RARA DINING in Hillingdon

We cannot thank Pratap and the team enough. They did the catering and drinks for the whole day for our wedding, inc breakfast, lunch and reception service. All our guests complimented the food and service. They were very good at listening to the taste preferences for the food and made sure it was perfect on the day. Would highly recommend them for catering services.

I ordered on good to eat what I got was dogs dinner . The curry looked like someone's left overs with different types of chicken mixed in watery kind of mess ....sorry say to but I will never order again it was disgusting

Great hospitality.tasty food and very good catering services

Rara is fantastic. The food is exceptional and comes with a unique nepalese twist on standard Indian dishes. The paneer , chicken, naan , everything was made to a fresh hot quality standard. They catered our wedding and Pratap and his team from start to end were just amazing. They’re highly attentive and Pratap takes a lot of the stress away and has well established roots in the catering sector to help facilitate the catering process. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal and service. We thank Pratap and the whole team at RARA for everything they have done and they have got two life long customers who will continually come from afar to dine at the restaurant. The best butter paneer in the UK in my eyes and i love butter paneer. Would give more stars if i could 11/10

Rara did our catering for our wedding reception & I cannot fault them. Pratap was fantastic to speak to all year and we went in for multiple taster sessions and every time our mind was more at ease! On the day of the wedding, Pratap and the team were efficient, the food was fabulous and we had no issues. Highly recommend and even though we don't live close to the restaurant we will drive the extra distance to enjoy the beautiful food from our new favorite spot!!! X

Went again yesterday , don't know what happened to the staff! All were not very friendly. When asked for allergens in food, it was said its written in the plaque but clearly not written. When asked for something yes we are filling up were the words which was not sounding good. The food quality taste gave gone down compared to last visit. The veg Samosa was too oily and did not try it even due to oiliness. Overall if they improve back to original it would be good.

I ordered a Chicken Madras it was the worst ever all I could taste was pepper They are very unfriendly staff , not even a apology Best kept away from

I can highly recommend, all buffet food was great and kind service. Dessert could be better though

I did a lunch buffet today.. Overall Spice is light keeping in mind english customers base. Positives Chicken Lollipop was great. Vegetable spring rolls were the best. Fish fried - small in size - ok in taste Butter Naan bread was good too Staff was courteous Lamb curry was fine too. Pickle, mint chutney was good. Halal food 👍 Negatives -Dessert - cold piece of Jalebi - Pathetic (Who serves a cold jalebi in a pot with spoon. -Mix vegetables, paneer dishes - average (something not expected from an Indian restaurant. -Chicken curry wasn’t up-to the mark. But Offer on GroupOn was great.

The restaurant looks good from the outside. It's changed hands or at least its name a few times. The food was quite good, the inside decor and ambience isn't great but if food is your priority then it's pretty good. It needs a little indian themed decor on the inside. It literally has bare walls. With that and a little marketing, they could do better. They need decent Google or trip advisor presence.

We visited the restaurant twice in the same day. The food was good, and the portions were generous. Ms. Resmi provided excellent service, and the cooked Masala Chai was superb.

The location is good ,near train station and bus but that's pretty much it. We went for the buffet. It was just us and one more table. Food very limited , very salty and I'm usually fine with salt , but this was too salty. They lamb curry was definitely beef.we asked for water but no ice ,we had to ask for ice , they keep asking us for drinks . The only had to serving table, no busy at all but waiter had no smile ,no music and we asked was was the dessert she just said the name and just left . She did not explain what was in it .never again will I go there . At least a smile would have been nice.

Really lovely food, i visit almost every week.

To be honest, I've been coming here for a few years, at least once every two months. As a vegetarian, this is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is really delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is excellent. We always enjoy our visits!

My first and last time that I will go to this restaurant. We ordered traditional Momo, a portion of Chicken and one lamb, the size of the momos was a joke, they were si small that I could eat 3 in one bite and inly 6 per portion. The waiter said he would bring some poppadoms with the drinks order, they never arrived, the chicken lollypop is hardly any meat only batter, the nan was not a restaurant size and my Chicken Karahi was full of onions and peppers, I was eating the nan with just sauce as there was hardly any chicken. I won't be going back.

We hired Rara to cater for our civil partnership party. The food was delicious and the service was excellent throughout. So many of our guests commented on how great the food was, and we were delighted to tell them the name of the restaurant. The bar staff also worked extremely hard for the whole event. Would fully recommend as event caterers :)

Worst service . Think about it before you go

Went Lunch buffet, too low of options, think like 5 dishes in total. The rice it was so hard that it got stuck in my teeth, getting Rice wrong says a lot. The waiter was kind and helpful. But yeah wouldn't recommend.

