The Ravensbury in Merton

10/10. Couldn’t asked for any more from them. Food was very good, service was great also. Mocktail was brilliant. Would definitely recommend 👍

Ayush and Ashi Amazing service. Really appreciate it. Thank you x

Food was amazing, service was top class and over everything the owner of place great 😊 we were just passing by looking for some food and we’re thinking about the reviews I guess any reviews below 4.5 is fake They are good Thank you

The food is 10 out of 10 delicious, customers service was great and atmosphere is great

The food was incredibly tasty, and the customer service was fantastic from the moment I arrived. I didn't have to wait long for my meals. The prices were fair, and everything was very clean. I highly recommend it and would definitely return.

Lovely food, great service from ashi. Lovely lady. All staff were very polite and the food was 10/10. Definitely recommend 😊

Used to love this place but after the take over the new staff seem rude and my family thought the taste has gone down a little. If you take over a business you are supposed to keep the quality the same or even better.

Service to start was a bit slow but once they got to us everything else was excellent

Paid £14.95 for sweet and sour prawns which consisted of 5 prawns....

The service and food we received was amazing. Thank you to Nilay and his team for making the celebrations special and catering to some dietary requirements.

Excellent value for money very good food polite staff

Overall we had a lovely dining experience for my parents anniversary. The starters were tasty, full of flavour and a variety of choice. If you like your food spicy, make sure to ask and they can cater to your taste. Staff were friendly. GM was attentive and answered any questions we had. We will visit again.

Amazing food. First time I've visited and was very impressed by the freshness and flavours in the food. The staff were very friendly and the general manager made sure the whole experience was amazing for us. Deffinately will be coming back as we all thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience

Lovely meal, excellent food & great service from Asha. Will definitely be back

What a pleasant gem! The service was more than expected with staff giving us the time and space to look at the menu but also being attentive enough to get their attention without delay. We have attended on a Friday night after booking and it was a nice steady flow of customers. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. Thank you and we shall be back again!

Was sat in a drafty doorway. Allso thay forgot a order

Wonderful food. Great service. Lovely sitting area. Slightly overpriced.

Food was excellent apart from chicken tikka. Chicken was not as expected it was hard and not edible very disappointed but the management tried to rectify the problem

We recently hosted our wedding reception at The Ravensbury, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! From the very beginning, Nilay, the general manager, made everything incredibly easy. His professionalism and attention to detail ensured a smooth and stress-free planning process. The decor was absolutely stunning—elegant and beautifully arranged, creating the perfect ambiance for our special day. The food was fantastic, with every dish full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! What truly made the event exceptional was the service. The entire staff was amazing—attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everything ran seamlessly. We highly recommend The Ravensbury to anyone looking for a wedding venue that offers great food, top-notch service, and a beautifully decorated space. Thank you to Nilay and the team for making our day so special!

Very good service from Ashi. Nice smile.

Poor food quality tonight, food arrived cold, served BURNT rice, the sweet and sour chicken tasted awful, service shabby & poor, long waiting time for food, waitress clumsy and spilt drink into the food, food - not unimpressed. It was so bad, that we did not even take home doggy bags!!! Said a while back, do not be fooled by the large portion sizes, quality over quantity defo!!! Miserable staff and equally rude management- won't be long before more cracks in this particular restaurant start to show as they have gotten a bit too big for their boots I think. Disappointed badly - won't be returning

Worst customer service I ever experienced. I had an allergy and have made an allergy request. They completed ignore my order and had to leave the restaurant as was not feeling well. The restaurant also smell really bad and all staff was not dressed adequately. Will never recommend this restaurant

Unhigienic place . Food was very dissapointing and customer service was very bad

Extremely unprofessional and 0 customer service skills . Was charge twice and ask for a refund in a civil way and they have used excuses to don’t refund the money. Currently reporting to trading services and getting legal advice. Worst experience in retail I ever had. I was very curious to try their food and see their place as it looked so good from the outside but clearly is all just for the name. Will never recommend this place to anyone!

Very nice staff and solid food.

Great service, good to know that it is upholding the same standards as always

Lovely atmosphere, good service and great food. Staff were very friendly too. My family really enjoyed

This restaurant has changed , we have come here a few times and the food and service have been hit and miss, came with my son today and the food and service totally on point . Super tasty food and excellent service , . There was a new member of staff who was super attentive and polite .

Food was nice and would go back again soon and was even given a rose as it was valentines day.thanks so much

The food was delicious, as recommended by Nilay who took the time to learn what we liked. Excellent service😋

Great food and service, nice touch bringing a slice of birthday cheesecake with a candle in after noticing the badge. Would recommend the Ravensbury and will definitely go there again.

Food was lovely and I’m really fussy with my curry. Lamb was fall-apart. Sauces were jot one size fit all. Rich, flavoursome and delicious. Nothing too greasy. Breads freshly made and cocktails to delight. And… all at a reasonable price.

Attended a paid event 8/2/25, very busy well attended, frisked on door, service wasn’t great, bar staff were trying to pour double spirits as the default. As it was drinks were very expensive, a round seemed to be rounded up to nearest £2.75.

I've been here a couple of times. It has new management but the service and food is still great. The staff are nice and the toilets and place are clean. Smells nice. Foo has always been and continues to be at the highest standard but it is expensive. They have definitely raised the price and removed the Korean dishes.

Lovely food and service. please add masala chai to menu

Good food, good ambience and friendly staff.

Good vegetarian options and great service

Delicious, great range of dishes, family friendly, great service.

