Welcome to Ritu London

“ HALAL STATUS: Fully Halal food menu (duck subject to availability (phone ahead); prepped & cooked separately) • Alcohol served. Ritu certainly put the 'seasons' of India into its new tasting menu, which offered enough quality and variety to make our first visit to this restaurant a truly memorable one. Muslim Head Chef Shoeb Haider churned out one quality dish after another, with some we'd never had before, such as Ritu's version of a Pasanda, and the Gajjar Ka Halwa Strudel; and others we're not going to be forgetting in a hurry, with one or two that'll probably be in the offing for our end of year awards. With a solid 4.5/5 rating, there's plenty to admire here, with many more intriguing dishes worth revisiting for. Respect to Ritu! ”

“ 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. ”

“ An overall excellent experience. Our visit to Ritu was tremendously flavorful and welcoming. The biryani was presented on a bamboo container, the starters were tremendously good and the pulao with chicken tikka were also amazing. Excellent option here in the neighborhood. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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 ”

“ 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. ”

“ I went here with 3 other friends and we all really enjoyed the food. The waitress serving us was sweet, hospitable and generous with her suggestions for what we may enjoy. We ordered vegetarian for the table. I loved their paranthas. ”
