Ruchi Indian Cuisine, Folsom CA

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.

Same experience as Cali. Chicken tikka masala had very few dry chicken pieces. Overall their food quality and quantity have gone bad. If they cut corners like this they will loose customers.

Not satisfied overall. No chicken dum biriyani available on Sunday, which is fine but we were told other biriyani’s available. But egg biriyani looked like a fried rice.
Naans, Rotis are fresh and tasted good.

We had not been here since before covid but recently ordered takeout from Ruchis. We were disappointed to find that the chicken in the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala was very dry inside. Aside from dry, each dish came in a plastic container that was 90 percent sauce and LITERALLY a couple bites of chicken. About 17 bucks for maybe 3 bites of chicken seems insane. Both dishes were like that, all sauce. The rice and nan were ok. Not sure we will be back unless it's to eat at their buffet to give the food a try. Maybe the dryness was a one-off?

Lunch buffet was tasteless and not sufficiently heated, not worth the 17$ at all. No way comparable to the buffet at the Sacramento location.

Tried fish pakora, chicken biryani, chicken shik kabob. Food is really tasty. My wife loves their fish pakora.

Ordered one Mango lassi with other foods and the lassi was delicious and perfect. Food was ok. So ordered 4 mango lassi next time and they tasted just like a sugar water. Basically they just added lots of water and sugar to one cup of mango lassi and adjusted to 4 cups. Lesson learned and will never order again any beverages from here. Waste of money. This is how restaurants loose customers when they compromise on quality to save few bucks and not thinking of long term consequences.

Ruchi food is always nice and sumptuous especially when it's buffet. They started buffet couple months ago and I am going "yes! ". Best value lunch in entire Folsom!

We dined in and the food was just amazing. The service there is magnificent. Sarinivaos (I probably mispelled his name) but he is amazing and so nice. The prices of the food too are reasonable. If I could give this place more than a 5 star, I would…

Very good taste and service. I had the chicken chettinad. Very affordable as well. 5 star.

They try, just not hard enough they are using the big excuse covid why they have no buffet, little disappointed about that even they show buffet pictures on there website. So 20 years ago I ate there several times which was my first taste of Indian food and that made me fall in love with the cuisine. It's changed And I can honestly say it's not me just there recipes and cooks maybe due to costs but twenty years later it's now the worst indian restaurant I have ever had.

Favorite Indian food in Folsom. My wife and I absolutely LOVE Indian food and the first time we went to Ruchi we knew we found our favorite place. It has a southern Indian flair to it which makes everything taste incredible! They also have cheese naan, which I haven't been able to find anywhere other than Australia. If you're in the area, this is the beat Indian food.

Quiet place with solid buttered chicken and naan. Our go to place for that meal in particular. It tends to be a little on the quiet side and the atmosphere is tired, but we go just for the buttered chicken and naan, which keeps us happy.

This was my first time trying here. Their curry was very good. We had the chicken Tika Masala, Goat Curry, Chicken Birani and also Kafai Paneer which is an Indian cheese curry with bell peppers. The sauce had just the right spice level and the owner of the establishment was super nice and very helpful in helping us navigate the menu.

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!

The worst indian food i ever had.the non-Indians if u think this food is gd then ur fooling ur self.try some different place
