Just moved to the area so decided to give this a try. Glad we did. Food was really tasty, great selection, our Chicken Tikka Naga being the star turn. Plenty of it too. We had delivery (decent discount applied, thank you) and it was delivered quickly and professionally. Will definitely be our go to Indian for the future.

Ordered many times before from rubys and it’s been lovely, had one a few weeks ago was very nice . Ordered tonight and it was TERRIBLE. Placed order at 7.07 pm delivery turns up at 9 . Lamb pathia container has leaked all over everything in the bag as it was so greasy , lamb pathia itself was bland with no flavour whatsoever, Naan’s cold ,chicken balti bland no flavour. Very disappointing normally very nice

We stayed in T/Darcy at the weekend with friends and did the usual 'order a curry on the hurry'. We ordered from Rubys and they delivered to our door ahead of time and the food was piping hot. The quality of the food was great and it was good value for money - would def recommend, and we will be back!

Delivered on time, nice Flavours, but shockingly little meat . All 3 of our mains had about 5 or 6 bits of meat in them. Just filled to the brim with sauces. Maybe they thought it was acceptable on mother's day. But will go elsewhere in future

Absolutely amazing food, wide range of dishes available and really friendly staff. Can't fault the food or service or the price! Great value evening out, even more so with their 4 course set menu offer on a Sunday and Monday which itself includes the most popular dishes to please everyone! Who doesn't want a cheap but decent meal out?! At £11.95 for an adult it really can't be beaten! Honestly I can't recommend Ruby's enough, well worth a visit or a takeaway if you're a local or on holiday!

Lamb Biryani overcooked and dry. Vegetable Curry greasy. Got my order wrong, even missing an item off the order. One of life’s lessons, should have gone to the initial Indian I intended to go to.

Our friends from Mersea recommended this place so we all went out for an evening meal. We received a warm welcome upon arrival from the friendly staff. The service was prompt but best of all the food was stunning. Well presented,melt in the mouth lamb dishes were devoured all round. We look forward to returning again…🙂

From arriving we were made to feel welcome and given the choice of where we wanted to sit. Service was efficient and friendly with a good knowledge of the menu and help deciding what we would enjoy most. Our mains were bought to the table via a serving trolly so all our meals arrived together once we’d finished our starters. Great food, wonderful atmosphere and price wise, very good considering the current financial climate. Thank you Rubys for a wonderful family evening out.

where to start firstly had to put 1 star which is to much you cant put none. next delivery found me eventually postman has no trouble.my keema nan looked like it had been handled in gauntlets and thrown into into the bag it tasted passable but looked horrible it was in pieces. next the veg curry when i removed lid red oil went all over my units when i drained the oil i saw the greenish brown mess underneath first thing that come to mind how do i get rid of it yuk. i then look to my special shahi biryani looks ok then i taste tough lamb dry chicken i could not it eat could not find the prawns found some very very small shrimps . not happy but hungry so i drove to rubys to ask what went wrong i was then told it would be investigated. he also said he would let me have my next meal half price. i laughed walked out feeling insulted . shame that a customer of a few times can be treated so badly .i wonder whose next GOOD LUCK

The restaurant staff are welcoming but after that the service felt a bit sullen. The menu was interesting and the starters were nice. We chose a main course that we had never seen before and it was nice, but not stand out. The decor is standard Indian restaurant - leather chairs etc. The music was annoying and loud. The toilets needed a revamp. We would not go again, sadly.

They advertise on their menu 20% discount if you have take away. But when you go to pay in cash I may add. You might get 10% if you book on line. As you cannot get through by phone. The food is crap compared to other Indian takeaways. In the local area so I will never step foot in this establishment ever again. If you want a sit down meal The service is just as bad. It seems that they take cash & card but if paying by card it’s also more expensive L rest my cash

Placed order through JustEat and already had a wait time of 1hour-1hour 20. After 90 mins of waiting called restaurant to enquire about location of food. The man who answered was very blunt and rude and shortly hung up on me. Tried for a further 45 mins to get through to the restaurant and never any answer! Will never order again and wouldn’t advise using their delivery service again.

Having ordered food on JustEat it was clear that delivery was going to be a lot later than desired...OK, they're busy, surely a sign of a good restaurant, right? After 1.5 hours of waiting, I phoned to make sure that they'd actually received the order (just in case) and was told that the delivery was with the driver, great! After another half an hour I phoned again and was then told that the delivery left with the driver 10 minutes ago. How could this be when it apparently had left over 30 minutes prior?! Who was lying? The first or the second person I spoke to?? Well, as it turns out probably the first as the food turned up stone cold more than 2.5 hours after I ordered it. That'll be the first and last time I'll order from them!

