Rita's Samosa Centre in Ealing

Awful service, we came with children, waiters took so long, then when they did serve they shoved it in front of us. We hadnt complained because they were busy. But the service and food was lack lustre. Samosas were rock hard, chicken Lollipops were bordering being off, amritsari fish was rubbery. Pav Baaji was good

Very slow service, cold draft thru out and the food was very disappointing. Not good for vegetarians. The bhatura had a fragrance of fish. Definitely fried in a mix oil.

The food here is absolutely delicious. Whether you are vegetarian or eat meat, there is definitely something great to order. I've been coming here monthly for years now and never been disappointed. This coupled with the lovely staff members makes it a 5 star review from me.

The food was good value for money. However the waiter forgot part of the order. We managed without this dish. The food arrived freshly cooked.

What a jewel we found on our visit to south hall!!!!!We went there with our two extremely tired kids after a long day of excursion.Must say the staff was very helpful, accomodating and friendly.Gloria is the star.she recommended us what to eat and even got our food out quickly as my daughter was very tired.Will highly recommend if you are looking for the authentic Indian food/fast food.Must try the special chaat and flavoured apni pooori’s.

nice food but too expensive, the owner has got a habit of asking is that all? After you have placed an order. she can embarrass you Infront if other staff. The portion of chips are huge and they skank lots of money off you.

We visited this restaurant for lunch on a recent visit to southall. The food was freshly cooked , good portions and quality. The service was excellent and good value for money

Sehr langsame Bedienung und nicht freundlich ………………………………………essen war okay würde nicht noch mal hingehen …………………..

My wife and I visited Rita’s today. We were very impressed with staff friendliness, attentiveness and professionalism. The food was awsome. The starter was yummy. The main course was wonderful. If i could i would give 11/10 The staff member Julie was very good, polite and very good manners. Definitely will go there whenever we visit Southall.

Another trip to this lovely tradition restaurant, less time spent on decor tons on flavour! My most favourite aloo tikki, better than india ! Amazing prices for such great authentic food. The service is impeccable 👌 👏 🙌

Enjoyed an amazing lunch at Rita's this week. Food was first class, tasty and plenty of it. Served by Julie, who could not have been more friendly and helpful with menu choices. Very reasonable priced too.

The staff comes across rude, and have no manners. The food taste has also deteriorated. Chole was stale. To ask for pack the left over food, the waitress came and dumped the containers on the table to pack your food by yourself. You ask for water or anything, they just come bang the stuff on the table.

The maki di roti was good but the saag was awful. The owner stated the saag was made fresh. Please don't lie to us, it came out of a tin. He also stated it was the second most popular dish on the menu. Well on this day I agree to differ with you Sir.

Came here on a Wednesday night with friends. The menu is vast and there is something for everyone. My favourites were the Chole Batura. Very helpful owner who recommended really tasty / yummy home chaat, I will definitely return with more friends!

I was on my own and thought I would re visit Rita’s after 25 years. My old favourites Allo paratha,Saag, carrot pickle we’re just like home. It’s a shame it was almost empty but on paying I realised why. It’s on the pricey side. Service 3 food. 5 Price. 2

This area has parking issues, prepare to park a bit far & walk or take London transport. This place is excellent for snacks & savoury items.

Went there and got Food for my family the food was great well cooked and made i would recommend this place

Not impressed in the slightest. Rude staff, dirty and cramped. Waiters/waitresses have no enthusiasm and make you feel like they are doing you a favour! No proper napkins, the place could really do with a make-over. The food itself was OK, nothing special, not enough filling in the dosa. Really have to question the health and hygiene...

The waitress was lovely. That’s all I can say The food was horrid. Samosas were full of massed green stuff and over cooked or felt over from yesterday The saag only tasted of salt The prawn curry was out of a tin I didn’t not enjoy it at all The restaurant was undergoing a refit. And they started banging and doing stuff where diners were eating. It wasn’t my idea of a curry night out It was cheap prices. But I’d rather pay more and be able to eat and enjoy it. I would never return

I often have bought samosas here but they are very tight on chutney for 10 samosas they give 2 small tubs size of McDonald's sauces and when u ask for more they say Iv already given 2 those are only enough for 1 or 2 samosas n if we're buying 10 it's only common sense to give enough this was much better before the original owner had it now afghani singhs have taken over since last few years no wonder they are tight ....

