About Belash

Belash Indian Restaurant Harlow

Since 1977, Belash has proudly been the first and oldest Indian restaurant in Harlow. Family-run for over two generations, we continue to welcome guests with authentic cooking and warm hospitality.

At Belash, our chefs blend freshly ground spices and herbs to create dishes full of rich flavour, delicate textures, and vibrant presentation. Inspired by the diverse regions of India and Bangladesh, our menu combines traditional recipes with a modern touch.

Whether you join us for a casual meal or a special celebration, you can always expect great food and friendly service – Belash truly is your home from home.

We cater for all occasions including birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas parties and more. For larger groups, we can create bespoke set menus, and if you prefer, we also offer catering for family functions and private events, delivered straight to your door.
