We ordered multiple dishes. The food was so so. Mostly bland, nothing wrong with it. Just not great. However the behavior of the person when my husband picked up the food was downright nasty. First of all we are paying for all of it, so a bit of respect to customers goes a long way. Remember that there are other restaurants and once you treat people with disrespect there is no way they return to your establishment. read more

We absolutely love this restaurant! The food is amazing and the owner Raj is the best. He is so welcoming. My family loves the Dosa and many other dishes. Definitely worth eating inside to experience the hospitality. I highly recommend Masala dosa, chicken tikka Masala, Butter chicken and garlic nan to dip into the delicious sauces. read more

Butter chicken was delicious. Portions were gigantic. I loved the naan. And the samosa chat was,ehh. Would definitely go again. Glad you were open and serving during covid crisis. read more

Highly recommend! Fast delivery, food is incredible chicken and lamb curry - simply amazing, and large portions . Homemade ice cream - pistachio and mango - to good to be true, and they are soooo good read more

One of the few Indian restaurants up here. Prior to pandemic it was 4 stars. Now a more limited menu and lack of buffet has brought it down. Used to love their holiday buffet dinners read more

MOE : From NEW YORK CITY I want Indian food & I was coming up to Peekskill to visit my friend because she is moving so for dinner we ordered Indian food she mentioned this place the gentleman who took my order was very nice everything was correct, the order was ready on time, The food was fantastic also the next day. I was leaving & I wanted to take Indian food back with me so. I placed my order with hmesh not quite sure if I spelled his name correct but he was a very gentleman & I told him that I will definitely be back in two months to visit him again to order. Best regards Maurice M.C read more

Delicious everything. Popular place, service can be slow, servers are very kind. All the workers do right by the customers.

So I've eaten here before and thought it was good. Came back today and felt ripped off. $75 for lunch for 2. One appetizer, 2 entrees ans 2 beers??? And the waiter was too busy talking with his friends to clear the table ? Won't go back. By the way , the food really wasn't very good. Need I say more ? Save your money read more

Constantly great food and lots of veggie options. The owner is very nice and personable. We love coming here!

We went there New Year's Eve. They were featuring a champagne buffet. We had had a long day and really wanted ala carte menu. They were very gracious and accommodating to us. The food was delicious and service excellent. Great lamb Rogan josh! Don't miss the biryani! read more

The restaurant has a nice simple feel to it. Nothing too extravagant but nothing ugly or gross. Staff is very nice and courteous. On to the food. The food is above average I'd say, especially for the area. I usually get the same dish (lamb curry) from most Indian restaurants and I have to say that this is one of the better ones I've had. It's not too spicy but I'm sure they could spice it up for you upon request. Their rice and naan bread are cooked tastefully just as well. Overall great experiences here and will continue to return. read more

Wow, 6 stars if they had em. I don't order Indian often enough to compare this place to others, but damn it was good. We got a couple different entrees and a spicy soup, just delicious. Lots of flavor, lots of heat. Can't wait to order again. read more

Passing through Peekskill at 2.45 and saw Ruchi Indian Cuisine in a mall. Went inside to see they were closing in 15min. It was Sunday.. Ok if we stay? Yes of course!. The buffet was still on. The man in charge was very helpful. So we filled our plates. Deliciously spiced offerings. Wish I could remember all we had. Then... Out came take home trays and we were told to help ourselves for take home what was left at the buffet. Yummy. Hmm my favorite was chicken briyana and Mike's was a goat dish. I never tried the dessert that was out. There is a small bar there too. And tableclothes. Clean bathroom. Ill have Indian for a few meals at home this week. read more

You're immediately hit with the most amazing aroma when you walk into this place. The warm spices fill your nose and soul! Seriously. I'm still a bit new to Indian food so I wasn't too familiar with the dishes. Ordered the chicken tikka masala, and although it was good - tender chicken, good portion...it was a bit bland, but I suppose you could ask them to turn up the heat! However, my friend's chicken vindaloo was AMAZING. Seriously the most flavorful and spicy sauce ever, without being too overwhelming on the palate. I would definitely get this next time! The naan was so delicious, as was the mango lassi. Pros: chicken vindaloo, service, mango lassi. Cons: they rent out a space downstairs and at one point someone started playing bass and I felt the vibration go through my body like an electric shock. My ears were ringing and it got annoying/startled me a few times. Regardless, will be back next time I'm in the mood for something spicy, delicious, and comforting! read more

Super yummy. Had the Vegetable Samosas the vegetable biryani and the mixed tandoori grill. Really tasty had been craving Indian food for a while but wander sure what was good up here since we recently moved into the area. Will definitely go back for more! Very flavorful. read more

BEST Indian restaurant in the area. Delicious Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka Marsala, Sag Ponir Best Nan Wonderful, friendly staff. Our go-to place Love it !!!!!! read more

I don't know much about Indian cuisine. Because of their lunch buffet I was able to sample many dishes and learn what they are like. The atmosphere was quiet, relaxing and quiet. Because of the buffet eating here is no hassle. read more

