Best restaurants in Wembley

One of many good Indian vegetarian restaurants in Wembley, there’s lots to appreciate among the many pages of Sakonis’ menu, but we’re big fans of the chilli paneer and the fresh, punchy chaats. They do excellent sandwiches and wraps for the lunch crowd too.

In our humble opinion, Dosa Street might just be one of the best value hidden gems in the whole of London - the menu is packed with a seemingly endless list of dosas in various sweet and savoury guises. You can’t go wrong with a masala dosa, and the hoppers are good too.

Shree Krishna Vada Pav (or SKVP as it’s understandably shortened to) has been busy taking vada pavs London-wide, with sites all over the city now. Despite the spread it remains really excellent quality and value for money, serving a Mumbai street food menu centred around those fluffy, buttery vada pavs.

Baarish focuses predominantly on North Indian cooking, but the menu covers a lot of crowd pleasing bases with chaats, tandoori grills and biryanis. It’s a nice restaurant for a sit-in meal as well, with rustic brick architectural fixtures sitting alongside moody lighting and a bustling atmosphere.

The bar at Hilton London Wembley is, as you might guess, found on the top floor of the hotel, where it boasts fantastic views over the city and the nearby stadium. The drinks list has everything you could want, but you’ll find some good bar snacks on off too, as well as afternoon tea with a view if you fancy it.

This simple hole-in-the-wall kebab shop on Station Road is easily missed, but inside you’ll find lots of traditional Pakistani dishes including some excellent seekh kebabs, curries and a great mango lassi. Staff here are brilliant too.

This Indian and Nepalese restaurant is located right by the Wembley Stadium Arch, which makes it very difficult to get a table after big sporting events. It’s worth booking in advance for the plates of Nepalese momo dumplings, as well as tandoori dishes and a delicious butter chicken.

Atul Kocchar’s name is synonymous with modern Indian food in London, and his menu at Masalchi delivers fragrant curries and grill plates, alongside a menu of dishes collected during his travels around India.

One of a few excellent vada pav spots in Wembley, Amol’s serves an excellent vada pav - a spiced potato patty and chutney inside a burger bun - for just £1.50 at the time of writing. Amol’s also does a load of variation, including our favourite, the simple but delicious cheese butter grilled vada pav for just two quid.

Boxpark arrived in Wembley in 2018, bringing with it a huge range of street food traders, including well-respected stalwarts like Zia Lucia and Nanny Bill’s burgers. There’s also a ‘PLAY’ space that boasts mini-golf, shuffleboard, table tennis, pool and table football.
