Ragam

Went last night, Saturday at around 9.30. the restaurant is certainly small and dated, but the food was excellent. we had Dosai starters & a prawn curry with lemon rice,& a chicken with spinach curry & pourrie. with 2 large Cobras the bill was £34, great value & great food with reasonable service.

This place is one of my personal favourites, have been here about 8 times in total. The decor is dated and it is very small but the staff are lovely and the food is outstanding and excellent value for money. Not a great place for a romantic supper but good for a dinner with friends. The dosai is a must try as is the chikcen with lentils and chick pea curry.

We have had some lovely lunch food from these guys, however today they truly claimed they were changing menus and so we were unable to compare the bill to the menu....for example £3.50 for a dhosa with nothing in it!

This place is a personal favourite of mine in London. Delicious food, was delighted with their dosa. It made me stop hearing what my friend was saying. Very laid back atmosphere. The place is small, but that's what makes it friendly. The people there have a lovely smile.

My partner and I went there on a Thursday evening. The reviews were right about the minimal decor, but not as accurate about the food. We were slightly disappointed with the food - the curries weren't very tasty (other restaurants to it more subtly) and the food was nothing extraordinary. All in all still quite pricey for what one gets. A good place though if you are unfussy about decor and a plus for the restaurant is the staff.

excellent food! One of my recent favourites for the variety and the quality. The service was very good and helpful in advising on what to order.

Good value for money.

Went to Ragam with an Indian work colleague from Southern India and it did not disappoint. Simple and uncomplicated food, order a few dishes of what you dont know to get a good feel of the variety on offer. Also read the Guardian review and was looking forward to the poor decor and the disco lights in the window. The decor did not disappoint but sadly the lights are no more! They score very high on the VFM scale

After I read all the comments to this restaurant, I went there and it was great. Thank you all for the comments. A great choice, excellent food and an amazing price. They could work a little bit on the service but the service was still okay. It was realy worth to go there, and it was for sure not the last time. Starter, side dish, main course & 1 beer : 15 £

Booked this place a few months ago for a post-show meal. We were a bit dressed up and it looked like a cheap student dive. After second thoughts, we went in. Wow! Simply amazing food. We ordered about half the menu and the bill was £78 for 4. Huge selection for vegetarians. Service a little slow but, hey, who cares. A little treasure.

Went there on the back of a good review in the Guardian and was not disappointed. Although the place was small, the staff were attentive and the food was second-to-none.

The dosai was cooked perfectly and not too stodgy and the curries were not too oily or salty, as is often the case and I would definitely recommend the green chilli paratha as something a bit different.

All in all, an excellent find and will definitely be coming back again.
