Mumbai Local Rayner's Lane

Not so many onion garlic free options for those with sattvic diet. Eating tastes fine, but could be something bland for some. Not because I like hot dishes. Under our group there were no outstanding dishes. The atmosphere is okay. A few times and a little cold.

I visited the Mumbai Towns restaurant in Wembley, and I found the one on Rayner's Lane to be much better.

I ordered plain steamed rice and paneer bhurji, asking for it to be made extra spicy. It was perfectly seasoned to my liking and incredibly delicious—I would definitely order it again. There were even some Indian patrons there, which is always a good sign. However, I was a bit disappointed by the price. The total for the curry, plus a service fee of around £1.60, came to £15. I’m not sure why it was so expensive, as I feel that’s a bit much for some rice and a nice curry. In other places I’ve been to, similar dishes were priced closer to £8-£9. There’s one in Harrow that stands out in my memory, but I wonder if the difference in price is due to higher competition among vegetarian Indian restaurants in those areas.

I had a great experience at Mumbai Local. The service was quick, and I didn't have to wait long for my food. I ordered the kachori chaat and the sesame disc, both of which I highly recommend. The interior is lovely, adorned with vintage Bollywood movie posters. There's also convenient parking nearby. I would definitely come back!

I visited the Mumbai Cities restaurant in Wembley, and I found that the one on Rayner's Lane is considerably better.
