High-end Indian dining from former head chef of Benares

Ritu London

Really enjoyed Ritu. A classic Indian menu with curries, biryani and other traditional and relatively mainstream options. Everything we had was just great, the daal and shrimps were even better :)

We wanted to visit Ritu for a while due to its high ratings, however last minute booking for a group of 6 never worked out because the restaurant is fairly small and popular.

Finally we got lucky and managed to book a table to celebrate a birthday.

The restaurant lives up to its reputation (and our expectations) - small and cozy, quiet, with polite service and good quality food.

Things to keep in mind:
* book in advance - the place is popular
* fairly compact layout - there is no room for running around
* reasonable, but not enormous, selection of options
* relatively pricey (£300 for 6 people having mains and several starters, without alcohol)

We enjoyed our visit - thank you!

Initially thought the portion size would be small but turns out they're very generous. Bit pricey than your regular Indian but the quality and taste of the curries is honestly good.

Typically you would find that a lot of the Indian restaurant will use the same base curry for all the curries on the menu this was not the case.

I wanted the goat curry but turns out their menu has recently been updated. Lady spoke with the chef and hey presto I got my goat curry!

Other half did mention that the duck was dry and slightly overcooked for her liking.

Honestly atmosphere is a vibe. Highly recommend.

Excellent Indian food - portions aren’t very big but the flavors are spot on. Love the laziz pasanda, the bhindi achari, the lotus stem chaat and the mango lassi. Good service and cute decor. Will be back!

Came back for dinner and it was amazing - the nizami handi, the alleppy fish curry, the gunpowder prawn and the tawa pulao were delicious. Good / attentive service, the only downside is that they don’t accept Amex which is a bit ridiculous considering dishes are expensive / priced at a premium.

A beautiful restaurant which is a hidden gem. The moment you walk in you are welcomed and the service continues lead by Francis the GM.

The food was absolutely delicious. Chef Shoeb delights us with his cooking taking us on a journey of pure pleasure.

The biryani is a must especially as it is made in a bamboo and served at the table.

This is a place we will be returning and I can’t wait to try some of the other dishes on the menu.

All the food is Halal and mocktails are available

All our dishes are Halal and there aren’t any chances of cross-contamination.

Tortilla and burrito joint that charges extra for guacamole!

Tortilla Finchley Road

Although the location is behind an extremely busy coach stand, the interior is really nice and peaceful. There were a lot of seats available and the two people at the ordering place were nice. The order was quick and I could choose what I wanted. I went for the quesadilla.

The food was excellent!

I really enjoyed creating my own meat bowl here! I went with a base of rice , added grilled steak and topped it off with beans, salsa, cheese, guacamole, and a spicy sauce. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-portioned.

The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and I liked that I could customize it exactly how I wanted. It was filling, satisfying. The staff was friendly and made the process quick and easy.

I’ll definitely keep coming back and I highly recommend this place !

To the beautiful Angel who made my bowl

Thank you so much for honouring my request, you see I was possessed by the spirit of glutton and greed so I requested extra everything 😂
You special human went above and beyond! Everything was delicious! Best hungover meal so far

Clean place with polite staff . Good portions . Parth served me and he was very attentive and kind . Also another member of staff , asked whether our meal was nice :)

Dined here a few time already. Great potential and overall good but the employees doesn’t know how to create and roll the wrap which hurt the overall experience and taste. Please teach them how to do it.

@halal_chronicles's review of Zero Zero Camden on Instagram

Zero Zero Restaurants

Good experience.. food was brought to us promptly, good fair sized portions slightly bland with the bolognese but everything else was really nice.. Staff were very polite, everything is halal even the drinks and beer 🍻 also. Most importantly they had a prayer room.. Very Halal friendly. Good authentic Italian food.

honest review:

perfect place for a real halal Italian experience! the menu is great. the drinks menu was endless with so much to choose from. absolutely love how everything is halal and non-alcoholic. it’s so incredibly accommodating and you get a real vibe of fine dining without the alcohol.

the setting inside is lovely, clean and spacious. good customer service. only thing I would say is for a spice lover I wish they were more generous on the chilli sauce, we were given a small pot of it. the prices are also quite high, a meal for 3 came up to £80.

however this is the perfect place for a date night! will definitely be back soon.