This was a disgusting restaurant no disabled toilets or baby changing facility. As a result had a fall down the stairs and the manager was absolutely rude. The food was horrible and not fresh it seemed like the samosas were microwaved possibly from days before. Avoid at all costs it is such a disappointment.

Ridiculously expensive for what you get - greasy food that is cooked in old oil. Toilets are filthy and the place needs a good clean. The food is so overpriced it's offensive

Really enjoyed our late Dinner on Saturday night. Tasty Punjabi food along with good fast service. 100% recommend, please do visit.

Dropped in at Rita’s for lunch during a shopping trip to Southall. Was quite busy which shows it’s popularity. It was also recommended by a neighbouring g business where we were shopping. We ordered different kinds of chats for starters and tasted each other’s ordered in order to be able to enjoy maximum variety. They were all very tasty. Our mains were chole bhatuta, makki roti and saag, mooli kulcha. Although there was a bit of wait for the orders to arrive, it was perfectly understandable as all items were freshly prepared and came steaming hot. All came with additional items we didn’t expect e.g. potatoes curry, pickles, yogurt and even some halwa fir desert. So I had to cancel the desert order! Service was also good.Would definitely recommend the place and would go back to try out more dishes.

I have been here for my late night Panipuri cravings an it was just yummiest I had in London. Must try for panipuri lover. They have 7 different flavors in panipuri . Try that. Service is fast and price is reasonable !

Recomendado el peor platos camareros y engañar a nosotros sobre limonada en vez de darnos este horrible bebida de limón con sal negra, que no nos daría una alternativa y nos cobraron por la bebida. La samosa cilantro era dura y parecía que estaba a la izquierda de allí. El dosa sabía horrible. Este restaurante fue desordenado y el personal eran insuficientes.

Service crap, got half order the order wrong. Didn't even deliver my chat. I hope they are not going to charge us for this. Not coming here again. Always liked Ritas samosas. Disappointed

Great place for light snack and desi tea Wowwwww Been here few times tried their Rita special chat that was amazing Wowww

As we ordered the food they gave us the wrong dish on dirty plates and claimed we had to pay for it. Lol disgusting food and management.

No puedo describir la alegría de comer he experimentado en Ritas hoy!

Un estilo agradable cafetería tienda de comida rápida que venden comida india para llevar o para comer en. Conocido por este y samosas pakora es un diamante en una concurrida calle comercial llena de tiendas similares. Comprar una bolsa de aperitivos indios y ellos munch...

Vine aquí con un amigo que necesitaba un par de cosas. Cuando nos bajamos del tren lo primero que decidimos hacer fue comer, así que nos dirigimos aquí. llegamos aquí antes, así que pensamos que era una buena idea volver de nuevo, fue un gran error!

Our daughter always wants Pani Puri when we visit Southall. So here we are back at Rita's.Luckily they were just setting up a table aa we entered. Didn't have to waitr long to give our order. Had 2 Pani Puri , paneer pakora and a Papadi chaat. Came all together which was perfect.Tucked in and finished all the dishes pretty quick.Never disappoint. Food is very reasonably priced and tasty. Excellent service.

I went to Rita's with friends for the first time. We asked if the meat was halal as a couple of us do not agree with the procedure used for halal meat. The waiter initially said it was halal and when we said we don't eat it, management said it wasn't. Ordinarily I would have left at this point but did not want to disrupt the evening for my other friends. I ate the vegetarian food which was very well made. However I will NEVER eat at this establishment again. They are clearly telling halal meat eaters it is halal and non-halal meat eaters the opposite. This is unethical and unacceptable! People need to be treated with dignity and respect. These people are selling out for money!

As I've mentioned many times before, I judge the cleanliness of an establishment by the state of it's toilets & to be honest, these were abysmal. I went downstairs to find the only urinal out of order covered with a black bin bag. The toilet didn't even have the button on top to flush!Hence to say that I wasn't too interested in eating the food that I ordered.The service was pretty rubbish too.It's sad to say, but the cleanliness & toilet situation is a common theme in Southall (apart from Giftos) & unless this is sorted out, Southall will never realise it's true potential.

My fav for pani pooris and chat.Ok! There is nothing fancy about ambience, service or location... But taste is fantastic. Been there few times now and there is nothing comparing this place when it comes to Indian street food. Beware if you are not good with spices as this is something you will expect in Mumbai not around London. Try assorted pani pooris.

A good clean restaurant, canteen style ,simple with no frills restaurant serving some excellent vegetarian food,the staff were very accommodating Fantastic service.

