Sakonis brings the effervescent delights of Indian vegetarian cuisine to their locations in Harrow and Wembley, and in the process they have happily introduced numerous ravenous carnivores to the charms of paneer pakoda and aloo chat. It's a feast for the entire family and their versatile menu brings different gastronomic landscapes together, where you will be surprised to see how well Chinese cuisine blends with Indian to produce a fusion that is loved fervently across the subcontinent.

There's a wide choice of eats and bites, traditional snacks such as idli, bhajias, masala dosas, cutlets and naan breads, alongside the more pungent pani puri and dahi wada, lentil fritters in spiced yoghurt. Indian street food would be incomplete without the delicious paneer chilli and the ubiquitious gobi manchurian and those longing for a taste of the food back home will love to indulge. Fresh fruit juices, coffee, tea and hot chocolate are some of the beverages that accompany your meal.

Sushi brings to mind the quintessential Japanese dining experience with tasty easy-to-eat parcels of food that can make a satisfying snack or meal.

Place orders directly on the website or call to enjoy these delicacies in the comfort of your home or office.

The restaurant's experienced chefs hand-roll the freshest fish and fine ingredients to create delicious sushi including sashimi, finger shaped nigiri, cone like temaki, uramaki, and futomaki with toppings and fillings of tuna, grilled eel, crispy duck, soft shell crab, salmon roe and pickled Asian radish. The interestingly named 'teasers' selection features a variety of small dishes that embrace crispy tuna tatiki, calamari chunks, seared beef and gyoza dumplings filled with king prawn, chicken or vegetables.

Further evidence of the diversity of Japanese cuisine is offered by dishes such as king prawn tempura, chicken and pineapple skewers, chicken katsu curry, barbequed freshwater eel, grilled beef and pan fried tiger prawns with crabmeat and vegetables. A range of soba and udon noodles with prawn, chicken and salmon is more fuel for the appetite. Specials such as grilled black cod marinated in sweet miso sauce and thin slices of 'white' tuna with green jalapeno peppers give the discerning diner more choices. Vegetarians can also rejoice at the variety at their disposal at Me Love Sushi.

Sake, Japanese beer and wine as well as a range of signature cocktails complement the food perfectly.

Geales presents an interior that drives a nice line between the old and new images, whilst cleverly retaining the right atmosphere. The team, Mark Fuller and Andy Taylor, claim to be 'keeping the great British chip shop mentality - fresh fish, no frills and fabulous service'.

Hot smoked salmon, tempura soft shell crab or its distant relation, a dressed Cornish crab, deep-fried whitebait, or a large pot of prawns, all contribute to the start of a meal that brings out the best in fish. Just to display a proper sense of gastronomic democracy there are grilled rib eye steaks or fillets of beef. It seems that fish is not an easy dish to follow when it comes to desserts, but at Geales they appear to have found the ideal formula, with the treacle tart, and warm chocolate brownie with blood orange sorbet amongst others, or a selection of British cheeses.
