The Ravensbury in Merton

Excellent food i went for my birthday .

A friend took me here for the first time. The food is excellent. And so is the service. I recommend it.

Very good ambiance and service and lovely food

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Nilaypatel and your team at Ravensbury. The party from the start till the end everything was perfect, all the guests enjoyed. Everyone who came had nothing but only compliments to say about Ravensbury. The entire venue, well organised, the ambiance and especially the service you and your team provided was exceptional and the food was simply mind blowing, everybody loved the food. We could have not chosen a better place than Ravensbury Thank you so much for making our little ones event so special and memorable one. Thank you, Thank you so much 😊

Beautiful atmosphere and lovely staff with yummy food

We had a really good experience as Ayush Nimesh had treated us well and made sure we had a lovely experience!!

Attended over the weekend for a 50th Birthday Party. I had seen the venue before but had never attended. The venue was amazing, the staff excellent, friendly and very helpful. The resident DJ was on point and the sound system had enough bass and treble. There was also an outdoor area which was quite large which had seating and tables. If I were marking out of 10, I would give it nine and a half. Definitely intend to go back

Always a great time. Highly recommended this pub, the service and menu are stunning. 5/5 for the fact that the popadoms have a roasted option.

Amazing food with fantastic service by Mr. Nilay Patel

Enjoyed a wonderful evening at this venue. The main eating area is nicely decorated and is a large space. It's approximately 30 feet in length and 20 feet in width. My party booked a private area that had access to an outside area (will be a great spot in the summer), the bar is also situated in this area and it has great facilities: the set up consists of a big screen, various light settings and DJ facilities. Our setup was for a two course self-serve eat as much as you like buffet: starter and main course. The starter consisted of a choice of three options: spring rolls, king prawns, and Lamb seek kebab. The main course included Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Korma, bombay alloo, vegetable rice, and nan bread. This course cost £35. Overall, the food was enjoyable, the King Prawns coated in batter are some of the best I have had, the spring rolls were tasty, and the meet options were seasoned well.

-Best Asian restaurant in South London. Excellent food lovely atmosphere Update 2024: menu has reduced drastically since covid. Selection is not what it used to be, but the food on offer is still tasty and the place is still a nice vibe.

Great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere!

Very nice Indian food.Lovly staff specialy Auysh

We attended to celebrate my sisters birthday. It was a total disaster, the took almost 2 hours to complete our meals . We had to send back some of our food as it was uncooked. The cocktail tasted nothing like the ingredients listed about it on the drinks Menu. Definitely need a new bar man to make proper drinks, staff seems to be overwhelmed with number of customers and not enough of them. Definitely won't be going back. I would not recommend this restaurant for anyone 😕. We spent so much money for 38 of us that night and it wasn't worth a penny!!

Attended a Diwali🎉 event at Ravensbury was great event well organised. The GM Nilay served us with a great Hospitality thank you to Nilay & his team 👍

Not like how it used to be, food we ordered was very salty and tasted like it was just slapped with a mixture of sauces. For the price paid, we didn't enjoy the food.

The food is over priced and wasn’t even nice. It lacked flavour and was really spicy. They served my child gone off apple juice then had the cheek to charge me for it. The take away containers smelt really bad like they’d been sitting there for months And the waiters themselves didn’t smell particularly good. Definitely won’t be going back, waste of money

Good food and good ambience! All the servers were very friendly, especially Nimesh! Lamb vindaloo was really good and spicy! Chicken chowmein was also really tasty!

We hired this beautiful venue for my husband's 60th birthday party earlier this month, and everything about it was absolutely brilliant. The manager, Nilag, was the best manager I have come across in recent years. He clearly understands customer service and provides a professional, helpful, friendly, efficient, caring service. He was great from the viewing of the premises to the end of the party itself. In fact all of the staff were brilliant including the security. 10/10 for all their effort. The venue is a restaurant/ bar modern sleek setting that is clean and inviting. The bar is well stocked, and they even made sure our favourite drink was available. Although we didn't have food for our occasion, there is catering available. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Situated on the main road, so was to find, with limited parking also available. Very competitive hire rates, too! I would highly recommend hiring The Ravensbury to anyone who is looking for a good place to have a great time. Thanks to all the staff at the Ravensbury for making my husband's birthday such a success. We really appreciate it.

