Krishna Restaurant

A pure vegetarian Indian restaurant and catering operation at the heart of Wembley's South Asian food corridor, Krishna serves an honest Gujarati and North Indian menu that draws heavily on the local Hindu community it has long served. The room is small and warm, and regulars highlight the pani puri and chaat, soft idlis with precisely made sambar, and paneer tikka masala as the dishes to seek out. A mango lassi here earns consistent praise. The kitchen makes its own dals and chutneys rather than buying in shortcuts, which gives the simpler dishes — dal baati, for example — a homemade quality that distinguishes this from larger, blander operations. A solid neighbourhood choice for pure-veg dining in a stretch of the High Road that does it particularly well.
