The restaurant opened recently in Harrow after having another<br \/>\nrestaurant in Amsterdam. I wonder why they picked Harrow as you normally see such places in central London. The decor and ambiance was simply stunning. The place is filled with ethnic Indian artifacts, fabrics and paintings. It is almost like you are transported to India as soon as you walk in. This went down with my wife very well as she is an artist herself and loved the ambiance. <\/p>\n<p>The food is Punjabi \/ North Indian and the menu features Punjabi specialties like Butter Chicken, Saag meat but it also has a lot of moghul dishes (my favourite) and some local dishes from various parts of the country. we had the Mixed Grill to start. <strong>The Seekh Kababs were full of flavour and the hot chicken wings were very juicy. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For our main course, we had the Punjabi Chaamp Masala which was one of the best I have ever had. It took me back to my trip to Delhi 8 years ago as the spices were strong, the gravy was so rich with flavour. My wife had the Murg Maharaja which was very nice. It was like a korma with nuts, saffron and edible silver leaf on top!!!<strong> The rice was soft and the cheese nan was salty and creamy &#8211; just right. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of Indian restaurants in Harrow but most of them offer south Indian\/Gujarati cuisine or there are a lot of Bangladeshi curry places that aren&#8217;t that authentic though. <strong>This restaurant is a breath of fresh air. I spoke to the owner and she said that they tried to keep the cuisine as authentic as possible to give people a taste of India instead of just a curry. I think they managed very well. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Elephant<br \/>\n20 Station Parade, Northolt Road,<br \/>\nSouth Harrow, Middlesex, UK<br \/>\nTel: 020 8422 5323<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elephantindianrestaurant.com\">www.elephantindianrestaurant.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Elephant Indian Restaurant Harrow Reviewed by Mike Baines The Elephant 20 Station Parade, Northolt Road, South Harrow, Middlesex, UK Tel: 020 8422 5323 We went here on 27th October 2010 after work for a quick meal.
