many more varieties however and my daughter had the sizzler which she said was really nice. No beers on tap, no cocktails/mocktails - I think they said that was because of restructuring but should have advised on booking IMHO.. Such a shame, used to be one of my favourites .

Delicious authentic Indian food, great for family. Staff was friendly and free parking at rear. Must try chicken 65 which was out of this world.

One person serving. Didn't provide drinks as per set menu. Some Food was not cooked fresh.

It's a hyped place with Bangladeshi typed food, worst food, worst taste and very expensive, felt really cheated after dining here, I bet even their chef won't be eating there.

Waste of money, food is simply tasteless. It's a hopeless and really hyped desi hype. Please avoid wasting your money 🙏

A Flavorful Journey at Desi hype Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Review: I recently had the pleasure of dining at [Desi Hype] @pinner road and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The star of the show, of course, was the biriyani. The menu offered a wide variety of options, each with its own unique blend of spices and flavors. I opted for the traditional chicken biriyani, and it exceeded all my expectations. The fragrant basmati rice was perfectly cooked and infused with aromatic spices, while the tender chicken pieces were succulent and full of flavor. The balance of spices was impeccable, creating a harmonious explosion of taste with every bite. It was evident that the chefs at [Biriyani Restaurant] take great pride in their craft.. Aside from the biriyani, the restaurant also offers an array of delectable appetizers and sides. The samosas were crispy and filled with a deliciously spiced potato mixture, while the raita provided a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the main course. The portions were generous, ensuring that no one leaves the restaurant feeling unsatisfied.. The service at Desi hype was exceptional. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions. They made sure that every aspect of our dining experience was taken care of, from promptly refilling our water glasses to ensuring that our food was served piping hot. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and comfortable. The decor was tastefully done, with warm lighting and comfortable seating arrangements. The overall atmosphere was relaxed, making it an ideal place for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Lastly, the prices at [Desi Hype] were reasonable, considering the quality and quantity of the food served. The value for money was excellent, and I left the restaurant feeling satisfied both in terms of taste and wallet. In conclusion, desk hype is a hidden gem for its outstanding biriyani and overall dining experience. Whether you're a biriyani enthusiast or simply looking to explore new flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable biriyani experience.

Enjoyed our new year celebrations 🍾

Good food, bar, live music, great customer service, good for family functions, plenty parking, clean restaurant with good ambience and wheelchair friendly.

Very tasty, hygienic food. Very good ambience.

I was invited to my former company's Xmas lunch, and was anticipating an enjoyable meal after reading the many good reviews for this establishment. The restaurant provides a pleasant environment but was surprisingly lacking in custom when we visited just before Xmas. Perhaps Thursday lunchtimes are not busy. The food itself was decent, but the service was appalling. Our waiter clearly struggled to cope with our party of 14. He also appeared to have a problem understanding the orders. The food - when it arrived was actually quite decent but the serving was, at best, haphazard. Most of us got more or less what we ordered, but the waiter kept coming over to check our requirements. Everyone seemed to get their meals at different times and some of the party had finished eating by the time others were served their food. It was much the same with the drink orders. If a restaurant is unable to cope with a group booking it should just not accept them. The experience was most disappointing. Were I picking up the tab I would have insisted on a discount because the poor service detracted from what would have been a nice occasion.

I usually visit this restaurant every month before the taste was too good and now it's not even worth a penny I got to know from the staff that the chefs had been replaced I have even noticed the drop in service quality for a couple of months the staff were very helpful and attentive if I talk about 3 - 4 months back but now with the food even the service is lacking. I think there are more better options available than this restaurant. The bad experience that I had faced with food was biryani I ordered biryani twice and they sent me spicy and different taste biryani I don't know what has happened to their biryani for a couple of months. Extremely disappointed!

The food which I ate 4 months ago was far more better than the recent dine in I did in this restaurant.

Had a small event, Excellent venue, food and service. Would highly recommend Had amazing time. Thanks to all management and staff ❤️❤️❤️

The best Malai Kofta in town! We love the place and particularly the veg sizzlers here. Great range of lamb and chicken curries too.

