I had previously had mixed experiences here, especially during kovid! today we ordered a takeaway, it was late on Wednesday and it came within 45 minutes as they said and it was perfect in every sight! huge chicken pieces, madras was just as tasteful and hot as you wanted and there was a lot of food that was quite expensive! can not recommend this place very enough on the basis of today's experience!

What Nikki Roy dislikes about Ruby:

Very average Indian, lamb was lovely and tender and the saag paneer was good but apart from that it was only ok. The butterfly king prawn starter was disgusting and inedible had to call up and let them know as I don't think it's fair to serve that to people, the rice was kind of hard, the cheese naan had hardly any cheese on it and the bombay aloo didnt taste of much.

There are plenty of delicious vegan choices at this restaurant, all carefully crafted and very flavorful. Braintree is lucky to have this takeout option available.

The restaurant takes veganism seriously and offers a thoughtfully curated menu. I particularly enjoyed the tofu in my curry and appreciate having the option to dine out when I don't feel like cooking. The food was delicious and we plan to come back again. I hope they will expand their menu to include more vegan options and provide information about other vegan side dishes. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful when we had questions. #Veganuary

We absolutely loved the food at this restaurant tonight. We had no idea that they had such fantastic vegan options! It seems like they are really expanding their vegan menu. We tried the vegan Kati roll (Bombay cholla roll) and the Tofu Morabba in garlic chilli sauce. All the dishes were excellent, especially the Morabba which tasted closest to chicken korma I've had since becoming vegan. If you're a vegan in the Braintree area, you must try some of these dishes!

Take veganism seriously and have a well selected menu. I love tofu in my curries and it's great to have an option if I don't want to cook. The food was good and we would definitely return. I hope they will expand the menu and also the other side dishes of those vegan. The staff was known when we asked something #Veganuar

Absolutely loved our food from here tonight. Had no idea this place had such a fantastic vegan! Looks like they're really expanding on it. Had the vegan Kati roll (Bombay cholla roll), Tofu Morabba Tofu in garlic chilli sauce. All dishes were top drawer the Morabba is the next thing I had ever become chicken corma since vegan. If you are vegan somewhere near Braintree, you just have to try some of these dishes!

Great vegan options, varied and delicious. Had the vegetable jalfrezi and they kindly added tofu for me. Highly recommend for vegans looking for a decent curry. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £1–10

Haven't ordered from here in so long and it used to be our favourite, unfortunately it wasn't very nice, it was swimming in water, the chicken was chewy also, could fill a glass with the amount of water on the plates. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30
