About Ritu Season of India - St John's Wood
Ritu means seasons in Sanskrit. The food at our restaurant is inspired by the seasons of India and the culinary expertise derived from the abundant local produce. Each season yields different ingredients and none more famous than the sweet Indian mangoes that the soaring summer temperatures bring, or the pure comfort of fragrant masala chai on a cold winter day. The rhythm, flow and transformation that these seasons bring to the natural landscape translate into everything at Ritu.
