Amazing food and service and atmosphere! Would go again and again!
This restaurant was recommended by a friend as we were visiting Kew Gardens and it was a 70th birthday present for my friend. The restaurant brought a cake up to her at the end of the meal. Total surprise for my friend.
A real find. Delicious, different Indian menu. Kind and attentive waitress
Great food and excellent service! Really nice neighbourhood restaurant in Kew
Incredible food and service! Every dish had a unique flavor and they even took time to infuse our water with a lovely combination of cucumbers, carrots, mint and lemon. What a joy!
Excellent service.. 😁Staff wonderful very attentive and professional! 😊 Excellent food! 👍 Excellent value for money! 👍 (needs refurbishment downstairs) ☹️
Great food, lovely service as always. Definitely recommended for a casual dinner.
All very good as usual. Busy night for them and quite noisy.
The most amazing welcome from the staff! A beautiful table in the open air and excellent food, wine and service. One of my favorite places to dine after a visit to Kew Gardens!
Very good food, mediocre service. Still would visit again :)
Fantastic meal. Hit the spot, our new favourite. Very friendly staff too.
Great food, good beer and wine. Very kind personal 👍
Great food and friendly atmosphere with attentive service. Lovely evening!
Excellent food, that cost less than we expected. Friendly and attentive staff and a good atmosphere. Overall, an excellent night out.
The original owner of Rara sold the restaurant. And it shows. No warm friendly welcome as was the norm in the past. Food average. Not the same standard. Seemed busy with takeaway delivery drivers marching in with crash helmets on! Wouldn’t go back. ☹️
Food was really excellent. Phenomenal! Friendly service as well. A lovely local restaurant.
Excellent as always! Delicious food, great service and good value
Attentive staff and outstanding food. Wonderful family meal. Visit soon
Not as good as previous visit last year. Restaurant was very busy on a Friday evening, made worse by many takeaway and Deliveroo orders, which slowed down the service for diners. I had a poor Prawn Puri starter (minced prawns?) and the others had quite small main course portions, albeit good flavour. Pleasant, if slow, service. £30 per head for two courses and one beer seems quite pricey. But it's the only local Indian restaurant in Kew Gardens, so I expect we will be back.
Excellent food and service. Friendly staff. Only slight problem, we were in the basement area which seemed a bit chilly ! (don't know whether heating was on.)
It was Nepalling...can’t be the first to use that joke surely? Utterly brilliant food and such amusing and attentive service
Scrumptious food, and friendly service from what we presumed to be the owner
Authentic and REALLY excellent food. Offering the complimentary spicy soup as a warm-up on arrival was a lovely gesture. Good presentation and great service. Book ahead to ensure a table.
Great restaurant, great service , great food . Good prices and beautiful traditional Nepalese cuisine . Thoroughly enjoyed it . Great local restaurant . Book in advance
We chose Rara for its proximity to the Kew botanical gardens. What a great find! Everyone was welcoming and very helpful in giving us menu suggestions. The food was flavorful and tasted freshly made
Really good food and very pleasant and helpful staff. Went here for dinner after doing Christmas at Kew and Had a great evening With some friends.
Warm and welcoming hospitality! We arrived a few minutes before our 6 o' clock reservation and were seated immediately. It was an especially busy Friday night with the Christmas at Kew going on. Our service was prompt and polite and the food excellent, as always. Highly recommend Rara if you are in the neighborhood!
SIamo tornati da Rara, un ristorante nepalese a Kew Gardens. Cibo autentico, veramente buono di alta qualità. Personale gentilissimo prezzi veramente onesti. Vale il viaggio.
Great food and service as always.. very local to us so we have been a number of times and have never been disappointed. Besti naan there is! Restaurant is only small so would recommend booking.
Good food & service. A visit is recommended. One of the best Nepalese / Indian restaurants in the area. Beer good too! Worth a detour!
I have previously visited this restaurant and experienced some of the best service and food I could wish for, however, on this occasion it was a dreadful experience and so was the food. I doubt I shall ever return again. I can no longer recommend this restaurant.
Always very friendly staff and very attentive and good with recommendations. Fantastic food and reasonable price wise and always busy which proves it is fab.
My friend from Hong Kong had never had Indian food this good. Great service and atmosphere. If you aren’t sure what to order the staff recommendations will be spot on. Best in the area.
The food was delicious and the service impeccable! perfect, after a long walk in Kew Gardens and to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. Thank you.