It was Easter Sunday & after spending over 2 hours going in & out of shops, felt that it was time for lunch.Looked at other restaurants which were all busy but, decided on Rita's as the menu looked good.As we were going out for a meal in the evening, decided to eat lightish. For starters we had the paneer pakoras. behl Puri & Seekh Kababs. My wife had a faluda which she really enjoyed. For the main course, we had 2 plates of papadi chaat.We all agreed that the food was excellent. Full of flavours & so tasty. Service was excellent. You could always get the attention of a waiter even though the restaurant was full.Next time we are in Southall, we will definitely visit Rita's.

Never been to Southall, but I enjoyed the day. Was looking for a place to eat, so we asked, and they told us to go to Rita's. Their samosa and chaat, are lovely. The homemade lassi was too. The chickpeas were delicious. We ordered many little snacks, and enjoyed most of them. I loved the pakoras, but they were a little to heavy. On the hole, I enjoyed everything. Southall is a lovely place to spend the day, with lots of colour, and stalls. I recommend Rita's, and its worth a trip.

I've been going here for years. Their samosa/aloo tikki chaat always goes down a dream with a homemade lassi. Service can be a bit gruff sometimes would be my only slight complaint, but they do get v busy. You can't do much better in Southall though for authentic Indian grub, conveniently right in the middle of the Broadway.

We have tried quite a few Indian restaurants in Southall. We rate Rita's for the samosas, chaat (street snacks) and aloo tikki. They also serve good Chole Puri (chickpeas).Agree with previous reviewer - service is indifferent when dining in.

I've been going to Rita's for at least 20 years. I see it as a solid dependable favourite. The food is nothing fancy, just simple chaats, curries and fried snacks. The samosas are quite good though the onion bhajis and pakoras are too heavy. My favourite thing on the eat in menu is the keema mutter (mince with peas) with a portion of boiled rice. It is very tasty with a ginger zing, but you may find, like I have a few times, that it arrives with no peas in and you have to bring it to their attention. Staff are reasonably but not overly customer focused. I have seen the place go through a tacky and pretentious refurb a few years ago but am pleased to report that it is back to its usual, Southally, slightly retro best. Worth a trip.

One of the Oldest and Established restuarants in old Southall... Rita's is one of my favourites for snack foods. It was originally estabished by immigrants from Kenya carryong on the same name as their snack centre in Nairobi...Known for its samosas and then its Allu Tikki and Charts... it remains a favourite for snack foods of all kinds! Also serving full meals, Rita's was amog the first to offer Fluda (a refreshing drink).. It serves a range of traditional frest drinks as well (including Passion)...It has been refurbished and you can seen most of the food being prepared in view... clean and very reasonably priced... Rita's is also popular for other "fast food" snacks. . .

I have been coming here for over 15 years now. I remember eating here the very first time sitting at a long table with several other people and the place bustling and lively, with the smell of good food and waiters hurriedly bringing dishes from the kitchen. I stood out like a sore thumb the only tall blond woman there but it didn't matter everyone was busy eating the delicious food and it has a friendly feel about the place. It was a Sunday lunchtime and families and friends were enjoying food. It was my first meal in Southall and I have to say I really enjoyed it then and each time I visit Southall always end up here for my first meal, as an English woman I have introduced Indian friends to the place. Nowadays, when I visit Southall, the restaurant has been modernised over the years and the waiting staff change from time to time, but the quality of food always remains the same. Also, you see more tourists and other nationalities visiting the restaurant. Service is very polite and the owner will always say "hello" to you or have a chat with regulars and you do get the impression he takes good food and his business seriously which is nice to see. The restaurant is clean with polished mirrors, a wonderful selection of Indian sweets (mithai) and snacks at the front of the shop (love the gulab jamuns, gajar ke halwa and laddus). There is a t.v. with Bollywood films playing while you eat to put you in the mood, there is a busy turnover, people coming and going, but it is not rowdy and you can always get a table which is clean and service is prompt. Excellent value too.Being vegetarian we usually opt for chana batura, or samosas chaat or a vegetarian dish with lovely rotis/parathas, followed by lassis and also a dessert from the sweet centre.I am absolutely full up but the time I leave here and have to walk it off with a bit of shopping and always regretting that I've eaten too much.You find couples in the evening enjoying a bite, mums and grandmothers and children during the day, businessmen and groups as well as tourists enjoy a snack or a main meal. If I lived locally I'd eat here once a week. I have been at the weekend, during the week early afternoon and lunch service and during the evening and each time the service and food has been the same.
