Ruchie

Three of us went for lunch on Easter Sunday and the food and service was great.

4th visit each time with different guests. Fantastic restaurant. Friendly and attentive staff. Lovely atmosphere and amazing food. It’s a 50 mile round trip however it’s so worth it and I’ll be back again soon.

Lovely meal and atmosphere Staff very friendly, will visit again

Lovely place 2nd time we have visited, definitely be back

A fantastic experience. Great food, Great service. The Best South-Indian restaurant around!!

Awful, no flavour, stale food and bad experience. They did not seem overly bothered that we left after our starters either.

Great food, well prepared and presented. Staff very attentive and efficient.

first time since location changed to Ruchie. We will be back

Good food;good service.Willvisit again.Ambience good.Can improve dessert menu.Front of house good.

Food very tasty and service excellent. Definately worth a visit.

Repeat visit and will definitely go again. Good food and value for money.

I have to say the food and friendliness of the staff were very good.....but waiting times was not the best unfortunately it was a good 10 minutes before we had a drinks order taken. Food was lovely though and everyone was friendly...hopefully go back and see an improvement in service

Food brilliant as always - took people who had never been before & they were very impressed! We had to ask for our order to be taken, as we had been waiting a while & no one had been over to take it - but once taken the service was fine, also polite & friendly

Staff were very friendly, food was really tasty and different. Service was a bit disjointed at times

Great service and delicious food in a relaxing environment at a good price. What’s not to like?

Ruchie is a gem in the heart of Shirley. We have been three times and the food, service and atmosphere are top-notch. Every dish is served with care and flair. The service is attentive and unobtrusive. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room. Ruchie is well worth a visit, whether you live locally or further afield. We highly recommend!

Staff were nice enough but nothing like normal Indian restaurant dips aren’t nice and food was too spicy even tho we ordered butter chicken and korma

first time visit, very impressed with the food and the staff.

As a group of friends who havent seen each other in a while, we had a lovely evening. Food was yummy, lovely atmosphere and service was great- very attentive. Thank you

We arrived a bit late, but we were seated promptly. Food was delicious. Typical South Indian food. Loved it.

This is the second time I’ve visited with my daughters and this is fast becoming our favourite Indian restaurant. The Pepper Chicken was spicy but very tasty. We will be back!

Superb service and great food as always. Would highly recommend.

Nice restaurant in Shirley - nice atmosphere and food was very nice.-

Enjoyable visit, good food, friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

Lovely food, a bit strange that they “don’t do anything with mushrooms “! Nice staff - the waitress in particular was excellent. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Great food with good choice of cocktails, but slow service. Will be back as we enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Nice addition to Shirley for a local curry.

Great service, lovely authentic Indian food - its not the standard tikka massala/madras/bhuna/pathia list on the menu - and decent prices. We've been a few times and always have a good experience. Decor is improving as the owners settle in and continue to invest. The front door closer needs adjusting as it doesn't always close the door fully, letting a draught in - staff are quick to respond and close it, but this is a distraction for the staff and affects anyone sitting near the front door. A few minutes with a screwdriver should sort the issue out. We visited on Valentines evening and it wasn't full - I think there could be a case for a more eye catching window or signage, to help draw people in? Some social media presence may also help - its also free? Overall, a very nice

Very quiet Wednesday evening. Good, friendly service by attentive staff was complimented by the excellent South Indian food. Good value for money, will certainly visit again.

Masala Dosas we shared as starters were superb. Two of the four of us thought the main courses were a bit bland - more spices?

Very tasty food, staff very friendly. seems like a nice family business, nice decor and surroundings. Good variety of drinks and lots of starters to try

Great food and service Great location Wine is always right temperature and reasonably priced Portions are generous size and you can tell are freshly cooked

Delicious food with friendly, attentive staff. Not bad on price for a more high end curry place. Great addition to Shirley and will visit again.

The restaurant has nice surroundings, the food was nice and the waiters was good but we had to wait ages for the food to come out

Last night my husband & I took family (who were visiting us) to enjoy the delicious food that 'Ruchie' always serves. The welcome was warm, the service great & the food was so tasty! Thanks again to everyone at Ruchie. Best wishes Loraine & Kevin

Great Indian restaurant. Delicious food, good choice of beer and wine. Friendly staff. Will definitely 're visit to try more of the menu! Worth a visit for sure.

Lovely food which is well cooked and well presented. Real Indian food styled on the South of India. Good Service and well worth a visit.

A lovely place, we ate downstairs and the staff were very welcoming. The meals were brought out quickly and they tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again soon.

This was my second visit to Ruchie as I first visited the restaurant in its first week of opening and they have really got their rhythm of service going. The dishes are unfamiliar and exciting and freshly prepared. Great that the staff/owner is on hand to assist with dishes and personally checking that everything is ok. Will definitely be back, recommend booking as 7pm on Friday 4th January the restaurant was busy, great to see in a local independent restaurant. Can’t wait to return.

A lovely ambience to the restaurant and very friendly attentive staff. The food was tasty and more traditional than the usual Indian restaurant. Portion size was good also.

Had a new years day lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids, felt very welcome. Service was just right attentive, not too hurried or too slow. We enjoyed the food, very tasty starters and main courses. Would definitely come back.

Very tasty lovely and enjoyable. Not large quantity but it was enough as we are not big eaters. I would recommend Ruchie to others, which we have already.

Always lovely food and staff look after you and i think good value for money . The menu is not something you will find in many places , so for a great change , try here .

Another great meal, lovely way to start the new year. Atmosphere was as always relaxed the staff were friendly as they normally are. Looking forward to visiting during 2019

Putting it simply...Service was excellent, food was better. If you haven't being here before, then give it a try it gets busy so you might need to book a table.

Lovely food at very reasonable prices - the dosas in particular are delicious. What's more, they have the friendliest and most accommodating staff I've come across! Very pleasant place to eat.

Excellent food. Slightly different from other restaurants and lots of choice for every taste. Staff are very friendly and attentive, definetly worth a visit ( or two)..

Excellent food. Service not as good as first time I went. The heating needed to be turned on as it was quite chilly in restaurant.

Lovely atmosphere in a quaint restaurant. Friendly attentative staff and the food was amazing. Excellent choice of food on the menu, excellent service, not rushed, very relaxed. Highly recommend.

On 6th December I took 4 friends who had not eaten at Ruchie before though 2 of them had heard about how good the food was from other friends. They were all delighted not only with the food but also the ambiance, welcome & service from Thanuja & all the staff. Thank you again. Delicious food & lovely friendly welcome. Best wishes. Loraine

Nice food and friendly staff. We were seated by the front door and it was draughty on regular occasions as customers arrived and left. Put a lobby in!
