Ruchie in Solihull

I had a absolutely amazing food and the service was amazing top service excellent food

visited today after booking early but the food took a long time to come and wasnt as good as last time

We've been here twice now. The first time, we tried dosa, appam, mutton chukka, and vegetable kurma. Dosa was average, chukka was excellent, appam and curry was good. The second time, we were a group of 11, including children. The waiting time was just too much! Starters took about 45 minutes to come and the mains another 30 minutes. Food was very average and almost everything lacking salt. The waiter was a nice person, he apologised for the delay and said it was caused by something chef-availability related. We understand that delays can happen, but this could've been told to us before as we had made a booking beforehand since we were a big group. The kids were getting really restless and even slept off. Would be appreciated if they kept up the food standards and also be more efficient with managing the crowd.

Had weekend meals, it was heavenly. It's a pure Andhra meals. parotta was fluffy and too good not a readymade.

Phenomenal food, we always try to visit a South Indian restaurant if we find one, and Ruchie was exactly right. They don’t shy away from spice (2 chillies marks on the menu giving a decent kick) and all sauces and sides were excellent. Service very attentive as well, they do prefer cash which can get you a bit of a goodwill gesture.

Aquí encontrará auténtica cocina del sur de la India, así como su comida habitual: platos indios británicos. Refrescantemente diferente y muy, muy sabroso. Incluso algunos desiertos indios del sur. Personal encantador, aunque un poco desorganizado. Mi único agarre - el lugar era demasiado frío. Por favor, asegúrese de que su restaurante está caliente - para el servicio.

5/5! Best Panner Dosa I have had. Always purchase one. Full of flavour

Authentic south India food. We tried thali which was 10/10 so much variety and yet everything was so delicious.

so good I tried it and can't stop going there

La comida es absolutamente fantástico! ¡Todo! Personal amable y es refrescante que no se hace como el Taj Mahal. ¡Excelente!

Lately, we have been to this restaurant. The ambience and service were too good. But the food couldn't meet our expectations. We ordered Hyderabadi chicken biriyani and it was average. Paratta was good but the curry we ordered along with it (Chicken chettinadu) was too disappointing!!

Was looking forward to eating here as from the outside it looked very smart. Sadly after my experience I was let down. Walked in and was seated quickly but thats the only thing that was quick all night. The popadoms were okay but again took a long time to come out. Lacked traditional options of most curry houses but found a lamb spinach which I presumed would be similar to a sagwala - Was very bland and led to an upset stomach the following day.

Íbamos al Billesley Rock Club así que queríamos comer primero. Sin conocer la zona, nuestro amigo reservó una mesa. Finalmente se encontró un lugar para aparcar y al acercarse al exterior del restaurante parecía un poco tatty. El interior era un poco mejor, pero es bastante básico. La comida estaba bien. Mi marido y yo comimos pollo biryani. Había una porción muy generosa de arroz y un pequeño plato de "salsa" y plato de yogur. Era bastante picante para un biryani. El pollo era agradable, pero no me comí todo el arroz. ¿Quizás un poco menos de arroz y un poco más de "salsa"? Subí al baño (no hay baño abajo, así que ten cuidado si no eres bueno con las escaleras. Los baños eran asquerosos. Muy sabroso y sucio con los cubos rebosantes (fuimos a las 7 así que no exactamente al final de la noche) . El secador de manos no funcionó, así que había un rollo de papel azul que estaba empapado como estaba justo al lado del fregadero. El precio es razonable, pero este lugar realmente podría hacer con un cambio de imagen y una buena limpieza por dentro y por fuera. La señora que tomó nuestras órdenes era encantadora. Qué lástima que la grosería y la bobería defrauden este lugar. La comida está bien, no es la peor que he tenido, tal vez 6 / 10. No volveríamos

Visited here for an unplanned dinner and the staff were very accommodating. Service was pleasant and friendly. Food was nice. Naans seemed a little dry and lukewarm. Staff seemed in a rush to send the mains in before we had finished the mains. Atmosphere would have been better with background music. Overall decent enough but room for improvement.

