Reviews
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!
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.