Good food and excellent service and lovely atmosphere

Preordered food 7 days in advance of event. Arrived at venue at 7pm and got served 1hr later with drinks and food arrived at 9pm 2hrs later! My poor 85 year old father nearly fell asleep. 3 orders of Salt and pepper wings were uncooked and bloody and thai green curry order as mild came as spicy. Please can Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares come and sort this establishment out. Was so tired of all the mistakes with the food and orders it put me off eating. Night spoilt. The worse things is this place could be really great. Too many items on the menu makes it hard to keep up. Family member coming back to you on Sunday to get the bill.

Beautiful, spacious, venue,with lovely service

Certainly a very surprisingly good Indian restaurant.

Fantastic service and great food! Will definitely dine there again.

All of the food was great from starter to dessert. We were assisted by Nilay who made the experience even better. Recommend to any vegetarian as there is a large selection.

Birthday dinner was great. All the guests were happy with food and drinks. Also the customer service was amazing.

Excellent welcome and attention throughout. Food was fantastic. Full of natural ingredients and flavours.

Went for dinner. Delicious food. Good atmosphere and great service especially from our waiter Amit. I clumsily spilled water and food on the table and offered to clean it up but all he wanted was for us to enjoy our food while he cleaned up my mess !

This is our first time at the Ravensbury. We were served by Nilay who was friendly, welcoming and could not have been more helpful. He made some good recommendations of dishes and we tried new things. All food was beautifully cooked. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Service, excellent. Greeted at the door by friendly staff, made very welcome and comfortable. Food very good and reasonably priced. Atmosphere very good with soft music and calm lighting. Staff couldnt have been friendlier. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday, service was great and food was amazing. Staff were very friendly, will be coming back.

Always amazing service, went above and beyond made my mums birthday absolutely phenomenal…Andre’s customer service is outstanding cant wait to come back a huge thank you to the manager x

fantastic food, great service can’t wait to come back

Lovely place and polite accommodating security staff!

Amazing food, beautiful cocktails, and mocktails. The most delicious biryani I have ever tasted. Great service from staff members. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. I will be making another booking very soon.

It’s my first time experiencing here with my family.It was an amazing experience and foods are really good especially I love the brownie .Thank you Ayush for giving us even when your kitchen is almost close

Ayush service is very good and the food also very nice and the desert also very good

It compares very well to top restaurants in central London Will come back

The food is good, the staff is friendly and the place very pleasant.

Excellent in all things. The food was hot and very tasty The staff were courteous and very helpful.

Excellent food and best service 😁

A super spot for all Indian & Pan-Asian delicacies with a separate bar and restaurant. There is a warming atmosphere to the place with vibrant lighting. The food itself was very tasty, especially the Indian side, with large portion sizes. The general manager was kind enough to give us his recommendations and left us very happy having tried new Indian cuisinse - especially recommending the Indian take on carrot cake with ice cream.

Love the hospitality Amazing venue and spectacular food We had our wedding reception there.The teamwork of the staff is remarkable especially Nilay (Manager of Ravensbury) set the venue surprisingly beautiful. Made our moments unforgettable. Party Manu is great. Definitely good value of money.Beyond our expectations Very happy with the service.

Excellent service, food and venue. The management is very friendly and made our experience a memorable one. Thank Ravensbury team. Keep up the good work 👏

Great service from Andrei! Loved the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Great dining experience, team was amazing and the food even better

Food was amazing. Customer service from Ayush was great.

The service is excellent and the food is very good. We recommend the indian starters and the butter chicken, they're delicious.

Great atmosphere, food & service, especially from Nimesh. Also Nilay who spilt a drink on one of my guests which was a laugh. Good job.

This restaurant is a gem. Amazing food, drinks and amazing service. Would come again and would recommend for date night as well as a family dinner. Special thanks to Nilly who made sure we had a great dining experience.

Great evening. Staff very attentive and helpful. Fantastic food always. Special thanks to Nilay, Nimesh and Sunil for their great hospitality.

Fantastic food, service and hospitality. The pani puri, raita and mixed grill were exceptional. We had our 1 year old with us and they went out of their way to accomodate for him (eg cleaning his bottles etc unprompted). Finally, they overheard that it was my birthday and gave us complimentary cake. Cannot recommend enough!

