From the restaurant web site:
"Ravi Shankar Bhel pori House
Vegetarian restaurant situated in the small Indian enclave of Drummond Street. Which has modelled itself on the nearby to Euston Station, we offers excellent value, seats about 60+ in cafe style surroundings - wooden tables and chairs - and serving first class, authentic food including a variety of Dosas, Idli and Uthappam from South India. We also serve several types of Bhel Puri. You don’t get any of these in your average high street curry house so it’s worth making the most of."
"Starting with our excellent Bhel Puri is a must although Dahi Vada (fried balls of spiced split black lentils and served with a sweet/sour sauce) - also a specialty of Bombay - also makes a good preliminary snack. Starters also good, particularly Potato Bonda (spicy mashed potato and lentil deep fried). Our Dosas are superb - the Mysore Masala Dosa which is served with a pot of Sambar and a coconut chutney. The more familiar vegetable dishes - Mixed Vegetable, Bombay Aloo, Cauliflower Bhaji etc. - are all spicy and delicious."
"A good restaurant and Thalis (traditional Indian set menu selection of veg) offer good value. Thali comprising dal, mixed vegetable curry, potato & pea curry, bhajias, rice and chapattis or puri and complete with a desert is particularly good. We also offer a daily special which look good. We also serve Indian Masala Tea afterwards and fresh mint or other tea."
