Delicious food and a lovely setting. The restaurant is comfortable and modern, and the menu is varied. Our party all enjoyed our meals. The service was great too.

Great food, great service and always delivers within time! A fantastic place to sit down and eat or a takeaway! Thank you to the team at Ruchita for your excellent food and service over the past 20 plus years.Highly recommend!!! Just superb! No more to be said!

The best Indian restaurant in UK as far as I am concerned. Had a birthday dinner there for my wife with a couple of friends there and it was awesome. My favourites are Phall, lamb pasta, and pilau rice. Absolutely not over priced too.

Food is good but they need to maintain there taste because it is completely salt less as people having diff options in salt as i justifies ...

I have just collected a takeaway curry from the Ruchita.Chicken tikka rogan josh I have been visiting and having takeaways from them since they opened and can say that this was the best curry I have ever had if you have never been there then you are missing out

I have been using this restaurant for a few years. The latest makeover and adjustments to the menu have given it a new lease of life and the high standard of food has not dropped. Well worth a visit

I love the new refurb rhe restaurant feels modern and welcoming. Great food and as always, friendly service.

I was sad to hear that the owner has passed away. He was a nice man and we enjoyed going to Ruchita regularly over the years. Unfortunately, I dont think I will be in a rush to return after the changes, Ruchita was welcoming, unique and great value for money. The changes have made it a place without character, weekday deals no longer exist, you can only get drinks from bottles, a small bottle of coke is £3, I could get a large glass of coke for almost the same price before, portions are smaller, the salad that comes in a small ramekin is a complete joke, so you will pay more for your meals and food. No plate warmers, this made a difference to the meal before.The service is not as good, slow and not as attentive as before. No worth the visit anymore. Sad as I loved the old Ruchita.

We visited for the first time for a family meal and have to say experience is on point. The star dishes on the menu we highly recommend to try is the boneless fish and garlic mushrooms dishes amongst the staple curries! Thanks to the staff and their hospitality very classy atmosphere plus at the end the meal we tried their cocktail of the month - the exclusive Pegu club 😀

A most excellent restaurant. I had a takeaway from Ruchita recently and it was well up to their usual high standard. Reasonable prices and a polite, efficient attitude. Highly recommended.

Always deliver good food under the time stated however tonight it took 1 hour and 12 mins and the food was virtually cold very disappointed with the service tonight 😒

Dreadful samosas. I picked up some samosas on my way past this eve. Very quick service for my takeaway order, which was great, but when I got home I was very disappointed. Dry lamb filling with hardly any seasoning and a few peas in filo pastry - far removed from authentic Indian samosas. Only visit if you’ve had one too many drinks, for a poor imitation of real Indian food - avoid if you want anything even close to authentic.

After visiting Ruchita over the last month I have picked up on some excellent qualities, these are: kind and helpful staff, flavourful food, comfortable dining and good organisation.I highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for fresh food made with heritage and love.

Not what it used to be. Mixed service. Good food though.

Really improved the decor & the food was excellent! Service was impeccable!

We have ordered tandoori roti, chicken madras and chicken kebab. Tandoori roti is very hard. chicken pieces in chicken madras is not cooked with tasted very sweet. We got some meat instead of chicken kebab. When we called the restaurant to give feedback, the manager was very rude and told they can’t do anything about it and they didn’t even apologised. These people are so unprofessional and the food here tastes so bad. Please don’t order from here.

First time using Ruchita the wife and I were well impressed, delivered on time, super hot and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be using Rachita again. 5 star.

A little sad to see the changes that bring additional noise back from the hard floor and makes more for the modern casual feel of many Resturant Chains these days. Prices have increased a tad by stealth as to be expected given the long Closure but no midweek temping meal deals nor any novalties that ensure the customer feels he must come back soon. We will continue to pop in hoping the new folks take on board what we are hearing as the Ruchita is convienient and still provides good food. All the best. I&A

We visited here a few days back and had a lovely meal. The we had a shashlik and a biriyani which were really tasty.

Ordered from Ruchita a delivery takeaway which arrived very quickly and was excellent! Will definitely be going there again.

Amazing food! Been going for years from 20 miles away! Hands down amazing restaurant!

