Located in heart of Yorkshire Dales, high quality and tasty food, warm welcoming environment, staff and owner were really polite. Fish curry and lamb curry was really tasty,very quick service would definitely be going

This place is quality. It would be easy to go for the easy option with a captive audience but here they seem to go for excellence.Great tasting food, good ingredients and plenty of it.Well done!

Not much of a welcome , no one actually took our drinks order then Given the option for buffet so we decided to take it , first customers of the evening in , we watched the food been placed in the serving dishes so we were expecting nice hot food . Sadly onion baggies cold so after eating them we thought we were going to go for the mains but also Luke warm . Never have we ever eaten pillar rice with this flavour before it tasted like there was a whole jar of cardem pods in it . Only good thing was the popper doms. Pretty much all the buffet tasteless !!!!!!! We shall not be returning and would DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!

Came here for our evening meal. We hadn't booked a table, but luckily we're able to be seated prior to a later booking as they were fully booked. So I'd advise to book. Although when entering, there was nobody in there at all. Seems like most book for around 7pm onwards as it did get busy.Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was really good. Some of the best onion bhajis we've had.Wasn't overly expensive either. Definitely recommend.Parking: There's a pay and display (9am-6pm) car park pretty much next to the building. With plenty of parking at the point of visiting anyway (Saturday evening). The car park is free after 6pm.

We went to Ruchee’s on a Wednesday when there was a special offer - £15 for a starter and four mains. We all had a great welcome from Ali and were shown to our table. The staff were most attentive and looked after us very well. The onion bhajis were delicious but they are certainly not for the faint-hearted being very large. We forgot to take alcoholic drinks so drank tap water which was probably better for us! We cannot speak highly enough of this fine and authentic restaurant. Thank you.Patrick Hargrave (brother of Andy ) and Kam Mann?

Worst Indian I have ever had. We ordered poppadoms to start (got one each priced at £5) ordered an onion Bhaji to start he asked if I wanted it with my main but I said no as a starter but it still arrived with the main course. The jalfrezi was bland, not spicy. No chillis as you would usually find in a jalfrezi. Asked for a Diet Coke with my meal it never arrived so a good job it wasn’t spicy as I ate my meal with no drink. My partner got the buffet which was stone cold. The waiters response was people keep leaving the kids open …. Is this not a health and safety issue? He ordered a tikka massala from the menu instead which arrived with about 3 pieces of chicken in. Told waiter the meal was rubbish but he couldn’t care less. Avoid at all costs

Ruchee is an excellent restaurant. We were lucky to get a table with a last-minute booking on a Saturday night, and I'm glad we got in. The food was excellent and the atmosphere buzzing but not too loud. The service wasn't quite 5 stars - we felt a bit forgotten in the corner - but overall I would definitely go again. Good value too.
Simple. This is the best Indian food we have eaten in a long time. Here in Settle on a walking holiday and ate at Ruchees just the once as we were recommended to eat at the other Indian restaurant in the town, but that was not a patch on Ruchees. Everything was hot. My Kazimira was packed with prawns, and the two rice dishes were excellent. Not licensed, so take your own. Reasonably priced as well. One small complaint. The staff were a bit miserable !

Having been to this restaurant a few time we found the food was great and the service was very good. On our last visit though my wife found a hair in her chicken curry. No apology was given and we were still charged the full price.

Came here twice during the course of a 3 night stay in the Dales, that probably says it all! Wednesday night has a very generous £15 meal offer, especially as the food is delicious. Even when we returned on Friday night, the meal came to less than £25 per person. That was poppadoms, main, side and drinks. The service was brilliant as well. Can totally recommend!

We have been eating here since they opened 27 years ago. The food is always of the highest stand and is very good value for money. The Ruchee is certainly worth driving to even if you are not staying in Settle. Quality food which is served efficiently and the staff are always friendly.
