SHARED PASSIONFor owners Mishal and Sundeep, food has always been a way to bring families, friends and communities together, a way to celebrate life and share stories.Mishal vividly remembers fragrant aromas and laughter filling the air at garden parties as her father cooked in huge pots over a coal stove. It was here that her passion for food began, inspired by her father’s experimental and creative dishes.For Sundeep, it’s the childhood trips back to India and memories of eating fresh dhal and fluffy rotis at roadside cafes in Punjab that he savours most. The atmosphere, the aromas and the flavours all evoke a delightful sense of coming home.And it is his innate understanding of the link between food and celebration that helped Sundeep build a successful banqueting business in the heart of North West London.It’s this passion, this emotional connection and joy for eating that the couple now bring to Bhageecha.Friday and Saturday after 7pm, kids under the age of 10 aren't allowed

    We had a lovely evening at Villa Bianca last night, the food was excellent. Was it expensive? Well that all depends on how you judge it against the quality of the food you are served, I have paid similar amounts for meals of a much lower standard to that we received last night, the wine list prices are a bit of a shock to the system though, way overpriced. The noise level was perfect and much better than other restaurants around the high street which tend to get rather loud and deafening the more the wine flows. The waiter, Daniel, was very attentive, but not overly, and made sure that all our requirements were fulfilled as requested. Will we return, yes most definitely but because of the high prices I think it would only be for those very special occasions rather than the “off the cuff “ meal out.

    The food was good, but for the second time in the last 3 months the service was poor. We were left waiting for 10 minutes to be seen at the door, it took ages for the wine to come, we had to ask twice for the coffees etc. Some of the staff were very nice and apologetic, but some were clearly struggling.