Buffet Service is superb value for money. Choices are limited to Chicken curry and a lamb curry and Samsosas are nice but more potato then chicken. Chilli Paneer is lovely. Nasan is made fresh when required and staff are very attentive, hut it was quiet at the time. Fruit is okay and jalebi was tasty. Food was hot and not sitting for long periods. Well worth another visit.

Ordered takeaway, the momo is fantastic, the curries are flavourful but my curry had pieces of bone in there which chipped my tooth. Otherwise I would give 5 stars.

We had a family get-together/dinner (25 people) last night and had a great time. The food and service is 10/10. I would strongly recommend this place.

I always head for this excellent restaurant when I’m in the area. Awesome food, great friendly helpful and very polite staff. Very good value for money.

Delicious food with a quick service a great spot for sure!!

Great Experience Thank you for everything

Love your food... Always before time good delivery coming nice and hot. I ask not to cook so spicy and it's just perfect always. Thank you! Making mine and my sons stomachs happy! ;)

Great local place with lovely service - manager is always available to ensure we are well served. Food is great and tasty and good portions. We are regulars here

Food is always excellent. Tasty without being too pricey. Our favourite local.

Food was really delicious and satisfied service.

Very delicious food and excellent service...👍👌

I had a take away from this place and the food was cold. I didn’t enjoy the food as it was very greasy.

Pratap and his team did an amazing job for our last minute home catering. Delicious food and amazing service. highly recommend RARA.

Very friendly and polite staff who were always on hand whenever we needed anything. Food was great, I would recommend the chicken momo which I tried for the first time and it did not disappoint!

very nice atmosphere. friendly and professional service. food very good. very nice and pleasant place

Excellent food and catering for our party at home.

Just been to Rara Dining this evening and we were amazed by the service, atmosphere and quality of the food. We never felt rushed despite it being quite busy. Nice atmosphere in the place - staff really nice too. The momos and onion Bhajis were incredible amd all the other dishes were excellent. We will definitely be back soon Would 100% advise anyone in London or around this area to come here. Thanks 🙏

Great local restaurant. Really tasty and well presented food. Good value too.

Nice people here. The prices are fair for what you get. Service needs work, but enjoyed the meal. They need to work on consistency.

Great tasting food with large portions. Great value and service.

Had a nice dinner, the food was fab and the girl who served us did a great job. Will be going here again !!

Love the food so nice. Good customer service enjoy being there. Thanks

This restaurant was surprisingly good, especially if you like your food spicy. The Rogon Josh Lamb dish is my new favourite. The meat slook cooked for hours and was super soft. A real treat!

Excellent food, drinks, everything is awesome. All the staff were amazing. The internal environment wow.

Amazing staff, great food and service!

It was an awesome feeling out of the home, I feel really good, as Kathmandu to eat Momo and Dal Bhat.

Food was good 👍 service was great to.

The momo was so seriously undercooked, that it came out like raw mince paste

Lovely food, lovely staff and lovely atmosphere ✨

Really nice food and friendly staff

Amazing food ..excellent service. Nice and friendly atmosphere. Definitely going back👌

My family and I always love to come here. Staff so friendly, food is very tasty (eg this is the only place that I like mogo!), amazing value for money.

I found this restaurant randomly few months ago. After trying eat first time I became regular customer. I have tried vegetarian and non vegetarian too. They have many options in their menu. For drink and food not for beer 🍺 The service is excellent 👌 The staff is friendly, helpful and polite My favourite dishes are Rara special Fish curry, Fish pakoda, veg biryani, veg noodles are amazing 🤩 as usual. Highly recommended 👍

Very nice restaurant establishment in the south Ruislip area. The quality of food was above average could’ve done slightly better. Maybe it was due to the fact that they specially open for us on a night when they closed so they were not up to their a game but the food was was very nice

Delicious food. Some dishes had a good twist. Very friendly staff. Will recommend👍🏽

The food and service are very good. Very friendly staff.

Great experience, food was amazing! Would definitely recommend and will be coming again soon!

I've only twice, ever had the pleasure of indulging in Nepalese cuisine, the best hand in a kitchen to have ever touched a plate. The experience and service is just as good as the food. Thank you

Delicious food, friendly staff, we have an enjoyable evening here. We ordered four starters and four mains, plus rice and naan. Fish and lamb are particularly tasty.

Starters were excellent with moderately good main courses. Service is very good and on time. Waiters were very friendly and warm welcoming. Only point of improvement is the main courses which could be made better. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Great food and speedy service, have used them for takeaway twice and both times the food was great

RARA is a delightful modern Indian restaurant that blends traditional flavors with a contemporary twist. A culinary adventure awaits!

