"I’ve been using this place off and on for a while but my issue previously is that it is inconsistent almost like they have a good chef and they’ve asked some random dude if he fancies a go at cooking on other occasions. Previously I...had chicken that had the texture of wood, it’s was so strange and inedible I googled it and surprisingly it is actually called wood chicken and it can happen to some chicken however they also said it’s easy to detect when cutting the chicken into chunks so I assume to save money they just took the chance on me and took my £38. After this I ordered and it was a decent meal so I ordered again and this time it was a Sunday so they used a generic, tasteless, been reheated again and again sauce and it was not fresh. I took a break and ordered again and it was ok again and then the next time which was last night sums this place up perfectly. I paid £38 again, never asked for the wood chicken refund cuz I was so disgusted I just wanted to forget, this time the chicken tikka jalfrezi I ordered didn’t even fill half the container and it was luminous red!! Unfortunately like a fool I trusted this place would not try and choke me more than once. I had one mouthful of chicken and it was so hot and overwhelmingly disgusting I couldn’t eat it and and I’d tipped over everything! I called the restaurant and the second guy who came to the phone wasn’t keen on replacing the same night as we do live a fair distance from them so he said he would replace just that dish next time we order. I put the phone down and emailed asking for a full refund or a full replacement meal and they simply ignored me sooooooo, my advice is to use Raj Garden in Notley they have been consistent and always use fresh ingredients and cover the exactly the same area as The Ruby with the difference being they wouldn’t ever serve you chicken in purely chilli powder and then refuse to refund you in full. Making me have to go back there after taking my money and nearly choking me to death is pretty low! Plz avoid this place and use Raj Garden."

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

we ordered from here for the first time and I dropped between a 3 or 4 star rating, I went for the latter. first they have the largest selection of vegan and vegetarian options from any Indian I ordered. in the opposite it was wonderful to have such a great choice. our food arrived on time and was nice and hot. the partial sizes were somewhat smaller than some others, but perfectly sufficient. our negatives were that the vindaloos were not really so hot and although we had asked not to have kartoffels in them, they came with kartoffels. this was particularly annoying, as a member of our house has potnonomicaphobia. overall I would consider the order of them again as long as I could not repea...

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."

"What can I say….We held our wedding dinner and impromptu party ! on the mezzanine floor and had the time of our lives with our nearest and dearest. It’s been a pretty special place for us as we dined at the House by Hilly Gant to check the area out before moving from London and so as we were having a small wedding of 22 people we felt this was the best place to have our wedding. Suzanne and the team could not have done anything more to make our afternoon and evening so perfect. The food was outstanding and our guests were very impressed Harry and his cocktail making skills are second to none. Huge shout out to all the kitchen staff who’s attention to detail and timings were spot on. Leading up to the day itself Suzanne took charge and offered her expert advice on how to dress the room and made so much effort with our requirements. 3 children and 1 baby as part of the guest list! . The beef in particular was spectacular and the chocolate fondant was sublime. We honestly didn’t want to leave. After dinner Suzanne was able to crank the music up and we had a little party ensuring all the guests downstairs were still well looked after our friends were actually dining downstairs and were able to join us towards the latter part of the evening! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to everyone for making it so special for us. I’m not surprised that you were recently awarded your second rosette, totally deserved. For anyone looking for quality food, locally sourced, and beautifully executed this is the place to come. SEE YOU SOON and thank you again x"
