3/5
So I finally made a trip to Ravi Soup. After all the good reviews and my friend's recommendation, I was very excited about this place.
I ordered soup and wrap combo: curry lamb wrap & corn crab chowder which was around $12-3 include tax. What a great deal?! However when I got my food I was bit disappointed. Corn chowder was decent but nothing special. It was creamy chowder with bits of corns and light touch of crab meat. When I heard about corn chowder, I was expecting deep corn flavor and a nice touch of crab meat. There was barely no corn flavour or actual corn in the soup. To be fare, soup itself was still better than a lot of other awful places, but it definitely didn't meet my expectation. Same for the wrap, but at least wrap delivered what it promised to deliver. It was a nice fresh wrap packed with lamb meat and a light curry kick. It has a bit of typical stench of lamb meat but curry covered it nicely. Also after a light kick of curry, sweet potato smoothen the pallette. It was a good balance but still not extraordinary. I personally enjoy more defined and characteristic dishes. if you enjoy not over seasoned dishes, you will definitely enjoy Ravi Soup.
The restaurant is more of a loud and busy. It's more of hit and run kind of place then an actually restaurant or a quite cafe. There are few small tables and a huge table at the back. It will be a good place to grab something during lunch hour at work. They also have a patio at the back. It was too cold for me to go check out but seems pretty nice.
Overall, Ravi Soup was a nice place to grab something light and warm food if I'm around the neighborhood. At this point, it's not worth a making trip but just in case if it's a bad day thing, I will have to make one or two more visit to make a right decision.
