Chetna is one of the fixtures of Harrow's South Asian food scene — a Gujarati vegetarian restaurant that has been on Station Road for decades and shows no sign of trying to modernise itself for an outside audience. The menu runs through the standard Gujarati repertoire: dhokla, thepla, puri bhaji, and a rotation of thali specials. The sweets counter near the entrance sells mithai by weight.
The room is utilitarian, service is rapid, and prices are low. This is the kind of place where regulars order without looking at the menu and where a full meal costs less than a pint of beer in central London. If you are in Harrow and want to understand why local South Asian communities rate the borough's food scene so highly, this is the place to start.
