Ahh, how to describe Ealing Road; stand still for a just a moment with your eyes closed and with the sounds you hear (even an occasional car horn), Hindi and the Gujarati language can often be heard being spoken, the scents & aromas that you can smell; without much effort you could easily think that you're standing in a market bazaar or road in India. Open your eyes (and see the bright rainbow of colours that you don't usually see in "dull & grey" London) and you'll be even more convinced that somehow you've been magically transported back to Gujarat in India...
...suddenly we hear & see a London bus and quickly realise that we're still actually in London...
Ealing Road in Wembley is one of London's world famous "Little India Street" because there's lots of 'Desi' shops & stores selling Sarees, Mithai shops, Indian street Food Vendors, at his time of the year it's summer time in London and there's still lots of street traders selling Indian Alphonso & Kesar Mangoes, there's many Vegetarian Restaurants, and of course those hard to find 'ladies cardigans' shops.
Patel's Food & Chaat address is: 1A Bowrons Avenue (off Ealing Road), Wembley, London, HA0 4QS
If you have any questions such as their opening times, you can call them on the following phone number: 020 3943 8206
A special thank you to Srujal, Nishit and al of the Patel's team who welcomed me and graciously allowed me a privileged glimpse into their resaurant to do the videoing.
