The Ruby Star is one of the main take-aways in my area. To be honest I'd only really go here if the Boston takeaway up the other end of the road is closed. And after a few bad experiences, think I may just opt for home cooked food the in future. The food is standard Chinese fare. One good thing is that the menu is vast so there's plenty of choice. Perhaps too much choice. If the owners had focused on perfecting a few dishes rather than trying their hand at everything it might make for better cuisine. They offer everything from chips and sausages in batter to 'European dishes' 'thai curry dishes' to a plethora of chefs specials. I have sampled the chicken and beef curries before. They are a bit sickeningly sweet, too watery and contain soggy mushrooms. It's really not the best at all. One time I tried to sample a chicken and cashew nut meal with steamed vegetables to have something fresh. What I got was inedible and promptly went in the bin. Instead of fresh chicken it was made from yucky thin goujons that weren't fresh at all, whilst the sauce was a sickly honey flavour. Yeuck! The prices are pretty reasonable, a curry is £5.60. Nothing on the menu seems to be over the £6 mark. I think you get the picture. Whist the staff are friendly and provide good service, if you have any kind of a foodie palette stay away from The Ruby Star. read more
