We have been coming to this establishment on many occasions and we had nothing but delicious and yet great service. With great embarrassment I faced today, Sunday 24th of March,after taking my partner for his birthday with the luck of service. The food took almost an hour. Sa soon as we made some equary due to my health issues where recently I had stomach surgery, I asked the if the food is to my requirement, to be fresh and I emphasised again on freshness I was reassured with a sniggering smile that they serve nothing but the finest food.As the food arrived rather late as they were occupied with their friends table who arrived after us but they were served the food before us. We felt it is was more of a private function than a restaurant.We we're seated opposite kitchen door where my partner noticed the lamb shank coming out of microwave.I was very hungry and I started eating my partner didn't mention this to me because he didn't want me to go off the food, tasted very much like a microwave meal from supermarket.After the meal I request a birthday song with a desert of the choice of baklava, once again I got reassured that they will put a happy birthday song , with uter disappointment the waiter put the desert in front of us and left in a hurry.We couldn't saty in that place any longer as we felt not treated as valued customers .I had to leave the restaurant immediately as I was in severe pain to get some fresh air and head home.I asked for the bill I was shocked that I had to pay more than £10 service charge for an appalling experience at RUBA Restaurant.On my arrival home I threw up all of the food as I couldn't hold it in.I felt very guilty and also costly that my partners day has been ruined by Incompetent service.

We chose Ruba because its the highest rated restaurant in the area and its Lebanese. It didn't disappoint - so much so that we repeated lunch here the next day with a dear friend. The lunch mezze platter is good value and each mezze was finely prepared. Its great value and service is very good, especially from the Greek manager from Crete.

We are regulars at Ruba and it's one of our favourite take out options as the food travels so well. However I want to review their less well known home catering service. We had a good sized dinner party (20+) that Ruba provided the catering for. Mazen was a joy to work with, helping spec out a delicious menu based on our favourites but also offering some great advice and ideas that turned out to be all very well judged.On the night of the event, everything turned up exactly on time and as promised. Mike was on hand to help with service and making everyone feel at ease. His manner was perfect for the party and real positive addition to the event. Come the end of the meal, everything was cleared away and collected with minimal fuss. All this meant that we could really enjoy the entire evening with our friends.All guests were raving about the quality and tastiness of the food. From end to end a really great experience, will definitely be using them functions in the future. Thanks Mazen and Mike!

Great place. We went there on New year's Eve. The food was delicious and the service was warm and efficient. The belly dancer was a nice touch.

All our family ate here on Xmas day, the food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was brilliant and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. A wonderful eating experience, we can't wait to visit again, thank you so much.
Lovely atmosphere, great service from a friendly team. And the food? The hummus, tabbouleh and kafta meshwi is the best I’ve tasted outside Lebanon. Highly recommended!

Amazing food and service. Buzzing atmosphere, friendly staff and an amazing pannacotta for dessert! Will be going back soon.

We were a group of 7 and all had a great time. Very tasty food, great service and they surprised one of our group with a birthday treat, candle and everything!!!

Ruba is our family’s favourite restaurant and for good reason. If you want to have the best food in a beautiful setting with the most attentive staff, then you must visit. Ruba hosted our engagement party of almost 60 people and everyone told us it was the best Lebanese food they’ve ever had. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful team who cared for us sooo well and we had the best time we possibly could have had - we absolutely adore everyone there and will have nothing but the best memories from our engagement. Thank you so much Ruba, you’re a treasure! ?????

Highest imaginable quality of food served. Every single facet of service and food meticulously implemented. Fresh and welcoming decor (interior design brilliant). This is a place to go to have an excellent meal in a warm and friendly environment, where the staff and management really care about your experience. I could continue to describe the quality and taste of every dish we were served but the fact is we found them all to be excellent in every category, from freshness, taste, texture and authenticity. The Baba Ganoush, albeit a simple dish, is worthy of an award in my opinion. Lovely.