We have used Ruby’s many times over the years and always been happy but lately we have been disappointed and yesterday’s take away prompted me to write this revue . I ordered Chicken Korma which when I opened the container had only got 5 small pieces of chicken in a very thin sauce and my partner had Chicken tikka masala also with very little chicken , we felt this was not value for money £21.00 and left us feeling that we would not go there again!

Ordered through 'just eat' as we do every week. They advised 19.15 as the delivery time, which normally they are about 30 mins early but tonight the text arrived at 19.20 saying food had left. 20.00 we left a urgent message as to non delivery via JustEat app and they did not respond, we phoned them as a rude man answered saying it might have left, if not he would get it out. We waited until 20.15 when the food turned up, it felt cold so I mentioned that to the driver who responded saying 'I was given 2no and came straight here' I said that it was 1 hour late and she responded that it was nothing to do with her she just delivers the food. The food was a bit overcooked and cold, which was not nice. I will not ear from there again and recommend others try elsewhere.Gave 2 stars as always was good but they have been getting worse for weeks in little ways.

We were warned when ordering that they were incredibly busy and it would probably take 90 minutes for delivery. They were pretty much spot on with that prediction and because we’d been warned, we didn’t mind waiting. We also knew we’d have a wait with further Covid restrictions making takeaways a more popular option than eating out.Our order arrived with profuse apologies from the very pleasant driver and was still lovely and hot. The order was spot on. Having had several takeaways from Ruby’s we have found that ordering direct seems more reliable than through Just Eat, no idea why. Telephone ordering has the advantage that you get a time estimate too and they always seem bang on with these.We ordered five meals and accompaniments, all were well cooked and packed full of flavour. My MIL was really looking forward to her Kathmandu, a dish she hasn’t found anywhere else. It didn’t disappoint!Well done Ruby’s!

We were visiting Tolleshunt D'Arcy and passed Ruby's on a Monday evening and were pleased to find it open. Although it was as expected very quiet, we were given a warm welcome by the staff. The menu had a few dishes on that we had not encountered before, so we tried the Chicken Rezetie which was topped with mushrooms and garlic, very tasty. The food was well cooked and naan breads fluffy and warm. We had a nice meal. Just a note though that they do not currently have a drinks licence, but you can bring your own. Opening hours appear to be:Lunch: 12:00pm to 2:00pmDinner: 5:00pm to 11:00pm (Sunday to Thursday)Dinenr: 5:00pm to 11:30pm (Friday & Saturday)Open 7 days a week including Bank Holidays

We go to Ruby’s quite regularly and sadly getting worse each time. A year ago we would of given 5 stars but with each visit it’s losing a point. Seems now they have lost alcohol licence they have lost interest. The last visit just after xmas the staff were shocking, food flavour non existent and the waiter although nice and tried his best really didn’t have a clue. I generally think they got him off the street. Poor bloke was well out his depth. Sadly Not sure if we will be going back. Hopefully things will improve as once upon a time you couldn’t keep us away.

We arrived dead on 7.35pm And we were told it would be 5 minutes. The restaurant was quite busy but there was a real sense of unease. As we waited and waited and waited for our takeaway we observed people st rd led getting agitated as they clearly were not getting service for drinks and orders. The phone kept ringing and orders kept being taken as we waited and waited and waited. Shut came up and said he had waited 1hour and 20 minutes for his order.

The waiter who took our order messed the drinks up, I asked for my curry not to have corriander in it & it came covered in it so they said they would scrape it off, they bought 3 rice out of the two of us, we were not given hot flannels after our meal, never asked if we wanted dessert, we were overcharged on our bill, the restaurant was not over busy & they had plenty of waiting staff so I can see no reason for the terrible service.

We had to all wait while the rest of our take away was delivered we were very disappointed as the missing dishes were tasteless and the chicken dansk which was originally missing was very watery and tasteless the garlic naans which were originally missing were missing any garlic one of the dishes was a king Prawn Bhuna which was missing prawns just an object which didn't resemble any thing and tasted disgusting on the whole a complete nightmare will never order from here again disgusting horrible food!!!

We were staying at the Crown Plazza Hotel in Colchester some 3 miles from Rub's. Unfortunately the Crown Plazza stopped serving food at 9.30pm. A quick check of google and Ruby's was sourced. We made a reservation for 9.45pm. On turning up at the restaurant, it was completely empty. We didn't want to be the only diners in the restaurant and opted for take out food to take back to the hotel. the food was cooked freshly, was of a good portion size. Staff were polite, helpful friendly and efficient. It wasn't the 'greatest' Indian meal we've had, but it wasn't unpleasant. Good value, good service in this really remote location.

