Ruchi in Rochdale

Ordered our usual takeaway the potatoes and onions were not cooked properly and were lucky if there were 2 prices of chicken in the CHICKEN BIRIYANI A little disappointed to say the least !!

first time here for takeaway .Amazing food best i have had in ages definataly get takeaway again. recommend highly and hopefully go to there restaurant soon

Because of lockdown,ordered a 70th birthday meal for my partner. Ordered for 7PM and delivered at 7PM!!cannot wait to go back for a meal inside.best indian takeaway and restaurant in rochdale. X

We went on a Saturday so no food deals like there are sun- thurs. the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated with a lovely ambiance. The staff attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing second to non and by far the best curry house in Rochdale at the moment. The bill topped off the evening I was shocked at how cheap it was for the 5star service we received

Love this place..my wife and myself go the the Ruchi once a week...food quality is superb. atmosphere is relaxing ..service is great.

Dirty floor Good welcome Service ok Food ok but not original...as my friend was pakistano and he knew his food, but for me was nice... Place seems to be nice but need renovation, toilets especially...

Our first visit to this restaurant after unexpectedly passing through Rochdale, we based this visit on reviews and wasn’t disappointed . Fresh cooked food and friendly staff will be returning.

Person on the telephone - was talking to others and got all our order wrong - chips were cold driver did not know where we lived shame as the meal was not bad

Good always amazing, service really good and staff always friendly. Best place in Rochdale to get a curry

How this is highly rated i dont know. Most disgusting curry i ever had.. not even fresh it appeared frozen and re heated. Kebabs were horrible

Tuesday evening early bird special. Starter and main for £9. Firstly the service. Can't fault it very polite and friendly. Couldn't have been better servise wise. The food. Apparently I didn't like it last time I went I don't remember. I had chicken tikka masala. And the mixed starter. Both were lovely and I have no complaints. Would I go back. Not if I was choosing. The service and food are both good for the money. Unfortunately the restaurant was not as clean as anyone would expected the floor was incredibly sticky. And the table cloth was actually dirty. Stained and covered in previous customers curry. If you can live with that then you will enjoy the food and the service is not shabby. No alcohol is served though you can however take your own.

We used to go to this restaurant quite a lot until a couple of years ago when we had booked a table for mother’s day and we walked out because we were kept wait8ng so long. This was our first first since then and we weren’t disappointed. The service @nd food were very good which has encouraged us to visit again soon.

Visited for their mid week £9 deal and it was awesome! £23 for 2x drinks, popperdoms, starters each, 2x mains, chips and rice ! Great value and good staff! One of the best in bury this one and it deserves to be! Lamb madras is gorgeous !!! Even got shots when the bill was paid !

Great food and service like always. Mid week special is a good choice. Naans are soft. Popadoms crispy. My favourite place

I went with my family, thinking we would try it due to the good reviews online and the fact it is local which is convenient with a small baby. Nobody helped me open the door as I struggled in with my pushchair. Nobody greeted me. A member of staff rushedly gestured towards where he assumed my family were waiting for me. When I reached the table, struggling to fit my pushchair in, my family weren't happy. They'd waited over ten minutes as the table was prepared, they were hardly acknowledged, the window we were seated next to was grimy with rubbish on the window sill. We sat waiting for around half an hour in total with NOBODY even acknowledging us let alone come to take our order. In the end we just decided to walk out and enjoyed a lovely meal with wonderful service 20 minutes away in Blue Tiffin, Oldham. Awful service.

Awful service, not welcoming at all. Staff were so rude as well as a very unclean place. Didn’t pay any attention to us from walking in to the point we ended up walking out. Before we walked out I made sure I let them know that the reason we are leaving is because we did not receive any service from them for 40 minutes. They were not apologetic at all. Glad we left, I would not spend a penny in such a horrible place with an awful service. Tables and windows we were sat next to were so dirty; full of webs and dust. Will never set foot in that place again, not even if someone paid me. Sort your service, your staff and hygiene out.

Family of 13 .Very busy but food lovely .Will definitely be returning .Staff very helpful and polite .Food gorgeous

The main thing that sticks out for me is the freshness of the food ..every dish we had had its own unique taste,not the "generic"curry Base with a few slight changes to make it a different dish.starters good, mains good,nann bread Fantastic..extensive menu , pleasant surroundings , Fantastic staff and the price reasonable. .there's little point in recommending a specific dish because people tastes are so different.

