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.

We had breakfast here, where we ordered shakshuka, French toast, and salmon with a bagel. The food was so delicious that Omar served us. He was very friendly and considerate, and he did his job very well. The coffee was also good.chef cooked food by heart not with his hands. 👏

Great food. Really impressed with the taste and presentation of the food. Service was amazing too. Omar in particular was friendly, make sure the food was ok and generally very welcoming. Decor was also very pretty.

Definitely recommend having brunch here and try the Meditearean brunch dish..it was delicious! The Moroccan tea was also really good and presented in an authentic way.

My little oasis for a quiet shisha session, always feel comfortable here as solo woman. Shisha flavours great, fresh pipes each time and frequent coal change. Have blankets and outdoor heating. Omar is very friendly (and the other guys I’ve encountered). Accepts card payment. Clean toilet with bidet. Salmon bagel with diced potatoes delicious

Best halal brunch place in the area. Food is delicious and beautifully presented.  Staff are very friendly and welcoming. We come here once a week.

Delicious food, pretty interior and decent prices! My French Toast was slightly smaller than expected so I was a bit hungry after but still good.

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.

A fusion and refinement of Central Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Balkan dishes

Fora Restaurant

I really loved the atmosphere — it was warm and welcoming. The service was excellent: the staff were very polite, attentive, and always ready to help with any request. They organized a wonderful birthday celebration, sang Happy Birthday, and even brought a dessert with a candle, which made the moment really special. The food was delicious, and the prices were quite reasonable. Highly recommend this place!

I absolutely love Fora! Their food is fantastic, and I’m a regular customer who keeps coming back for more.

Nice and warm place for winter breakfast and fueling food is delicious and tasty I am really happy to try such halal Turkish food

I had such a pleasant experience from the moment my friend and I were seated. Loreta made us feel welcome straight away and took the time to explain what dishes work well together. Her recommendations were spot on — especially the shakshuka, which my friend absolutely loved.

Both Loreta and Cam were incredibly attentive throughout our visit. What made the experience even more special is how genuinely they seemed to enjoy their work. You can really see the pride they take in their roles, and it reflects in the service.

The presentation of our dishes was beautiful, and the taste was truly 10/10. We ended our meal with Turkish delight and tea, which was the perfect finishing touch.

I would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone looking for great ambiance, exceptional service, and amazing food in St John’s Wood. Thank you, Loreta and Cam, for a wonderful brunch!

Tasty food and good size portions as you would expect in Turkish restaurant. Had the Centik Special and I have to highlight the flavour of the tomato sauce, it was so rich and tasted like the real thing (is difficult to find this in the UK).
Our waiter was super friendly and approachable.
Before ordering I thought it was slightly expensive but we left satisfied, with good quality food, not greasy and a great service. Also service is not charged on top like most other places. So overall it was very good value for money.

Will return.

We serve Halal meat. Alcohol is also sold.