I went for Chicken Chettinaad but was totally disappointed..but I loved the tandoori chicken and my son loved the mango lassi..we also had masala dosa which was good.. Things that they need to improve.. 1. Chicken Chettinaad( either make it authentic or remove it from the menu..pls don't put tomato paste in Chettinaad/ find the original recipe at least.) 2. Service( Shortage of staff is an issue, but the guys who were there were trying their best) 3. They need to keep more drink options especially beer..only small bottles available that too pricey.. What they need not improve:- 1. Tandoori chicken(best in town) 2. Dosa 3. Hospitality

Wonderful , modern, authentic South Indian restaurant in the heart of Solihull. Gem of a find for us, friends and family from Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Punjab. Food we relished from our 2 year old to 75 year old , all hoping to be here again :) wonderful service on a Sunday evening, thanks for making our meal a special one. Dishes we fell in love with- mushroom pepper fry, chicken Kerala style curry, hyderabadi biryani and Kerala parotta:!! If you’re looking for a fantastic meal as a foodie, regardless of where you’re from, this is a must try.

Best South Indian food, Mallus would love 🥰 it...

¡Un restaurante maravilloso que tenemos la suerte de tener en el camino desde donde vivimos! Auténtica, comida fresca y personal encantador. Lo más destacado es el tikka paneer starter!

We tried weekend Thali and it was really good. Must have.

The dosa there is too die for🤌🏼🤤

Worst food I ever had in UK. I have ordered Mysore masala dosa which has no salt. Chutney was bit off. When I try to explain him about my experience. He was not ready to accept it. Worst experience I ever had.

Amazing food and service. I had a beautiful potato masala dosa with pieces of tandoori chicken pieces on the side, it was fresh and the taste was exquisite!

I recently dined at Ruchie.I had the veg thali and chicken curry and Parotta .Both dishes were delicious and full of flavor. The overall quality of the food was excellent. The ambience of the restaurant was also very pleasant, making for a great dining experience. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic experience at Ruchie restaurant. The masala dosa was crispy and delicious, and the filter coffee was the perfect finish. Jenson was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. His excellent service made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

A nice place to dine in to have some good South Indian food.

Ruchie in the UK offers delicious South Indian dishes in a cozy setting with friendly service. Their menu features crispy dosas, flavorful curriesand traditional ambiance etc. It's a great place for authentic a South Indian food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended for a flavorful dining experience!

The food was very well prepared, taste was authentic and fresh, had a great time revisiting the flavours of india, in the uk. Will definately recommend to everyone

Amazing food, especially the biriyani. Been a while since I ate good Indian food.

Amazing food and good ambience. You should definitely go here for some banging Indian food!

Me encantaron las diferentes variedades de dosas. La sopa tiene un entrante estaba definitivamente caliente pero muy sabroso. TODOS los platos sin gluten. El masla chai también era auténtico. Bonito ambiente relajado. Muy limpio y excelente servicio. Para 3 personas con propina £ 50. Esperamos volver pronto. Aparcamiento gratuito en el amplio aparcamiento gratuito Shirley en la parte posterior de la zona comercial.

Great food, travel from Worcester to have their dosa never disappoint. Always travel for great food. Can’t fault it at all.

The meal arrived two hours late and was even more disappointing than the wait. The food lacked adequate seasoning and flavor, and the vegetables tasted as though they had been frozen. To top it off, the customer service representative's insincere invitation to return for another meal was met with apprehension.

Had a delivery was disappointed this time, no naan bread as they don’t light the oven lunch time ok but my biryani was too spicy with chilli, never had a biryani like this, not many prawns & lamb curry wasn’t so good as before, maybe a different chef but for £39 felt it was a lot for what we had, chips were just about warm, not one to complain but was disappointed

Great quality food and very delicious

Though we were late Customer service was excellent 👍 Had some delicious food 🙌

Amazing dosa and Uttapam. You can’t go wrong with ordering them. Have to come back for the seafood.

Had Potato Masala Dosa which I shared with my partner as starter, I then had King Prawn Balti which was really just a large plate of rice with very few.prawns which I didn't really like, although have been before & thoroughly enjoyed all my food. Unfortunately I was ill all night. The only thing I can think that upset me was the prawns. Won't be going back for a long time, if ever.

