This is the second time I’ve visited with my daughters and this is fast becoming our favourite Indian restaurant. The Pepper Chicken was spicy but very tasty. We will be back!

Lovely food, a bit strange that they “don’t do anything with mushrooms “! Nice staff - the waitress in particular was excellent. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Great service, lovely authentic Indian food - its not the standard tikka massala/madras/bhuna/pathia list on the menu - and decent prices. We've been a few times and always have a good experience. Decor is improving as the owners settle in and continue to invest. The front door closer needs adjusting as it doesn't always close the door fully, letting a draught in - staff are quick to respond and close it, but this is a distraction for the staff and affects anyone sitting near the front door. A few minutes with a screwdriver should sort the issue out. We visited on Valentines evening and it wasn't full - I think there could be a case for a more eye catching window or signage, to help draw people in? Some social media presence may also help - its also free? Overall, a very nice

Masala Dosas we shared as starters were superb. Two of the four of us thought the main courses were a bit bland - more spices?

This was my second visit to Ruchie as I first visited the restaurant in its first week of opening and they have really got their rhythm of service going. The dishes are unfamiliar and exciting and freshly prepared. Great that the staff/owner is on hand to assist with dishes and personally checking that everything is ok. Will definitely be back, recommend booking as 7pm on Friday 4th January the restaurant was busy, great to see in a local independent restaurant. Can’t wait to return.

Putting it simply...Service was excellent, food was better. If you haven't being here before, then give it a try it gets busy so you might need to book a table.

On 6th December I took 4 friends who had not eaten at Ruchie before though 2 of them had heard about how good the food was from other friends. They were all delighted not only with the food but also the ambiance, welcome & service from Thanuja & all the staff. Thank you again. Delicious food & lovely friendly welcome. Best wishes. Loraine

Beautifully presented food and excellent service. My chicken tikka starter was delicious probably the best I have had. I asked for my chicken and spinach meal to be made hotter and it was perfect.
