The name Veera means older brother in two Indian languages as well as being from the Sanskrit brave. The owners have two other successful restaurants in Hayes and Ruislip. The new restaurant in Hatch End was designed by the family. While it's new, they will be overseeing the Hatch End branch. But they keep an eye on the quality of service with video so they can spot if customers are looking for attention. I think this is wonderful. The family were busy checking up looking after us when we had a meal there on the first day.
Now, what about the decor and food.\
Delightful Decor
First the decor. We popped in to look at the menu at lunch time and were delighted. Of course it was all new. A choice of seating, upright dining chairs or banquettes against the walls. One circular table. A bank of three behind a barrier which cuts it off from the bar. The circular table is opposite the kitchen window, so might be noisy they warned up. There was background music, good for us as we had a three year old and did not want to risk disturbing others.
The decor is delightful. Unusual light fittings. The toilets have an imitation leaves of the roof.
Amusing. Restful. Different.
I also liked the playing card motifs indicating men and women on he toilet doors.
Food Prices and Choices
The dearest items were the mixed grill at 27 pounds and the tandoori salmon at 17.
The chicken biriani was 15. Biriani comes at four prices depending on ingredients. Vegetarians can choose vegetarian options at lower prices.
The most dramatic dish, ordered by others at the next table, was the conical dosai. Amusing and amazing.
The peshwari naan contained coconut. Six pounds.
The desserts we tried were two kinds of kulfi (Indian ice cream).
Drinks
The Lunetta Prosecco was a small 20c bottle, enough for two of us to have a glass. I had mango lassi at six pounds. Service charge was more than 10 percent.
We had some leftover food and they provided lidded boxes for us to select our take away.
The owner escorted us to the door and made sure we had a sample of the digestive seeds in the decorative bicycle.
If the website prices are up to date, you can get the same or similar food and drink at their other branches at lower prices.
