Ruchi’s Indian Cuisine review

I don't think this restaurant has even been opened for a year but man its poppin', the flavors, the service, everything. This gem of a spot is located within the Spring Branch area.. a part of town thats typically not known for Indian food. Everything about Ruchi's was perfect. Down to their service, warm environment and tantalizing food. Wow! I asked the Non-Indian servers if the chefs were Indian.. and she said yes.. in fact they are South Indian. Perfect! No wonder the Masala Dosa hit the spot. Huge, full of savory potato filling and complemented with coconut sambar, kurma, etc. Biryani was pretty good as well. Full of meat, spices and savory goodness. I was amazed at how much food was left over after everyone ate. The food was so delicious that everyone continued to peck at their plates. We got full quick, generous servings that were packed full of flavor. We also like the appetizers served in the beginning, potato veggie samosas that were complemented with green yogurt chutney and tamarind chutney. Lastly, we enjoyed the Ras Malai, a sweet cottage cheese dumpling dessert that's soaked in a milky saffron base, topped with crushed pistachios and dried rose flowers. Sweet closing to sum up a warm fun-filled night. All in all, everyone had a good time at this cute little spot tucked out in S.B. They have TVs with colorful music blasting, as well as food travel shows. Thanks for the warm service and wonderful hospitality. We will surely revisit next time around, perhaps during lunch while sipping on chai and such! Until next time. ~xoxoxo~
