Ishq

Ishq Bar and Restaurant is a contemporary Indian dining room on Wealdstone High Road, fitted with plush red banquettes, exposed brick walls and an eclectic collection of Indian art that sets it apart from the functional canteens of the surrounding area. The menu is North Indian with a modern edge — Machli Amritsari (tilapia in spiced batter) and Burrah-e-Boti (marinated lamb chops from the tandoor) are among the standout dishes. Tandoori cod broadens the seafood offering beyond the usual chicken and lamb focus. The vegetarian selection is present but smaller than would be expected from an Indian restaurant in this part of Harrow. Hardens has noted the restaurant's stylish interior. A good-value option for groups and couples wanting a sit-down meal on Wealdstone High Road rather than a takeaway.
