Eater

The all-vegetarian Keralan cuisine is a local favourite, and the restaurant is almost alway heaving. Paratha here is a king of breads , while the Cheera Curry , with house made paneer , is unmissable. Read more

This place is my heart. So cheap and delicious. Peanut butter and banana starter. Get all the house title dishes and a masala dosa . So good.

Lorenzo Viola

Great southern indian cousine, which is not easy to find ... Small prices, but also small/normal portions. For me it was way too spicy , but if you like it is worth givin it a chance ;)

Carolina Gavassoni

The food is great and the staff are friendly . Most definitely recommend the dosas and the little side dishes. The closest you get to south India without leaving London. Vegetarian 's paradise!

Armelle De Oliveira

Nice restaurant to try out new food, small prices make it easy to try lots of food mostly vegetarian , vegan and gluten free . It’s a bit loud and tables are really close from one another:

James Gooch

Really impressed by how much flavour is packed in to each dish. The feast menu gives you a selection of lots of things recommended by the chef and is perfect for a group.

Alper Çuğun

We had every kind of dosa and it was fantastic. I become so giddy about the great Indian food that we ordered way too much but it was all rather delicious.

Irfan Qureshi

vegetarian restaurant really! The Nadan Paripu is amazing with lemon rice . Finish your meal with Kesari.

Omer Cavusoglu

Tried the plantain , Bagar Baingan for the main curry with Paratha bread with Mango Lassi . All delicious food at incredibly affordable prices . Well reccommended.

The aubergine with coconut curry is amazing and also the beet cheera ! This is the best Indian food I've ever eaten in a restaurant , and I've been all over India!

Cath Richardson

Friends were staying in Kerala and mentioned to their host they'd chosen Kerala because of an amazing restaurant in London. "Is it Rasa?" she said. Apparently she's had 100s of guests say the same.

Graham E

Lovely food. Regional cuisine so not your standard set of curries . Had a lovely lamb dish and make sure you try the breads . Lovely parotta.

Frau Gryl

The best indian food out there - authentic and delicious. Paradise for vegetarians . Just avoid the masala tea , it didn't exactly blow my mind.

Katie Colhoun

My favourite Kerala curry house. The Bagara Baingan is delightful, especially with Paratha . Love the Beet Cheera and pre-meal snacks too!

Ronald Cattrysse

At first glance a bit over the top interior but the whole thing does come together. The food is fresh and full of taste, even for a meat lover!

Ben Robra

One of the best Indian dinner experiences in London. Just amazing food. You won't even miss meat. ;)

Alana Farrell

First timers, don't eat for the day then order the feast . It gives you a selection of dishes. Huge, but well worth the £16 per head.

Lars R

Really nice food, for a decent price. Keep in mind it's 100% vegetarian . The non-vegetarian branch is across the street.

Kirsty Green

We ordered the feast where they choose what to serve you, and although it was hit and miss we tried things we wouldn't have otherwise and loved some!

Craig Marshall-Nicholls

Fishy soupy starter is amazing. And everything here is both simple and excellent. Love it all.

Utkan Cagri Kocak

Everything is with banana and mango . Too sweet for my taste. And vegetarian only, I love lamb chops .

Kris Kelvin

Like nothing I've ever tasted before. Fascinating; delicious.

hello_emily

Always wanted to come here but I was a bit disappointed. Maybe an off night but we had slow service, soggy poppadoms, roasting hot beer glasses and average food.

Joanna Tillman

So much food and very cheap but I was disappointed by the flavors.
