MOMBASA HUT, 5 Maxwell Road, Northwood Middx HA6 2XY Tel: 91923 840400
Went to this "restaurant" with the wife last week....
It looks like a Cafe. We were the only people there and the atmosphere had a cold feel to it !!!
The Menu said the food was Mombasa style !!!
For starters we ordered Bhadali no Bhajia and Fried Mogo.
For Main Course we ordered Kuku Paka & Rice and Pav Bhaji.
The Main course arrived first so I asked the Lady about our starters - she said "it will come" and left it at that !!!
The Kuku Paka & Rice was some rice + coconut sauce poured over some old grilled chicken (quite tough really). I realised that the chicken was grilled earlier and not cooked with the sauce.
The Pav Bhaji was some tasteless potatoes in toasted bread.
Then the Starters came... the Bhajias were passable and the Mogo was ok - can't do much to fried mogo !
I left the Kuku as it was inedible !!!
The bill came to just under £20 so it was £20 down the drain.
Not worth visiting is all I can say.......
The name should be changed to "MOMBASA NOT"

Went to this restaurant last week with some friends after hearing that it had just been opened by Raza, previously of Karahi King, Five Hot Chillies etc...
Place wasn't exactly packed as it has just opened. The staff recognised us immediately as past patrons of the earlier ventures mentioned above.
It goes without saying that we had excellent service - they even opened the Beer Bottles we had taken with us as usual...
For starters we had delicious Lamb Kababs (flame grilled) and really juicy Tandoori Tilapia Fish Fillets.
Main course was superior Lamb on the Bone Curry, very nice and tasty King Prawn Curry,Tarka Daal and the plates of Salad kept appearing on our table. This was accompanied by the crispiest Tandoori Rotis I have ever had !!!
We were stuffed by this time. But were convinced that we had to try their home made Kheer (Rice Pudding) and very unusual Kulfi (served on a stick !!!). Both were superb.
Finally we left at about 11.00 pm after paying the bill which came to about £12.50 per head !!!
A place worth visiting regularly as I propose to !!!
