Always a warm welcome, prompt service and a good selection of tasty dishes. I've eaten here many, many times in the past 30 years and tonight's meal was as good as ever, as was the service and atmosphere. Nice new decor since I last visited (I now live too far away to visit frequently) and nice, mellow background music.

First visit here and recieved a very warm welcome. The restaurant has a lovely feel with a calm but good atmosphere. Uncomplicated menu, attentive service and absolutely delicious food served piping hot. Apparently the chef has been with them for a number of years and this showed in the quality of the dishes. Couldn't fault it. Will definitely be returning.!

Ordered through Uber Eats but food was very late. It was stone cold. I rang the restaurant as directed by the app and I was astounded my the rudeness of the manager or owner. He said 'if you don't like our food, go somewhere else!' I could not believe it as I have been using them for 20 years ! They have gone badly downhill. My advice, go somewhere else ! A restaurant that cares ..... I will certainly never go back to the delivery or restaurant again.

Quite possibly one of the best takeaway and restaurant we have been to. It’s hard to find an Indian restaurant that have a one time paper as a menu! Very modern style .

Takes a while, but when the food arrives, awesome. EDIT: last order saw a big dip in quality. Curry was oily, ordered two naan breads, one was barely cooked at all and the other was so old it was closer to leather than bread.

Old school British Indian cuisine with a few modern additions. Run by a local family, the place is well known in the area. Lovely space out front to sit and drink/smoke/wait. Wonderful artwork to the side of the building opposite the station. Separate takeaway so you don't have to traipse through the restaurant to collect your food. A little away from the main road but perfect if you're coming in via earlswood station nearby.

I recently ordered food from here. The food tasted horrible. Biriyani was nothing like biriyani nor it tasted like Pulao. Side dish they sent as Salan was Aloo Matar which had no salt and it was full of oil. Would never recommend Ruchita to anyone. Fooling people and luring money from them.

Service and courtesy was spot on. Table for 2 people was available almost straight away. Called them in advance though. They don't do sweet of qulfee in take away or delivery. And we love the qulfee. Naan were warm and noice. Bit burnt under it. But in taste we didn't notice. Spice level was bit medium. So we asked to spice it up. They added green chilli whole. Raita was really good. Tasted like home made natural yoghurt. Pistachio qulfee was amazing. Mango was okish. coffee was Good. Good experience. Good food . Amazing service.

We booked RUCHITA for a small new year celebration gathering with friends and family and I must say it was BRILLIANT. Every single food item we tried was absolutely delicious and they went over and beyond with the hospitality. All our friends loved the atmosphere at the restaurant and the friendliness of the staff members. Even in the winter they had adequate heating facility in the front garden which was really convenient. As the restaurant was right next to Earlswood Station it was really convenient for some of us to travel to.

Its a good Indian restaurant. They have all popular Indian dishes like Tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, chana masala etc. A lot of gravy options available. The food is made to suit non-Indian palate.. so if you are an Indian you will find it sweet and not spicy at all but the food is good. You won't complain, the gravies are nice. Food was served hot and fresh. They have few Indianised cocktails, beers and other spirits. The staff is friendly and polite. They have good i door and outdoor seating area. The washrooms are very neat and clean. Overall a good experience. Thank you!

Thank you Rucheta for over 20 years of great food. However, since the original owner, Ali, passed away last year, the food has gone massively downhill. I used to order at least once a week. Very hit and miss re quality and flavour over past year. Absolutely no consistency when ordering the same chicken madras. Too weak, too thick, blows your head off, far too salty or solid overcooked chicken. Such a shame. My last order was last week. So salty it was uneatable. I called Rucheta and then sent them photo of my uneaten takeaway as requested. Even though I had already spoken over the phone outlining the problems, they asked me again what was wrong with it once I sent the photo and text message. I politely replied and they read the message yet they failed to respond. Like I said, over 20 years of me being a loyal customer and I feel very let down. Such a shame. I believe the deceased owner, Ali, was a tough boss. Whatever the case, he made the Rucheta what it was which was a great restaurant. Note to the current owner: make changes where needed, retain good chefs and take a leaf out of Ali’s legacy!!

Oh dear. This was not good. Why have all the curry houses around here gone so complacent lately. Was told to try this Ruchita in earlswood well what a waste of £60. Poor poor main meals. Where do I start. Prawn korma watery. Prawns overcooked. Lamb tikka curry. like slices of dry brisket so tough and dry. And chewy. Chicken madras watery. Only good thing was onion Bahji. And keema Nan and rice. So so disappointed And I was recommended. As having clients round for a meal and kushboo my local curry house has declined so much. Oh well onto the next option. Anyone got any recommendations on the best curry house in my rh6 area. Sorry guys. Not returning here

Best Indian food and service . The two waitresses are so attentive and make you feel very welcome . Food is delicious and much cheaper than other Indian restaurants and the quality of food is spot on . Booking in advance is a must as We couldn’t get a table set night as we left it to late . Wish we had ordered a takeaway instead of going to another Indian restaurant and was totally let down with the food and service . Ruchita is by far the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to .

Had a great curry here tonight, really nice food, service was quick but impersonal. However......unfortunately Ruchita has lost it's sparkle and personal touches since the previous owner sadly passed away. The manager tonight seemed rude and argumentative for no real reason. No tablecloths, no plate warmers, no one opened the door on entering or leaving, very few customers in and some really mixed reviews on here. Not the same old Ruchitas. 5 stars for food and waitresses, 4 stars for overall experience. Won't be rushing back!

I've been using Ruchita's for almost 25 years... and the food has always been consistently good with the same authentic flavours. And then in late 2021 it seemed to 'change'... not in a terrible way and the food was still pleasant enough, but the flavours were just... different. As a long-time customer it was instantly noticeable, but when challenging the employee on the front-desk I was advised there was a temporary substitute with their Tandoori chief BUT 'no change' to the food and recipe. Hmm, not sure. Jubee was always front of house, and I don't see him anymore and all the other familiar faces have gone... perhaps they've all moved on. A real shame... for the first time in 25 years, I'm going to try an Indian from elsewhere in the hope that I can replicate the old Ruchita flavours someplace else.

The venue was vibrant and busy , however the food was not great The curry sauces just plain bland . No flavour. Mixed grill was okay but we had given a leg of chicken like a big piece with not much meat on there usually mix grills are small pieces . There was no green chutney to have with my food They provided dips with popadoms ( dips you pay extra) If you prefer plain curry then this is okay for taste buds

I ordered king prawn masala and only king prawns came out, so I asked for the madras sauce and I didn’t mind mixing it together. When the bill arrived they charged me for the £11 king prawns and the £4 madras. The king prawn madras I asked for was £10. The waitress admitted it was her mistake but still didn't deduct it from the bill. Very disappointed with the costumer service. :(

Chicken Time is an average spot if you're in the mood for a quick meal. I tried their peri peri rice, and it was decent, it didn't stand out much in terms of flavor, the chicken is alright ,not good or bad. The portions are so small and also they charge way more than other shops, the pricing in this shop needs to be reconsidered, £2.50 for a small bottle of Coke ??? , you can get one cheaper outside in a corner shop or somewhere. The service is mediocre, the staff really needs to be trained in customer service, like it's not welcoming at all, you get a feeling of not being welcome but I have to admit the wait times are really low which is good compared to other surrounding chicken shops. Overall, it's okay for a quick bite, but there are better options out there if you're looking for something more welcoming, better while being cheaper