We had my son’s surprise 18th birthday party in the bar lounge. It was a great event, Nilay and his team were wonderful, professional and friendly. Security was friendly and the outside space is great. Nilay looked after us so well and took the stress out of organising an event, so I was able to just host and enjoy! All my guests commented on how the buffet food was really good! Would highly recommend for a private hire.

Best Indian food!!! Thanks for the service Nimesh🥰

Fancy something nice? This is the place for you! We had a wonderful time with family- delicious food, outstanding service by Nilay, Andrei and Ahmed and overall wonderful experience. Thank you for making our visit extra special. They cater for vegans too- great options!

Lovely atmosphere and decor, food was delicious, waiter went out of his way to cater for our dietary requirements. Andrei, Nalay and manager were excellent. Only improvement I would recommend are the chairs as they weren’t very comfortable

Went in on a Friday night, very welcoming. The food was exceptional and even more so was the service. Couldn’t ask for any more.

Brilliant professional customer service from Nimesh

Nice decor and enough parking. There is a lot of outside space and it is great during nice weather. Food was mediocre

Had a lovely family meal Will be back

Need more staff to attend to customers

My wife and I just finished our meal here, it's a lovely atmosphere, the food is lovely and the service is first class. I'll be coming again that's for sure and I would recommend this place to anyone who likes good food.

amazing food, amazing aesthetic lovely restaurant and venue. Staff are amazing and very welcoming and great chicken korma and rice and broccoli and pal choi veg.

Had a beautiful meal, will be having my birthday here x

Amazing food, place and staff a big special to Nilay excellent service!!

Nilly and Amit were lovely servers The food was very nice however the service was a bit slow and the place where we sat initially slightly dusty but we asked to move and were moved with no problem.

Nilay was amazing, he has a really good knowledge of the menu, and everything he suggested tasted really good. The food and service was 10/10!

Enjoyed the flavours of every dish! Customer service from Nilay was very good. We will be back, thank you.

Nilay was very helpful. Food wad delicious

We’ve been uncountable times now and each visit has been memorable and enjoyable. Lovely food choices, we’ve ordered the tastiest dishes so far. Lovely and attentive staff. I’ve been at different times in the evenings and I always leave happy. The restaurant is popular from what I see as tables fill up and people ordering their favourites. May good and drink options, I love the mocktails on offer and the new additions too. This is a lovely place for all occasions. I’ve chosen this place specifically for my birthday twice now amongst all our visits.

The food was delicious and the staff were very kind and friendly.

Food is very nice and fresh but service could be quicker

Awesome Indian spread. Great atmosphere and service made the visit memorable!

My wife and I went to The Ravensbury for our wedding anniversary. This place was excellent and we were blown away by the excellent service that we received from Nilay and Sunil. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you both for making our wedding anniversary so special.

Thank you to the chef that made us a lovely meal, when we arrived the kitchen had just closed, however thank you again to the chef that prepared our meal, nothing was a problem, we will be back

Niesh and Nilay gave great service and the food was good! Nice desserts too! Definitely will come again with my family!!

Food and services were amazing! Nilay was very attentive and made sure we had an enjoyable experience.

Excellent place to dine, with top quality food and staff. We were served by Amit, and extremely glad to say that he was excellent with orders and served everything in a swift manner. Upon our request, he also provided recommendations with certain dishes and we absolutely loved it. Would 100% return again.

Great night, great service for a quite large party of us. Amit, Sunil and Hasanaaq particularly were exceptional and catered for our every need! Will definitely be back

I had a great time. Vibe was nice, food tasty. The Samosa chaat was exceptional. Methi chicken was fantastic. Great veggie options. Steven took care of us and he was so sweet. I would definitely come again. Has new owners so things have improved

Very delicious Chinese food in town. Steven our waite was very attentive to all the details Great atmosphere with night club Reasonable food price

Food was sensational with agreat variety and very flavoursome. Our waiter Steven was very pleasant and courteous. Will definitely be back again.

Enjoyed the food and the ambience,.. Steve was vibrant and exuberant, he fulfilled are requests with ardour.

We had a wonderful evening we ordered different dishes and they were all outstanding. Steve's service was awesome . I'll definitely recommend it to my circle

Booked the lounge for a group of 4 of us for the 27th of July 2024. When we arrived we were told by a staff member that there’s an event happening in the lounge and so we can’t enter. We weren’t informed of this beforehand and the system allowed us to make a booking. He said that he tried to call to cancel but I received no missed call. I even received a reminder of the booking a day before via email. The staff member was rude, blunt and did not offer any solution or apology.

