Best Contemporary Indian Restaurants in Northolt

Only the 2nd day of opening so a few things were unavailable. Three of us ate delicious small plates - fennel and leek bhajiya, okra fries, paneer tikka, for mains we had chicken tikka masala, allepy prawns curry and railway lamb curry, creamed spinach, rice, naan and tandoori roti. Everything very good apart from the rather bland creamed spinach. Good portion sizes, exceptional, pleasant service and a lovely space to eat in. Will be back.

Amazing food and service. Team couldn’t do enough for us

I was genuinely surprised to find such a gem on Kenton Road. Ustav delivered one of the best food and service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Every starter — pathe ki chaat, tandoori hummus, pani puri and kurkure bhindi — was full of flavour, fresh, and prepared with real attention to detail. The mains were just as impressive: the veg handi was beautifully spiced, the lasooni palak paneer had the perfect garlic balance, and the veg biriyani was aromatic and cooked exactly right. The plain roti, butter naan and laccha paratha were soft, warm, and served at the perfect time.What stood out even more was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. Since it was my birthday, they surprised me with a 20% discount, a 25% discount card for my next visit, and a complimentary dessert — such a kind gesture that made the evening feel special. The combination of amazing food, perfect portions, and exceptional hospitality puts Ustav well above most high‑street restaurants. A fantastic find and a place I’ll definitely return to.

We were celebrating my partner's birthday., the whole event went perfectly and in no small part due to the professionalism of the staff.
