The Connoisseur Indian Restaurant in Harrow

It’s a shame could’ve been good… wanted it to be good, but… ordered Lamb Rogan Josh, it was mostly gravy and only about 6 pieces of lamb. Was also a bit on the salty side. Was hungry so, I ate it and could taste the potential but ultimately it failed. That said my partner loved her Chicken Tika Masala. So like I said, all could have been good but only some was. Will I order from there again? Hmmm… not sure tbh. Possibly, but nothing with lamb in it, cos they are obviously skimping on costs.

We visited the Connoisseur on the 19th of July 2024 as we heard new management had taken over the Restaurant. The food and service was excellent and really enjoyed the evening. We should be revisiting again soon. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet and really enjoyed the Tranquility compared to other Indian restaurants we have been to where you can’t hear yourself. Talk to your friends so if you want a good experience and a nice relaxing evening I highly recommend the concert.

Lovely food and even lovelier service... the 2 servers and chefs coped with 10 of us ordering different starters and main with no problem. My prawn puri and chicken passanda were just gorgeous and there were positive murmurings from the whole group. It's not the cheapest but for good reason - it's well worth a visit.

Very expensive for small portions (£5.50 for small rice? £4.50 for a naan?), but the quality of the butter chicken was excellent. We ordered the chicken tikka masala as well, but they didn’t deliver it (instead bringing another butter chicken). We have been offered a refund for the missing item so no complaints there, hence 5* overall. Mogo was soggy and had to go into the air fryer for 10 mins - at £8.50 for a small portion but delicious. Mayfair pricing is off-putting, but quality is there.

I requested the food to be mild. Oh my goodness it was so spicy it was barely edible. Won’t order again from here

Unfortunately purchased a takeaway from this place through Uber. It was horrible. Never again…

We ordered a takeaway via a delivery company who delivered the wrong order. Rang the restaurant and although it was not their mistake, they sorted it all out.

Lovely food quality, as always and containers are spill-proof and keep everything hot. You forgot my poppadoms and chutney though! Next time, hopefully.

2nd time ordering from here. Food is very average and very overpriced. Won't be using them again.

PLEASE AVOID!!! The place wasn’t even that busy. The staff were rude and very arrogant. Service was awful. Food was not nice at all. Food came out cold!!! -1 Star from us!!!

Authentic dining, very relaxed atmosphere, excellent customer service and the food is delicious. I've dined here a few times and had great experiences. Even when there was an issue with my fellow diners meal they handled the situation swiftly, professionally and without fuss... Pinnal served us both times and she delivered excellent service with a smile. Thank you Team Connoisseur

Asked for a recommendation for a vegetarian. Got the aubergine as suggested. Dull and very oily. Small portions of chutney with popadoms - why? So short sighted to do this kind of thing. This used to be a great restaurant but now it just puts the er into average.

Extremely disappointing. Ordered veg dansak and chicken karari asked for both to be spicy, unfortunately the veg dansak tasted like boiled vegetables added to a bland dal no taste at all very bland and awful…even the chickpea starter was awful…...certainly won’t be ordering from here again….waste of money as had 2 spoonfuls rest got binned shows how awful it was!

I and my friend today had the pleasure of dining at Connoisseur Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was incredibly relaxing, setting the perfect tone for our meal. We started our culinary journey with their signature dishes – Chilli Momo, Jhol Momo, Chicken Tikka, and Chicken Chaumin. Each dish was bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's expertise and dedication to quality ingredients. The Chilli Momo and Jhol Momo were packed with delicious spices, while the Chicken Tikka and Chicken Chaumin had a perfect balance of flavors that left us craving for more. Beyond the exquisite cuisine, what truly stood out was the warmth and hospitality of the owner and staff. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and polite, making us feel right at home throughout our dining experience. Overall, Connoisseur Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines outstanding flavors with a relaxing ambiance and top-notch service, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is great and the food is tasty, authentic and not at all oily. The menu includes beautiful fish dishes which i tend to prefer like salmon tikka as well as many tasty vegetable dishes. The prawn puri as a starter is delicious. I will be returning for healthy and delicious Indian food served by a very friendly team.

Absolutely delicious, we both enjoyed the food very much.

Just a shame that the lid of the Lasun khursani was not secured properly. But this did not affect the quality of our meal

Best place to eat in Harrow on the hill. Very good quality food and excellent service. I will be back again. Loved the goat curry and Nepalese momo. See u again

Decided to come here at the last min. The place was packed. Luckily we were able to get a reservation. The service was amazing and the food was good.

Our experience at The Connoisseur was nothing short of fantastic. The food was not only delicious but also served in generous portions, making it perfect for sharing among four people. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service, guiding us to the best selections like the flavorful chicken korma and the mouthwatering prawns in tikka masala sauce. The mango lassi was a delightful accompaniment, and the coconut naan was a standout, elevating the dining experience. I can't wait to revisit and explore more of their delectable menu. Definitely recommend 5 ⭐️

Best Indian food I have ever had

Excellent food and great service

Second time ordering here!!! the food was really good.