Top notch food, full of flavour very good prices, staff was polite and friendly would reccomend and will be back

Last night my friend and I went back to our favourite Ruchita Indian restaurant and we absolutely loved our meal.We we greeted nicley by Mr Raz and his colleagues, we had starters and main meals. Our food was beautifully served, fresh and tasty. I recommend meat samosas which are just mouthwatering. Our mains arrived literally with the steam, the presentation was lovely too. I tried lamb korma which was very good as the meat was so tender. We shared as light as a custom Naan bread which was vey good and it can only find in Ruchita 😀Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we will go back ,Mr Raz make sure everyone have mask which make more comfortable and very important at this Covid time, so thanks to Ruchita .also thanks Jubi for free drinks on the house .Thank you all for all your wonderful work in the kitchen and on the floor of this lovely restaurant.

Best Indian restaurant (sit down or takeaway) in the area. Food is always hot, tasteful and goes down a treat.

You know that scene at the end of Ratatouille where Anton Ego; the food critic tastes Remy’s dish and he has this epic flashback that transports him back to his childhood? That’s what happened to me last night at the Ruchita…I grew up in Earlswood in the 80’s and 90’s and ate there frequently, so go ahead and call me biased. But I have moved many times since then, further and further away to raise a family. I’ve found some good Indian restaurants in that time, but in my mind they’ve always been lacking that “je ne sais quoi”. I still order from different ones in my local town all the time, giving them each a chance (and another and another…) to be THE one. My local.Well last night, whilst tearing apart what looked to be a diamond encrusted piece of garlic naan and mopping up my wife’s chicken tikka dansak with it, I was struck…. flavour! It’s FLAVOUR!Every dish, EVERY DISH was punchy and loud and delicious... Dripping with flavour. I could see how the garlic naan was going to taste before I put it in my mouth. I knew something magical was about to happen!Perhaps some people don’t like too much flavour, or perhaps some restaurants simply skimp on the ingredients to make them go further, I don’t know.What I can tell you is, that if you like tasty food… I mean proper tasty, then get down to the Ruchita and try it for yourself.There’s also a fresh, calm, laid back atmosphere too, so it was such a lovely visit and the perfect venue for Mummy & Daddy’s date night. After all, it even says it on the wall….“Ruchita is family”

Staff was very polite couldnt fault them, food was amazing full of flavour even my fussy children ate everything on their plate 10/10 look forward to our next visit 😍

Worst experience with delivery i ever had. Food never been delievered and when we called, we been told that driver tried to call and knock on a door but no one answer which isn’t true since we been excited waiting for it since we placed order. Manager was very rude and swear at us. Very unprofessional and horrible behaviour. Wish there was a zero star because one seems to be too kind for this service and being told to f*** off when asked for refund as food was never delieverd. DO NOT RECOMMEND !!!

Terrible. Tried to over-charge us by £39. Rudest waiter Ive ever seen.Went here to take advantage of the eat out to help out scheme. Bill came to £67.50 for 2 people, 2 mains, 1 starter, 4 poppadums 1 soft drink and 2 pints. Clearly wrong. When queried this with the waiters, they were immediately stand off. Eventually it came to light the £19.50 discount had been added on to the bill instead of deducting, resulting in them trying to over-charge us by £39. When eventually going to pay the correct amount of £28.50, the waiter put down another bill which when my partner went to read, the waiter was rude, saying Thats mine. Leave it. to him even though it looked like he was giving us a corrected bill. He gave me the card machine without letting me see the charge and when asked to see the charge he was very rude again.I feel they made this error on purpose to try and get more money from us. Not once did they apologies for their oversight.The food was okay.

Great place for a family dinner. Conveniently placed by the station. Friendly staff, wide selection of food, always brilliant, and a relaxing atmosphere inside. The kids enjoy it too. The staff were nice enough to let the kids in the kitchen at a safe time. Love it!

The worst takeaway ever! Reheated dried up meat in galleons of sauce. This is a bad example of Britains favourite food, a total waste of money. Theyve also shrinked all the sundries and charge double the price, bad value for money, and a slur on Indian cooking. They treat thier customers with contempt in my opinion. NEVER AGAIN!!!

