"They have a tendency to seat people close together, which may not be ideal for everyone. Personally, I prefer not to sit with strangers. However, overall it was a very positive experience. The food was freshly cooked, although we found it a bit bland. In the future, we will be sure to request more spice. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was pleasant, and the food and drinks were very affordable."

"We went with my family for dinner. Soon as we entered we were greeted and taken to the table which made us feel very welcomed. The staff were friendly and were able to suggest us the special dishes of the restaurant. The food were served quickly and they were fresh and very delicious. All our family members enjoyed our time here and looking forward to our next meal out here and highly recommend to everyone."

"No parking, other than out the front or one of the car parks near by. Venue is ok, clean tidy. It seems more aimed at the younger generation. They have around 7 large screens up so if you like sport it’s on all day! Probably not somewhere I’d take the Mrs Kids but more of a blokes place to go, I had the medium Mixed Grill Chips. If your going to sell Masala Chips you need to put Masala sauce on them not a sprinkle of spices. Great place though! Nice staff I’ll be back"

"I wish I could give this restaurant no stars DO NOT GO THERE AT ALL. Everything about this restaurant was bad the food service atmosphere. We decided to order 2 starters and because the food was so bad we decided to leave and go somewhere else however when we tried paying the bill they were rude and screaming at us because we didn’t order more food. They refused to give us the bill and when we tried paying the guy made up a number for us to pay. We got screamed at by them the food was disgusting so I would suggest you do not go there and go where you can get your moneys worth because this place is not it. Furthermore the whole time we were there they made us feel very uncomfortable by looking at us weirdly and secondly by forcing us to order food we are customers so it’s our choice what we want to eat. This place needs to be shut down!!!!!!!!"

"Since the well-run and ever better informed diners of london visit the market for authenticity, it is interesting to see how the restaurant of the middle market Indian' is coming. where I come from, no single Indian restaurant is operated by a person who has ever been in india (the family behind the taj mahal originates from karachi, and the man who promises a taste of india, hails from chittagong.) but in the city london and in countless suburbs, we have come to accept, embrace and always ask we go for a curry' instantly connotable asses of mild deception, civil and frivole entertainment and feel very full with delicious meat and fat. and there is always this beautiful moment when they serve them a laminated menu of frozen desserts in a plastic penuin that they would have rejected, even if they were not too full again because it is a disturbing picture. sripur is close to my office, zomato informed me, so I led us there about a precurry doombar in the cheshire Cheese./ and yes, in the old of dishoom, food trucks and Michelin-starred curry kitchen, the mid-market curry house of the city is alive and well. / I say the medium market because for two of us, with a poppadom, a tandoori mixed grill everyone, say chana, roti and naan, plus two large kingfishers each, the bill came to £60. < br>/ but it was great. not spectacular, but the mixed grill was exactly what they want to stand at this price point among these. the keema was substantial, the fehde. the naans were a bit thin and crispy for my personal taste, but they said and channa were both deliciously fed. and kingfisher is kingfisher a sin qua non of a good (british) curry experience./ was sripur as location service is friendly enough, efficient and uninvasive. it is mainly colonized by some men in suits. not the loud, obnoxic art, but a smashing, something behind their best gray-handed-the-ears chaps with loose ties and the intention of a £40 taxi house in front of them. / could have had another curry for it."

"I had a wonderful birthday meal at this restaurant tonight. After returning to the area, I took a chance on booking a table here because it was a favorite spot from my childhood and I even worked here for a few years as a young adult. I was delighted to find that the bar was just as welcoming and friendly as I remembered, and even some of my old neighbors from my childhood greeted me by name, which made me very happy! The food was exceptional... My friend and I started with momos, served by the friendly waitress, Sonia. The mixed grill and lamb vindaloo were absolutely delicious! We had to take some home because we couldn't finish it all. Thank you for a lovely meal- I will definitely be back soon."

"Tharavadu is a breath of fresh air. It brings something to Leeds that you'd usually have to travel to neighbouring Bradford to find. With typically unheard of dishes, it moves away from the traditional British curry' and instead presents to us a true reflection of what food is like in South India along the Karalan coast line (I presume). It shows us what a dosa should be like. It shows us what else there is out there other than a chicken bhuna/balti/tikka masala. It shows us true passion in it's food. We booked weeks ahead for a Saturday night table for 8 diners at prime time. We walked in and were shown to our seats immediately. The restaurant is fairly small so I would always advise...read more"

"I usually never write bad reviews as it's best to say nothing at all if you don't have anything nice to say. Also we are quite easy to please. However, this restaurant is just atrocious. Rude waitresses who didn't know what was on the menu! Rude service when pushing people out of the way to place food on the table. Orders wrong. 2 hour wait for main course and restaurant was empty. Accompaniments clearly out of a jar......one being Strawberry jam with chicken! I kid you not! Drinks spilt on guests. Food brought out at different times. The list goes on and on. Like I said, usually I don't write bad reviews but this was too poor to miss."

