Social Dhaba - Hatch End in Harrow

The food was amazing. Best Indian restaurant in London. We particularly recommend the crispy bhindi, Rogan gosht, paneer with spinach and yellow dahl. We sat in the front section by the door which was a little chilly at first but the manager kindly turned up the heating, and it became a nice little private dining area. A special mention must go to our server Chinmay who was extremely attentive and charming. Continually attended our table with a smile and no request was too much. Can't wait to come back.

Tasty food especially the vegetable tawa & chutneys served in a clean attractive environment with vibrant atmosphere. Managed by Shekhar with his able & friendly staff , Priya, Riddima, Sakshi & others. Parking can be a problem. 2.8.24 Tasty food & excellent service by staff members.

We recently celebrated our anniversary with a group of 10 friends at Social Dhaba and were absolutely blown away by the exceptional service, especially from our lead host waitress, Sakshi. From the moment we arrived, Sakshi was incredibly attentive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our evening special. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering thoughtful recommendations and always checking in with a smile. Her attention to detail and genuine care truly elevated our celebration. Thank you, Sakshi, for making our anniversary so memorable! We'll definitely be back."

Lovely food & service! Sakshi was especially kind & welcoming Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Desi food & experience

Great food and service particularly from Sakshi - thank you! 😊

Thank You so much sakshi for your great service

A quick dinner plan turned into a delicious meal! The customer service was excellent and very accommodating for our group of three. I had the Dhaba Fish Masala—so flavorful and incredibly moreish! The only downside was that the music was a little too loud, so we had to raise our voices to chat.

We had a great time, this was my third time coming here. Although we're not vegetarians, our favourite dish was the Masala Mogo. Priya really took care of us and made us feel comfortable.

Excellent food, service and ambiance.

Had another great experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, as always – fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. A special shoutout to Priya for her amazing customer service. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. It’s that kind of service that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!

Had a lovely time at Social Dhaba. The food was lovely. Thank you to our server Priya for the great service :)

We had a lovely evening here last night (13/04/25) celebrating both my wife and daughters birthdays. I popped into the restaurant in the morning to make the reservation because I was concerned about the number of people on our booking but the lady (apologies , did not catch your name) confirmed the reservation was in place with a deposit. We were a family of 9 and we were looked after very well by the team at Social Dhaba, special shout out to Chinmay for his patience and making sure we were refreshed throughout the evening, thank you. Also for arranging for the birthday cake to be brought down at the end of the meal but then brought back up to the kitchen to be re-boxed because we all had such a lot of food that none of us could manage anymore but the ladies got to blow out the candles 😁. A thoroughly enjoyable evening had by all, this was my wife and I's second visit to the restaurant and certainly won't be the last.

Food was okay but quite pricey. We didn't have drinks

Really good service. Waiters did check we were happy with our meal multiple times, very attentive. Good portion size for the food. The mogo we ordered was a little dry but otherwise the food was really good. Priya was an excellent waitress, very polite and attentive to us. Would go again

I usually find starters to be the most flavoursome dishes on an Indian menu, but I found our starters to be mediocre. The dessert menu includes more than the typical options, so I thought I'd try the mango and coconut cake. Unfortunately, the name was more appealing than the taste. Despite the food not bowling me over, I'm willing to give the place another go - largely due to my friends who do enjoy the food. Perhaps next time, I'll have had the avocado chaat!

I had order panner chilly and one shahi panner. The taste was good. But the quality of panner was the worst I have ever ate in my life.

I had a really lovely dining experience here. The food was tasty with a good variety of options and good sized portions. The drinks were also really nice and served promptly and nicely garnished. We had a very friendly and lovely server Priya who took good care of us. I also liked the ambience and atmosphere and was very happy with the service. I will definately be coming back here in the near future for a lovely meal and dining experience.

We tried this place for the first time, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The service was prompt without being rushed. The food was the real star, every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You could tell a lot of care went into the preparation. Everything tasted clean, well-balanced, and perfectly seasoned. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we’ll come back. Highly recommend this gem. The only downside would be that some items felt overpriced when they didn’t need to be,for example, £5.50 for a single naan felt a bit steep.

It was a pleasure being at SD I was amazed with the ambience and the food but there was one guy name joy made my dinner even better by giving recommendations about the food and paring my cocktail along y meal what a asset to hve joy as a employee. We will come again definitely

Myself and a friend visited a few days ago and we had a really good experience. The venue is stunning - the decor is absolutely decadent and it is stylish, high end and captivating. The service we received from Ridhima was exceptional - she was really friendly, helpful and easy to get on with. The food came quite quickly and it was decent, it's not the best desi food that I've had - it missed the key flavour and kick that I look for (traditional taste) and it is a little pricey however I guess you are paying for the experience. It's a beautiful place and if the food can be improved, we would certainly be back for more.

Food was very delicious.priya was serving us and she was so good she is really asset to this company

Delicious meal, highly recommend. Excellent service, thank you Simona!

