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 are a family business group operating within a number of industries including construction, security, technology consultancy. In July 2019, we landed the opportunity to turn around the historical Fusilier public house. The property needed a lot of work to regenerate it and, coupled with our approach of doing things right first time, we invested a significant amount of resources to turn this place around.We wanted to give customers a restaurant that they can come dine in that offered quality food, as well as local watering hole. Given the close proximity of the restaurant to Wembley Stadium, we decided to name the restaurant the 'Arena Lounge'.Today, we are pleased to provide our customers a comfortable, stylish and cosy environment that they can sit back in, socalise and have a tasty Kenyan, Indo-Chinese infused meal in.Please join us at the Arena Lounge.

I took my family out for a beautiful meal at Dolce Caffe. My mum couldn’t decide what to eat so we ordered both meals and shared them. The chicken was delicious and full of flavour, the meat was falling off the bone on the lamb shank. My sister is vegetarian and they were able to adapt the menu and create something extra special for her. Sadly they didn’t have the cheesecake in stock we wanted to try but the sticky toffee pudding was so light and fluffy. The staff always cheerful and give you a warm welcome

It was our 2nd visit to the Script as we enjoyed the first one on Fathers Day very much. Unfortunately we weren’t as happy this time. The lamb in the roast was like a doorstop and the cauliflower cheese was a bit watery and the roast potatoes were a bit underdone. The club sandwich was extremely bad. Not really sure how you can make a club sandwich bad?? A lot of bread and not much inside. The chicken and bacon were very overdone and inedible. All we were offered was a complimentary coffee!