We hired the venue for my baby naming ceremony and to be honest we are so happy with everything starting from Mr. Nilay who helped us with all the planning food recommendations as well the food was excellent we had Chicken Tikka Masala Naan Veg Kadai Chicken/ Veg Biryani. The staff was amazing who Sunil, Ayuesh and Ashi they were catering to all our needs as well our guest were super delighted and happy. And the place is simply beautiful with the Music and Lovely Ambience. Thank you for the lovely hospitality we all loved it.

Very nice resturant and lovely food.

Ashe had absolutely amazing service ! She was great. Food was very good especially naan bread.

Security pleasant and a laugh, nice surroundings, food was lovely good size portions even the starters. A wide selection to choose from. Bar area is adequate for a small group. Good dj on the weekend playing soul hip hop... caution do not eat at the entrance of the bar. That's where the kitchen door is and the smell of food lingers on everyone that sits there as there's no a/c or a vent.

Amazing food and amazing service delivery

I came for my birthday and the food was well prepared, delicious and reasonably priced . I ordered the Chicken chaap with Pilau rice . The servers were very pleasant and checked our table consistently to make sure we were ok. It’s my second visit to the restaurant and I know I will return.

Exquisite food. Delicious flavours

Great and tasty food and place! Very spacious Nice staff I had a great family reunion arranged, and we were looked after very well. Good located with parking.

Brilliant service. Lovely atmosphere. Went for our 6 years olds birthday and he really enjoyed all the food.

The manager Nilay is friendly, approachable and comes across extremely professional. We had a wedding event and made it quite successful and arranged everything effectively. He had suggestions regarding decor, cakes, balloon, food and even pictures as well as the DJ. His team along with Sunil and Amit were helpful and made the whole evening a wonderful and memorable one.

Well maintained with excellent service and good food. Kid friendly as well

Ashi was amazing very friendly and sweet

Ashi. A very lovely and attentive waitress. Have been served before by her.

Lovely meals. Brilliant service. thanks

Ashi provided us with an outstanding service and the food is always delicious

Great atmosphere and great food, great service, thank you from our family to Ashi.

Came for a drink and a poppadom with the kids. Stayed for more than we planned. Very relaxed and friendly service and they were really kind to the kids

The Ravensbury in Mitcham is a fantastic choice for a birthday celebration, especially for those who appreciate delicious vegetarian food in a charming setting. The restaurant offers a variety of vegetarian dishes that are both flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. The decor of The Ravensbury is another highlight—elegantly designed with a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's perfect for creating a celebratory mood, blending comfort with style. Lovely area for pictures. The service is friendly and attentive, contributing to a memorable dining experience. All in all, The Ravensbury combines great food, From the initial conversations with Nilay to the amazing on the day service provided by Ashi, Sunil and Ayush, all of our needs were met and expectations exceeded. Thank you.

Ashi was a great waitress, very professional and attentive. The food was lovely and very filling. We’ll be back!

Great staff so friendly and helpful. Food portions are good too.

Food is like a WOW, you can enjoy with your family & friends.

Beautiful food and lovely stuff, definitely come back

Great food and great service! 10/10 would go again!

nice food, very quick & friendly service

The food was excellent! The service was wonderful. The ambiance was perfect. ... Thanks to Nilay & his team for their hard workand dedication to make this birthday event a great success.

Had a lovely evening here. Food was really good and the service was exceptional!

Incredible food, flavoursome and lovely venue, lavish!. One of the best curries I have had in a while and the grill meats are really good. Very tasty!

The manager for today (21/11/24) was absolutely exceptional, he was friendly and very accommodating to our needs. I 100% recommend this place to anyone who wants a good food/bar experience

Please watch out for the 'discretionary gratuity' that is sneakily added to your bill. Also, do specify the size of your drinks as you will get the biggest by default. Unfortunately, the overall service didn't quite match the high food prices of this place.

Thank you to nell and aashi absolutely amazing customer service so happy with the staff and there polite behavior helped me through out as we were 20 people it took us one whole hour but Aashi patiently delay with all of us and neil the general manager he was very helpful and welcoming This is my 3rd time for our Christmas dinner parties always glad to chose ravensbury for our dinner .

Had our work Christmas dinner there and it was our first time. The place, atmosphere, service and food are top notch 👌👌👌 i booked weeks ago and spoke with Nilay who was very helpful to secure the booking and made sure our experience on that evening was fantastic. We had a great time. Highly recommended.

Great food, service and our meal with family and friends.

We had a great afternoon at Ravensbury today. Good food, great service by friendly staff and wonderful ambiance to spend time with family or friends.

Very lovely food with excellent service

I ordered Manchurian dry and chilli Panner one of the best in the area staff are so friendly they actually help you to make right choice make sure you visit this place I called his my local spot in the area

While I am sure food is great given the good rating, Manager needs to be more customer service oriented. Basic I would expect from any good and established restaurant. Seems staff is least interested in understanding what you need and be cutting in between looks like normal. We want to run a small gathering of 20 pax and all Manager was interested in upselling private space of 50+. Having customer oriented staff is equally important as having good food and ambience.

Great venue for family party. Good food Good service was provided by Nilay and the team Located between mitcham and croydon

Ashi was brilliant from start to finish, I had a fantastic time and staff like Ashi are exactly why I keep returning to the Ravensbury. I’d recommend this place for the best Indian food in south London

Ayush was a great host. We had a lovely meal

Welcoming on arrival - the food could be presented much better with garnish so it looks more appetising and not just “plonked” on the bare tables. I would have also expected a vegetable curry with the biryanis given prices charged.

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.

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 😊

Very good ambiance and service and lovely food

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.

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.

Amazing food with fantastic service by Mr. Nilay Patel

Great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere!

Very nice Indian food.Lovly staff specialy Auysh

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 👍

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!!

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