Came here for the mid week special. Nice as usual. Service quite slow and the waiter was chewing gum! Which is rude!!!! But food was nice and a great price

Having no idea where to go in Rochdale, we asked a taxi driver to take us to a good Indian restaurant. Great choice. Staff were friendly, food was excellent.......so much flavour. We really enjoyed our meal and couldn't believe how reasonable the prices were.

Went on a Saturday the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Gave us free popadum and sauces and the food was beautiful. They didn’t rush us and even gave us a free drink. The price was very cheap will definitely go again

Good food no gee freindly staff good price big portions free appritief doggy bag you wont eat it all in 1 go fabulous

Rang late Friday night to ask if we can have a meal, staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble even though late...meal was gorgeous and my Segwala nicest I have tasted.

Amazing food every time absolutly wonderfull staff can't wait for the next curry my husband isn't really a curry eater but if I say we will get it from hear he is always up for it xx

Had an excellent night out in Rochdale, first time I’ve been for a while, set off in Weather-spoons and a cheeky bottle of prosecco then to a gin society night at the town hall. Great night and we ended up at Richie. Brilliant staff and the food was excellent prices also they are very reasonable . It’s only the second time I’ve been but there will definitely be more visits!!

Attended this Resturant this week for the first time with friends who visit regularly. Nice small Resturant with very pleasant staff. The menu is not big but caters for a wide choice in tastes. The food is well cooked and well presented and plenty to go round if you wanted to share. I will be going back when I visit friends again. Well done everyone.

The restaurant was quite busy with a lot of takeaway business but the service was good and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal

Went with friends from work. Heard good things about here but no very impressed.

I often go here with family who were not fans of Indian food. The staff take time to explain the menu and what spices are in what dish and make suggestions. They have converted my mum to a knowledgeable Indian food lover.

Celebrating my daughter's 25th Birthday and as always brilliant meal. Starters and main perfect never disappoints 😄😄😄

Visited this place for a family meal and I've got to say the food here was absolutely first class nice friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced couldn't ask for much more definitely worth a try would recommend.

We were a mixed family party of 5 and were all looked after really well. Good quality food at a great price. Our waiter went out of his way to ensure that the two children were looked after and happy. Massive naan breads and perfect onion bhajees.

Arrived to a great hello the staff were friendly and great they could not do enough for us the food...

Never have a bad meal here, great service. Wide selection of curry. Come for the Sunday special, free baileys on the house always tops it off. Love it

A big, thank you to the Ruchi for preparing and delivering food for our daughter & new Son in laws after wedding party. The food was fantastic and so much that the guests loved it and all took some home with them. Excellent food to finish off an excellent weekend. I will certainly book them again for a party

A most enjoyable experience. Excellent choice, good value and pleasant staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. The food is as good as we've had anywhere and portion sizes are just right. Takeaway the night after was just as good (that's how much we enjoyed it!)

Sometimes it's just when I'm out with friends, not really interested in service to impress, food was good so was the service, we will be back in the near future.

Went with friends who love a curry.Had the amazing mid week deal of Poppadoms, Mixed Starter and main course for under £9.00Food was good, my curry could have been a bit hotter (spice)Drinks a little over priced.Well worth the visit. Will go back.

What a great Indian restaurant,it's over a year since we visited this restaurant.We had forgotten how good it was. We all had different starters and mains (four people) The staff could not have been nicer,and the food was excellent.The portions were very large,and three of our party were unable to eat everything.Well worth a visit

I recommend this place to anyone who likes a good meal in relaxing surroundings can't fault it on anything

Great value,free parking,very good service.The food is always tasty and hot here and very good Veggie options too.Friendly welcome and clean,modern decor.Always enjoy our meals here.

Fantastic meal staff are great I would strongly recommend the Ruchi.after the meal the manager offers guests a complimentary Bailys or a Brandy.

Went to ruchi Monday for tea, had the most delicious food and the service is excellent, been a few times and always the same, well worth a visit. The staff are so polite. What more can I say.

