Authentic Indian Cuisine near Harrow
Indian food is not one cuisine but many. The menu at Dawat Bar and Kitchen travels from Bombay street stalls to Goan fish curry and slow-sealed Awadhi biryani, all cooked at our kitchen on Streatfield Road, a short trip from Harrow.
- Bombay Chowpatty chaat: panipuri, bhel and samosa chaat
- Handi curries, from daal makhani to rogan josh
- Dum biryani, sealed and slow-cooked, served with raita
- Breads made in the tandoor
The regions behind the menu
The Bombay Chowpatty section takes its name from the beach in Mumbai famous for street food: panipuri, sev dahi puri and papadi chaat. The handi dishes are cooked in a deep pot, the way many North Indian homes do, and include murgh makhanwala, daal makhani and Mughlai kadhai gosht.
From the west coast come Goan fish curry, Malabari prawn curry and Konkan fish rava fry. The menu also reflects the East African Indian kitchen, with chilli garlic mogo (cassava) and a Kenyan-style chilli chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of Indian food do you cook?

What is a handi curry?
A handi is a deep cooking pot. Handi curries are slow-cooked in it, which gives a rich, thick sauce. Ours include paneer makhani, daal makhani, rogan josh and murgh makhanwala.