We booked a table for a group of us at 730pm for the eat out to help out and we arrived on time and was told there was not enough space. We was not the only people told to sit outside why we wait for a free blue despite booking. Bossman said it wasn’t is fault yet they were the ones over booking? When we get in not only is it completely packed no one is observing social distancing. Bossman kept getting up close to us all close and touching us as well as others. Be aware they also get you drunk so they can over charge you which has happened multiple times!

My favourite Curry place ever! Friendly and fabulous tasting food.

Best curry ever excellent service

Will take your oeder make you wait then tell you they can not deliver

Lovely spicy curry. Mix grill starter and chicken dhansak 👍

Staff are really friendly and polite only thing is food needed a bit more flavour but it was nice

Just ordered I had meat mimosa and lamb biryani. Lamb melted in the mouth excellent willBe going again

First time in my lifetime, writing a review like this.. very bad experience...Had gone to this restaurant for dinner with my friend. Very bad hospitality and service. God bless this restaurant...

Amazing takeaway, requested delivery for 8pm and on the dot they were here. Thank you

Horrible .... terrible.. stale food. We ordered chicken as starter and got some other meat. Tandoori roti is not something which a human can chew.. Moreover, when i called for complaint ,they said i am lying. Instead of an apology, they were very rude and ill mannered. Highly unprofessional.

Went first time in this restaurant...and it was horrible experience..they took way too long to bring our orders and the worst part is that they forgot to bring our curries and papadoms and then we again waited for our curries to come ... after all this, the food was horrible..we are vegetarian and the food was way too oily and tasteless... Having very bad experience with this restaurant.. never going again. Staffing services are also not very nice may be we were just one Indian family . They didnt consider nicely compared as to others.Other restaurants trishala, Everest spice are very good... food as well as services.

1. One old chap was there to take order he was rude, dont know how to behave and take orders.2. Veg thali is utter waste, not worth for the amount its full of potatoes.3. Non veg curries isnt good.

Great restaurant and good food at a good price. Staff are very welcoming and friendly, can not fault the whole experience. 5 stars

Ate here on Saturday 8th February 2020 for a booking of 20 people for a birthday meal.I have to say service was friendly, food was fantastic and all round very positive experience. Dont be put off by bad reviews! ✭✭✭✭✭

Quick service and nice starters. The mains were not that great. Nice rice and drinks bit let down by the main meals. Probably not return as there are better ones around locally.

Good food.

Very good. Ive been to Ruchita a few times but this was by far the best.There were 12 of us and the service was great and the food was delicious and freshly prepared.

Sorry but food was not that good. I had ordered few items from their website. But I am not happy with the preparation and taste.

Terribly disappointing! This used to a brilliant restaurant but the standards in both food quality and service have declined massively over the last year. We were once regular customers that will not be returning.

The restaurant is always clean and tidy. Great atmosphere whether with friends, family or your partner. They do great deals and the food is amazing. Definitely worth every penny. Always our first choice for Indian takeaway and go very often to dine in the restaurant. Never had any complaints. Newly refurbished, and beautiful new bathrooms. Definitely the best Indian around. I would definitely recommend you to try and see for yourself. If you like Indian. I may have just introduced you to your new number 1 curry house. :)

Excellent restraunt! food is very good for the reasonable price it is! and the staff are friendly.

Fab place to visit, great food and service is pretty good too. Enjoy the bowl of mint chocs and complimentary tipple to round the evening off.

A fantastic curry house with a great team from chefs to service. The Lamb Tikka Dansak is out of this world!

Very disappointing, dried up meat, not a lot of sauce with a pathia, small naam, runny takka dhal 😔

Worst takeaway ever. Papadum’s were stale and soggy, the curry was flavourless and meat was awful.

Easily the worst take away food I have ever eaten. Seemed like Indian food made by someone who had never eaten Indian food, or had but hated it and wanted revenge. By making it bland and adding oil. Truly, madly, deeply revolting.

