Aroma Lounge, in Llanover Road, north Wembley
Bills itself as "the best Indian restaurant in Wembley".
"Without our sense of smell, our only taste sensations would be sweet, sour, salty and bitter. The aroma contributes to the flavours we discern on our plates. We are Aroma Lounge, the best Indian restaurant in Wembley."
Maru's Bhajia Potatoes, Ealing Road, Alperton
Maru's says on its facebook page: "Our speciality is fresh Maru's bhajia with delicious passion juice. Our roots are in Nairobi, Kenya, but we have been on Ealing Road for many years."