I was there with my colleagues and had great time with so delicious food

We’ve been twice, first time was amazing, second time good but not as good. I would probably give it one more try to be sure but in general decent good and a nice atmosphere. A little on the pricey side though

Excellent service (special mention-Kirit) plus great taste with lots of varieties to choose from. I had a great time with family and friends. Will definitely recommend to try this place.

Went for a family meal. Food is OK, 5/10, nothing special. Cocktails are very weak. Atmosphere is good.

Family get together, a mixed review having spoken to the whole family. The mixed grill is a must, however we felt the mains were over priced for the portion size. The additional let down was the glass of flavoured lemonade (syrup and standard bottled lemonade) @ £6 each!

Visited Social Dhaba yesterday to celebrate Mother’s Day - our first time dining here, and it certainly won’t be the last! Given its popularity, we made a reservation in advance, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant has a fantastic vibe - true to its name, it’s a lively and social spot. The staff were exceptionally polite and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Tradition, upgraded. The décor and ambience alone make this place worth a visit, blending modern elegance with a touch of tradition. Now, onto the food - simply outstanding! Every dish was packed with bold, authentic flavours. The mixed grill is a must-try - perfectly cooked and easily enough for three to share. The veg Manchurian was spot on, and the generous portion sizes make the experience even better. Looking forward to returning soon!

Dinner with colleaaagues on a weekday-loveeed the food and the service-definitely recommend it and will be back with my family for more👏🏻good vibes, everything tasted good -methi murgh ,chicken tawa garlic naaan defo recommend -

3rd time here. Fails to disaapoint. Great food. Reasonable price and great service. Ankit served us diligently. Will always co.e back here for a fantastic Indian meal. Oh also the music was incredible! Some wonderful Reggae classics where playing. What a vibe!

Not to noisy coykd hear everyone speak in our group of 7 people

Very honest question here, Why you charge £4.95 for a bottle of water?

Delicious authentic menu and fantastic service

Great food, service can be a little haphazard but ultimately the food makes up for it

Had a really nice experience at Social Dhaba, we went for Lunch just as it opened around 12:30pm. So relevantly quiet but was nice with staff really engaging. We ordered the Non-Veg Thali , Masala Omelette, Chilli Paneer, Mogu Chips and Chilli Paneer. Everything was super nice and cooked well. thalli honestly could be enough for 2. Plenty of Naan and Rice companies by a variety of small plates. Good pricing as well for Lunch Menu and they had some good options. We spent roughly around £27 per person and had plenty of food. Would come again.

Best food and service by chinmany...His is the big asset to the company.

Lovely ambience,food was authentic.service extraordinary chinmayi was very attentive, friendly, smiling throughout service.btownie stars for this specially.

Brilliant quality, customer service. I went with a friend, modernise place it was very busy, main dish authentic taste. I definitely recommend. Location Area, posh place.

Lovely service. Joy provided amazing service and was really friendly face too!

Amazing food and service I have been here multiple times and can literally see that consistency in what they are serving Really appreciate the hospitality of staff and management

Great experience for dinner and was looked after. It’s a place you could bring families for special occasions or casual dining with friends. The starters were really good.

Nice atmosphere but they dont know what mild is food was far too spicy and too many chillis so unnecessary even after informing them of my medical condition

Amazing meal and service proper nice Indian food very authentic and not cobbled together imo amazing! Have to book and it is very expensive for drinks but it’s worth it for the food.

Thank you for the wonderful experience! Would definitely recommend Social Dhaba. They accommodated us very kindly, and despite not having a booking, we managed to get a table- even though it's a very busy place. Service, food and atmosphere were excellent.

This place is amazing! They have good customer service and delicious food!

Love the food here. Generous portions. Good atmosphere.

I recently attended this restaurant for the first time, the food here was amazing. The service was also on point. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family. Lovely little restaurant with a nice atmosphere.

Delicious food, great service and good atmosphere. A bit pricey place, however worth it.

The food was very delicious! We ordered chicken 65, vegetable Manchurian, pani puri and Punjabi samosa! Each item was perfectly spiced and delicious. The masala Chai was one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant. Service was excellent, and the team went above and beyond to fulfil our wishes. Would highly recommend the place.

Had a lovely evening meal. Food, service and atmosphere where great. Staff were friendly. We ordered the mixed grill and it was excellent. Well cooked, tasty and good portions. Only downside was the group of people behind us were very loud which disturbed a number of tables. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning there soon.

Food is good but pricey. Screaming unruly kids on tables near us spoilt the evening for us.

We had heard a lot about this place and decided to visit the place for a Sunday lunch. The place is very spacious and a wonderful ambience. The decor is chic and modern with an ethnic touch. The service was attentive and good. The cocktails had a desi touch and were well made. The starters were very tasty and good portions. The palak patta chaat was a standout. We were slightly disappointed with the mains both in terms of taste and quantity. Over all a good place for some quality Indian food.

Food was incredible, huge variety of dishes and some catered to a peanut allergy. Service was good considering a large table. Busy, noisy and bustling atmosphere at peak times on weekends so not for everyone but we enjoyed. Palak paneer was next level but the masala tea is not the best. Would 100% go back.

Slow service even on a Tuesday , very blunt food .