Visiting Rochdale to see family, was interested to see one of the pub haunts of my youth converted to a restaurant. Very clean, stylish and modern, with plenty of light.We opted for the early week special( 3 courses for £8.50) and were served poppadoms and a tray of fresh pickles etc, then a delicious mixed kebab. This was followed by a choice of curry( dopiaza in our case) and sides. All freshly cooked, hot and delicious. The service was great, and the complimentary brandy and chocolate at the end made me very happy. Will definitely be back soon.

Driven by this place so many times; it doesn't look like much from the outside but it's well worth a visit. The food was excellent, the service attentive and anywhere that offers a complimentary brandy or Bailey's after the meal is ok in my book!

Onion Bhajis- best I've had for a while. We had the Naga and Passanda- both excellent. Big portions too. Staff are really friendly and would definitely go here again.

Ordered a delivery from this restaurant for the first time at weekend, very polite and delivered as promised on time. Onion Bhaji's were lovely and fresh, crispy poppadoms with garnishing's also fresh. I had the Chicken Madras with boiled rice, the rice was slightly watery, the curry, average. My son opted for Chicken Korma which was very tasty but his chips were dire, frozen chips that tasted warmed up, hard and very dry. Lovely service but won't be returning...

Come here regular and again such a lovely meal.No rush in leaving the table, food was lovely and free glass of baileys at the end. Would recommend

Great food and fantastic service. Best curry i have ever had when out (vindaloo) down to being full of flavour and not greasy. Garlic naan and poppadom dips to die for. Polite and helpful staff

However we have being coming here for over a month now and it is the best Indian restaurant we have ever been to , the meal is a great price for absolutely exquisite the food is not cheap meat or cheap food you can tell that it is fresh and cooked to a high standard. We have never had anything wrong with our meal the service comes between 15 to 30 minutes so we know it is cooked perfectly ( which it always is ) no longer. We always enjoy the atmosphere like sometimes he does some little magic tricks for the kids and makes us and the rest laugh it is a place where they make us feel happy and we have a fantastic time there no matter what .

Just a quick review to say how lovely the food was here. I travel with work and have eaten at over 500 indians and this was right up there. As good as the top places in Manchester or rusholme. Prices were very reasonable maybe even cheap. As we left the guy even offered us a free brandy or Bailey's which was a nice touch. I was driving but my friend had a brandy and said it was a decent brandy. Will definitely return if nearby.

Visit at least once a month food excellent and so is the serviceIf it's a special occasion we usually get a free bottle of wine.Would definitely recommend this restaurant

This was our first visit here, the food was extremely nice. The staff were also very welcoming and gave us the best service you could ever wish for. We'll definitely be paying another visit soon hopefully for my birthday in December.

Came here for the first time on 6th August and the food was amazing. Portion sizes were spot on and not half size like in other Indian Restaurants. The service was great, each member of staff was polite, well manoured and couldnt do enough for you.The only downside was that it was absolutely boiling and there was just no air getting to the small area that we was in. However, this certainly didnt spoil anything and we have already arranged our 2nd visit. Thank you staff at Ruchi

Visited Ruchi once again last week. It was packed out early evening (Saturday) with only one spare table, which says something! The good wasn't quite as good as we've had previously. Not bad, but standard Indian. However, what makes this place a nice evening out is the 'Ruchi boys' whose service is excellent. They constantly check whether you want another drink, more raita, that the food's ok etc. You don't get that everywhere!

We decided to try ruchi as our normal curry house is closed for refurbishment we decided to have the midweek special and try a few things this was a big mistake the popadoms were stale and the pickle tray was bland and even had coleslaw on this very indian indeed the starter was dry and tasted of the freezer by this time we was ready to leave but was so hungry we decided to wait for the curry and again we were disappointed it was more like soup curry and both curries tasted the same we will never eat here again

Beautiful meal and excellent service would definitely be going back Sunday lunch special offer is worth it

Fancy a curry of your own style, you can request it to management and it can be tried. Ruchis biryanis and chicken tikka jalfrezis are by far the best around town. I would recommend the naga biryani with jalfrezi sauce. Good location and top staff.