"The food was good but not exceptional. The portions were big, I couldn't eat it all which is unusual as we didn't do the usual over order. I would say its very good value and very acceptable, but I am always looking for that something special with the spices in an Indian which this didn't quite deliver. But I would go back and try again as it was Friday night and not always the best night to try an Indian."

"Today I purchased some samosas and chicken rolls, as well as hulwa puri, from this restaurant. Unfortunately, all the food had a bad smell. I had to return everything because it was not fresh. When I returned the food, the staff was very rude and mentioned that every shop sells food from the previous day or a couple of days old. They admitted that none of the food is fresh. I have recorded their statement and will be filing a complaint with the health council. They did not even offer an apology. I will not be returning to this restaurant again."

"good atmosphere, although the thema was a little for the time of the year. in the april of Christmas lights and renting to be surrounded, but I guess the note is in the name has a good evening and we chose the cheese plates that were beautiful, with a good selection of cheese and meat, as well as brot and salat. the live music was a bit average in the evening, we were there, and not very long, but in all, a good evening and a delightful ton was of all. the most important thing for me was that they actually sold boe violet gin, which can be difficult to come, and is a personal fave tipple of me, so definitiw an extra star just for it!"

"The service was very poor. A simple request to have papadums straight away whilst we selected the rest of our order was refused, as it is more convenient for the staff to enter the whole order at once. How hard can it be to add the papadums in, once the full order is taken? Who are we there to please, the customers or the waiters? Then we were expected to eat our main course with the same dirty plates and cutlery as the starters, all covered in chutneys which would spoil the flavour of the main course. The slightly rude waiter said he was willing to give us new plates (though he didn't sound very happy about it) but we must keep our dirty knives and forks. Making us feel like we were serving him! It's not cheap, either. That kind of attitude might be got away with in a cheap cafe, but this is not right. In fact, even the cheapest workmen's cafes serving egg and chips always offer fresh cutlery for each course. Also the music level was too high. We asked for it to be turned down but it was still too high and so we could not hear ourselves. The proprietors seem to think a good restaurant is a loud, noisy restaurant! Not true. The food itself was very good, but I would hesitate to come back as everything else was just...wrong."

"Diwali wasn’t my first choice in North Camp as its Google reviews scores are the lowest in the area. There’s a lesson here: don’t always trust the numbers – it’s without doubt my favourite Indian restaurant in the ‘hood. I’ve dined here at least once and often twice a-week whilst staying in Farnborough. The food is enjoyable, especially the Chicken Chettinand (with extra green chillies), Tawa and Naga when accompanied with Jeera Rice (which itself is not often offered by Indian restaurants). Diwali is also reasonably priced with a curry rice often being a few pounds less than other establishments, and given the food is good, represents very good value indeed. The staff are always really friendly and welcoming and every visit is a pleasure. So, if you’re reading this you can be sure I’ll be returning when in Farnborough and, if you’re thinking about a visit I’d recommend it."

"Really enjoyed my meal at this restaurant tonight with my son. The mixed grill starter was gigantic and delicious. Prawns, chops, kebab, three types of chicken. Even better, the restaurant serves pakora the more scrumptious big brother of the bhaji. Chicken pakora isn’t “officially” on the menu but they will make it for you if you ask. It was tender and delicious, the batter light and delicate. For mains we had chicken achari and butter chicken both good. Plus a lovely dahl that had been simmered overnight. Great breads too. The decor is attractive. Tablecloths, napkins and soft music add to the feeling of comfort. The restaurant was full of Indians, which gave us added confidence in the food and contributed to the sense that we were enjoying authentic home cooking. Everyone was having a lovely time and the vibe was very relaxed. Best of all, the staff could not have been nicer. Predominately female. The manageress was full of life kind, sweet and charming. Overall we think this place is a hidden gem. The parade of shops it’s located in looks pretty lousy, so it’s not going to get many passers by dropping in. But it’s worth a visit, without any doubt."

