Eastern Fire in Harrow

We had a meal on Sunday lunchtime and the food was excellent as was the service. We were made to feel welcome.

Horrible service over the phone. Called to ask about dietary requirements and they literally shouted back at me over the phone.

A real hidden treasure in Harrow with true Malaysian hospitality - I felt like I was back in Kuala Lumpur. It's clear how passionate chef Ravi and his wife Raji are about good food and feeding their customers well. I initially ordered a takeaway but felt so at home that I ended up having a cup of tea with the owners. Delicious food and great service.

Inside the restaurant is amazing and shows famous restaurants in malaysia. The cook and waiters are very kind and also speaks in different languages like tamil. The food is amazing and they also prepare food as per your spicy level. The service is really good. Though it takes like a few minutes. The food tastes amazing. For a delicious meal, it's worth waiting just for few minutes. I hope to come back there again.

Quieter when we went but non stop deliveries going on. The food was absolutely stunning - authentic Sri lankan and/or Malaysian delicacies and well worth a visit to this neck of the woods rather than staying central. You could really taste that the food had been freshly prepared rather than mass produced and reheated. Stand outs were the nasi goreng, the mutton kothu and the butter chicken which my children adored. We will definitely be back. Service was really warm and friendly too - such a hidden gem!

We throughly enjoyed our meal at Eastern Fire. The food was amazing, fresh and the tastes were authentic. We enjoyed the nasi goreng, roti canai, mutton curry and Char Kway Teow. I’m writing this review on my second visit in a week. The atmosphere and owners were very welcoming and gave us a complimentary dessert as well.

Had a lovely meal out with the family, the Roti Canai tasted just as they do in Malaysia, the Chef Ravi was a lovely man who made the experience very easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend! We will be back!

We had food with my friends on Saturday and the food and service were very good. The chef and the owner took care of our menu personally and we have a great time!

Nice hospitality but poor quality food , had egg shells 4 or 5 times in the mee goreng , squid fry had 4-5 squid’s with mostly onion fry in it to compensate for the quantity ,table cloths were stained and new plates that were given to us had some residue of dry food . I understand it’s being run as a family but poor professionalism as it appeared that some office work was done in the dining area with laptops and files all over that table . Did not raise these concerns with the restaurant as we won’t be returning back .

The Malaysian hospitality is what makes this restaurant stand out. The food is delicious, made with care and served with a smile. It was value for money and not expensive 🫰. A good experience means, I will definitely be going back with more friends. Thank you Mr and Mrs Ravi.

This restaurant serves authentic Malaysian and Sri Lankan cuisine with lots of passion. Free to discuss and choose your dish, vegetarian options available.

Great Malaysian tastes from a family run restaurant. The owner Ravi and his wife are so friendly in true Malaysian style and will make sure the dishes are to your liking. If you're not accustomed to Malaysian culture, you may find your food being ordered for you. But if you are happy to accommodate, you will enjoy it. 3 star on atmosphere because it depends again if you're used to the authentic feel or not

Held a birthday celebration in this restaurant. Family run, very friendly owners, warm and very accommodating. Guests highly commended on the food! Thank you Ravi and Raji for making it a celebration to remember!

Ordered milk aapam - it tastes salty! Sorry I won’t be returning here

Delicious authentic food and excellent service by the owner ... highly recommended

A cute little discovery of great food and personal touch. Was pleasantly surprised with the entire experience from the time we entered, catering to our dietary requirements and children's pallette it was all so ygrear. The food was really good and tasted authentic indeed. Will come back soon.

Lovely food, the Roti with mutton curry, chilli chicken and nasigoran went down very well.

Excellent food and great service - Another great visit to enjoy the authentic Malaysian and Sri Lankan food. Great Hoppers, Roti, Nethali Pittu, and seafood.

I feel like I have to leave another review of this place as I just revisited and the food blew me away like it does every time… just absolutely mouth watering, delicious! I go for the roti canai, the fried mutton, the lamb varaval, and the masala fried fish. I go cause I like it extra spicy and this place cuts it like no other in London!