We had a wonderful meal here yesterday & will definitely be going back. We ate in & also got a delicious takeaway for our boys (cos they couldn’t join us at the restaurant).

For starters I had the bhajia's, which unfortunately were very oily and were difficult to eat. I didn't get to try a variety of dishes, but I had the masala dosa which was fine. The dosa size seemed larger than the typical.

Best indian food i had after a long time Curries were quite different from other indian restuarants i have visited in Birmingham. Everything is balanced not more nor less. I'd love to take my family for a dinner coming week. Highly recommended for their service and ambience to experience with.

I came with high expectations but totally disappointed. I ordered hariyali tangdi kabab and got oily fried chicken with some green paste on it. full of fish falvour. Even Chilly paneer starter was like paneer in tomato and capsicum tomato puree. Total unsatisfactory. Not recommended at all.

Overall food taste was okay, starters could be potentially a bit more spicy.

Very good real authentic food.. worth visiting again. Value for money and nice enjoyment.

was sitting upstairs was cold had to leave coats on other people had coats on too. Service was not as good as usual my starter was over cooked and my curry was not nice the naan was good. l have eaten here before and it was good

Love their weekend Thali meals soooooo much

Very accommodating, booked for two people, partner is both gluten & dairy intolerant, very attentive service, very knowledgeable on allergens Lovely meal, will be booking again soon.

Fab !!! Great meal again! Good portions well presented.

The food was good . But i expected more sambar as it was insufficient for me. The taste was good . Appam’s were outstanding . Looking forward for more

Food was good in terms of southindian standards in Birmingham & nearby towns & cities . The veg/nonveg thali was amazing

Very good food, excellent service, and would recommend this eatery

Great tasting food. I always order their dosa’s.

Great south Indian restaurant on the Shirley high St. (Stratford Road :) Went here with a friend for the first time and ordered the fish pakora starter and masala dosa. It's was very tasty. Staff were attentive and the service was good. I will go come back and sample other things on the menu next time.

Excellent food. Amazing flavours.

Food is amazing tried many indian restaurants so far but this one is 👌👌👌 Amazing hospitality by Jenson who served us Highly recommended 👍

I was pleasantly surprised by the food with the caveat that a few people in our party suffered from excessive wind/funny tummy that night to the point of being uncomfortable so if you have a sensitive stomach then bear this in mind! Personally I was fine but a little windy but that could be because I had the Masala Dosa with lamb cutlets as a starter and I thoroughly enjoyed both but the other had a non-veg main! They actually give plenty of the potato but not enough samba as I personally like a lot and I had to get some extra.

The food were delicious and tasted good. Filter coffee was the stand out.

Ruchie offers excellent biryani and mouthwatering starters! The flavors of their biryani are exceptional, and the starters are among the best I've tasted.

We had a delightful experience at the Indian restaurant in Birmingham. The diverse array of authentic South Indian dishes offered a true culinary journey. The courteous staff added a touch of hospitality, making our visit enjoyable. While the ambiance was simple, it provided a comfortable setting for a memorable meal. A great place to savor South Indian flavors with friends and family.

Amazing, loved the andhra mutton curry! Not your usual Indian takeaway, give it a go and discover some new flavours:)

Nice restaurant with an authentic south Indian menu. Great service and relaxed atmosphere.

Was looking forward to trying this having driven past it several times. Was disappointed when I got closer - could have been more well-maintained from outside (dirty windows, worn down exterior) and inside, it felt a little deserted. Service was not attentive however, chilli paneer starter was really tasty as was the dosa but uttapam was very bland. Toilets were not up to standard - poorly maintained and felt untidy/unclean. Was ok but not sure I would visit again.

My family had booked a party at Ruchie to celebrate a 50th birthday party-there were 15 of us. We opted for platters of mixed starters-which were very tasty. There is a varied menu to choose from and to be honest we were spoilt for choice. We enjoyed a variety of dishes including; a fish curry, aubergine curry, chicken biryani, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, amongst others. All the serving staff were friendly and attentive and the main waiter was excellent-he remembered who had ordered what dish, which meant everything was served very quickly and was piping how. The side dishes such as rice and Nann breads were also fantastic. I have been to Ruchie before, but forgot how fantastic the food and service was. I highly recommend Ruchie for a night out, a take away or to celebrate a special occasion!

