The food was awful, decor was terrible, service was pathetic.I highly NOT to go this resturant. They are spolining India's name . NO NO NO to FOOD i Ravi Shankar.....

Worst resturant..........
It is a bangladeshi resturant not indian.
Secondly staff is extremely rude.
Food is no where close to authentic indian cusine.
I am a vegetarian and I have never had such a bad vegetarian food ever in my life.I will never go there ever.
Chutney resturant on same street is better.

I am amazed at these bad reviews - are we talking about the same place? I had lunch at Ravi Shankar yesterday and it was fabulous! My husband was extremely impressed and he is not even a vegetarian. My Mutter Paneer was perfectly spiced and I liked the creamy rice pud that comes with the thali. The service was very quick, though not smiley.


We chose Ravi Shankar over another in the street that was simply doing a buffet. Is there another place of this name in Drummond Street that is causing the confusion? The music was too loud when we arrived but they turned it down immediately when I politely asked them to. The main big drawback was the noisy families there. We were subjected to a loud American woman holding court on the other side of the room. She was vile.

After my experience at Ravi Shankar last night, which I would easily describe as the worst in my life, I am not really surprised to find the only other review here complaining about the rude behaviour of the staff. As we found out, to our horror, ordering starters five minutes before ordering the main course is totally unacceptable to these people (even when you have two small kids with you) and never make the mistake of complaining about the attitude of one of their staff members because you will only get another one with a worse attitude coming to your table.



Ravi Shankar should be on top of the list of most avoidable places, alongside a weekend break in Baghdad!

The food was OK at Ravi Shankar but the service was appalling! They automatically charged service charge, then became aggressive when I requested not to pay optional service charge. There were other customers also who were too afraid to stay when the staff started shouting. Ridiculous Ravi Shankar!

Went to Ravi Shanker for dinner last week and quite enjoyed it. The service was very fast and attentive and the food delicious!

Ravi Shanker's not the most upmarket building and the decor needs a little work, but we had a nice evening nonetheless.
