Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Willesden

Visited for a meal last night and received great service from Neila. She was really sweet and funny. She took great care of us and gave us great recommendations. The food was nice, and the portions were filling. The vibe was perfect with the live music. Will definitely be back again.

Had a fantastic meal at Chet’s, a Thai-Americana gem in Shepherd’s Bush that blends the bold, smoky flavors of Southeast Asia with the nostalgic comforts of a classic American diner. I went for the BBQ Rice Bowl with Grilled Aubergine (£12)—a deliciously smoky, well-balanced dish that really hit the spot. My friend had the Tuna Melt (£16), and wow, this wasn’t your standard sandwich! The tuna larb filling, packed with mint, coriander, red onion, and Kewpie mayo, was next-level. Add melted American cheese and a crispy, golden bread exterior, and it’s easily one of the best tuna melts I’ve tried. The coffee was great, rounding out the meal nicely, though I wasn’t the biggest fan of the crisps on the side—just a personal preference. Overall, a fantastic spot with unique flavors, a cool vibe, and well-executed dishes. Would I return? Absolutely.

We booked this restaurant as it was close (very) to the Arena and we were attending a gig there. I had a few dietary requirements and they were brilliant making sure they could find me a dish I could eat, liaising with the kitchen back and forth. We were a group of 6 and everyone’s dishes were lovely, just the right amount. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

A great evening in Valentines. Service was very good. Menu explained and felt comfortable. Decor and setting excellent for a romantic dinner. Would gave gift. 5 star however, the main which we had the Seabass wasn’t as good as the starters. Overall lovely place for a dinner with your partner

A popular restaurant, our 1st time as a family trying hotpot, where you have a hot broth in the middle of the table and order platters of meat & veg to cook in it. Very fun as a family activity and great place to bring picky teenagers. Staff checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed or if we wanted to order more. There is a strong smell of lamb throughout the restaurant that took 2 days to air out of my jacket, also the floor was wet by the end of the evening from the steam from all the hotpots, even though the staff was doing its best to mitigate, so take care when walking.