We love it at Ruchi we always go on A sunday or a weeknight and have the £8.95 menu amazing value. We have the popadoms and chutney, followed by a massive mix starter including lots of Chicken, nice Pakoras and excellent Onion Bhajis. Any curry on the menu rice and nan's. Everytime we have visited it has been consistently good. The staff greet you like old friends and we have always been given a complimentary brandy or baileys and soft drink for my son at the end of the meal. Excellent food at excellent prices Give it a go you wont be disappointed.

Hard to fault in anyway got to be honest and say we've tried other Asian resteraunt sin the area over the last few months and we keep going back here would definately recommend this to anyone wanting a great meal at a fair price 1st class

Family and friends celebrating Dinah's 70th birfday. All 18 of us said how much we enjoyed the various dishes, saying how tasty they were. Our age range was from 71 down to 9 months. (Yes even the baby had some rice.)We have been coming since 2008, which is why we chose here for the Party. The service is excellent, and the staff welcoming !We usually visit once a month and highly recommend a visit.

We go here regular the food is very good and the staff are very pleasant and efficient love it. I recommend the balti and the sweet naan is amazing. They also do a good bottle of pino and it is very reasonably priced. They accommodate your needs as well I am allergic to tomatoes and they Always accommodate us. They also do a special on mon to Thursday which is really good value.

Everything about Ruchi was great! The manager was polite and helpful, when asking about the different dishes. He also gave us free Baileys in the spirit of christmas

I have been going to Ruchi since it opened and it's a family favourite but tonight I had takeaway delivered from there for a change and I was nothing short of amazed, food arrived when promised, was piping hot and tasted great for a very reasonable price.Keep up the good work guys.

I would list this restaurant in the top 5 restaurants of Greater ManchesterThe food is always spot on here, there is a huge variety of starters and main dishes. If you want to order something that is not on the menu, you can suggest it and in most cases they will make it for you. I would go there everyday, the staff are very well mannered and look after you really well. Food comes out in good time and the price is really good.

I was dragged back here by members of my family who don't know better.Anyway, I ordered the Bengal Pilau Biryani & a Peshwari Nan.The Biryani was supposed to be cooked with Chilli's & Peppers, It wasn't.It was supposed to be warm when it arrived, It wasn't.It tasted like a cheap chicken fried rice from a takeaway, It wasn't supposed to & I'm positive the accompanying Vegetable curry was unbranded, canned potato stew.It wasn't a total disaster as the Nan was lovely.People who heartily recommend this restaurant are either Very Drunk or Don't get out much.Go somewhere else.

You never fail to have a good curry here. It is Amzing as is the staff! I love the chicken tikka and korma mmmmm amazing!!!!! Please visit. You won't be disappointed!

My wife and her sister and nephew and niece and myself visited this restaurant we were greeted at the door shown our table the staff are very pleasant and very friendly the food is to die for and they could not do enough for us definitely we will return excellent service and food

Seven of us went to Ruchi tonight,we got fab service. They asked if everything was OK then they didn't pester us. We was all really pleased with our order and 4 of us said it was the nicest korma we had ever tasted. The men was happy with their meals to. We was all ready to pop. We are definitely going again 100 out of 100

Came here as a surprise birthday meal for my best friend.Everyone so helpful and welcoming. Food delicious as always. Regular order delivery aswell

Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing and such good price and the staff are so lovely and welcoming and always remember you when return, definitely recommend :-)

Myself and my husband went out for an evening meal today with our daughter and gran daughter. We where greeted at the door and seated straight away. The waiting on staff where very friendly and even took the time to show our granddaughter how to fold the napkins into francy displays. The room was well lit and warm, very clean. The choice was plentiful and the offer of four courses for under nine pound each half price for children a real bargain. The quality and standard of food second to none definitely worth a visit to one of our favour restaurant s.

I Was visiting my family in Rochdale from France, a country not known for their curries and am really picky where I get curry when I am in the UK as it is like gold to me. I was not dissappointed in the Ruchi the food was excellent and I had had a delivery from them earlier in my stay. the restaurant is modern and tastefully decorated, a really good use of an old pub. The icing on the cake was the excellent service. The waiting staff are friendly but not pushy so you feel very welcome and also cared for. I was meeting a friend I hadnt seen in over 35 years and the young man looking after us was thoughtful and patient as we dithered and prevaricated often forgeting to order at all. A truly lovely experience.