Amazing food quality and quantity both and the staff was very friendly and helpful especially Kunal the manager who looked after us so well.. Have been here few times recently and the new management is doing absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend them, especially on Friday and Saturday they have live music, and Karoke nights...real fun...

My experience at Desi hype was great. My silver necklace had fallen down the sinks drain in the restroom. The staff took an extra effort to find it for us and give us the best possible service. The food was also delicious and the ambience made our evening perfect.

I have ordered take away Hyderabad dum biryani, staff said it’s available and ready to take order. After placing order they said it’s run out but they will give fried chicken biryani. Been told if I don’t like they return the money next visit. It doesn’t even like biryani, they mix curry and plain rice and gave it to me. Went back and told them unfortunately I didn’t see the same person and no receipt. Such a waste of time and money. End up ordering some where.

An amazing experience! Thanks Kunal for the yummy food and exceptional service!

Amazing chicken biryani and tandoori chicken

Excellent place, excellent food and excellent staff ! Had great food and time there.

Went there yesterday and enjoyed the live music. Food was delectable specially the salt and pepper fish and chicken chettinna stole the show. Lovely staff with friendly and smiling faces. Definitely going back again!

Went to desi hype for an early diwali party and I absolutely loved it. The ambience, food and service was on point. Salt and pepper fish was hands down the best!

From the service to the food, very good. I would come back again.

Had an amazing party, everything was perfect. Food, drinks, ambience , service and music. All our guest enjoyed thoroughly. Good going guys.

Very Friendly staff always ready to help.I drink hot water with Mint and the bar was ready to serve that to me many bars say no but they took the extra step to look after us.

I had my daughters 16th birthday party at Desi Hype, the food was amazing and the service was 5 star. They catered to all my needs! I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is our go to place for unplanned celebrations (race wins) the restaurant management (Kunal) has been very friendly and accommodating to get us the booking for big group

Great place for indian menu great taste very good quality food and very good quantity is provided. Best is chicken fried rice & all kababs.

Ordered food for small event Excellent customer service Delicious food - everyone loved it - had many compliements! Highly recommend

I have been to this restaurant few time food was good at the 1st few times but last time food test was not to good. Service was to poor.

First impressions on overall look of restaurant & menu list is, decent enough.The Menu "booklet" itself was worn & sticky to touch.Definitely needed to wash hands afterward touching it.The lavatory area was actually decent. The starters tasted as though had been pre-made & just re-warmed & served to us.Just warm rather than hot & an overcooked look about them!? Also found a hair in the paneer 🫤!! Heard a few good recommendations so thought we'd give it a try but left extremely disappointed.Service was mediocre ... not sure why the waiters weren't jolly/smiley 🤷🏽‍♀️. Not sure if I will return to this restaurant in a hurry,although I do believe in second chances so watch this space

Nice and best food as well as best for dinner, so quit and silent.

The food is better than the majority of places l have tried in and around Harrow. The harabara kebabs were very dry and did not taste good. The rest of the veg options tasted good. We only had starters portions and they were a decent sized portions, and reasonably priced. Will try meat options next time. They were very accommodating, in separating the bills into four groups (we came as a group, but comprised of four families), as each family wanted to pay their own. They made one mistake and charged my friends item to us, but did offer to correct the bill. There is no real atmosphere, and feels almost non description, but the food was on the whole very nice. Good balance of meat and veg options. The only Indian restaurant that l have eaten at that did not cause any weird odours in the morning.

Had a great birthday celebration. Food, music and service were absolutely fantastic. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend highly!

Good food, ambience and service. Would suggest them to keep more flavours in ciders.

Food was delicious staff were amazing and very patient with our group of 26 people. Lots of veggies and vegan options

Good place to taste INDIAN FOOD with family .If you wish ,drinks are also available.

Service was good. Food is fresh. But taste could be better relative to Delhi restaurant

Amazing food Soo much care Variety of cuisine and detail Loved the starters Amazing setting ambiance and flavour One of our regular eat outs And amazing catering

The food was extremely tasty. And the good services by staff

Great Authentic Indian food, Great service For vegetarian they have lots of choices. Desi hype is the best restaurant in Harrow. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

One of the best dine in restaurants in Harrow , their service and food were too good .

