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

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.

Incredible food as always. Francesco our waiter was really nice and personable. He apologised for any delays but to be honest it was nice not to be rushed on what’s usually one of the busiest nights.