I didn’t get mint sauce n chilly sauce very disappointed poor service n kebab’s very hard

Amazing food. I love the momos 🫶🏻

Best butter chicken and lamb rum ghost around wembley and harrow !! 10/10

You can enjoy good Indian food. Momos and biryani is great. Panner sizlar is bland can be improvised. Over all I will say good place to visit when you are in Harrow in hill side. Staf is cooperative. Cost wise few things can looked it but. Good place.

First time ordering from here. Ordered the chicken tikka masala… it honestly tasted like Heinz tomato soup with pieces of chicken. So strange! The onion Bhaji didn’t taste great either unfortunatley.

Food was extremely bland, no taste at all very disappointing

Wow we ordered a take out last night and the food was amazing. The chicken jalfrezi in the masala sauce was delicious as well as the rest of the food. Thank you Mr Chef your food was outstanding. I will be ordering again from you soon.

Just became our favourite Indian takeaway.

Our family has been coming here for almost 3 years now and we’ve seen 3 owners change but the food is always good and tastes very traditional. Definitely a hidden gem!

Usually excellent , have been visiting here for many years now, biryani is amazing! Just recently I feel the food quality has changed. Their original biryani recipie has also changed in the last few years. In the most recent visit, the starters didn't have much flavour, like kebabs, both chicken and veg, like the pieces were cooked separately and just added on some masala later separately, so tasted less flavourful and under seasoned. The biryani however was excellent.. different from their original years ago but delicious. It was almost as though biryani was made by a different chef and the rest of the food served was cooked by someone else. Other than that, the experience was good, great service.

I visited this place recently with my few friends for Dinner and found the place really welcoming. Food was delicious, the staff on floor were cheerful and friendly and we throughly enjoyed evening at this place. Hence, I highly recommonadate everyone to visit this place once, many thanks

Delicious! Second time ordering in as many days. Definitely recommend.

Very tasty food and full of flavour! A big fan of the sizeable naan bread. Will definitely order again.

My family always comes here, the food is just so good! There was a recent change in management, but the new owner is great and she was really sweet to my grandparents. The service was also great, and our server was really attentive to my allergies which was really kind. The pilau rice was really well cooked, and the chicken momos were delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant for Indian food!

Excellent flavours of each curry

The staff is amazing, the food comes in big quantity as well as the quality is outstanding! Please go there and enjoy the food. I highly reccomend it!!

Food was very delicious. Customer service was excellent

Found the restaurant at a last moment, went for an early dinner with my friend. Totally amazed by the service and fabulous food or i can say authentic touch to the food which is hard to even get it from big restro's nowadays in nearby areas. Manager or owner was very attentive and friendly. It's a must try on place.

Lovely food, friendly staff and amazingly calm and beautiful environment. We found best place in town for our dine out. Highly recommended, we will be back soon.

Amazing food, really hitting the spot without being too greasy or overloaded with spices but perfect balance of well prepared spices foods to get the real taste, great location in Harrow on the hill, a village vibe with great restaurant. This one being on of the best as well!! Well done and keep up the good food 🙌🏽😊🤤

Friendly and amazing staff ever.Clean Dishes and amazing service.Welcoming was go great for us.Will surely visit again soon .Thank You Connoisseur.

From the moment we entered, we were greeted with pure professionalism. The front of house staff were friendly, recommending dishes to try, and went on to explain that one of our starters would take alittle longer to arrive, due to the steaming time, but they would bring the rest of the starters, so that we weren't keep waiting. All the food was too high standard, and we have already spoken about visiting again, we enjoyed it so much. The staff kept approaching to see if everything was alright, but not in an encroaching way, they were very humble, and genuinely interested in making sure we were enjoying our experience. We will definitely go again.

I have recently visited the restaurant with my family , the atmosphere in the restaurant is very soothing and staff are very friendly and welcoming. I felt like I am dinner with my family . Food is fantastic. Highly recommended.

A gem on the Hill Great atmosphere, amazing food with outstanding service. It is not easy to go to restaurant with young kids.The staff and the manager made our visit with two kids very memorable with their caring nature. Every food we tried were fresh, delicious and good portion size. Very affordable too. We will definitely be visiting again.

All Staff are really nice special binu is fabulous .goat curry & butter chicken is my personal favourite ,lovely music, i highly recommend this place .

The food was very bad. It's just different meat and veg tosses in the same plain sauce. I would be upset about the small portion but the food was too poor.

This is my first visit at this restaurant. I find food is awesome. Staff is very very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant everyone .

Amazing experience of my dinning .very friendly staff and food is really nice .Highly recommended.

Ordered online, they then called to say didn’t have one item from my order, gave an alternative took ages to get that approved, I called them back to confirm all fine they said yes. 45 minutes later my order was cancelled. Called back to find out what the issue was. Driver issues then woman called Binu hung up on me. Left hungry an hour after ordering food. Never tried their food never will, awful service and experience.

awesome food and service enjoyed food and drinks

The Naan and Lamb Biriyani was very good … we also had the goat curry which was delicious. The service was great and all round very good .. was our first time in there and would definitely go again.

