Our Heritage
Our Story
A culinary journey from the banks of the Raavi River to the heart of London
The Beginning
Where Food Brings People Together
Our story began over 25 years ago in a restaurant where two people met — one with a lifelong passion for cooking, the other drawn in by its warmth — and together, we discovered the magic that happens when food brings people together.
What started as a simple moment became a lifelong journey, with food always at its heart. Through the years, we've shared meals, created memories, and nurtured a dream of creating something meaningful — a place where heritage meets hospitality.
The Name
Why "Raavi"?
Inspired by the Raavi River, that flows from India into Pakistan, crossing borders and uniting lands, histories and generations. For centuries, the Raavi has been a lifeline of the Punjab region, nourishing communities on both sides.
To us, it represents connection beyond boundaries — a reminder that culture, food and humanity are meant to be shared, not divided. The river carries within it the essence of Punjab, the land of five rivers, where our culinary traditions were born and perfected over generations.
Just as the Raavi's waters flow deep and timeless, our flavours carry warmth, soul and meaning to every table we serve.
Our Vision
More Than a Restaurant
With Raavi Spice, our dream is simple: to create a space built on authenticity, respect and togetherness — where people gather, cultures meet, and communities grow stronger.
More than a restaurant, Raavi Spice is a shared story that honours heritage and celebrates unity, inviting everyone to connect through food and experience.
Like the river that inspires our name, our flavours flow deep and timeless, carrying warmth, soul and meaning to every table. We welcome you to become part of our story.

Togetherness
Food has always brought us together. We create a space where families gather, friends connect, and communities grow stronger around the table.

Every dish is prepared with care and intention. We respect our heritage, our ingredients, and every guest who walks through our doors.
