Ragas in Lewisham

Lovely local restaurant, truly a hidden gem. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious, will be back!

We (six people) had our first meal at Panas last Friday. It was busy, great atmosphere. The service was discreet and polite, food was really excellent and served all together. We would recommend, and certainly return.

We have had some amazing food from this place - as in the best South Asian food - but the standards can fluctuate & there have been a few times (especially with delivery) when the food has been average. We also consider the new decor to have lost the warm atmosphere, and have occasionally had dodgy service, especially since the female owner seems not to be around any more.

Nice restaurant, food is tasty and well made. Curries are yummy. All cooked very well. Portions could be bigger but theyre okay. Price is okay. Service is super friendly and good. The food can take a little long to come out.

I came into Panas yesterday at 10:30pm, absolutely starving with a long journey home ahead of me. They were about to close, but were so very kind and understanding and offered my family a table and served us the most delicious meal, everything was so fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this place, it is wonderful. The team are all so lovely and kind, and I am so grateful they served us even though it was so late and they were closing! Thanks again. Will definitely try to go back when I am in the area!

Food was very nicely cooked and Very tasty. Portions are just right. And the for 7 people prices was very reasonable. Would gladly recommend. Do try the Biryani, exceptionally cooked and Very pleasantly presented. Customer service was absolutely great. No request was ignored. Absolutely loved the placed. Well worth a visit. Will not be disappointed

Table for four. Chatted with the owner and waiters. Attentive service. All the food was excellent. 4 homemade chutneys - all amazing. My malabar fish main was nicely presented and well spiced with pilau rice. Sides were so good and were made vegan friendly on request. Definitely will return.

I had the best lamb shank ever at this restaurant. The meat was incredibly tender and it melted in my mouth. The service was extremely good!! The staff (ie Pinu, Rafi, Natalia and also of course the manager) was extremely friendly and they made my entire meal even better. This is really the best Restaurant that I’ve been to in London- a lot better than Dishoom seriously.

Such a lovely place! Completely out of the way for me but I’m so glad to have visited.I didn’t know much about this place prior to my visit. I soon discovered they provided great community support and assistance during the height of the pandemic by supplying free meals to its local community and NHS frontline staff. They have a great community presence and reputation.As soon as you enter this small, local establishment you’ll be greeted warmly and welcomed like an old friend. Impeccable service without the fuss but lots of love instead!The food is fantastic. Amazing flavours, fresh ingredients and wonderfully presented food. The portions are incredibly generous, so much so I took more of my food home than I ate there, and I was hungry!The owner, Sujan was trained under Michelin star’s first Indian chef, Atul Kochhar. The passion and love of food is there from the moment you walk in and smell the aromas and have your first bite.If only it wasn’t so far from me!

Just visited the newly refurbished Panas restaurant and had an excellent, top quality rogan josh and a really lovely evening. The team at panas do themselves proud, great food and if you take some time to read about the work they’ve done in the community through the pandemic and the story of Sujan , the founder, it’s quite humbling. If you can go, enjoy and share.