Food: It was ok, but nothing that wowed us. We felt the portions were a little small relative to the price that was given. The rotis were nice, but the chicken noodles and the mutton curry me and my friend had both felt there was a missing punch to both those dishes. In regards to the noodles, we were unsure about whether or not they were freshly made and in regards to the mutton curry, I personally wished the meat chunks were bigger. Service: The owner and the owners wife were nice and gave some decent recommendations and made an effort to have conversation with us. Atmosphere: It was ok. It was very quiet when we entered and it was only our table with another entering near the tail end of our meal so it was hard to judge. Our overall experience tonight was: 'not the best, but not the worst.

It is a small restaurant where you get Srilankan and Malaysian food. The owner and his wife runs the restaurant. They are quite friendly and service is food. Food taste is good and authentic. Service was fast we got our food with in few minutes.

I can not recommend this place highly enough. If you like Malaysian food you won’t find anywhere better in the UK. The head chef (Mr Ravi) takes a lot of pride in his work and it is evident in the food. The char kway teow is second to none and takes me back to Penang. My family and I are always made to feel extra welcome and the service is always fantastic.

My wife and I went to Eastern Fire for the first time tonight. All the reviews about it are right. The food is lovely, as is the service and the value for money. The owner was really helpfull, explaining the menu and helping us choose a lovely meal. We will definitely return and can highly recommend Eastern Fire to anyone looking for a really good meal in or around Rayners Lane.

This restaurant has such a nice atmosphere! The food is lovely and the staff are so friendly. They’re not afraid to open a conversation which made the experience so much better. I highly recommend!!

The food was amazing, and the setvice was even better. There was a great atmosphere in the restaurant and all the staff were very friendly. I loved it there and would definitely recommend it :)

Very nice restaurant , really nice staff and the eastern fire special fish was very flavoursome!!!!!

I ordered take way and and I went to pick up food the owner very rude and aggressive To me.because I ordered uber about month ago food was not testy I reviewed on uber app. When I went yesterday the owner was rude and aggressive to me. I never go again. please don't go this restaurant I'm customer. you have to be nice with customer if you banned me why did you served? 🤔 😜

Delicious food and very good service.. we really enjoyed thank you.

Absolutely FABULOUS, DELICIOUS food! Chef Ravi & his family suggested great dishes customized for each one of us. And Chef Ravi cooked these for us. So flavorful & so unusual to get great Malaysian & Sri Lankan cuisine in a family-run restaurant. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely delicious food! I can't belive how good the mutton curry and butter chicken was. Just had it for my lunch. Lots of meat and very delicately spiced, thick sauce! I'm coming back tomorrow! 100/100

Excellent food and great service. Visit when you can food is great. Friendly people and busy area. Parking is fine

Delicious food. Best restaurant I've been to in the area

Malaysian comfort food, chicken rendeng and roti canai are my go to!

Very bad experience with small kids.

We visited the place for last minute dinner plans and we were not disappointed. Food was amazing, service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommended!

Long time till see beautiful and clean restaurant top food excellent food

Oh my god.... Why isn't this gem publicised.... The food is really authentic and mirrors the standard of malayisa, Singapore... Ravi the owner is excellent in his hospitality and gives you a homely feel.... A big tick in your 'must try list'... I can assure better than some central London based resturants. Loads of vegetarian options.

After informing the waiter that I'm vegan, the owner/chef saw me. He asked if I liked soya chicken. After replying yes, he recommended a noodle dish with chicken soya, which was delicious. I also ordered 2 poppadoms and one of my most favourite beers, Lion Stout, imported from Sri Lanka. It is very strong at 8.8% and is available in two sizes here. I had two large 660ml bottles of it. After my meal, the owner asked if I had enjoyed the meal and I answered yes. Great service, well worth visiting and very close to Rayners Lane underground station.

Not great experience. The food seemed a bit stale and the overall impression of the restaurant is that it's gone down a bit and shabby though clean. We felt pressured to order more than we wanted and it wasn;t cheap.

Food is super tasty, owner is polite and caring about our experience and preferences. We wil definitely come back there

Amazing food and great company! Definitely will be returning back 😁

Great tasting food and customer service. Must try.

Being very familiar with both Malaysian and Sri Lankan cuisine, Eastern Fire didn't quite meet the mark. The flavors of the char Kway teow was close but they did not use the broad flat noodles which is synonymous with the dish. The roti canai and the chicken curry was good but typically the chicken curry is made with brown meat not white meat (which doesn't make it as flavorful). The chicken fried rice was very basic. It wasn't bad but definitely there is room for improvement.

