Best Authentic Restaurants in Harlow

Great food, good atmosphere and excellent service

Our favourite Italian restaurant. Visited for a valentine lunch, and had the whole place to ourselves. Amazing all round as always. Crab starter, delicious. Chicken Milanese, delicious. Strawberry mousse, amazing - could have eaten several portions it was that good. Wife loved her lamb and soup. Service is exceptional, Theo is the perfect host. We will return, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are coming up and The Gables is the perfect restaurant to celebrate.

Our first visit and NOT the last! The food was amazing and our host Jay was outstanding. Could you use a bit bigger wine menu, good choice but the wine we have chosen has run out.

I couldn’t fault a single thing and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Indian cuisine.

Lovely venue, although in the middle of no where in my opinion. Service was good as we had early booking. Starters was delicious, the venison kebab, the quails egg I would have preferred it to be a bit runnier in the middle when you cut into it. The sauce was great and good amount just right for the amount. The mix grill was a disappointment due to the small portion size, there was not enough flavour to this dish. The prawn purée was nice, please serve in a flat plate as it will be easier to eat than the round bowl we had it served in. Ambience was nice. Mains were ok the meat dish was not spicy enough as per details on the menu, the dhansak was lovely, the peshwari naan was yummy. The duck dish would be better to be cooked to one’s tastebud, I would have preferred this a little less cooked. Dessert- we didn’t enjoy in the way it was described on the menu, however the cake for the birthday was nice along with the other complimentary little pot we had. A lovely evening full of lovely food
