Ruchi South Indian Cuisine

Named 'Ruchi' after the Indian word for taste, this South Indian restaurant stays true to its brazen name. With options ranging from the time-honored tandoori to sumptuous three-course banquets, it has a selection to suit all palates and budgets. Vegetarians especially, are well catered for, with the choice of nine entrees and eight mains, including eggplant cooked in a rich gravy of peanuts, coconuts and sesame - an interesting and subtle twist on the much-loved purple vegetable. For traditional meat lovers, there's the signature com-mix dosai - rice and lentil crepes stuffed with spicy mince and potatoes. For those opting for a quiet night in, Ruchi's offers a convenient takeaway service with free local home deliveries. However, the space offers all the comforts of home with a casual feel and exposed wooden beams, green carpets and generous dining tables for big families. It's an ideal place for a low-key, mid-week dinner and with a fully licensed bar, you can settle back for a drop of wine while you're at it.
