Ragam is a longstanding South Indian restaurant at 57 Cleveland Street in Fitzrovia. The intimate dining room has welcomed guests since the 1980s, offering a relaxed neighbourhood setting in which the food of Kerala is presented through traditional recipes, fragrant spices and warm hospitality.
Crisp masala dosa, soft iddly, onion bhaji and spiced seafood introduce the menu with a broad range of textures. Curry leaves, coconut, tamarind, ginger and black pepper build the distinctive flavour of many dishes, while carefully chosen vegetarian starters give mixed tables plenty to share.
Kerala specialities include aromatic chicken, lamb and prawn preparations alongside fish curries influenced by the Malabar coast. Biryani, rice, paratha and vegetable curries complete a substantial meal, with vegan choices such as okra and potato curry or vegetable Malabar offering the same depth of seasoning.
Lassi, beer and wine accompany the food, while Indian sweets provide a gentle finish after the more assertive spices. Lunch boxes, evening service, collection and delivery make Ragam equally suitable for a quick Fitzrovia meal or a longer dinner built around several regional dishes.
