Wow that hit the spot! I love kerelan food and I really enjoyed this meal, just demolished my masala dosa and it took me right back to india. Arrived super fast and was absolutely delicious, will definitely use this restaurant again, very happy indeed.

Read the reviews and expected alot more, the food arrived hot which is always good but sadly it was all a little bland, no wow factor. We paid £25 pounds for 2 people and not even a pappodom thrown in for good measure, probably won't use again

Food from Abi Ruchi is always fresh, interesting and delicious. This considered, it is also pretty cheap. In about 7 years of going there I haven't had a single bad meal. Their paratha is almost certainly the tastiest bread-based item available in London (I have never known anyone go back to nan after trying one), and it is one of the few restaurants I have eaten at where veggie options are often as good as meat and fish. As well as the paratha, the king fish dishes are amazing (with a texture not dissimilar to tuna, it's perfect for curries), and they do a mean dal.

They are also really friendly, proper nice people.

Recommended if you like food.

Avoid if you want a meal that will burn your face off.

Love Abi Ruchi, the best curries in the N16 area but a long way..... More please!

My third meal at Abi Ruchi and this will definitely be my last:

-Food arriving an hour and a half after ordering (40 mins late)
-No contact at all from the restaurant to explain this and no apology on arrival
-Food arrived luke warm / cold and the paratha was stone cold
-Special request was ignored

Many other takeaways in the same area: provide much better service, contact the customer if they know they are busy/late and provide food piping hot.

Excellent value for money - £34 got us enough food for 4 with enough for one left over.
Food arrived well within the time slot and was hot despite the freezing weather.

The food was delicious as always, although the saag paneer was a little too creamy for my liking.
I particularly enjoyed the pickle tray (especially the lemon pickle, wonderful), the lamb malabar and the lovely flaky kerala paratha, it was the perfect amount of crispy on the outside.

Best takeaway on hungry house in our area. Thanks.

The really great thing about Abi Ruchi is being able to get Keralan food delivered, rather than the North Indian/Anglo hybrid of most Indian Takeaways (not that I don't like that food on occasion as well).
As some other reviewers have commented, their seafood and veggie dishes are generally great. The pickle tray is also a nice touch especially the beetroot pickle which tasted really fresh. I've really enjoyed the vellappam pancakes for soaking up curries at other restaurants and these did not disappoint, they were really delicious. The Sambar was full of flavour with the veggies nice and soft. If I had one complaint with the food there was maybe a bit too much ghee / oiliness for my taste in the nadan meen curry, but it was still tasty.

I'll definitely order from Abi Ruchi again.

Consistently excellent

Been going to this friendly place for years. Only one bad experience in that time when the main chef was on his holiday!..Great food, best indian around.

All food is pretty good. I especially enjoy the kadala curry..one of the few places in London which cook chickpeas this way.

Lovely Keralan style curry, a little watery but very interesting and a great change! Peratha was awesome get one!

As ever, really delicious food, very good value.

Class above most takeaways

Maybe I ordered badly, but the food wasn't anything to shout about. I know the restaurant - it's clean and a reputable joint, not some random industrial estate in Tottenham. But this was a bit blah. Spinach side order was nice. Otherwise, the sauces seemed watery and lacked the TLC and careful cooking that makes a good curry. The menu reads like it's more exciting than it is. Great service and price though.