Never had Malaysian food before that was my first time and for sure it is not gonna be the last. Very tasty food. The best kitchen in town

Excellent Malaysian food, if u r a Malaysian and u missing ur Malaysian cooked meals, come here and re-engage yourself with yummy roti canai and mee goreng! Highly recommend!

We had a multi generation family Birthday celebration for my mother's 90th Birthday. We were a group of 20 and pre ordered a set meal of all our family favourites. Eastern Fire did not disappoint. The food was delicious. Ravi and his wife were welcoming and gave my mum special treatment, which was really appreciated. We order lots of dishes including egg hoppers, mee gorang, chicken fried rice, fish curry, chicken curry, Roti and dosa to name a few. I recommend it all and my mum loved it too. We will be back I'm sure.

Fantastic , a little slice of Malaysia on a plate , we did go a little over the top with what we ordered but it was well worth it the ikan bilis fried rice , mutton murtabak , butter chicken and crab curry , it was all amazing , tasty aromatic and full of flavour , nice fresh crab “diamond crab” which had more than enough meat on it for the dish. I and Su thought the fried rice was one of the best we have tried in the UK The owners Ravi and Raji a great husband and wife team , it’s almost like going home and chatting with family as they are so welcoming. This is the second visit as first time my wife took me for brunch of egg paratha (roti canai) with mutton curry and kopi tarik and squid sambal and kway teow which I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone as an excellent gateway dish into Malaysian food. There is ample parking in rayners lane train station which is a simple 3 minute walk away I mention this as people worry about parking which isn’t an issue.

What a lovely place to eat, fresh, tasty food and we felt so welcome too

Small but very welcoming and accomodating Malaysian and Srilankan restaurant. Food and service were extremely good. The Malaysian chef adds some love with every dish he makes and has a personal touch with his customers. Loved the aesthetics and detailing in the restaurant and had an overall happy experience. Would definitely recommend one of the Malaysian special dishes. My second visit to this place wasn't as great and here is why, I have attached my receipt and they charge and extra £1.50 as open food charge? The only thing me and my other two friends got extra that's not on the bill was 3 tap waters. So can you please explain this extra charge Eastern fire? Also, the service was very rushed and not very friendly, a big downfall from my first experience, yet we still paid the service charge. Thank you for your response, but we did not order an extra egg as you said it came with an egg already. What you see on the receipt is all we got. Also, we did not have the chance to clarify the receipt, as the experience and service was so rushed. And as for a bargain, that is something for us to say, thank you very much.

Called to reserve a table for family to have dinner together, but was rudely told “No Pushchairs/Prams” allowed. Makes it impossible to go with an infant. Thought a family run business would be more accommodating and considerate.

Very nice Malaysian food! My favourite was Cha Kueh Tiaw! Very friendly Malaysian owner/chef!

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE & AGGRESSIVE OWNER! I WOULD GIVE IT '0' STARS IF POSSIBLE! Placed an order in Ubereats. We made notes about an allergy and also to make the food vegetarian (as the ubereats menu does not clarify whether each dish is vegetarian or not). The owner's wife called us and confirmed the order and said they are able to make it. 30 minutes later, the order was declined. We called to enquire why it was cancelled after a confirmation 30 minutes earlier, we were told that they are too busy to meet our allergy and dietary request. If they had cancelled the order immediately, I would be fine with that but what is not acceptable is to first confirm it and then cancel it just 30 minutes later. When I spoke to the owner to explain the issue, he kept dismissing me when I was in the middle of speaking saying 'LISTEN HERE!' and was aggressive with his tone and other statements he made. When I told him that I will write a review about my poor experience, he said that he does not care and he has enough customers. I always like to support small businesses especially in these trying times but I cannot support one where customer service (to put the term loosely) is so poor that it is infringing on bullying customers who have dietary/allergy requirement.

Not only is this the best Malaysian/Sri-lankam restaurant around..it is the best restaurant ever! The chef and his wife, the hostess make for a wonderful team. The food is a perfect marriage of spice and flavour. I had the prawn Sambal, fried mutton, Aubergine, Okra, roti canai and rice. To be honest, I could have kept eating... The food is that good, I cannot wait to go again and try the other dishes

On Saturday (15th Oct) I visited Eastern Fire with a group of friends, to celebrate a birthday, and we had a very enjoyable experience. We had last been to this restaurant a few years ago, just before the pandemic lockdowns, and we had good memories of that visit. Once again, we were impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food, as well as the hospitality of the owners/management who were most friendly and attentive. I'm pleased to give Eastern Fire the highest rating, and I wish continued success to this establishment. Well done!

