I would have given three stars if it wasn't for the obnoxious old man that delivered my food! I had to wait for it to be delivered for about an hour and then he made a big fuss about he couldn't see the numbers to get into the flat. Well, it's not difficult, use a torch and I let him in when he phoned me anyway! I'm paying his wages and he's talking to me like that! Last Tuesday, I got him again and he was even more obnoxious than before! I won't be ordering food from you again!

I would have liked to talk to message the restaurant directly but can't find where! The food was tasty and had a good level of spice. However, the vegetable biryani had quite a few hard inedible green sticks (probably from the green beans) which really spoiled it for us. Probably won't be ordering again from them.Vegetarian options: Be aware that the veg is in huge chunks and we had inedible stalks in a biryani.

ScamWarning this place is a scam I keep getting messages from them. I can't block them then or opt out. I don't remember ever giving them my number or ordering from them.Also since they have been contacting me I have been getting constant scam messages and phone calls.

We usually get our takeaways from one of the other nearby restaurants, but when ordering online found that the order was over £54 for three of us. I saw that we could get the same order for £43 from The Ruby, and although I was a little concerned incase there was a negative reason for this, we decided to give them a go. Wow, a really nice meal, and everything cooked to perfection!. King Prawn Madras with proper King Prawns, and the perfect heat. Veggie Korma tasty and not too sweet, and the Tandoori mixed grill well presented and delicious pieces of meat. Rice, popadoms and Garlic Naan also really good standard. I usually give an improvement point but for once honestly cannot think of anything! Very good job, and will be going there next time 100%

One my first takeaway or visit to a restaurant I always have a prawn madras as that is my favourite. Unfortunately the Prawn Madras was extremely disappointing. Not due to the lack of prawns but to the lack of flavour! It was just prawns in a hot greasy soup. I wonder if they forgot the Madras spices and what gives the sauce some consistency as it was so thin! Fortunately my husbands curry was nice! Sorry we won't be back.

Very average Indian, lamb was lovely and tender and the saag paneer was good but apart from that it was only ok. The butterfly king prawn starter was disgusting and inedible had to call up and let them know as I don't think it's fair to serve that to people, the rice was kind of hard, the cheese naan had hardly any cheese on it and the bombay aloo didnt taste of much. Looking at other reviews this may of just been a one off but our first time trying so a bit disappointed.

Ordered takeaway tonight, usually alternate between the Ruby and Balti Nights. Took about 50 mins, ordered online. Had Kati roll, garlic chicken tikka and Keema starters and the special rice. All really good and tasted fresh, big portions as well - pretty much a full chicken breast in the Tikka! Wife had an aubergine dish that she really rated as well. Sometimes takeaway can be hit and miss even places we have used before but tonight's was really good.

Great vegan options, varied and delicious. Had the vegetable jalfrezi and they kindly added tofu for me. Highly recommend for vegans looking for a decent curry.
They are open online tonight so we ordered £40 of food and then called to see how long! The very rude man told us they were shut!!! We said you’re open on your website and on google and you’ve taken our money! He promptly hung the phone up and wouldn’t answer again! What sort of scumbag robs your money and then won’t answer the phone once they know what’s happened!!! Spent hours calling and calling and they wouldn’t answer!!! Absolute scumbags! Thieving scumbags don’t order from this hole of a place they are lying thieves and they will be getting a summons! Terrible people with no morals I honestly can’t believe after all the money we have spent there that they have done this to us!!!! Avoid these people at all costs terrible human beings!!!!!!!

Really nice food and well delivered. After setting expectation of a 50 minute wait on delivery order, on busy Saturday night, actually our food was 20-30 minutes, and piping hot; very friendly delivery staff too; massive menu to choose from but all meals were delicious by the 4 of us, and not really bank breaking either...certainly enough for a couple of lunches the day day as extra. definitely recommend

Haven't ordered from here in so long and it used to be our favourite, unfortunately it wasn't very nice, it was swimming in water, the chicken was chewy also, could fill a glass with the amount of water on the plates.
