Rasa N16

North London


This shocking-pink South Indian vegetarian eatery is Stoke Newington’s best-known – and most visible – restaurant. Friendly service, a calm atmosphere, reasonable prices and outstanding food from the Indian state of Kerala are its distinctive features. The multicourse Keralan Feast (vegetarian/vegan £19.99/22.50) is for the truly ravenous.
