Abi Ruchi has been in Stoke Newington church street for 10 years, yet I had never tried it before. On first impressions, the restaurant looked modern and comfortable and tidy to a high standard. The toilet was very tidy and nice. The menu is very varied, and offers a huge range of Southern Indian dishes and biriyanies. Although we go to a lot of Indian restaurants, being fairly new to this Southern cuisine, we chose from seafood dishes, as this is what we know Southern Indian cuisine are renowned for. The restaurant was full, which was a good sign, but unfortunately, this meant a very long wait for our food (about 15 mins for our starters, and another half hour for our mains) so this let the service little bit down but its all right after tasting the food. Great food! Martin N16
