Kenton Lane Café — Restaurant in London

I found this little gem from a Google search. It’s such a shame that all the decent cafes in Harrow have closed or changed hands.

Parking can be a little challenging but I managed to find parking very close by.

On arrival I was pleasantly greeted by the waitress and was advised I could sit anywhere. I chose to sit in the far left hand corner table with a good view of the rest of the cafe.

I did like the ambiance and liveliness of this cafe. I would say they have the advantage of Wi-Fi but I just couldn’t get it working at all which is highly disappointing. The decor is nice and the place appeared clean.

I placed my order with a young lady who was clearly in training as a waitress.

I came here for breakfast so I ordered the KLC Special £6.50. I asked the waitress if there was an alternative to chips and she said no. However she asked if I would like Masala chips instead of plain, to which I agreed and request to have Masala chips with my breakfast.

I asked the waitress if they had Rooibos Tea to which she looked confused, as most people do, and suggested the Teas they do have. I asked what herbal teas they have to which she was unable to answer so I settled for a simple black tea.

When my breakfast arrived, I was visually very impressed. However the egg was lukewarm and the sausages were the worst I have ever tasted. I would go as far to say they tasted “cheap and nasty”. They were completely tasteless and extremely poor quality.

During the course of my meal no one came to check if everything was ok until I had finished. I guess this is common with single diners but I find it highly annoying.

The young trainee waitress came over to collect my plate and ask if everything ok. I told her the egg was lukewarm and the sausages tasted very bad. I very much doubt this was communicated any further back to the chef or the owners who were present at the time.

I was pleased to see they have all their delivery drivers wait outside for the collection of their orders.

I was also pleased to see the array of fusion dishes I’d like to try so I’ll definitely be coming back to try them.

When I went to settle my bill I was disappointed to see I was charged an extra £1.30 for Masala chips, something which wasn’t highlighted to me when I’m placed my order.

Overall my experience was ok because it’s not always about food although it does help to have good quality hot food and be well informed about what is...

First time coming here and it won’t be the last. Excellent masala tea, fiery and sweet, just how it should be! I can’t say enough great things about this business and especially the owner. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that customer satisfaction is the top priority. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken care of and that every customer feels valued and appreciated.

What really stood out to me was the personal attention and genuine care the owner puts into everything. We found the food too spicy but he noticed we were struggling without us saying anything and quickly put it right.

It’s rare to find someone so hands-on, professional, and committed to excellence. Whether it was answering questions, offering helpful suggestions, or just making sure I felt welcome, the owner made the entire experience exceptional.

In a world where good customer service is hard to come by, this level of dedication truly sets the business apart. You can tell that the owner not only takes pride in the work but truly cares about the people they serve. Highly...
