Blue Zenzer at Playgolf Northwick Park, Watford Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA1 3TZ

Do you like Italian food? Yes...I thought so. 
How about Indian food? Yeah? Suspected as much. 

Now, do you like an Indo-Italian fusion? Er...let me help you out on that one with a; bizarrely, yes.

After a golf lesson, a short time on the driving range and a harsh reminder that I am not the female equivalent of Tiger Woods I needed food, and I was in no mood to travel far for it. 

Blue Zenzer is a fan of large glass windows and due to this, from most tables you have a rather pleasant view. The vibe is non existent but then again it is full of people who have chosen to eat there as a pre or post golf/bollywood dance/karati (yeah, I know, strange combo) venue. 

The staff are pleasant but a teaspoon forgetful, and a tablespoon slow. 

The food is pretty darn hot. I mean that literally, it's spicy. 
The menu is predominantly Italian with Indian twists on virtually everything. For example: the ricotta and spinach ravioli is served in a spicy tomato sauce sprinkled with green chillies and some other indistinguishable yet certifiably sub-continental spice.
The mini calzones are filled with mild curry and the margherita picante is not arrabiata spicy, it's red chilli/green chilli/curry powder/chilli powder spicy...and, strangely, it works! 

Vegetarian options make up at least half of the menu, if not not more! Huzzah! 

If you find yourselves in Northwick Park, trying as hard to play golf as Tiger did to stay monogamous, then you're probably not trying all that hard. I suggest taking a break and having a munch on some food at Blue Zenzer; it's a hole in one...not quite...I know nothing about Golf.