Was lovely experience, from our welcome to leaving, everyone was so good, polite. Food was amazing. Recommend to book the place in advance as it’s always full during weekends.

We thought of going to a different place for a celebration and we found this Social Dhabha. It was a right decision as we really enjoyed it. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Loved it.

Highly recommend one of the best places to I have eaten.mind blowing food and lovely taste

We ordered a takeaway through the app for collection, and the food was excellent and though on the pricier side the food justified it

Ist time, staff very accomodating, service professional, food delicious and plenty of it, vegetarian variety

Always a great place for dinner with friends . Food is top notch and the staff amazing both Sakshi and Shekhar were amazing last night thanks for making it brilliant as always !

The food ok. The service and atmosphere was so good. They really take care of their customers well. Will sure visit again.

Social Dhaba is a delightful spot that brings warmth and joy to dining. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm welcome and a team of attentive staff, always smiling and spontaneous in their service. The ambiance is cozy, making it the perfect place for a relaxed meal. The food quality is impressive, with the starters stealing the show – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each bite reflects careful preparation and a love for authentic flavors. Whether you’re catching up with friends or celebrating with family, Social Dhaba ensures a memorable experience. With excellent service, a comfortable setting, and great food, it’s a must-visit. Highly recommended!

We had been wanting to try Social Dhaba for quite some time, and it has the potential to become our favourite high-end Indian restaurant. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff who took us to our table. They were attentive, polite, and made a special effort to engage with my kids. For starters, we ordered the Basil Paneer Tikka and the Mixed Grill Platter. Both dishes were bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection with a lovely char. The lamb chops stood out as the highlight of the platter, tender and juicy. For our main course, we chose the Murgh Makhanwala, which was creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet, and the Hariyali Gosht, had marinated lamb tikka that was tender. Although I would have preferred it spicier, both dishes were rich, aromatic, and had a generous amount of meat. Portion sizes were substantial, and the prices were reasonable. The only downside was the naan. At £4.74, the garlic naan was pathetically small and cut into 3 little pieces. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent food. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

Thank you ankit for good service and food was amazing here enjoyed alot.

I had my birthday celebration here. First time at SD. I will definitely return. Although bit far from Guildford

Had a lovely lunch at Social Dhaba today. Decor is modern, comfortable and very clean. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The service was very efficient. The menu was very varied and a modern fusion. Food was totally delicious and good portion sizes.

We had really good time today and service was so good. Chinmay from Goa like his smile when he was serving us. Very polite and friendly. Love it and will be back soon

Food is amazing, service is okay, manager is very welcoming. Price is bit high for starters and drink. However food taste amazing.

evrything is excellent but service they doing partially for ( some people they didn't given us drinking water even after i ask for and waiters know that we don't have cutlery they also then didn't give to us

I had an amazing experience! The atmosphere was very lively and vibrant, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The food was incredibly tasty, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The staff was exceptionally polite and helpful, always ensuring everything was perfect. I’m definitely going back again soon

The waitress was attentive and made the dining experience very enjoyable. The food was good however portions were slightly on the small side.

Great food, best service ever, staff very friendly, one guy kamal was very good person, nice suggestions and great time there

Ya it was nice overall..! Definitely one of the best in area.. you won’t be disappointed..! Liked the seating set up.. Good service..!

Beautiful Indian Kitchen in NW London. Service was incredible and atmosphere was great. Food is good quality and tasty. It was a bit dearer than I was expecting for this part of London but guessing that due to the investment in the establishment. Was well managed in run up to the xmas period - although I was a bit confused that the service wasn't included as standard in the bill - the staff who were working tirelessly weren't given their due and had to point this out when the bill came. The other thing to point out is finding parking nearby in the evening is a small nightmare, so by mindful of this. Try to arrive early to find parking. All in all a great evening had by all, will be visiting again.

Really impressed by this place being able to cater to vegan and gluten-free diets with a couple of starter options (apart from mogo, which is usually the only thing other North Indian restaurants do). Ambience and service excellent too. Would go again if others I was going with were non-vegetarian. As with all North Indian restaurants this place is expensive.

Service is really good, Kumar ji served us and he is great asset to the venue. The starters (chat and kurkuri bhindi) are recommended, aim dishes are good to have but the spice level is strong. They can moderate the chillies level if you request.

Great Service, brilliant design in the restaurant very contemporary. As for starters, the kebabs were out of the freezer and warmed up, was not expected to pay a premium price. Told the waiter as a feedback.

2 out of 3 of us had stomach issues the next day. Food tastes amazing though and atmosphere was great.

Starters were excellent- highly recommend the salmon and the Dhaba chicken 65 to start. The chilli fish is also very good. For mains I recommend the saag paneer and the Garlic naans. Given how good the food is, definitely book in advance.

This dhaba provides the best ambience for having food and my friend Priya suggested me about this social dhaba. Everymeal is on reasonable price.Thanks priya

Great service by joy at the bar lovely ambiance definitely coming back

Great food, fantastic service, Friendly welcome …. Our first time here and will surely be visiting again. Great table service from Kamal and team 👍