I've always had good things to say about this restaurant. Following my recent visit I have to say that things must improve in the following areas;Better consideration, service and menu for vegetarian customers.Better management of service, especially quality control of what is leaving the kitchen.Better balance between restaurant service and take away service.On this occasion I was disappointed with my food. Service was hit and miss due to high level of custom - in restaurant and take away customers. We usually overlook the scruffy debris-littered pavement and general restaurant outdoor environment but maybe this needs looking at if you want to attract the right kind of customer. It's known as self-respect. It might also be worth having separate management of the take away service as this was definitely dominating proceedings on this visit. Not sure whether we can ever visit again.

Visited this evening with mum and sister, delicious food, lovely atmosphere and the service..as always was excellent.

Visited with my sister, delicious food, very pleasant atmosphereand excellent service. An enjoyable evening, will definitely visit again and would highly recommend.

Excellent food great customer service will definatley go back. Even though they where very busy the customers were all well looked after . Would recommend to everyone

Our son asked to go here for his last meal out before Uni, having been once before with his friends - it was definitely a good call.The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in.The food was outstanding. The menu states that if you don't see something on there that you want, to just ask them and they "may make your day" - we did and they delivered. The meal was the right balance of taste and spice and they packed up our leftovers to bring home (curry for breakfast this morning :D )We had a great evening, with really tasty food & drinks and the bill didn't break the bank either - we will be going back here.

Eaten in the restaurant which was acceptable but nothing special. Had a couple of takeaways very recently. The first one was far better than the "in house" offering and thus prompted a repeat order the following weekend. Unfortunately, this was not to the same standard as the previous week. The sauces with each dish were watery and lacking in taste and texture. The nan bread was doughy and undercooked as was the Chapatti, reminiscent of shop bought product and heated under a grill. To summarise: no consistency Will not be using this restaurant again anytime soon.

Have been here many times which says a lot as I don't revisit places that rip you off. Welcome is always brilliant - staff genuinely remember you and always make you feel appreciated as a customer. The special deal is amazing value - sometimes too much to handle !! Popadoms, selection of starters, curries done to taste ( eg jalfrezi slightly hotter than normal or with Naga pickle), Nan' s, selection of rice's, few Cobra's and complimentary short always much better value than elsewhere local. Excellent place for good, spicy Indian food at a great price with first class service always.

Absolutely beautiful food, staff were so friendly couldn't do enough for us not expensive great atmosphere had a fabulous night can't wait to do it again

Wonderful food and very friendly staff. First time i have been and will definitely be visiting again

It's the first time we'd been here, and we look forward to returning. Pro's: friendly, interested staff; delicious food; draught lager at reasonable prices; great value especially the four courses for 8.95; large portions and a doggy bag for what we could not eat; nice decor and atmosphere. Con's: umm ... I can't think of any! There were several regulars in, ( the waiters obviously knew them well) and that's as good a recommendation as any.

We had a meal for 2 ordered poppadoms the onions they were ok, main meals 1 Chicken Rogan Josh, 1 Chicken sagwalla they both tasted the same liky vegatable lcurry sauce no spice at all the chicken was processed chicken. People who eat here have never tasted a good indian. No wonder its so cheap you get what you pay for i wouldnt go here again if ut was free!! Total let down.

Food was fine had dodge bag . Shame about staff , waiter shook hands on arrival then wiped his nose on hand at some time as taking orders. But as he wants cooking thought would be ok , next day had blocked nose /sore throat ! Coincide ?

I've been eating here for a couple of years and have recommended it to family and friends. The restaurant is clean with pleasant decor and ambience. The food is just on the better side of ok but good value for money. At one time I would have raved about it. On a recent visit I felt that standards of customer service had slipped a bit and there was a long wait for food despite the place being only averagely busy. I hope that standards are not slipping so I would suggest that management ensure that a high level of customer service is maintained - a friendly reception and attentive service are the very least that can be expected.

I came to Ruchi for the second time on Tuesday with my partner and we were made very welcome. The staff are so pleasant and the food was lovely (big potions) great offer 3 course deal we had to take some home in a doggy bag :p the restaurant is clean and has a nice atmosphere. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice Indian meal

Once again an amazing visit to ashokaThe specials menu is one of the best around £8.95 and you getPoppadoms and pickle trayA mixed starterAny curry -amazing choiceAny side Usually a free baileys, brandy it whatever you fancy at the end of the meal.The staff are amazing, the atmosphere is great!They always always make us feel welcomeBack again on monday with the girls..cant wait!!!

