Best Casual Restaurants in Harlesden

It had been quite a while since my last visit to the Ivy Chelsea, and as soon as I walked in, I was enveloped by its familiar warmth and charm. The ambience was just as beautiful as I remembered. However, I must admit I was disappointed they had altered the dark salad recipe; it seemed somewhat lacking, with only a small amount of duck included. On the positive side, the service was attentive and professional. Apart from my duck salad, everything else was exquisite—the succulent chicken was perfectly cooked, and the wine selection was exceptional, enhancing the meal beautifully. Overall, it was a delightful experience, aside from that one misstep with the salad.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food . Everything was perfect

I ate here 12 years ago. It was so memorable I had to go back during my first time visiting London since then. And it was even better. Than the memory. That is rare. I have never had venison as tender as wagyu beef before. I feel connected with the ‘āina, as we say in Hawaiian, through this food. A meal at Harwood Arms is akin to a ramble in the countryside, and a bit of a history lesson to boot. Chestnut soup with a surprise of chestnut mushrooms at the bottom—it made me chuckle!

Couldn’t have chose a better restaurant to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Anastasia was our personal host. She greeted us with a smile and she went above and beyond. The staff was friendly and professional - the food and drinks were exquisite. Some of our favourites were: crispy rice with guacamole and truffle as well as cauliflower bang bang taco. Also, the panacota was top notch. We will be coming back!

We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.
