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

A splendid meal and reasonably priced for the set menu. Go away from that and the bill can mount up, especially when adding drinks. The location was very pleasant, the staff welcoming and attentive with a nicely relaxed ambience. The food was delicious with a good selection of drinks. Highly recommended, particularly for special occasions.

We had a nice experience at Bhageecha. Service by Astha was really good. I liked the starters- Mogo Chaat & Chilli Paneer. Haveli kofta was good. Food tasted good overall but Hyderabadi Dum Biryani & Tarka Dal could have been much better. We ordered Biscoff Baked cheesecake, which we all loved.