Just been with my partner for a meal at Ruchi ,food fantastic,staff very pleasant,complimentary poppadoms and drink..portions of food more than enough,every customer that left took a doggy bag home with them due to the large amounts of food..will be making it my regular place to eat..

Once again a excellent curry. We always have the midweek special, great value for the money and very generous portions. The food is delicious and the service brilliant. Would recommend this to everyone who loves a great curry.

Me and my partner came here for the 1st time, it was very clean and nicely presented. Lovely warm welcome, staff very helpful, the food was lovely, plenty of it, great value for the size of the portions. We will definitely be back again soon, and would recommend to everybody. Very happy overall

I ate here recently for the second time. The first time I went with my Mum and Step Dad who go quite often, the staff were unbelievably friendly and welcoming, but I just assumed it was because they know my Mum and Step Dad. The second visit was with my partner who had never been before, but yet again the staff were welcoming and enthusiastic. On both occasions the food has been amazing. I have been to India (where I had the best food I've ever eaten) and Ruchi is the closest to the real deal I've been able to find. The prices are very very good, the first meal, for 3 including starters and drinks and sides came to £46. The second time for 2 it came to £26. We were also offered a free baileys at the end of the meal, which I had to decline as I was too full, on both visits I left with a doggy bag as you get so much, I could only eat half, but they are more than happy to pack it up for you to take home.The building is an ex pub, but they've done well to decorate the interior and its a great lay out, its quite bit, but split in to 3 rooms to give it a more cosy feeling. They also have screens showing bollywood films, but the music they play isn't Indian, mostly popular chart stuff, but it was a good volume.

The restaurant was highly recommended to us by good friends and didn't disappoint. There was a relaxing atmosphere and the service was both efficient and friendly. The food was delicious and very cheap, definitely value for money. Would recommend and will return again!

We go to Ruchi on a regular basis and the £8.95 three course meal deal is fantastic. Brilliant warm poppadoms and pickle tray and a starter of tikka chicken and onion bhajis. Then a curry of what ever choice you fancy. All tastes great and a nice glass of baileys on the house at the end. Best curry in Rochdale, only bad points are the decor inside, touch of paint and this place would be 10/10

We came here when this placed first opened but having not been for severel years we thought we would come back. We were not dissapointed, the food was just has good if not better and the service was excellent. The portions are ample and they offer to wrap them up if you wish to take anything home you don't eat which I thought was good because some diners don't always like to ask. I won't be leaving it so long before I return.Keep up the good work.

Cannot find much to say from a positive point of view.The ambience of the place was ok.The food was disappointing - very oily curry.The service was a bit slow and overall the meal was not worth the cost.Would not revisit.Very disappointing as from the outside it looks 'one to try' but there is much better in the area.

Ruchi staff are all very friendly and so attentative from entering until leaving. The service is really quick. The food is always fresh and well cooked. Food is hot and tastes delicious! They will do anything to help around the menu and explain what ingredients are used. The prices are really reasonable and they do an early bird menu too. Everyone is given a free drink after the meal and you are always sent on your way with warm greetings. Love going here whether for an intimate couple meal or a group with friends.

Went here with 4 work colleagues for a birthday celebration.From the moment we enter the restaurant the service from the staff was excellent if i could rate it more i would. All 5 of use had main meals and 3 of us has starters and I can not praise the quality of the food any more it was exceptional.The cost was extremely reasonable to the point were we asked them to check the bill as we thought that they had missed something off it as it was that cheapAnd as a great end to the night they asked us if we wanted a drink on the house and gave the birthday girl a bottle of wineAll in all 10 out of 10 this place cant be beat we will definitely be back

Had a lovely meal at ruchi tonight . The food and service were excellent. We had the special menu would recommend its excellent value for money

Came here on a "date night" with my fella, service was fantastic. Brilliant offer in the week for £8.95 which I was really impressed with and we had far too much left so brought it home.The waiters were very warm and welcomming.
