RUHI Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Al Maathar Municipality

A fine dining experience and authentic Indian cuisine, today I’ll be talking about Ruhi, an Indian restaurant.

At the entrance you’ll be greeted by a statue of an elephant, which is a neat thing to add and definitely adds a flair to the appearance of the entrance, you can choose between sitting indoors and outdoors, or on the top floor where you have both options as well. I really loved the ambience of this place, the whole place is well lit and well designed, it’s a unique take as it’s a combination of an oriental and modern looking aesthetic, nothing feels out of place though. It all falls beautifully in to one package we know as Ruhi.

The service was really good, the manager allowed us our time to look around and choose a place to sit down and another employee came and checked on us while we were having our food. They really care about customer feedback and it’s very reassuring to know that they care about what the customers think. The waiters were attentive and explained all our dishes as soon as they were served and were super polite.

We were served with ChurMura Bhindi (Crispy fried Okra), Ghosht Khulabi Seekh (Meat Kofta) Daal Tadka (Yellow Lentil), Lucknavi Subzi, Biryani (Vegetable Biryani), Cucumber Raita (Cucumber Yoghurt), Butter Nan (Butter Bread) & Garlic Nan (Garlic Bread),Murg Makhani (Butter Chicken) and Ruhi Salad. All of these dishes were excellent, I loved all of them except the Ghosht Khulabi Seekh, if you’re someone like me who doesn’t prefer spicy food at all I’d recommend you to steer clear of that specific dish. The rest of the dishes were amazing, especially the Butter Chicken. I loved it so much I placed an extra order of it so I could take it home!

The drinks that were served to us were the Lychee Coco, Thandai, Pudina si sharbat, Mango Lassi and Fresh Orange Juice. My absolute favourite out of all these would have to be the Pudina Si Sharbat, just a taste of that fresh lemon and mint made me feel refreshed, the fresh orange juice was as fresh as can be and my family loved the Mango Lassi as well, the Lychee Coco was unusual for us cause we’ve never tried anything similar to that before, but the combination of cococut and Lychees might be appealing to a lot of people.

And finally for our desert we were served with Gulab Jamun. The Gulab Jamun itself was topped with a scoop of Kulfi Ice Cream, and I know a lot of people love kulfi! I’m not a big fan of Gulab Jamun. I’m pretty sure a lot of people can name sweets shops that they’d consider have better Gulab Jamun than the one they serve here. But keeping in mind the fact that this was made to serve different types of target audiences, I’d say that it was decent.

This restaurant is more on the expensive side. It is a fine dining experience after all, if you’re looking to try something like that I really recommend you check this place out, and if you’ve already been here let me know what you think!
