| Indian restaurant, part of a small chain, tucked away on Dering Street (a quiet little lane just off [[Locale Oxford Street|Oxford Street]]). |
<b>Note:</b> As of early 2012, the [[Rasa Samudra, W1T 1RE|Rasa Samudra branch]] of this chain, previously on Charlotte Street in [[Locale Fitzrovia|Fitzrovia]], is moving to the Dering Street branch. We aren't sure what, if anything, will change about this branch as a result. |

Unlike some of the others in the chain, the menu here includes meat and fish. It has a slightly reduced range of vegetarian options compared to [[Rasa, N16 0AR|the N16 branch]] and is slightly more expensive (as one might expect from the location), but the snacks and dosas are the same old familiar friends. |

[[Kat]] and Rick visited on a Thursday evening in June 2016. We hadn't booked and it was reasonably busy, but we were found a table straight away. Kat's adipoli erachi mulegu (lamb curry with shallots and coconut, £9.50) was deliciously rich. The nair dosa (£10) was huge and also delicious, served with side pots of sambar and coconut chutney. |
The presentation and quality of the food is excellent, right from the appacham and banana chips that arrive at the start of the meal. The service is good and the staff are friendly and helpful. [[itsbruce]] usually orders one of the fish dishes and has never been disappointed. This is high quality Indian cuisine, much lighter and healthier than the stodge found in the typical British curry house. It is a little more expensive than the standard British curry house but well worth it. |

[[Kat]]'s verdict: I've been a big fan of the whole chain for some years now, and this branch is a fine example. I'd recommend it if you're in the area. |

Accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground and first floors, and the stairs to the upper floor (where the toilets are located) are quite steep and curved. |
