Decided to visit as was nearby. Was "Closed" on door but Owner/Chef spotted us and let us in for a meal on the restricted menu. The food tasted superb. Full of flavour and depth. The place is under renovation and we wish the place well.Vegetarian options: Not a problem...

This review edited to update to May 2022. Used to be the best Indian in Rugby to dine in, when it was called Dilruba.... went there for more than thirty years..... Now changed hands and changed name to Annaluckmi Live. I've only been here once and had a delivered meal from here under new ownership and the refurbishment that's been done.The food is still excellent but the dine in restaurant experience is very different... half of the premises has now been sold so only a handful of cafe style and size tables are crammed into a much smaller space along with the bar, and the place is very bright like you'd find in a High Street chemist shop or an indoor sports hall - not a problem if you like eating in floodlit places but feels clinical rather than cosey or homely, and at odds with what to expect for a restaurant environment. The staff are very polite & friendly.

Very nice place to have Indian cuisine. Loved the warmth of the staff there

Worst meal ever. Food bland, visually unappealing and poor flavour. Chicken had clearly been sat around a while in heater as was stewed. Service not good. Amateur all round. We don't need this place in Rugby as there are allready too many better options for curry.

Recently changed management, awful food, undercooked naan breads and congealed yogurt dip. Was the same both times. Thought we would give it the benefit of the doubt the last time, as it was new owners and it used to be our favourite restaurant. It’s a shame we won’t be visiting again.

This used to be a classic Indian restaurant..we hadn't been there for a couple of years and was very disappointed to find it half the size (other bit now a barbers) , very light and modern with no atmosphere , cold inside , service average, barr poorly stocked and food distinctly average .. though to be fair poppadums and naans were very good. RIP Dilruba

The food was absolutely disgusting, the chicken tikka masala was a very strange colour and the texture was gross. Tasted a bit like Heinz tomato soup with a bit of curry powder. There was something wrong with every meal and they tried to charge us for side dishes as though they were a full meal. Will never return. I would have given no stars at all if that was possible.

Placed an order online for collection which included a vegan dish.Once I took it home and started eating the 'vegan' dish I discovered it was in fact chicken. I was not happy having been a vegetarian for over 30 years. I called to complain and was told that they didn't have the vegan option and offered to refund the cost of the dish. I agreed but after almost 24 hours and 3 phone calls I am still waiting for the refund.

The food was excellent, fresh , hot and flavoursome. I had chicken curry and partner had the chickpea curry as she is vegan
Ok meal. Service was poor. Starters plonked in front of us, main course cutlery tossed on table.It felt as though we were interrupting the waiter's sit down.Unsure whether we will he back.

We ordered a takeaway, it arrived ahead of the estimated time, the delivery guy was very friendly and the food was absolutely beautiful, and plenty of it. The nicest Indian we've had in a long time. We will definitely be ordering again. 5*****

What used to be head and shoulders the best curry in Rugby has gone totally downhill over last year or so - so disappointing.

Couldn’t recommend this restaurant more. We stayed in Rugby for a few evenings and attended some of the other restaurants in the area. This restaurant was by far the best food and service! The food was incredible in it’s depth of flavours and quality, the presentation was fantastic and the overall experience was great. If you’re looking for a curry in Rugby then I could not recommend this more.

Poor food. Ordered some Fish, it was A few cubes of white Fish in a sauce of one coulor, no sign of veg, worse than curry sauce from a jar. Wasn't even hot as it started in menu. I Ate much better take aways
