Raka in Merton

Excellent food and service. Well worth a visit.

Really disappointing. The food was so tasteless and the korma sauce was gel like goop that I cannot even describe the taste of. Could not even eat mine, it went in the bin.

yum, fresh, great flavours!!! highly recommended!!!Edit - went again today (6th Jan 2022) - Genuinely, the freshest, tastiest Indian restaurant!! Great value too! - Thursday is my lucky day now!Genuinely, the freshest, tastiest Indian restaurant!!Great value too! - "Thursday banquet" lets you choose a starter, a main, a vegetable side dish, and a rice or a naan - all for Thursday price of £14.95.... Wow!!! - I wish I could come every Thursday! (but I live in Manchester...) (Most dishes are under £10 normally, but this is a really special banquet price on Thursdays!)I chose Stuffed pepper, for starter (with lamb or chicken), then "Bengal special" (with your choice of meat/vegetarian), Mushroom Mutter, and Peshwari naan... all fresh, tasty, hot, and perfectly spiced (medium)... yummmeeee!! Try this place, if you possibly can - you will enjoy it! and you'll want to go again!! THANK YOU "RAKA" SW19... AMAZING INDIAN, FRESH FLAVOURS!! WOW!!!

First time we ordered a takeaway and hubby and I were so impressed. We ordered lamb madras, which was spicy with herbs and onions and chicken chilli masala, with sag paneer, massive chunks of paneer, with Bombay aloo, targa dall and rice. We found you by chance as drove past the restaurant the previous night. Looks so pretty. We are looking forward to our next meal.Mo

I'd like to say the worst part about my experience was the food which came raw TWICE OVER and took well over an hour to come cold as ever, but I was met with stubborn rude staff which couldn't even say please, thank you or be bothered with our existence. It felt like we were a burden to their conversations and for someone who loves supporting the restaurants local to me, I have to say avoid this place at all cost. Lastly I'd like to make this message clear to the owners that they should really reflect on their hygiene as I saw the manager coughing on their hands and not washing them after. Absolutely filthy

This place used to be amazing, the best around. Gone right down hill. Will never, ever be ordering again. Terrible, oily, greasy food, rude staff. Such a shame, whoever now runs this restaurant has run it into the ground. I have ordered from here for 10 years and will never order again. They should be ashamed.

Lights too bright, no music , no atmosphere. Took 20 mins to make a mojito I'm not sure if the waiter was struggling with the mask or just a new starter but not great. Excellent flavours but chops were tough

The meats from starter platter came out rock solid and the kebab came out undercooked. The onion baji was rock solid too. The owner /manager was shouting and screaming down the phone at a telesales caller very aggressively on three separate occasions while I was eating. The pipes for their draft beer were being cleaned and overheard the contractor say it's been only cleaned 8years ago and that the rules& regulations state that they need them cleaned every 2weeks, the manager proceeded to joke it's ok, kill more people off, anyway the corona virus is doing that .Appalling. Disgrace

A pleasant experience for all who dine hereA real gem of a find that I will certainly add to my list of good places to visit.Ordered the Batak Desi Duck and LOVED IT,What I also liked about Raka are their dessertsI personally chosen the toffee twilight ice-cream, as well as the pina colada I could easily of gone for the walnut and caramel. tooThe venue has a smart decor, attentive staffVery good value for money thou for some not all, expensiveWill be telling friends to try this place out and I will be back.Have now been back as a group of 14 where the tandoori sea bass was mouthwatering.

Cosy place with nice decorating. Staffs are friendly and service good.Nice sub continental Indian food, so good for meat lovers. Starters and Side dishes are surprisingly delicious, give a try.Thursday special set price is a good try for first comers, quality food with humble price.