"Went to celebrate my friends birthday. There were quite a lot of us and to make it easier, we sent our menu choices ahead of the meal. I went here quire a few years ago and it was very nice. In the past year or so it always looked quiet but has recently picked up and the reviews are good. Plus it seems to have had a bit of a makeover. All I can say is the service was excellent. They handled the large group of us brilliantly. Staff were extremely friendly. We all enjoyed our food. It seems to have more flavour than other Asian places. I loved my meal, but one person had the fish starter. I tried it and tbh it was one of the nicest dishes I have ever had. I will return again soon. Also the portion sizes are good and it seems to be good value as well. Well done. We all had a great time."

"On the 170m walk up Brick Lane from the Premier Hub, this critically acclaimed restaurant was the only curry house not to harass me to eat, convincing me that passing the other 22 curry houses was worth it. Was it? The window is adorned with reviews like a heavyweight boxer’s trophy room (See images) with the diners inside tucking in , but is it really The King of Brick Lane”? They have a dedicated vegan menu (1st in Brick Lane) with a mix of traditional vegan specialties and plenty of plant based meat substitute dishes too (see menu) with a Bangladeshi Indian influence. [hidden link] A good measure of a older style trad restaurant is the Thali and it was up there with the best of the best. I’ve read why folk want it to be 5 stars and I couldn’t agree more on flavour alone. Shahi Sahakari Thali £18.95 Shahi Sahakari loosely translates as The vegan king . A thali style platter containing a mixture of uribeeshi biran, bombay aloo, begun daal gatta, chowle achar, chappati and rice… The Bombay Aloo had a warming comforting flavour and the potatoes intact but fluffy and soft. The Begun Daal Gatta was a stunning dish of lentils and aubergine (begun) garnished with a fine selection of herbs. This medium spiced curry really did wow me and I’d like it as a main. The Uribeeshi Biran is the beans of a a runnerbean (uribeeshi) which have been fried (biran) with onions and a blend of spices. The beans have bite and work well with the rice although drier than I’d imagined. The Chowle Achar was a surprise as it’s not listed on the Thali menu! The kabali chickpeas are pan cooked with mixed garlic, ginger, punch poron and blended with spread pickle, accompanied by a delicious thin sauce. They were cooked to perfection and with the chapati were second only to the daal as my favourite. The rice and chapati were nice but I had to order an extra chapati so I could ensure every bowl was wiped clean and finished. Not a morsel left. If I’m to be critical, it was expensive and I’d have preferred the Thali on a Thali plate with a little more rice and 2 chapatis, but I couldn’t fault the cooking."

"My long awaited visit to Ravishankar restaurant on Drummond Street in London with my family turned out to be disappointing. The restaurant was empty on a Monday afternoon, and the sole waiter 's rudeness and lack of hospitality ruined our dining experience. To my dismay, I later found similar negative reviews online, indicating recurring service issues at the restaurant. I had been eagerly planning a visit to Ravishankar restaurant on Drummond Street in London since morning, as I wanted to make my parents feel at home during their visit to London. Being an Indian, I was hopeful that we could enjoy some delicious Indian cuisine together and create wonderful memories. However, our experience at the restaurant turned out to be quite disappointing. Despite our excitement, the restaurant was totally empty on a Monday afternoon, and there was only one waiter present. He greeted us in a disheartening manner by carelessly throwing the napkins on the table instead of placing them nicely. When I politely addressed the issue, he responded with rudeness, refusing to serve us and raising his voice. What puzzled us the most was the waiter 's inexplicable comment, This is not India, I will not serve you. It was a completely inappropriate response that left us questioning what point he was trying to make. Regardless of cultural differences or location, a restaurant should always strive to provide excellent service and treat all customers with respect and hospitality. To my dismay, upon returning home, I decided to check online reviews and discovered that multiple people had experienced similar service issues at Ravishankar restaurant. One person shared a similar rude encounter during the evening hours, which indicates a recurring problem with the restaurant 's service. It is disheartening to witness that such negative experiences are not isolated incidents but rather a pattern. As someone who was looking forward to having a pleasant dining experience with family, it 's deeply concerning to see that other patrons have also faced the same treatment. I hope this review serves as an alert to the owner/management about the ongoing service problems at Ravishankar restaurant. Every customer deserves to be treated with respect and hospitality, regardless of the time of day or the number of diners present. Improving the quality of service should be a top priority to ensure a positive dining experience for all guests and to restore the restaurant 's reputation for authentic Indian cuisine and warm hospitality."