I have great memories of this restaurant, however my most recent visit was very disappointing. Food was great but the £10 a head banquet deal is not what it seems at all! The leaflet states what is included and there are parts on the leaflet online and in the restaurant which state exclusions apply e.g under mains so you know to ask which ones arent included in the deal.However, under others like tea and coffee for example there is not that note, so you assume any tea or coffee is included and they dont even have the courtesy to tell you if its not included when you order it! I am always happy to pay for good food and drink but its very upsetting being conned out of money by a restaurant that has previously exceeded expectations.What initially looks like a good £20 for two deal can easily turn into £35+ all because they refuse to tell you the exclusions and expect you to guess! Will not be returning.

I love Ruchita. In my opinion, its the best tasting local Indian restaurant or take away. Ive always had good service from them and lovely food.

Excellent Indian restaurant well established & consistently good. Fair prices with meal deals. Prompt service & pleasant ambience .... busy so booking advisable

Been going here on and off for 20 years, twice recently and consistently excellent food, value and service. More than happy to come back anytime. Shame naan breads are so tiny :)

Great food, great value for money, super friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

We use Ruchita since many years a go, both restaurant and take away. Food is lovely and price so good. They always treat us so nicely. I definitely recommend.

Really nice food, staff are pleasant enough, I can recommend the Madras but one of the hottest madras Ive ever had, I thought I had a good tolerance for hot food but I found this very hot, tasted lovely though

Best Indian restaurantive been to so far I went during Valentines Day which if you went your significant otherwill be treated respectfully there and on top of which they gave out pretty little free thing of champagne which was yummy and there service was amazing quick to respond and helpful in every way they know how to treat you well💯also great place if youre a spice lover🔥🔥🔥🔥

I usually enjoy my experience here good food and gr8 service. I have just arrived it was 13.30 website says lunch between 12.00 and 14.00. I was told I can only have takeaway. The bald man who says he is the manager said no cant stay not enough time to eat. I said I have come b4 any this time no problem. Im with my elderly mother who normally enjoys the experience now she is upset. What should have been an enjoyable lunch has become a bit of a bad taste and experience for my mum. Please no need to be rude and aggressive to yr customers

Had a delivery this evening,... food cold, tasteless, bland . No sauce to the lamb bhuna??? No mango chutney as ordered and paid for? On the plus side the nan bread was delicious

When I called to complain that my Tandoori was almost cold and that the compound chicken was pink in the middle , the manager implied I was lying. Last time I will use that place. Dodgy.

Very rude staff including the manager or whoever he is. I was called foreigner by one of the writers just because I stood up to go to the toilet while he was collecting plates. I dont think this restaurante is running by any British staff or even sell British food. Food is nice but very poor customer service. They have to learn a lot from the British people. Never been so bad treated in any restaurants in England. I also dont think they can deal very well when the restaurant is busy. They all run around like headless chickens.

I ordered on their web site. Food arrived 5-10 mins later than they said. The web site gave a countdown. Food arrived just before I was going to call, it was all there, but it was cold. Considering delivery time was only a few mins it shouldnt have had time to get cold. I can forgive the time it took being a Saturday evening. But it should have arrived hot.

Not a recommendations by any means unfortunately.Been hearing a lot about how this place is set to close for various reasons. Went last night. Shockingly rude staff, and quite dirty looking if thats not too unfair. Spotted a fair few times some nose picking, and coughing into bags they were putting food into. Hate to know what happens when theyre not in view!This aside, the rudeness was unbelieveable.How I saw then treat a young family with a baby was horrific. The family left soon after arriving. Didnt want to stay and eat. I wish we had too. Food really wasnt great. It was once a few months ago, but before that not great. Cant rely on food or service now meaning my family and I will also now join the list of ex-customer. I will also have to advise our friends and neighbours.

We love Rushita great value food and the staff are lovely.

Always a good experience

Very nice food. Take away was delicious.

Awesome food from a great local family run reataurant. Has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and makes everybody feel welcome, whether couples or big groups. New outside seating is great for drinks after your meal too. Use the takeaway a lot and its always exceptional. My favourite local Indian!

Good food and service. Very reasonable price.

Good food nice place

Lovely food.. great deals.. staff always welcoming.. not much else to say really..

Good tasting food and good service friendly too

Sad to say it is not half the restaurant it used to be. Was one of the best for miles for a long time... now the food is very lacklustre, the service was unfriendly and the whole experience was disappointing.

