High-end Indian dining from former head chef of Benares

Ritu London

The food was absolutely delicious, but the lamb biryani was the true highlight—rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. The service was warm and attentive, and the overall experience was outstanding. Definitely a place I’d recommend and return to

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!

Bright, in-season flavors and unique offerings in our experience of eating lots of Indian food. We took two friends out to eat here and were delighted by the experience. We spent a luxurious 2 hours eating, chatting and enjoying the relaxed, yet classy atmosphere. When we ordered we were given wonderful recommendations by our server which all turned out to be delicious. Highly recommend Ritu for a date night or a party with friends.

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.

The menu seems to be revamped for the better with more variety for vegetarians, and the customer service has been elevated several levels! Mr Francis was kind and paid a lot is attention to our needs. The restaurant is so much better after the temporary closure. Well done!

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