The Doll's House On Hill

We had a delightful lunch with our family. We tried a variety of sandwiches and pancakes topped with strawberries and blueberries. We all loved the food served to us.

Very small and busy place. I had wanted to try the afternoon tea here so was excited to celebrate my friend's birthday here. My excitement was shortlived as everything was merely average.

Recommended to us as we were going to watch our son play rugby at Harrow. Loved the quirky little traditional tea shop style cafe. Extensive menu and good food. Service great and nice atmosphere felt like we were in a different time period.

Absolutely terrible, cake was crumbly and fell apart, manager said it was moist, it certainly was not moist or fresh. Husband had a scone which crumbled and was inedible also not fresh. Cake counter looked dirty. Manager couldn't of cared less. Only gave one star as I couldn't leave a review without one.

We visited this restaurant twice while staying in Harrow-on-the-Hill. The café has a charming old shop front and quirky decorations inside, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere, especially during the unpredictable British summer weather. We loved their carrot cake and lemon pistachio cake, as well as their quiche, crispy lettuce salad, and mezzo platter which included hummus, tzatziki dips, olives, falafels, and flatbread. The cappuccinos were outstanding!

Having visited the Dolls House on many occasions pre covid . We were very disappointed in the current quality of the food. The quiche pastry was rubbery and with my Eggs Verde the poached eggs were over cooked, the avocado was not ripe and the muffin not toasted. with trepidation we decided to give the cakes a go. The vegan coffee cake was dry and had no taste while the scone was dry and over baked. To crown it all on asking to have the bill split. We were charged 1p extra. It may be only 1p but we weren’t even informed of this and anywhere else I have been the split has been to the exact amount.

This was our second visit. It’s a cute space if a little cramped and our main waitress was friendly. There is a wide menu and maybe it should be reduced with a focus on quality. I had the elderberry crush which was it was explained was made with syrup- but far too much of it- after two tries, I went for a Diet Coke! I had the special- a mezze platter. There was no even vaguely Greek flavourings. The hummus was simply puréed chick peas, the falafel had no flavouring and the tzatziki was simply yogurt with grated cucumber. There was also a salad with feta and olives which was nice enough and the flatbread was warm. The panini with ham and cheese was fine.

I have visited the Doll's House a few times for coffee/tea and it's been okay. However, my last visit was disappointing. I ordered a coffee and a kid's hot chocolate, but was not given a kids menu. When I asked if they could make the luxury hot chocolate in a kids size, the server said yes, but charged me £5.50 for it, without mentioning an extra charge for an Oreo biscuit. After questioning the charges, the owner became unnecessarily aggressive and insisted on the additional charge. It was only after another worker showed me the kids menu that we realized I had been overcharged by 50p and that the prices were unclear and made up on the spot. Due to this dishonest behavior, I will not be ret...

A cute and quirky little place with an old world charm. It was one of those sunny November mornings when it was possible to sit on one of the few outdoor tables. This was fortunate as the small indoor seating areas (both at ground level and downstairs) were very congested, Not entirely sure the seating arrangements work in such a limited space. A further reservation is that, although the interior seems clean, there is a very pervasive odour of fried food. Perhaps better extraction and venting might be a good idea. Sitting outside is pleasant, however, as one can enjoy the views of the Harrow School on a bustling Sunday morning. It was nice to be served at our table rather than ordering insid...
