Four of us went for dinner and it was absolutely wonderful, pefectly cooked in a bag that you simply open and eat as it is, but being shellfish you don't need anything else except the claw crackers. We had the crab, lobster, prawns and mussles, all were delicious. Fries on the side but the sweet potato ones were the best. Very basic decor but great service. About £50 a head including wine and service but great quality and large portions. Will definitely go again.

We had to park the car along a near by road since the place doesnt have a dedicated parking space.The food is amazing. We tried different types of crab and all tasted very good. You have be ready to get messy if you want to try good crab meat.It is recommended to call and make a reservation since there was limited seating.Would definitely go again.

Amazing food!! .. had a lobster here, seasoning is great and the sauce is absolutely amazing !. Make sure to add some corn to the bag!! .. the price was very reasonable too, around £40 per person we paid, had a full lobster chips and prawns to share and a bottle of coke!!.

Great place to eat been here a few times and allways loved it the fish is fresh and the sauce are amazing, only issue the restaurant is a bit small I believe 4 tables well worth the wait prices are slightly expensive but the quality is amazing look to spend around £70/100 for 2 people with drinks

A really lovely cosy restaurant. The food was really flavoursome. We ordered the blue Sri Lankan crab, 18 medium prawns, and fries. Everything was really yummy. The service was great, and the staff were really attentive.If I could say one thing, that would be I hope in the near future they can make the restaurant a little bigger as it can feel a little congestive when in full service. Other than that, amazing restaurant and food. Definitely going there again.

Been meaning to try the Fat Crab for about 2 years - had takeaway Lobster and Soft-shell Crab - both were excellent. Lemon pepper fries and sweet potato fries also very good. I collected the order, it was ready at the time suggested when I phoned the order in and well packaged up for drive home. Would definitely recommend for seafood lovers.

So much promise.Tucked away on an unassuming road in Harrow you’ll find The Fat Crab, one of three restaurants dotted in and around London.At first glance, it appears to be a clumsily put together restaurant in a small, dark space hosting no more than five tables. But once you sit down, you realise there’s a lot of thought behind the concept. Inspired by the vibrant flavours of Sri Lanka, The Fat Crab provides a relaxed atmosphere to indulge in some truly delicious seafood boil.While the lobster and mussels, served literally in the bag it’s been cooked in, were flavourful and succulent, not everything was perfect.We ordered jumbo scallops and fried baby rice crabs to start. These were both disappointing, the crabs were under seasoned and over cooked while the scallops were underdone and really didn’t need to be breaded.Although we added prawns to our bags, they arrived sans-prawn. The staff quickly rectified this and brought us a portion of prawns in a separate dish, however these had not been cooked in the bag with all the flavours so while they were certainly plump, they were unfortunately bland.We walked away pretty satisfied with our meal, however the experience didn’t end there. Myself and my dining companion both suffered upset stomachs through the night. We suspect the undercooked scallops may have been the culprit, but can’t be sure.All in all, definitely one to try, but I’d recommend sticking to the boil bags.