My favourite restaurant in the Harrow area. Love the food, the staff are so friendly and great with allergies

Peace and Familiar restaurant must visit once to have a delicious food with your owns.❤️❤️❤️

Amazing food and pleasant environment. Felt like a family restaurant.

Delicious Lamb Biryani with generous amount of tender meat as my main each time. My new local!

I have missing item In my order

We dined here before the pandemic and we really enjoyed it then. Decided to come back to celebrate our anniversary. The food tasted ok at the time but the next day I had serious diarrhoea throughout the day 👎👎

Food was so delicious, especially the lamb shank and chili garlic mushrooms. Waiter was very attentive also. Highly recommend.

The only place where we have authentic Indian food ..Dal makhani was next level ,Starters were yummy 😋

The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and staff and manager here always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.

The restaurant was so clean and nice music the staffs was so friendly and welcoming that food was so amazing worth it!

Good food, nice and friendly staff. Made us feel very welcome. Was a lovely evening out especially with my elderly mother in law who rarely goes out. Butter chicken and Rasmalai was particularly good. Good portion size.

Third time here. Decor really nice. Ambience very good, decent R&B music at just the right level so you can enjoy a conversation. Staff attentive and the food delicious. So glad we found this place and with a walk around the Hill afterwards, a perfect end to the evening

We enjoyed our dinner here, excellent location,Kind staff and amazing menu specials Lamb curry. Definitely recommend this place

Amazing restaurant, I took my mum here for her birthday and we had a lovely evening together. The food was great and the service was exemplary. Smiles all around! We will definitely be returning :)

We visited the Connoisseur on Friday 5th May in the evening. We had wanted to come for ages but as the hill is a little off the beaten track for us we tend to forget to go up there. However it is well served by the 258 bus and we made our booking for 8.30 pm. WOW... This is undoubtably some of the very best Indian dishes we have ever had. The quality of the meat succulent prawns crisp bajis, tender melting chicken, the aromatic sauces, and beautifully puffed and crisp naan breads, mouthwatering starters, were all without fault. We had a prawn in spinach dish which was incredible and the wines were not too expensive.`The service was quick, attentive, helpful and friendly. We are definately coming back here as soon as we can. We paid around £100 for two people with starters and 2 beers, one bottle of wine and two main courses and rice and naan, and we also took a takeaway chicken tikka masala home for our daughter. If you havnt' been GO!! this is a really lovely restaurant and a real treat.

Very good food, service and a peaceful ambience.

Excellent food, the Lasun Chicken Khursani was especially delicious, very highly recommended

Booked easily on website. Had takeaway prior to that so knew what to expect in terms of food quality. Very friendly staff and good portions. All expectations met.

Outstanding service - super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for our meal. The staff recommended the best menu items and they didn’t disappoint, the food was oustanding. We will definitely be coming back!

Sehr gutes indisches Restaurant. Eine Reservierung ist in jedem Fall ratsam, da der Laden recht klein und sehr gut besucht ist. Das Essen war geschmacklich sehr gut.

This was my 3rd visit to the restaurant, cannot fault the staff, service or food. I can honestly say the food was delicious. We had no reservation but staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, thank you, I will definitely be back on my next visit to harrow

Very nice restaurant. Took parents for Mother’s Day dinner yesterday. They really enjoyed it. The food was really tasty and authentic. Also the staffs were really welcoming and attentive. I recommend everyone to visit this place.

Great food and great service. Food slightly too hot for my family but they gave us alternative dishes free of charge. Will definitely go again. Try the house special biryani!

The worst curry I've ever had. We ordered two seperate dishes and they had exactly the same sauce despite being described differently on the menu. We ordered paneer makhni and one chicken tikka the sauce tasted exactly like Heinz cream of tomato soup in both. I can see that other people have complained about this 3 years ago too... It tastes AWFUL and it's so disappointing to know they have been doing this for years. Also, when ordering onion bhaji, expect to receive scraps that have clearly been reheated. They arrived to the table soggy. The staff also do not speak english fluently and were rude when ordering and paying. The restaurant charges and an arm and leg as they are situated up on the hill and they try to present themselves as a gourmet restaurant. However, the food quality and service is far worse than any *indian takeaway* that we've ever eaten!

Delicious food. Excellent staff. Nice and cozy space. Not the first time there and it will not be the last.

If you're looking for a great curry restaurant for any occasion, I’d recommend this restaurant. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent. The curry dishes are delicious, with a range of options to choose from. Would definitely eat here again

Beautiful setting, divine mango lassi (really the best I have ever had). The food is delicious and the service very friendly. Servings are large. Definitely the place to go for fine Indian/Nepalese dining.

Awesome food Have ordered paneer shashlik and mix veg n garlic chilli Nan Paneer was soft n tasty , subji and Nan great Would recommend this place for all foodies

Lovely Biryani Special and Lassani Chicken, well made and tender meat, not the cheapest but worth it. Service was v good too. FYI we asked for hot.

Food was good, good variety on menu, efficient service and nice ambience.
