Despite all the horror stories I've heard, (and none of them first hand), I've never encountered "Ravi's Revenge", and can only assume it's now in "Lonely Plant" or some such publication, [or the financial crisis is really biting], for these days, you see as many pink faces, (most of them obviously tourists, and not "local" expats), filling the tables, whereas a few years ago, the pinkie diners were an (aventurous) few and far between the predominently sub-continential clientale.
If you're after good, cheap Indian scran, (although they do all sorts of other stuff as well) and you're even mildly adventurous in your culinary tastes, Ravi's in Satwa Road is well worth a visit. (It's across the roundabout from Rydge's Plaza, where there are good and varied restaurants as well - Italian, Tex Mex - and you can get a beer). At this time of year, sitting outside is usually very pleasant if you don't mind the (many) other diners very close alongside you nor the cars going by only a metre or so away from you.