If you like it spicy and full of flavor then this is one of the best restaurants I could recommend in west London. Spicy fried mutton with fresh crispy parratha. Fried mackerels topped with green chilli salsa are just a few of my favorites!

This restaurant serves authentic Malaysian food. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favour and have the coconut and jaggery hopper. Yum! The owners are super friendly too. Thanks Ravi for the lovely meal🙂

Very very poor food which really disappointed me n my family... this is not at all Malaysian food. Foods are very expensive but not worth for the money at all. Too much salt in all my dishes which I hv ordered. I will never ever recommend this restaurant to anyone n will never go back there again..🤮😡 blady waste of money

Celebrated a quiet Wedding Anniversary there. Chanced a first time visit....NO REGRETS!!! Authentic South East Asian cuisine with friendly hospitality. Coming from Singapore it reminded me of home cooked hawker style food from back home with a focused variety of food from Malaysia/Singapore and more!!!...

The best Malaysian food to try in Harrow Rayners Lane. The taste of the food was in a different level and I really enjoyed the food. I had the Mee Goreng, IT WAS THE BEST I HAD SO FAR… and the owner Mr.Ravi was really great with his hospitality and his recommendations. I would like to recommend everyone to try the restaurant.

The best Malaysian food we have ever tasted. We were greeted by Raji with open arms even though they were about to close the afternoon session. The customer service was amazing, very friendly and recommended some food for the children. The food was absolutely delicious. Chef Ravi came out after preparing our food checked if everything was upto standard, very friendly guy. Had a good conversation with us. Even though we stayed abit longer than the stated closing time, they never rushed us to leave. Very clean place. The hoppers were so delicious, the best I have tasted specially the jaggery hoppers. Will definitely come back again with the whole family. Highly recommended. THANK YOU EASTERN FIRE for an amazing experience.

We visited as a large family group and the food was excellent. Great variety to choose from. Order twice as many roti as you think you might eat as they are totally moorish.

Mutton varayal was excellent. Nasi goreng was great. Friendly and helpful management. Will definitely visit again to try more of the menu.

Excellent food and even better company. The chef was very welcoming and warm. Would definitely be returning again. The staff were just as lovely. A gem of a restaurant.

Great meal with a friend, tasty curries and flaky roti canai. Especially liked the spinach and dhal, vegetarian chicken curry and bhindi curry! Ordered way too much and had a beer to boot!

As a native Sri Lankan living in the US, I was craving some authentic Sri Lankan food and Eastern Fire exceeded my expectations. Enjoyed mutton rolls, fish cutlets, deviled shrimp and squid, fried mutton, string hoppers with coconut chutney, milk hoppers, fish curry and Malaysian...

What a fantastic Resturant the food speaks for itself. We walked in and we’re met by a kind, food enthusiast, friendly larger than life character who happened to be the chef and owner Ravi and his lovely Raji Both greeted us with open arms I said how I love to taste new foods and delicacies from around the world. Ravi asked what’s dishes do I like I mentions a nice fish curry would be good. This was the BEST Malaysian food I have every tasted. It’s mouth watering. A special pace that we are lucky to have locally.

Flavourful food and run by a personable team. We will definitely eat here again

One of the best Malaysian restaurant, the owner takes the order personally and check if he meets your standard. This is dedication of delivering the best service. Freshly made and see you next time la!

Amazing food and amazing people. The family restaurant is one of the best in the world and they never hesitate to please. Recommended to everyone. See you soon... Leo

Disastrous customer service both the people are rude , served a wrong dish and later blame the customers,, charming

Beautifully made genuinely authentic food. I had a blast!..Dishes(nathali, egg and plain appam) and were fresh served hot and delivered with love from a wonderful family. Thanks. Will try the Malaysian fish next time!

Ordered everything the lady suggested: Prawn Sambal, Roti Chanai, Nasi Goreng and Milk Hopper. It was all so delicious! I’d especially recommend the sambal, which was so chock full of flavour! Service was lovely and the staff were so kind, felt just like walking into a big family kitchen.

