My family ordered our usual vegetarian takeout. After eating about half our meal, we discovered meat all in the bottom of it! Similar to many Indians, it goes against our belief system to eat meat. It was very traumatic for us all. I called to speak to the manager multiple times, and he would never come to the phones. At the very least, we should've been refunded. We've supported Ruchi for many years. I'm very disappointed in their management. We have not been back since.

Came with some family members for my birthday, and as we pulled up, saw someone lock the door, and run to the back. I even made eye contact with the person inside when he came out to grab something. When I called, no one answered. The hours on the door, the website and their Facebook all said that they were open. I haven't been back since and don't plan on returning. I make the drive from Decatur JUST to eat here and it's usually worth it, but if that's how I'm gonna be treated, they can forget about my business. Go to the Indian Kitchen. They're cheaper and a lot nicer.

It's the best Indian food in Alabama. All other Indian establishments are a distant second in my humble opinion.The service is warm, friendly,efficient and knowledgeable. The order was taken promptly and during our meal our glasses never went below half.It makes the experience special when the staff is attentive and the meal is paced correctly.THE FOOD:The spice quotient on every dish was perfect,as requested.Dinner started with veggie samosas($4.99) hot from the fryer The tamarind and the corriander dipping sauces was a nice finish.The Chicken 65 ($9.99) was bite size morsels of chicken in a cayenne spicey sauce. This appetizer was the star of the mealTHE ENTREESThe Lamb Rogan Josh($15.99)and the vegetarian Navratan Korma dishes were deftly prepared and oh so good and satisfyingThe Buttered Naan ($3.99) and the Garlic Naan ($4.49) were a excellent accompanimentto our two entrees.The portions are large,so expectto bring home lots of food for the next day.A great restaurant an a great dining experieces from RuchiOn Memorial Parkway.

We finally tried this place in the old Beauregard's location on South parkway. The chicken biryani and chicken tikka masala were excellent. We ordered "medium" spice and they had a little "pop" to them afa spicyness if you know what I mean. The garlic naan was puffy and soft. Really good! One thing we appreciated was the generous helpings. Very nice surprise to receive big helpings of food these days. We'll be back to try other menu items!

Ruchi … let’s begin with the food. Everything is so delicious and fresh. Never had an off-day here so whatever the Chef is doing … it’s amazing. Next, I love to bring or introduce people to Ruchi. The wait staff is fantastic and the owner is friendly. One time, I accidentally spilled my “doggie bag” take home container. The Chef took it upon himself to immediately make up a portion for me to take home. I can’t tell you how happy I was because I really looking forward to day two. I love this place and the people here.

I tore into my delicious naan before I started eating my butter chicken. Sadly two bites in, I felt incredibly unwell. I have a pretty serious nut allergy. I was itching, mouth & throat were swelling and vomiting as I called Ruchi. The gentleman who answered said if the curry was red it wouldn’t have nuts but he’d check. I was placed on hold. He then said no one else has complained so I asked to check into the spices used. He placed me on hold again and when he answered he said he was told by the owner not to tell me anything but he spoke to the chef and the chef adds cashews. That’s very dangerous and frankly shady as heck. If you’re going to alter butter chicken note the ingredient change in the menu descriptions. If it had been a pistachio I’d go into shock in less than 2 minutes.

I'm not gonna lie, my first experience left me with a bitter taste. The service was not the best. I actually informed the gentleman behind the counter that his attitude just lost him a customer and I immediately lost my appetite. On the way home the aroma was so enticing that I started to get hungry again. I got home and ate everything, it was sooooooo good. I have always rejected bad service but in this instance I was willing to overlook the customer service experience because the food was just that good. I eat there regularly now and if you haven't tried it yet you have no idea what you're missing.

By far the best Indian food in HSV! We are so thankful to have found this gem. The food is delicious!! The portion sizes were huge and we took it home for dinner the next night which is always nice. As a vegetarian married to a meat eater, it is often super challenging to find a restaurant we both enjoy but we didn't have this challenge at Ruchi as there were plenty of vegetarian and non-veg options. We both walked out feeling happy and satisfied. Our waitress was very sweet, too. We will definitely be back!

Very good food but very poor service. Ambience is not great, prices are okay. Nice looking bar but no liquor license. Bill comes with a “suggested” tip amount that goes from 18% to 25%.

10/10 going back again. Delicious, amazing you get it.. Our waiter Dave awesome. Can't say enough about this place.
This is quite frankly the BEST Indian restaurant in all of Alabama! Our waiter was amazing and so nice! The food here is to die for! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for anyone and everyone!

Food was good but not the best in town. Atmosphere and service need a bit of smoothing out. Good food for the money - you will not walk away hungry and probably have leftovers. They do have a 96 on their health score!!!

I had a really rough experience at this restaurant after it was one of my best in Huntsville AL, once me and my family walked through the door no one acknowledged us for almost 15 minutes, after that we got seated and left there for another 20 minute to be asked if we need any drinks, that server with mo hawk hair cut who came to us to get us some drink took our drink order and left us there for another 10 minutes and went to other customers who came way after us and got them a drink and took their food order. I was really in a big shock when he came after and brought our drink order and got us all water and ignored everything we ordered, we told him this is not what we ordered he ignored and went to seat the waiting customers in front of the door and got them a drink and took their order, 40 minutes and we still did not get our order taken. I am sorry that place got to that bad service level after it was one of the good restaurants. Good luck to the owner but i don’t think he will stay in business for long with such this crew.

Since moving to its new location on S Memorial, Ruchi’s food has much improved! They have an extensive menu of classic favorites along with South Indian and Indo Chinese specialties. I recommend trying the Chicken 65 above anything. I look forward to many more visits to try all they have to offer!