Good spicy food! Do Tru goat pepper fry, was very good! Good ambience, friendly staff! read more

We managed to miss this place - they been open for over 3 years and we just found them week ago. Very attentive owner, explaining us in details all dishes that would be good for vegan/vegetarian diet and how they can alter if necessary. Food was good. We liked crispy eggplant-tamarind chickpeas appetizer, and freshly cooked tandoori vegetables. it was our second visit, and first we tried a lunch buffet which was good as well. will be back to try more. update - we like their lunch buffet a lot they always have 4 vegetarian dishes to try and few appetizers etc. good food. read more

Lunch time buffet is superb. Great value for money and a regular supply of fresh food. Always three vegetarian/vegan options to choose from too (which is why I like it so much). Dinner service is from the menu, a good selection of dishes although I tend to stick to my favourites. The Dosa appetiser is a must! It's large and tasty and always looks good on the plate. Go there! You won't be disappointed. read more

"Steve K" your review is nonsense. How is the jury still out if you've eaten there and liked it? STUPID! I've been to this place a few times - both for lunch and dinner - since it opened. The food is consistently good. The reviews on here are inconsistent for some reason. Probably idiots like Steve K. I've eaten in some of the best (and worst) Indian restaurants in the country and spent time in India and Ruchi is quite good! My only complaint was that we waited for our food during dinner a bit longer than I would have liked to, but it was excellent when it came. Avoid the "4 pepper" level of spice - it really is THAT hot. Everything I had was fresh, presented beautifully, and tasted wonderful. Also, they do have a full bar now. read more

I must have eaten from this place over a year ago and as I search for food that Im gonna have to order out from while im at work i opted to write this review to remind me that this place is a no good for really good indian food.... you know how sometimes you just feel like a lil spicy sumthin, and Indian cuisine fits the taste.. well this spot in beach is the wrong taste...hot yes, but not overly impressive and rather expensive... I was overly excited to find an indian restaurant close to work but then was disappointed as i usually am from most of the shops in Beach shopping center... so stop by if you are looking for a lil heart burn and curry, but taste will elude you...seek another....sorry guys, hope things get better.... read more

Note if using GPS this restaurant is in the shopping center! Went here with my husband's grandmother and cousin. It was a small but tasty buffet - great for the vegetarian in our group, and grandma, who never had eatten Indian food was able to sample lots of things. The curried goat was a bit oily and none of the food was too hot (spicy) but it was solidly tasty. And while not a huge buffet it was a good selection and clearly labeled. The carrot dessert was really good, despite looking boring. read more

Deeeeeelicious but rather pricey. It will be an excellent place for an occasional fix. Did a take out order online and when I walked in to pick it up, it was packaged and ready to go. read more

Good lunch buffet-- always consistent. Their saag paneer is good, but tikka masala a tad watery. Friendly staff, never had to wait for a table. read more

Had their Saturday lunch buffet today... definitely one of the better Indian buffets I've had. Great selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items, and everything seemed pretty fresh. No gross floating oil. Everything was relatively hot too (I mean temperature-wise... I hate those cold/luke warm buffets). I was also impressed by the service. Our water classes were never empty, and when they ran out of poori on the buffet and I asked if they were making more, they brought a fresh one right to our table. Atmosphere is nothing special, and the buffet wasn't cheap ($13.99). But that food and service will keep me coming back... read more

Ruchi has stepped up the game. They have cleaned the place up and kicked up the spice. When you have food from India that's what you expect. Flavors to explode. They also have a party room available for rent downstairs and offer catering. It's rare I wouldn't go back to a restaurant when the food is good. I never stopped coming here. And still suggest it to people. read more

Oh. My. Goodness. My husband and I were in town for a show at the Paramount and were looking for a place for dinner. We both love Indian food and we don't really have a good place by where we live. We looked online and found Ruchi was nearby the theater so we went. We got there right as they opened for dinner and it was 100% hands down THEEE BEST Indian food we have EVER had. He got chicken tikka masala and I got the chicken korma, and we each got an order of garlic naan. The chicken was so tender we could cut it with our forks. The sauces were rich and amazing and plentiful! The naan was just out of this world. We couldn't believe how good it was! HIGHLY recommend! I can see us driving two hours just to eat here again. **I do have to say Google maps tried to kill us trying to get there. Helpful hint - IT'S IN THE SHOPPING PLAZA. Also, the free glass of wine offer doesn't work because Yelp doesn't think you're actually at the restaurant either, when you're sitting IN the restaurant.** read more

The staff is very nice and friendly. Had the paneer saag and the chicken vindaloo. Both were excellent. The chicken was spicy but not excessively so. read more