The most genuine, authentic food and company you could ask for - the best flavours especially the Nasi goreng, fried fish and the appams. Ravi and his wife were fantastic hosts and made us feel welcome, like we were dining right in the heart of Malaysia. A spot we will definitely return to in the future!

Delicious food and friendly service 😊 - AM

Food is super tasty, owner is polite and caring about our experience and preferences. We wil definitely come back there

We simply love the flavoursome food here. Can’t complain about any dish going wrong. The food is prepared absolutely to the requirements we ordered. We pre-ordered our food for Sunday Father’s Day lunch visiting with my cousins family. All the dishes that we ordered were...

Delicious, freshly prepared Sri Lankan/Malaysian food. The fried fish with sambal, aubergine curry, chicken curry, dhal curry and dosai and egg hoppers were all excellent. We had chendol to finish off and this was very good too. The milk and jaggery hoppers and putu mayam...

We had mee goreng, char kway teow, chendol and sweet appam. The whole meal was delicious and truly authentic in spiciness and taste. Excellent fast service and very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Tasty food and very welcoming owner.

We walked through the door, soon to discover it’s a family owned restaurant. Ravi greeted us with a big welcoming genuine smile. Ravi and his wife were so helpful with ordering and selection to match our tastes. We had salted-lime drink (so refreshing), tiger beer,...

This restaurant does the best Malaysian food in the UK by far. Prawn sambal is outstanding.

very friendly food is good also

Tasty food, good flavours, nice selection on menu and felt welcomed by the restaurant owners

Excellent, very homely vibe, felt looked after. Delicious food with many vegetarian options, will be back again as soon as possible.

I found this place from it's great reviews, and I can confirm that they are well deserved. It was a lovely meal. Try the char kway teow. It was so tasty I ordered another to take home for tomorrow!!

Loved this place after finally going. The crab curry tasted authentic and home cooked! All the meals come with an inviting level of spice that wakes up the senses. The milk and jaggeri hopper was a delight to end the meal. 100% recommend. Also nothing can beat the hospitality of the lovely owner!

Happened to walk past this restaurant and thought we’d give it a try. Wasn’t sure what to order at first but the owners was really helpful with the recommendations. Ordered the prawn Sambal with the roti, which we would highly recommend and go back for! We was too full to order dessert, but the owner gave us a sweet hoppers on the house to try. And we were so glad we tried it before we finished our meal. Definitely will come back and highly recommend!

Avoid this place at all costs. Owner of the restaurant are very rude. They refused to let me and my family in with a buggy in the restaurant and they advertise as family friendly, I would understand for them to refuse if they were fully booked, they had no customers and they refused to let us in. Don't be fooled by their advertisement . We were absolutely disappointed by them.

My wife is Sri Lankan and we have Sri Lankan /Malay relatives so this kind of food is known to us and much coveted. We were passing by and was excited to see a restaurant advertising our favourite cuisines (Sri Lankan / Malay) under one...

Fantastic flavours, hospitality and home food feeling. Highly recommended!

The owners were really engaging, helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was nice and the food was really good. Would definitely recommend 👍

The owner is obviously proud of his restaurant and rightly so. We were up in West London before a Wembley final on a Sunday and wanted something different. Ravi and his wife were charming, informative about the food and we had an excellent lunch. The...

Excellent family run restaurant. We visited on a Wedneday evening at 5pm. We orderded starters, mains and desserts from the Malsysian menu. All dishes were great portion sizes and very tastefull and authentic - we have visited Malaysia before. Chef Ravi and his wife were...

Good taste , interesting names and dishes

Wonderfully surprised to find this Malaysian/Sri Lankan restaurant near us. It felt very authentic with a homely feel to it, from the decor to chef Ravi and his wife who were very friendly. All the food we ordered was soo yummy and we look forward...

Great family run restaurant. Fantastic food and recommendations. On the spicy side so be careful with the spice level you let them know. All dishes we ordered were top notch with great flavour. Had the Fish, chicken 65, Nasi Goreng, chicken varuval and pilau rice. Had a great time. Lovely food. Personal touch with the chef coming out to check on their customers. 1 star cut because there was no soap in the mens toilet and the hand dryer wasn’t working either. Recommended restaurant.

Excellent food and service authentic Malaysian food, like my mum use to do. Ravi was very welcoming . We will be back as soon as we can.