Had a lovely evening, Steven our server was funny, accommodating and made the evening more enjoyable. Food was delicious, decent size serving

Service was good.. Special shout out to Steven... Would recommend the prawn moilee and lamb kheema.. in starters chicken 65.

Great food & service. Prawns starters & Prawns Moilee are a must try.

Had a great experience, would highly recommend. Steven was very friendly and a great host!

A Memorable Celebration at The Ravensbury We recently celebrated my dad's 70th birthday at The Ravensbury in Mitcham, and I can confidently say it was the perfect choice for our family gathering. Exceptional Customer Service From the moment we arrived, the customer service was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Their genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel special throughout the evening. It was clear that they were committed to making our celebration memorable. Personal Touch What truly set The Ravensbury apart was the personal and direct contact we received from the team. They took the time to engage with us, making sure our needs were met and that we felt valued. This level of service is rare and greatly enhanced our experience. Delightful Ambiance and Cuisine The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and comfortable, providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Coupled with a menu featuring delicious Indian cuisine, our evening was nothing short of spectacular. Highly Recommended If you’re looking for a venue for a special occasion, I highly recommend The Ravensbury. Their exceptional service, personal touch, and delightful atmosphere make it a fantastic choice for any celebration. Thank you, Ravensbury, for making my dad’s 70th birthday unforgettable!

Lovely atmosphere clean. Beautiful garden.

Had birthday party there staff friendly but as nigh wore on drinks got more expensive

They forget the order and at last said kitchen is closed. And its gonna happen 3rd time. Also staff is very rude. Dont behave and talk nicely.

I usually order food from Ravensbury but today I made a decision with the family to eat in. The food was absolutely exceptional, freshly cooked and full of flavour, Amid was our host for the afternoon and he made sure he provided me and my family with phenomenal service as he was very attentive ensuring we had everything we needed. I will be back and I will definitely recommend Ravensbury to my friends and family.

A brilliant dining spot for special occasions! This is some of the best Indo-Chinese food I've had in London. The service is outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. Special thanks to Amit Shah, the waiters, and the bartender for taking excellent care of us. Thanks for the birthday cake ! If you are here don’t forget to try their sizzling brownie!!

Went here for Father’s Day/ Eid- was a large table of 13 with children and was accommodated well by the team and especially Nilay. Food portions were great as usual and even with limited menu for Father’s Day was still a good selection and accommodated our but allergies well. Thanks again

I hosted my civil ceremony after-party at The Ravensbury. Nilay took the responsibility of ensuring it was a perfect day for us. He kept me informed every step of the way, which helped my partner and me feel less stressed about planning. Nilay carefully considered all our requirements and made sure everything was completed before our big day. Initially, we were hesitant about choosing The Ravensbury due to concerns about how things would work out, but after seeing what Nilay and his team did for us, we are incredibly grateful we chose this venue. Nilay and his team went above and beyond to make it special for us. A big thank you to The Ravensbury team and a special thank you to my brother Nilay. Love ajenth and Thayalini

Ravensbury boasts a variety of restaurants catering to diverse tastes. You'll find cozy local pubs serving classic British fare, charming cafes for light bites and coffee, and international cuisine ranging from Indian to Italian. The dining scene is relaxed and unpretentious, perfect for casual outings with family and friends. While you might not find high-end gourmet spots, the quality and warmth of the local eateries more than make up for it. Overall, Ravensbury's restaurant offerings provide a pleasant mix of comfort food and cultural flavors, making it a delightful place to eat out.

Food is really tasty, indo-Chinese cuisine is always a hit for us so we enjoyed, and it was served in good portions. The prices were decent as well, between £8-£10 per starter dish.. The cocktails were also really tasty, standard London price of £9.50 each. However, the service we received was below average, we had to go over and ask someone to take our order despite the restaurant being mostly empty as we went on a weekday. The staff were friendly but not very attentive until it was time to leave, then someone kept coming over which felt like we were being rushed out (even though the restaurant was empty?) All in all a relatively enjoyable experience because of the food being tasty, I’d recommend ordering for takeaway.

great atmosphere .. scrumptious food and fantastic staff especially Nilay who ensured we were comfortable and enjoyed our evening .. the kids loved the experience too