The best butter curry sauce I've ever had! Everything was amazing and delicious. Very fairly priced too!

Was here last Friday and I must recommend this place as all the dishes we ordered were very tasty and appetizing all I can say is I will definitely be going there again

So DISAAPOINTED to say the least : Rude , dis-organised staff! Went out for my dads birthday as a family, waiter/manager quick to take menu away, had a call back as not everyone ordered, they asked for starters first. The starters came, however we had to wait a very long time for the mains. When the mains came the staff didn't know what dishes they were serving us, only part food came out, as my rice getting cold, asked to take away until full dish was ready, we saw a member of staff put his finger in one of the dishes to check what it was, it was CHAOS! some started eating only to find it wasn't the dish they ordered (they ate lamb instead of chicken).. Terrible shame as the food that arrived most of it was actually nice, (but wasn't sure what it was!)

Nice, tasty, fresh food. It's definitely worth coming back.

The food and service was good. Nice ambience, one person running around quite a lot.

Just used Rara for our wedding, and the food was excellent (lots of compliments); menu was varied and tasty; and service was great. So many compliments from our guests. Thank you to the excellent service by the team!

Used Rara Dining via the ‘Too Good To Go’ app this evening . We have never used them before and I have to say we will be using them again! The food was hot and amazingly tasty, the staff were warm and friendly. The Magic Bags were ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well worth the 6 mile round trip!

Had a great time dinning there coz of the atmosphere and the service we get. Great food amazing experience. Loved it.

Ordered 3 dishes- onion bhaji, dal tadka and basmati rice. Onion bhjiya was very oily, rice was just plain boiled white rice, dal tadka was exceptional to the rule and was tasty, hence one star, and not zero. Food was supposed to be worth £18, but I was still hungry after eating everything. They will write back with a rude reply insulting the customer as they have done with several people who were not happy with their food and service.

It was a good deal on Wowcher, Madras was hot compared with elsewhere, (was warned by the waiter!) Quite noisy from the party in other section of the restaurant, nan bread was small and flat. Some starter portions were tiny.

So we went to this restaurant after coming across on groupon and then went onto their website to check their menu. Sounded good they have lot of offers like 2for1, lunch buffet etc. We went for 2for1 as we wanted to have momo and we really like it. Everything we had was yummy and I would definitely recommend this place

We really had a great time . The food , the customer service, the ambience everything were perfect. Highly recommend this place..

I recently had the pleasure of dining at RARA, and I must say, it was a mixed experience. Let's start with the positives. The food at RARA was absolutely fantastic. The flavors were vibrant and delicious, particularly the curry dishes. Each bite was a burst of aromatic spices and mouthwatering goodness. It's clear that the chefs at RARA have a deep understanding of flavor profiles and know how to create an unforgettable dining experience. Another highlight of my visit was the exceptional customer service. The staff at RARA were friendly, attentive, and eager to accommodate any special requests. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable and memorable. Their genuine warmth and professionalism added an extra layer of satisfaction to the meal. However, there were a couple of disappointments that prevented me from fully embracing RARA as a top-notch restaurant. Firstly, the beverage selection, particularly in terms of beers, was quite limited. As a beer lover, I was hoping for a more extensive variety to complement the flavorful dishes. Unfortunately, RARA fell short in this aspect. Furthermore, to my dismay, the beer tap was not working during my visit. It was disappointing to be unable to enjoy a fresh, cold draft beer alongside my meal. While technical difficulties can happen, it was unfortunate that it occurred during my dining experience. Overall, RARA offers a culinary journey filled with incredible flavors and excellent customer service. However, I would suggest that they expand their beer selection and ensure that their equipment is in good working order to enhance the overall dining experience. With these improvements, RARA has the potential to become an even more remarkable destination for food enthusiasts.

Great food Ready I enjoy yesterday Thank you so much

Love this place, went for a lunch buffet with my family and it’s was lovely, so much variety and all very tasty, staff were polite and very welcoming. Will be back again.

Food was really delicious, prices are fair and good location. Often good offers from groupon, great buffets, love it.