What a fantastic place! This is a gem hidden inside the O2! Amazing italian food with lots of non-alcoholic wines, spirits etc.
We loved the food, the drinks, decor and ambience. Staff was fantastic! Shoutout to Mehdi, Najib and Zakaria for looking after us!
We had the Peach Spritz and Gin and Tonic to start with (all non-alcoholic!)
As starters we choose the popcorn chicken and aubergine parmigiana - both were absolutely delicious!
And it kept getting better! We had the Pesto and Pancetta pizza and the spaghetti king prawn - great big portions and super delicious!
We then had some coffee and the dessert trio and they were all also super amazing! A mix of tiramisu, panna cotta, torta della nonna was absolute heaven!
Highly recommend and will most definitely return!

On entering the restaurant, there was a member of staff sat at the reception desk. He didn’t smile or say hello but just sat there texting on his phone. Not a great first impression. After a few minutes someone else came over & seated us. The starters; calamari and deep fried pasta both nice but The pizza was not great- hardly any cheese (see pic) and uncooked cherry tomatoes placed on top & area’s burnt on the bottom Pasta main just ok.
The o2 centre In Finchley Road is dead & lots of the restaurants upstairs are gone. There is nothing inspiring or desirable left in the o2 centre and restaurants have to try harder if they expect to thrive in these environments. Unfortunately the experience here was very average and unlikely to visit again.

Newly opened, Zero Zero Restaurant is the right place where you can have a great time for dinner, or enjoy their extensive food offer on a quick lunch break.
Great quality food, amazing flavours in a very genuine"home feeling".
Pizza and Pasta are the highlights of the menu that you can try in various combinations.
The open kitchen is a very attractive point of the restaurant layout.
Staff is super friendly, smiling and enthusiastic to walk you through the different options of drink and food.
A MUST try is the "parmigiana", delicious and very delicate. My pizza was great! Soft dough and LIGHT!
Really recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Zero Zero embrace a zero alcohol philosophy, which is becoming more and more popular in this days.
Don’t miss the sparkling wine with your starters.
Have fun!

Warm, narrow eatery offering modern Persian cuisine

Belgrave Restaurant

Absolutely impressed by the incredible Persian flavors and stunning presentation! Every dish is a work of art. The mezze platter is a must-try—packed with vibrant flavors—and their cocktails are just as impressive. A perfect blend of taste and style. Can’t recommend it enough!

impressed by the exceptional quality of food. We always experience a remarkable service and food as we go to Belgrave a lot. The ambiance of the small space is inviting, and I must say, Belgrave offers the best Persian cuisine I have ever enjoyed. The flavors are truly worth every pound. They have a very friendly service.
Never a bad meal at Belgrave. Best mezze we’ve tried. Order everythjng, especially the kashk bademjoon. Tachins are wondrously succulent and delicious. Today I tried Dizzi and it was so delicious. Finish the meal off with tea! Prompt and friendly service. Can’t wait to head back!👏👏❤️

I had an incredible experience at this Persian restaurant in London. The ambience was absolutely amazing, creating a delightful atmosphere. The food surpassed my expectations with its delicious flavors and enticing presentation. Additionally, the staff were exceptionally warm and friendly, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, this restaurant is one of the best Persian establishments I have ever tried in London.

Belgrave was a wonderful experience. The service is simple & personalized (the waitress took the time to suggest my one appetizer regarding my first choice she made me changed my mind - she took the time to explained me the presentation of the dish). The restaurant is charming, well decorated and clean. The dish are prepared with attention, tasty & generous in term of portion. The food is also quite cheap; 5-8£ for a glass of wine, between 3-6£ for appetizers and around 12-13£ for a main course.

I really enjoyed my experience and I would recommend it to anyone who had not tried before Iran culinary food.

Lovely decor, nice atmosphere. The service was great. The food presentation was amazing.
I'm not sure if the bread was freshly made. The portion of ice cream was very small. I don't like that they served Saffron pudding with pomegranate juice.