Literally THE best Indian food around. I have been coming here for years and I just stumbled across the review option. The service is fantastic, great family run restaurant with really really good food. I wouldnt go anywhere else, highly recommend and love their new patio area!

Polite, swift service, decent food & portion sizes.

Lovely food, helpful staff, value for money!

Horrible. Firstly the food was cold, the chicken in the korma was pink and not cooked, the sag aloo tasted like nothing and the naan bread was dry and hard to chew as though it had been heated over various times. Our tikka was missing its sauce and our peanut butter chicken was dipped in peantbutter not cooked with it. Disappointed. Stick ti Any other places in the redhill area

Great indian food. Have a go at trying to make the boss smile.

On if the best in the area... Nice service authentic food. All of the favorites. Always something tk suit all budgets.

Nice food, lovely Indian restaurant. Worth a visit

For a restaurant which was established more than 10-20 years ago, really dissatisfied with the food. Burned naans and medium cooked chicken dishes is what I got there. And the waiter got really offended when I gave the feedback. Definitely not a place to get the authentic Indian food tastes.

Waiters and service was 10/10. But definetly not authentic Indian. We ordered two curries, one pilau rice and one peshwari naan. Took 45mins and the resturant wasnt even at half capacity. The butter chicken was actually a chicken jalfrezi with tomatoes with a big blob of butter on top. The peshwari naan was the smallest I had ever seen. It was smaller than the average sized poppodams. Everything we ordered lacked salt. My wife and I had to really pile the salt on for there to be any flavour to the curry (were not ones to usually have salt on the tableside). Owner was very nice and going around every table frequently to make sure diners were happy and if there was anything they needed. When I complained about the butter chicken the waiter was very polite and even offered complimentary drinks and deserts at the end but we kindly declined. Excellent service, excellent layout, terrible food!

Fantastic takeaway, lovely staff and the food is always brilliant

Tarka dahl, Bombay aloo and rice, truly authentic tasty food.

Scrumptious food at reasonable prices with a good atmosphere.A group of friends and I had been trying out different curry houses in the redhill area and weve found the best in Ruchita.Welcoming staff and hospitality!Highly recommended for family and friends!

I dont think its fair to review on one visit but my visits here vary. I do enjoy the food no doubt and I originally came because of the relaxed environment and being only 5 minutes from us but there always seem to be one thing that sticks out. I was born in redhill and Ruchita has always there so I like to support the businesses in my area.Myself and my husband are both asian/indian looking and from my many experiences on visits I find that we are not really treated with the same courtesy as others, maybe because we arent english and we choose not to drink alcohol I dont really know.. they probably dont bother with us because we dont do big spending on drinks.. it seems like we get always sat at the corner with a rushed service and no smile. I even remember a time where we were sat in the far corner and around us were 3 english couples. The waiter went round to ask everyone if they are okay and completely missed us out ( they must have took us for the waiters)A select few of the waiters are very good and I always will tip them. ( Bald guy with glasses, hands down the best)One of my worst visits I tested the theory and actually tipped £20 on top on my bill despite the cold service and I saw the waiter go back to his boss (huge guy with the beer belly, always moody) and I saw the surprise in their faces. I think they just look at us like we are stingy asian people and we wont spend out on drinks etc which isnt the case at all but obviously we are not worth a good service like others.After this visit I told my husband despite the lovely food I dont really want to go back there simply because I want a nice experience when I go to dinner like all others and cant be bothered to be treated like the way we have been, its very uncomfortable.We now prefer to make the travel into london to get a more authentic range of different foods and a much nicer service.

Yummy food best indian in town

The food from this place is spot on every time. Never use anywhere else.Friendly staff that speak good English. Love this place.

Very disappointed as the service & food was quite frankly appalling.This place used to be so good! What’s happened???

Ruchitas never disappoints. Been going there for many years, the food is always good, the staff are always friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Also very easy to get to as its right next to the station.

Atmosphere awful, staff rude. This place used to have friendly staff but not any more. Food is still good, but not sure if I am coming back again.

Food is quite good but the staff is very unfriendly. A toddler and a 3 months old baby was asked not to cry. I dont recommend for anyone with kids.

Good food. Great value. Good service

Very good services, nice and intimate, inside!😊