Excellent home catering service provided by Rara for a small event. Staff were courteous and provided professional customer services. Food was fresh, delicious and abundant. Service was on time and everything was provided as described and discussed. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family 👍

Great service, tasty food and a lovely place to dine in as well. Everything came out in a timely manner. We had four starters and four mains, plus rice and naan. All food was flavoursome. Their fish dishes are particularly great.

as we were working in the area we thought we would try this place. firstly we felt we was not welcome. When the food arrived the curry was way to hot (madras) useing to much chilly powder and no green chilly. absolutely no taste just to hot. naan rice the next table to use were 2 older guys ine had a chicken korma and the other one a madras and they both were the same as each other verry hot. the korma didnt even look like a korma it was dark in colour. good points food hot naan very tasty and not expensive. unfortunately we will not be going there again

Brilliant food, excellent service!! Every dish flavoursome, already planning next visit😄, thank you Pramod for such lovely service.

Groupon deal and reviews made this decision easy! I was visiting my Bestie in Wealdstone and drove down from Silverstone Saturday and saw the Deal on Friday...I rang bang on 5pm (opening times 12-2 & 5-10.30 weekends) and placed order explaining I had just come off motorway m40 and was parked in Disabled Bay literally around the corner and was having a fag as my reservation time 5.30 and wanted to get to final destination so wanted it as a takeaway I walked in at 5.20 to see several peand families already dining in this small restaurant ~ (always a good sign) & smells coming from kitchen n it's Hatch (Small but could see some chefs cooking!) were making the taste buds and noses attention for sure. Chicken Tikka and Tandoori Chicken starters were yummy 😋. As recommended in several reviews my pal had lamb saag wv plain basmati rice and thoroughly enjoyed hers. As am ex chef I am quite funny about fish & Lamb but decided to Try Lamb Rogan Josh wv Garlic Rice. OMG it was so Tender with plenty of chunks cooked in a rich sauce that would normally have me reaching for either Hot pepper sauce or tobasco sauce but Nope Was NOT NEEDED. The flavours and vegetables used were Wonderful..can recommend It's the BEST CURRY I have had since moved from Wembley to Bicester. With the voucher and discount the bill was £12.54 Total. A Fantastic Groupon Voucher for 2 people am well impressed. Give it a go what you got to lose 😍 😋 Delicious and portion size was ample. I have already bought 2 more as gifts.. Delightful Place real cosy and great choice for all course's and can't wait to drive the 56 miles to experience a sit down meal with husband and daughter next time so hope this has helped you snap up a Great Groupon Meal for 2

Nice vegetarian food, and service also good food was tasty due to I am vegetarian so i don't know about non vegetarian food

Nice place, staff and good food

Enjoyed our dinner at Rara! We tried few of their starters which were quite nice. Mains wise we enjoyed mild to spicy Madras curry.

Went there for buffet lunch. What an incredible deal. £10 per head and eat as much as you like. I really don't think you'll get a better value in the whole of London. Not only was it great value, the food was fresh and very tasty. The variety you get for this little money is commendable. Will definitely be going back. Keep up the great work.

Good quality and good portion Indian food. The lunch buffet is also really good - good variety of things with unlimited naan.

My friend and I visited RARA Indian & Nepalese restaurant last night using a Groupon voucher. As a vegetarian there was plenty of choice and we struggled to decide what to order! In the end we opted for the samosa chaat, veg momo, aubergine and potato bhaji and paneer butter masala, accompanied by both garlic and peshawari naan. All dishes were beautifully cooked, flavoursome and delicious! The service were extremely friendly and efficient; staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and to our delight surprised us with complimentary masala chai to finish off our meal (thank you!). The decor was pleasant and the toilets were spotlessly clean. This restaurant is a hidden gem and I hope to visit again before too long!

Ordered through Too Good To Go. The magic food bag was tasty and definitely worth it for the price paid. The only catch is that is (1) they insist on being given a call after booking on TGTG otherwise the food isnt ready when you show up - this could mean a wait of upto 30minutes while they prepare it and (2) If you don't call in advance and the food isnt ready, you're not allowed to wait in the restaurant. You have to stand outside - rain,wind or sun!

Went here using a groupon voucher and what an absolute bargain!! My family and I shared a selection of starters including Papdi chaat, veggie samosas, chilli paneer and we loved every one of them. Everything is so flavourful and the ingredients tasted fresh. For mains we had butter chicken, chicken saag, lamb josh and more with garlic naan, boiled rice and pilau rice etc. the meat was tenderly cooked and incredibly flavourful. Highly worth a visit! We loved this place and will definitely be going back! My only complaint would be that they do not have a wide dessert menu.

Had some great meals recently, the butter chicken is lovely and their naan bread is amazing!

Excellent service and food. Probably the best I have tried to be honest.

Was not as expected , Food quality bad ..

We love this place. Ordered here twice via too good to go. Great value getting rice a veg side and a paneer main for only £5. The food is incredible and will be definitely ordering again.
