Ruchi Indian Cuisine

"I went twice at this location and both time the food , service and atmosphere is bad. They had buffet nite but the food so spicy and all curry has same masala. Asked for tea and it never showed up. Will never go back."

"Was there for Dinner buffet on the weekend. Worst food ever. Food is so spicy n tasteless. Will never recommend anyone to this restaurant. Never going back."

"Had buffet and for $17 it was such a good spread! (in a world where one A La carte is $12-$14, and this is unlimited buffet- there was veg biryani, samosas, naan, 3 veggie curries, daal, idly, sambhar, rice, 2 desserts, and 4 non-veg curries and maybe even more! The free masala chai is always welcome with buffet. The service was so good, the gentleman who seated us, he got fresh idlies to our table and chutney. Jalebi and mysore pak were desserts. will definitely go again!"

"The food from Ruchi Folsom location was horrible. We were calling to see if they were open, and they didn't answer. We decided to drive there and they were open. They said they just opened even though the hours of operation on Google and their site references a different time. It happens, that's okay. There were no customers at that point. We ordered 2 lamb dishes and 1 chicken dish. The gentlemen who took the order didn't know the dish name. 5 mins later, the chef comes out to verify the order. Then, 2 mins later, they said that they had a lamb left for only one entree. Mind you, they said they just opened. We were asked to pick one lamb dish. We were talking amongst each other to see what we would do, and the gentlemen said, "You want both, okay let me talk to the chef." That was a nice gesture, but if there's no lamb for both, how can you make it work? Clearly, they would skimp us on the lamb. He came out 3 mins later saying they can make both dishes. The lamb biryani had very dry, somewhat old looking lamb. Explains why there was only "enough lamb for one dish." It looked like the lamb was a few days old and the very end peices. It also tasted boiled with no flavor, and we felt somewhat sick after eating it. The biryani rice barely had any flavor or color to it. The other lamb dish only had a few lamb pieces. The naan was not even cooked and was all ripped. The layer of each naan was ripped and seemed like it was chewed on. It also didn't seem fresh and store bought, which is sad because it was worst than anything you would find at a grocery store. The rice on the side was not basmati rice and seemed like it was made in a rice cooker and not the usual fluffy rice you get at many Indian restaurants. The Ruchi in Folsom is not good, probably the worst indian food I've had in a long time! The Ruchi in Natomas is better, but they clearly do not have any consistency between both locations, nor does it seem like they have the same owners."

"What a wonderful lunch! My friend and I were looking for Indian food in Folsom, and came across Ruchi Indian Cuisine. We each got the very well priced lunch special, Chicken Tikka Masala for me, and Chicken Curry for her. We were delighted when our lunch came out on large trays, with the food arrayed beautifully. Lunch includes entree, rice with vegetables, dal, a mini samosa, little savory rice (?) stars, naan, and a little dessert. The food was delicious and filling and the service was great. Definitely going back. Eat here!"