I started getting take aways from Ruby's a while ago and initially they were very good but the service has gone down hill. The staff a very rude. The last meal I had was also not great... A kind of curry I guess but more like soup with a couple of curly black hairs included at no extra cost. Needless to say I won't be visiting again.

Ordered a takeaway - our first experience from Ruby's. Best curry my son and I ever had. Delicious food, good quick service - arrived 5 minutes earlier than stated. Reasonably priced. Will definitely order again

I had a delivery from here, didn't use my usual place and tried this for a change. Chicken Dhansak was passableMushroom rice was goodBombay aloo was reasonable if a little oilyKeema naan again reasonableSaag paneer, well, I've really no idea what it was but spinach was in short supply. Kind of a curried custard with cubes of paneer. Not offensive, but not what a saag paneer is supposed to be!I can't imagine I'll be rushing back but if you're in a fix and need a quick and courteous delivery, it'll do.

I ordered a delivery for 4 adults and 2 kids. The order arrived after an hour and wasn't very hot and was a curry missing. I phoned up to inform them of this and they said that the curry wasn't written on the order but they would send one out. This would have been because the guy on the phone couldnt understand English very well. It arrived 45 mins later! I told the guy at the door that my nann bread, chips and rice was now cold and he asked me for £11. I refused to pay for the curry and he was very rude and said ok then ill take it back. I think this is disgusting customer service after i paid £65 for the food i did get. Wont be back

Love Ruby's Indian, we always order an Indian takeaway from here, i always order an off menu dish and they have no issue preparing this to an excellent standard. Would recommend eating in and take away from here!

Went here on Sunday evening and we had the set menu which was £9.95 for a starter, main and either rice or naan. The choice of food was very good there we're 4 or 5 starters and the same number of mains and good selection of sides to choose from.The waiter was very friendly and the food was well prepared and tasted excellent. The restaurant was very clean and bright and well spaced out. Will definitely visit here again.

Really poor service, ordered and told you shall have your food within 50mins-1hour. We rang to see where our food was, and because you had only one driver that was our problem that our food took an extra hour. Food came and it wasn't hot, minimal taste and a real let down. We used you all the time but after this, we will not be returning as a family.

Went tonight and had the best meal again as always. Asked for no coriander and that's exactly what was served up. One of the best Indian restaurants around. You need to try. Such lovely food. The tenderest lamb dishes you'll ever have. See you soon

Love Ruby's whenever I stay down the road at the CP 5 Lakes hotel, I come here for dinner, usually once a month. Being a creature of habit I always stick to the same dishes but they are delicious. South Indian Chilli Garlic Chicken or lamb if I am feeling adventurous is simply divine, paired with a garlic rice & nann bread you can't go wrong. Prices are fair, service is always good, food is portioned well. Lots of variety on the menu, never had a bad meal, just some more special than others.Generally quite during the week but I have dined at the weekend with my partner, to be fair the atmosphere is better when the restaurant is busy but that wouldn't stop me from dining on a week night when its quieter.

Staying at the five lakes again so called in for a curry. Met with friendly staff and seated at a table for two. (The tables are a bit small in my opinion). Chicken chat puree to start South Indian garlic chilli chicken as a main with pilau rice with a chapati. The starter was bang on but the main was very hot. I had the same dish a month ago and was no where near that hot. I love a madras but it was hotter than a vindaloo.

Very friendly staff and service, they all have impeccable manners. Food of a consistently good quality. Their meal deals on Sunday and Monday nights are extraordinary good value. We are lucky to have this restaurant on our doorstep.

Staying at the five lakes up the road and called in here for a nice change to the mundane food served at hotel. Very friendly staff and the food was excellent. We ate in the week and would image it would be busy at the weekend.

Arrived early on a Friday evening without a reservation but they were very welcoming and even supplied a high chair for a 7 month old baby without any hesitation.Friendly staff and an excellent menu with great variety (but with the regular dishes available too). The only issue we had was the long wait for food once we had ordered which was difficult with children with us. However, the food was well worth waiting for - a taste above the normal. If you have time to make an evening of it and not in a rush - we would highly recommend.

Clean, friendly busy. Dont expect massive flavours as basic cooking skills. But that said its ok for a quick takeaway and good for a gathering.

We were staying at five lakes hotel and called to book a table, they offered to pick us up and take us to the restaurant. We were greeted in hotel restaurant by Mabz and he drove us to resturant where we had a fantastic meal with very friendly service. Would definitely go back again if we came back.

We visited to try the Dairy and Gluten Free menu. The food was really tasty with a great selection for people with these intolerances. Service was really good and you can tell they are really committed to providing a good option for people with specific dietary requirements.