I've only had the buffet here, but it is decent and the options often change. The variety and vegetarian choices are so nice. And the staff is very friendly. Once, the waiter took a few extra minutes to bring a soda I ordered, and he felt so bad he didn't charge me for it. I, in no way, indicated I was bothered by the delay...in fact I completely understood. He was hustling that day. I appreciated that small but meaningful gesture. Lost two stars for the lack of a shield over the buffet...I noticed a rather large hair in the rice once and waited for them to refill it before partaking in that dish. Also, I much prefer Indian House (previously located for 30+ years over in Montrose, now relocated to Croton). But I hear the dinner is great at Ruchi, so I'll be sure to update my review after I've tried that dining experience. read more

Staffs are polite and friendly. I love the foods so much. The water is good. It is not just like water that I usually drink. read more

See all

It was good 10 years ago when we first moved to Peekskill and it is still great Indian food now. Very consistent and perfect spiciness. The garlic nan is delicious and the staff is super friendly. If you like Indian Food it's a good spot. read more

Great food and very friendly staff! The best lasoni gobi I've ever had! I will definitely be going regularly

Every meal I have had here--and there have been many--has been fantastic. They have amazing vegetarian options, as well as non-veg, and their Indian Chinese dishes are soooo good. Service has always been superb, too-- friendly and fast (including freshly dried hot plates!) I highly recommend the standard chicken tikka masala, especially with some garlic naan. It always pleases!! read more

Best Indian food in the area! Super friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Shrimp saag is fantastic, also tons of vegetarian options. Will be back! read more

Came here for dinner tonight as I was craving Indian food. Split the meat samosas and they were a bit bland, but still good. For entrees the hubby ordered the lamb curry which was really good, flavorful with a subtle hint of citrus, I might need to get that next time! I got the mixed tandoori grill so I would have enough for lunch the rest of the week. You get a TON of food, however there was only one sad little shrimp. They also give you a side of tikka masala sauce, but this time it tasted heavily of cream rather than tomato and spices. The Naan was hot and fresh and the rice was good as well. Service was on the slower side, but for a Thursday night at 7pm, the restaurant was half full with take out orders coming and going and only one main waiter. If you're looking for reasonably priced Indian food, this is a great spot. Total bill with 1 app, 2 entrees, 1 order of Naan and 1 small beer was $50.01 (before tip) and we both have plenty of leftovers for the next 2 days at least! read more

The food has been underwhelming at Ruchi to say the least. It tastes as if they water everything down on the lunch buffet - the only dish I had that actually had enough spice or heat was a vindaloo - not exactly great prospects. The naan is thin, was definitely very old when we were served it - if a customer is struggling to even chew through bread (of which the serving at lunch is very small) you'd think you would offer a refill? Even if their basket is and has been empty for 15 minutes while they continue to eat from the buffet? At least that's how every other buffet I have gone to has done things. Overall the food was below average - most of it was under seasoned - veggies, spinach, curry, etc. The kheer was not bad but very watery. Service wasn't exactly friendly or attentive - not BAD, but certainly not above average. read more

This was our first (and will definitely be our last) visit to this restaurant. I'll give the benefit of the doubt that non-buffet dishes might be better, or that other buffets might have been better during different, weeks, months, or years, but this was by far the worst Indian meal we have had in our lives. We live in NYC and eat Indian food frequently, and this was absolutely horrible. It was so bad that my son and I couldn't finish our dishes, so we left our barely touched plates of food on the table and hiked it on down to the Mexican restaurant at the end of the mall. Victoria, who loves Indian food, actually stayed behind to tough it out, but when the wait staff (and finally the owner) came out to ask if everything was OK, she actually said (and she's never done this before), "Actually, not really. The food isn't very good." They immediately said we didn't to pay for our meals, which we would have gladly done, if they were edible. She then added that everything was incredibly bland, to which they replied, they did that on purpose at the buffet since they absolutely can't get away with making anything too spicy, lest they offend customers. BTW: when we saw the buffet, we asked if they could prepare dishes from the menu, and the waiter said no, but then later, the owner said absolutely, and then sternly looked at the water, who was standing right next to him. It seems like they have a communication problem there as well. So, what, in particular, was not good? For starters, the fried appetizers (fritters, etc.) were not just moderately warm, but cold. The two vegetarian curries they had at the buffet that we tried, a mango curry and a spinach lentil dish, were so watery that they left pools of water on our plate when we spooned a serving over the rice. The lemon rice was passable, but the pieces of Nan tasted like rubber. Seriously, not kidding, it was that bad. The thing is, I don't doubt that some people have had a great experience there, or that it's better during the week (we went on a Saturday), or that it was just an off day, but it shouldn't be so bad as to be inedible. Anyway, if you want Indian, I would check out other places in town, and if you go here, perhaps avoid the buffet altogether. read more

I never had Indian food before. My friend suggested me to check out their lunch buffet. For a low price we had a lot of options which was perfect for me because I could try a little bit of everything. The experience has really been great. I now love Indian food! On weekdays I stop here and pick a lunch to go box which you can fill up (they dont weigh the box which is great) read more

The food is here is amazing, prices are very good... the service is the best service I get in westchester, and that is a fact and a half
