I'd give six stars if I could!! I love masala dosa and this place is amazing! The dosa is huge as is the wonderful masala filling. I've had large dosas elsewhere, but have never been served such a generous helping of masala filling. The sambar and chutney sides are equally amazing. My new favorite dosa location! Their other dishes are equally good, but I come for the dosa!!
Ruchi Indian Cuisine - A Cozy Gem in Mt. Laurel Ruchi Indian Cuisine is a small yet beautifully decorated restaurant that's perfect for an Instagram-worthy outing. Clean and tastefully designed, the atmosphere is lively but not overly loud, making it an enjoyable spot for a family meal. We started with the Hot and Sour Chicken Soup, which was excellent--flavorful, well-balanced, and perfect for a chilly winter day. Next came the Madurai Chicken Chukka, with tender chicken that practically melted in our mouths--an absolute delight. The Apollo Fish was light and flaky, though slightly overwhelmed by red chili paste and missing a touch of seasoning. The Chicken Tikka arrived sizzling hot, with an enticing aroma and a buttery, vinegary taste. While tender and flavorful, it wasn't my favorite appetizer, but still enjoyable. For our main courses, we had the Chicken Pulao and Hyderabadi Chicken, both aromatic and generously portioned, accompanied by flavorful gravy and raita. The star of the meal, however, was the Mixed Noodles with chicken and shrimp. Spicy, garlicky, smoky, and perfectly balanced, this dish was absolutely satisfying and left a lasting impression. Overall, Ruchi Indian Cuisine offers a mix of hits and minor misses, with standout dishes that make it worth a visit. I'd rate it a solid 3.7 out of 5 stars and recommend it for a cozy, flavorful dining experience in Mt. Laurel.
This is the second time we ate here. We did dine in this time. Saturday noon to 1pm. Not busy at all, only one other couple was there. We had 2 vegetarian entrees. Food was excellent. Moderate portions. Staff was very nice and our server asked what spice level we wanted (medium). It was November and it was a little cooler in there than I would have liked. We kept our coats on. One menu note is they do have a lunch special Tuesday to Friday only. I knocked off one star because the chairs have cloth covers and the one I was about to sit on had oil spots and food remnants. I had to switch my chair with one from another table.
Can't say anything that everyone else hasn't already said, the food was excellent. Perfectly prepared and flavorful. Service was quick and efficient. There were many items on the menu that I haven't seen at other places, but they also had the classics, and I had a safe chicken korma. It was very good and nothing unusual. For variety I tried a different bread than usual, Chana Bhatura. It's a soft fried puffy dough what's a little different texture than the usual naan, served with a cup of Chana Masala, with bits of finely diced onion and a bit of tomato on top. It makes a great dip for the bread and has a strong flavor. Atmosphere is okay. It's a small place in a strip mall, and the strip mall is maybe a little tired looking. But the restaurant itself is clean and bright. Nothing fancy.
Great authentic Indian food with really terrific taste. Perfect service. ..:for dinner it's a little too bright. Like Best Buy or target bright. Not doing surgery, just eating dinner. I highly recommend though. Really level above very good food.
Ruchi is authentic South Indian cuisine. The restaurant is clean and modern. I was with a party of 5 and we shared several appetizers and main courses. We had a great assortment, from Biryanis, Kebabs, Naan, Soups and Tika Masala. The staff was very friendly. I really enjoyed my meal at Ruchi and looking forward to returning.
I came here for dinner with three of my friends and we waited about half an hour to be seated. The restaurant is very understaffed, and there was only one person waitressing, so it was hard to get water refills and noticed by her when we wanted something. However, most of the dishes we ordered were delicious. You should definitely order dishes and share if you are in a group - we did family style. We ordered the Paneer Samosas as an appetizer, which were smaller than expected, but pretty good (but nothing special). Some of my favorites: 1. Garlic Naan: garlicky, crusty, and chewy; you can't go wrong (and it's a must to take advantage of all the sauces!) 2. Saag Paneer: this was amazing. The paneer is soft and the sauce is flavorful, not spicy, and delicious. 3. Chicken Tikka Masala: can't go wrong with this - it was creamy with the perfect balance of tomato. The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce made up for it. Some dislikes: 1. Chicken Biryani: the rice was wayyy too soggy and because of this, it was unappetizing. It was also spicier than expected. However, the chicken was moist and there were lots of large chunks. 2. Chicken Korma: this was a house special, so I expected more, but it was just alright. I didn't love the flavors in the sauce, but the chicken was also tender in this. Prices are alright for the amount of food that you get. I would give this 3.5 stars given the service and medicre dishes, but rounding up because of how good the Saag Paneer was :)
Had lunch here with friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon meal. Service was friendly, helpful and on top of things - such as keeping our water glasses full. They also offered water room temperature or with ice. The place itself was nicely decorated. They put wallpaper on the walls, covered the chairs with fabric and put contact paper on the tables, all to give it a nicer, dressier look. The food itself was very good; Crispy, spicy and seasoned well. The chicken tikka masala not pictured was very good. The chicken biryani was a very large portion - serving it in a bowl over a plate would have been better. Definitely worth going to.
