RaRa

RaRa's is brilliant. Essentially a blinding curry house where you can actually taste the spices and flavours of each dish this place is great.

You can eat loads but not feel heavy or bloated.

The wine list is remarkably well priced as is the food and the staff are great.

It's intimate and nicely decorated.

I receommend trying the Finca La Collina, a really great value alternative to their more expensive Gevurtz.

I have been to the restaurant once recently and have also had a take away from here. I have to say it's just outstanding and miles better than another of the multitude of Indian restaurants in the area. Not cheap but you get more than you pay for in quality and presentation.

Home delivery food was brilliant too and they even threw in a few extras.

Definitely recommended.

We, a family of five, were looking for some nice Nepali/Indian food on a rainy day in West London, we found a cosy restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and excellently served in Nepalese style. The food was delicious and suitable for kids too. The Gorkhali Lamb and Butter Chicken were unique and superb!

Good job, keep it up…

We, a family of five, were looking for some nice Nepali/Indian food on the weekend in West London, we found a cosy restaurant, RARA. We were served excellently in Nepalese style. Food was delicious and suitable for kids too. Especially, the Gurkhali Lamb and Butter Chicken were unique and taste was just superb!

I had a fantastic experience at this retaurant last night. On a dreary wet evening we dropped in on the off-chance and were lucky to find a spare table. The welcome was warm and service impeccable in this small and stylish Nepalese restaurant.

The serving of crudites to start with is a great idea and the Nepalese signature dishes are divine - their flavours were subtle and varied. Vegetable dishes were fresh and appealing and the naan bread was light and digestible. Ghurka beer as well as Indian brands make an excellent accompaniment to the menu. We didn't try the wine list.

Yes, you can find some of the usual Indian favourites too, but these are all prepared with care and originality.

Portions were just right - not too much - and not too litle.

Tables are quite close together, so bear that in mind if you want a tete-a-tete!

The bill was reasonable bearing in mind that this is not a run-of-the-mill Asian experience. It worked out at about £25.00 ech for more than enough to eat.

Aa an avid Indian foodie, I am a now a real fan of this relatively new addition to the the Kew eating scene.

A charming little restaurant with gracious service and reasonably priced to boot. Only snag is: where's the spice? The curry was pleasantly mild for those of my dining companions who were new to eating Nepalese (or was it just Indian?) cuisine. However, having eaten delicious food prepared by natives of the region in question, the lack of spice made me wonder if perhaps the waiter thought we were American, and thus the Campbells tomato soup was used as the base for my "shehazadi" curry sauce.

keep up the good work nonetheless!