South Indian, food.Excellent standard of service and food. Delicious rice.

Best Indian takeaway we’ve had for a while. So many other places do insipid bland dishes that all look the same - this was fresh, well spiced and thoroughly enjoyable.

Superb Dosa’s and extremely good curries. The lamb curry on the bone was delightful and super tasty. A great place full of very well made South Indian dishes.

Food is good...Highly recommended 👌

Must try their dosa's, amazing service from the staff tonight

Had tasty hyderabadi dum chicken biryani and lamb biryani from here. Staff and service are excellent

Do not forget to try their Authentic Hyderabadi Dum Biryani its superb. I unfortunately couldn't get the Mutton Biryani as it was over but the chicken Biryani was superb

Good taste. A bit more sambhar curry would help

Excellent service and very tasty food. Filter coffee and masala tea were awesome too!!

Good authentic South Indian food. Especially kerala food

It has thali on weekends. Don't miss it. It's got great food and amazing ambience. Must visit

Full positive vibe,loved it.Delicious food with reasonable price. All staffs are friendly.

Myself and family goes regularly. Great food. Keep the high standard of food up.

Wonderful place for good South Indian food …especially their Rava masal dosa is one of the best

Love the ambience and food always🥰.... Best crispy Rawa dosa ever....a must try

South Indian Street style food, which was very tasty. We'll be going back as one of the top restaurants in Shirley

Very good place I liked it ..awesome ambience for dining 😉 nearly I visited about 3-4times..evry time I`m impressed with their services place also sanitized and very clean we feel very comfortable and coming to food it was delicious and they also prepare as per our order 😊 mostly pocket friendly any one can effort worth of money good experience with food and place also so good to visit like experienced ✌️.....

Amazing food, I would say one of the best in the UK.

Had a small party of 60 px was really happy with food and delivery ontime. Food was hot and very tasty. Highly recommended them for not only dine in but also for food catering services

Dosa specialists are hard to find and Ruchie doesn't disappoint. Great, tasty street food in a minimalist setting. I'll come again to try the curries

No match to the food quality when attending the restaurant. The sauces were very thin as if they were watered down with no flavour. This was first time takeaway from this restaurant, will not be ordering take away again, disappointed.

Disappointing. We hadn’t booked but it was 6:15 on a week night so didn’t think it would be an issue although we didn’t feel particularly welcome. I was shocked at the prices, £1.40 for a single popadom with small selection of dips. Portion sizes of the curry and rice were great but didn’t taste of anything special, I’ve had more flavoursome out of a jar in all honesty.

I went for my birthday dinner and food was really delicious. Good place for Indian food.

Incredible food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Our server was Jenson and he was able to explain all the dishes to us and was very persuasive in getting us to try new things! Would definitely recommend for any occasion.

great meal, friendly staff. And all on time. great food as always. Thank you

Delicious food, fantastic cocktails 👍

Enjoyed the food very much.Staff helpful too. If you want proper Indian food,with fresh spices and meat n fish,it's a must! Dosa's were delicious!

Great food, service and value. My food intolerances were fully respected and we all had a great experience. Even my fussy kids enjoyed the paneer dosa! Would highly recommend.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Can’t complain!

Food is great but has been a hit n a miss off late due to chef changes or shift rotas. Softest idlis ever! Service staff are a delight and really warm n welcoming. Can get a bit chaotic when busy.

I have eaten at Ruchies many times since its opening the food has always been amazing & the service fantastic but the last few visits the food & the spice taste does not seem to be the same quality as when it first opened which is disappointing hence my average rating.

Nice food. Good size portions. Delivery a little late.

Amazing service from imaad very attentive and aware of his customers needs and wants will definetly be returning great value for money!

Lamb curry was tasteless and too much sugar in the fruit juice. Google states that they do Indian sweets but the menu only has 1

Excellent food Great service Authentic taste 👍👍👍

Much better food quality and service as compared to previous few occasions. We regularly order from Ruchie and we hope it stays as our no 1 priority for takeaway food.

We've visited Ruchie a few times and our meals are consistently good. This time we ordered chicken and lamb dishes and the flavours were excellent with good portion sizes. Highly recommended.