We ordered Manchurian at the start, the was was salty, after that they changed it but also it was salty. Main course was good. Only feedback is that improve the service( staff was talking each-other, they were in their wold).

Food was amazing and serves was very good

Overall okay... waiters were pretty clueless for a lot of the menu related questions we had including basics around portion sizing which was odd, so there was a lot of back and forth between various members of staff to place our initial order in the first place. Originally they'd seated us on a seriously cramped table for 6 people which after we'd moved realised they would have only had to move us anyway for being next to a musician performing later in the night. Food was nice, however came in separate stages for starters so we had to state the obvious of please bring all the food together at the same time as we're a party of 6 and obviously ordering larger portion sharing dishes. Would probably say better to stick to getting a takeout from them as 2 members of our party wound up ill from that night.

Hmmm. Wouldn't want to go there again. The food was mediocre at best. Plenty of vegi choices but nothing I would like to have again.

Based on having a few takeaways from this place, we decided to visit for a sit down meal - and ended up having the worst experience. The service really lacked, with the staff having to repeat the orders numerous times before they got it right. The food was average when it did end up coming out (we had to ask at least 3 times over the space of 50 minutes). However, most of our group ended up with food poisoning and suffered for a few days after eating here. I wouldn't really recommend this place to be honest - it's great for a takeaway but we would never go back to eat in.

Nice food and good service. Can get bit loud in the restaurant once full.

Mediocre food and ambience. I tried the chaat and the harabhara kabab , neither of them tasted great. My son and husband tried the fried rice and jeera chicken, again just average. Cocktails however were good , we tried the Udta punjab and Blue velvet Margarita . Wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for the best Indian food as it is bland here. Not sure what the hype is about!

Always a pleasure to visit this place.. the food here you cant go wrong.. please do visit if in the area.. real good indian taste

Hmmm. Wouldn't want to go there again. Food was mediocre.

Great food, but they had very loud and annoying orchestra

It was Umami experience. everything was as expectation service and food preparation was so authentic. 👌 must try, all time suggestion to visit specifically Friday live music adds a lot flavor to the night. Best interests town. @desihype a finger linking delicacies.

Amazing food, cooked by a wonderful chef. No compromise in anything cooked everything to perfection! would highly recommend to anyone!

Amazing food! One of the best we have had in London, cooked by a wonderful chef. Did not compromise with anything, every cooked to the absolute best! Loved the atmosphere as well and the setting. Also wonderful working staff who served us very well. Definitely recommend to any one else :)

live singers good music thrown in

Best place to enjoy with family, The food and singers are amazing

Great service. Food was excellent!!

I went there yesterday about 14.30 and said the kitchen open till 15.00 on the website the person said only takeaway only I would tell other people don't waste your time going there.

Amazing food!! And excellent service! Clean restaurant with nice decor. Highly recommended!

Good food at modest price. The hosts are very friendly. Surely revvommend.

I was there for a Birthday party. Desi Hype chef team did not disappoint me. Starters was to my taste. Highly recommended if you like medium to spicy food.

Amazing food, there was live music which was fun , but the service wasn't so great, it was about slow and 1 of the dishes we ordered never arrived at our table, nonetheless it was a great outing

This place is now a family favourite, the food is tasty and more importantly the young children love it so makes it a convenient place for the whole family. The owner and staff are attentive. Handle big groups well, we have had groups of 14, 18 and 28 and all had a great time.

Food was tastless and cold not worth it spend so much money

This is a good family restaurant. The service is great. The food is good

Excellent service with amazing food

Lovely food however the spice needs turning down abit. Would give it 4 star but they some how burnt my chocolate souffle and served it to me burnt 🤦🏾‍♂️

Ambiance is okay, food is average not that great.

Nothing to write home about, the food was pretty below average from my Uber eats order - not really worthy of trying an eat in meal either. Such a shame

Vegi food was nice. But meat dishes were salty.

Would have given it a 5 , the food is excellent would give it a 5 but the manager seems like serious all the time, smile, communicate be frank brother life is short be happy with what you are doing. He was a bit rude but I don't really care about the customer service when the food is good. Anyways next time I will definitely come and I want to see that thin guy's smile on his face while approaching the guest. Thanks for the good food though.

