A Take-out Lunch At Ruchi In Huntsville AL

Because of the COVID-19 epidemic, I was required to order take-out only at Ruchi. There's a few picnic tables outside, so that worked out fine. This was my first visit to Ruchi. I ordered Bagara Baingan and Aloo Gobi. Each item came with a side of rice in a separate container.

Bagara Baingan
 
This dish was described as baby eggplant sauteed in a peanut masala sauce. It was clearly marked vegan on the menu. The sauce was surprisingly spicy and hot. That's okay. I loved it! It was full of wonderful flavor layers. The eggplant was soft. The sauce texture was similar to applesauce. The flavors were harmonious. I needed the rice with this one. It was hot! I'll be getting this one again later.

Aloo Gobi

The Aloo Gobi was mild and equally tasty. It was described as potato and cauliflower in a masala sauce. It too was clearly marked vegan on the menu. I got mostly cauliflower in this one. I would have enjoy having more potatoes, but this was completely satisfying just as it was if I had not expected more potatoes. This was another great choice. Very good!


My first visit to Ruchi in Huntsville was great. I wish the COVID-19 pandemic had not robbed me of the pleasure of eating inside and getting drink refills and table service. The restaurant interior appeared to be clean with a good choice of decorations. The service was great. The price was reasonable for the quality of the food. The serving sizes were generous. I especially liked the menu being marked for vegans. I am conscious of the fact that the fried foods listed as vegan may share frying oil with the meats, so very strict vegans should probably avoid those items or at least ask about them before ordering. I enjoyed my lunch at Ruchi and hope to return soon!
