Have been a few times to Realitea and the food is always amazing..all home made,fresh ingredients and beautifully spiced Indian food. Lovely clean restaurant and ideal if you just fancy a cuppa and slice of cake which are delicious! Friendly staff and Sarita is always willing to give her time and explain the different dishes to you . Tonight we thoroughly enjoyed the Indian Dhaba Dining Experience, which they offer on a Tuesday evening..a 4 course meal… reasonably priced and absolute taste sensation..I cannot recommend enough! Ripon is so lucky to have this little treasure on our doorstep!
We have been for brunch a couple of times and last night came for one of their famed tapas evenings so very very good. All the food is so delicious and so lovingly prepared the parathas are unforgettable and the the cheesecake for dessert was so so good. Everything we had was so tasty. I also love the ambience relaxed and calm and everything feels like it is done with such love and care. During the day there are cakes with a nod to an Indian theme eg including cardamon and they are so pretty. I love the brunch a curry with paratha with sides in a thali tray.
2nd visit for a set evening meal and just fabulous! I cannot recommend Realtea enough....wholesome freshly prepared food that is worth savouring in a pleasant and unpretentious environment. Food quality excellent Service excellent Taste excellent Friendliness excellent Just excellent!
We stumbled upon this fantastic restaurant while on a new tour with Yorkshire Appetite Food Tours. It was a delightful discovery - the food was incredibly tasty, the service was lovely, and the menu was intriguing. I will definitely be coming back, perhaps for the afternoon tea!

We recently dined at Sarita's renowned Saturday night Indian Tapas event. The food was absolutely delicious as always, and the service was fantastic. We enjoyed trying some new dishes and the atmosphere was wonderful. We can't wait to visit again!