Always meets the expectations with consistent taste! Authentic Indian food. Good portion size. Very quick in deliveries. Very quick table service when you visit. Good blend of flavours. Totally recommend.

Avoid Fridays; they have a very loud karaoke performances; the singers are really good but the volumes are way too high and almost made us deaf. The same set up would be amazing with just 20% less volume. As of now you forced to only listen to their cacophonous noise. Food is excellent.

What is all the hype about? Its call good. Great food and service. Loved the Chinese bhel noodles and the spinach pakoras. Give it a go. You will not be disappointed.

We have been loyal to the food, quality and ambience of Desi Hype. We have ordered food at home several times as well. Very recently we had a private party and we had ordered from Desi Hype which was liked by all our guests. We would recommend anyone who likes Indian food to try Desi Hype

Excellent food, excellent service and excellent management. We hosted a lunch after our baby shower and had the whole restaurant. Everything was seamless and the whole family loved the lunch! We will definitely be coming back!

Haven't had such an authentic Indian meal for ages. Went there really reluctantly but was surprised by both service and quality food. We went with a large group and tried most non vegetarian and seafood dishes. Whilst seafood was good, the chicken and lamb dishes complemented with basmati, naan and roti were truly outstanding 👌 Desi Hype has thought of everything including customer parking. Highly recommended place. Haven't tried their Friday music night yet but now I'm convinced I'll go there again.

We had a house party and ordered food from Desi hype. The food was amazing, everyone loved it. It was hot and nicely packed. We will definitely order again and go to the restaurant often. Highly recommended!

Desi Hype did a fantastic job catering our wedding last night. Many guests told us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Thank you Krutin & team

Very disappointed with the taste of food. Visited this place before when it was 100 degrees which was much better.

Ordered paneer tikka sizzler which arrived without gravy, just dry rice and fries...not at all value for money!

Had two separate parties with over 45people attending last year. The manager at the time Kruten was extremely helpful and catered to our large parties! The food was lovely and we will be returning again!

This restaurant is set up really nicely and with live music on friday with great singers . We were there yesterday friday and had a great time with delicious food and excellent service staff all nice and helpful so was the owner and carpark was bonus as we travelled to london and clean toilets nice one will definetely recommend and will be back thanks once again to Desi Hype

We have been to this amazing restaurant in Harrow several times and we can't praise it enough. It is the perfect place for any family celebration, lovely staff, live music on Fridays and excellent food. We always have an amazing time and highly recommended it. Megna and family!

I booked the entire venue for my Nikaah last week and I must say, I was blown away by how professional, warm, friendly and welcoming Krutan was when planning my event. We opted for the set menu which I must say was great value for money and the food as always was of priceless quality. I can’t say that I have any complaints what so ever. I’ve eaten at Desi Hype a few times in the past and I was really excited to host my event with Krutan. Him and his team really lived up to the expectation and gave myself, my husband and our loved ones a lovely reception. I would highly recommend this restaurant for all events and special occasions. The overall cleanliness and aesthetics of the restaurant are very classy and sophisticated for an intimate event. The food is to die for, my mouths watering thinking about the sev papdi chaat and butter chicken! Thank you again, I pray Allah showers limitless blessings in your earnings and makes this business a true success. Ameen 🙏🏻

Very delicious food and great service, The atmosphere was also very good.

Service was terrible. Waiters walked around with their heads down all the time so it took ages to flag anyone down. Didn't get proper glasses for water so had to use the wine glasses on the table and any time anything was brought it was just dumped on the table and then the waiters quickly ran away (even the wine was just plopped on the table, the bottle wasn't opened or poured into the glasses). The food was underwhelming too, nothing bad but nothing really good either, and most of it was a little bland to be honest. With so many better Indian restaurants relatively close by i would strongly recommend you skip this one.

We came here recently on a Wednesday. The food was very tasty, and the portions were good. Price wise, it was decent, and It was very quiet for a Wednesday, but we didn't mind. We will be definitely coming back! :)

The food was delicious and the host were friendly and courteous. Loved the tandoori mushrooms.

Great quality food and ambience
