Ruchie Indian Restaurant in Lichfield

In these difficult times we thought we would treat ourselves to a takeaway. We had been told that the Lal Bagh was very good but as we didn't know the town too well we asked a local where it was. They told us that Lal Bagh was a bit of a walk from where we had parked and that the Indian Village was just around the corner and they said it was also good, sadly the meal was very disappointing. The mains and the rice were far too salty to a point where you could barely taste the flavours, both the mains were very thin, very similar base and taste. On a plus side the chicken pieces, although small, were of good quality. Considering it was £34 for two mains, two rice and one nan bread, they hadn't even included a couple of complimentary poppadums' or salad, which we always receive in all the 'other' Indian restaurants we use. Sadly we won't be returning but will definitely try Lal Bagh next time.

We got food from Ivory Tusk on a weekday night and it was spot on. We phoned ahead with our order and received good service on the phone. Parking is a bit tricky, but we managed ok. We went into the restaurant and were greeted by the staff, who asked us to sit in their waiting area. We paid and within a few mins they brought our food out. It was hot, the portions were generous and it tasted good. We will use them again.

A decent curry house which isn't that expensive, compared to neighbouring Indian restaurant. I recommend the Chicken Saag and Chicken Tiklka Jalfrezi for mains and Onion Bhaji and Chicken Chaat for starters. Very friendly.

It was really busy tonight both with takeaway orders and people dining in the restaurant. The service was slower because of this and some people were not happy. We could see that the staff were working hard and were in no hurry so didn't mind. When the food arrived it was excellent, sometimes the quality can suffer at busy times but it didn't tonight. Well done to all concerned on a very challenging evening.

We popped in here for a take away whist visiting on our boat. The food was excellent, good sized portions and very tasty. We even got free popadoms & sauce. Sorry no photos we were hungry 😊 definitely recommend also value for money and great staff
