Food was super tasty - excellent pakora, goat dishes. Service was friendly and warm. We had a great time. It's BYOB and we could enjoy the drinks we brought with the food. They provided us glasses and wine bottle opener. read more

Very good Indian food with all of the classic curries and butter chicken and such. Service was not that great and can be improved. Off street parking. Tip is automatically included "for parties of 1 or more." read more

6 stars. While the owners of RKKS hail from MP, the stars of the show here are the Rajasthani delicacies that you can't find anywhere else in the greater NYC region. One of my all-time favorite such dishes is gatte ki sabzi, a besan "gnocchi" that was prepared to perfection here. While I have often sung the praises of Bihar's litti chokha, its Rajasthani cousin, dal baati, has grown on me tremendously after having the decadent preparation here. Baati's main differentiator is that it is prepared without sattu (roasted gram flour) in the center, and instead derives more of its flavor from dal poured over it. The dal here was soupy and rich with ghee, and paired with the tangy achaar on the side over the baatis, the dish was to die for. Note that you have to separately order churma, a traditional dry sweet pairing for the dish. The kadhi was our other favorite part of the meal. The rich flavor of the dahi came through in every bite. read more

Wanted to try something different...I feel like unfortunately we end up eating the same food from the same places just on different days of the week haha I have seen Ruby's several times on my way to Nicks Meat Depot so I decided we should give it a try. I havent had Indian cuisine in a very long time...Last time I had butter chicken I think it was from Curry In A Hurry in NYC or perhaps a frozen meal from Trader Joes...but...getting back to the review...Ruby's is a cute restaurant on the corner of Amboy Ave. The decor envelopes you in Indian culture from the decorations on the wall to the tables/table settings, and music. The menu is big with everything including meat and vegetarian options. We got Samosas (they are huge), the Tava Stuffed Chicken Paratha, Butter Chicken w/ basmati rice, Garlic Naan, Aam Panna (mango water), Mango Lassi, and Gulab Jamun for dessert. Everything was super delicious. Such a feel good comfort meal. The food was spicy but not uncomfortably so. The butter chicken was so creamy and the sauce was perfect for dipping my naan into. Service was good as well. We were the only ones in the restaurant as it was a kind of in between time around 4:30 pm on Sunday...the food came out in a very reasonable time and our waitress was hospitable and very pleasant. We def will be back to try other items from the menu for sure! read more

Ruby Ke Kitchen Se - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Ambience, food quality, food quantity and service (we pre ordered) everything amazing.

If you're in Brunswick side of New Jersey state, you must visit this utterly delicious restaurant called "Ruby ke Kitchen se". Chef Ruby is there to make sure you'll enjoy every bite of delicacies she's going to serve and you'll end up licking your fingers. The hunger satisfaction is one hundred percent. Ruby is very active, a food enthusiast and run so many chores in parallel. She hosts cooking classes and meditation center. She is orginally from Madhya Pradesh state and now that's the biggest reason for such amazingly delicious food. Hum Madhya Pradesh walo ki baat hi alag hai khane ko lekar. Swadisht aur zabardast. Coming to food part, after checking out the menu, we were not able to control our emotions and hunger. We started with Kachori and it just wow. Well cooked and served hot. For the main course we ordered, Makke ki Roti and Sarso da saag, and I can tell you this was the best. In the past few years I had this delightful taste. Incomparable to any place in the USA so far. We ordered Dhaba dal, besan gatte and chapati. This is usually the Rajasthani cuisine that one must try and believe me you'll end up loving this dish. Specially Dhaba dal was flavorsome. Now coming to the worthiest meal for the night - "DAL BAATI", for us Madhya Pradesh people this particular food preparation is an emotion. It has to be prepared in the way it is meant to be and there is no compromise. I was completely surprised and was happiest to the core when it was served. That aroma was next level and there was an instant foodgasm haha. A must must try food item on the menu. Again, I would like to thank Ruby and her entire staff for hosting us and serving the excellent food. Can't wait to visit again this beautiful Rajasthani ambience and try out rest of the items on the menu. Keep up the fantastic work and keep serving us more. Cheers, Amey read more

The food is beyond five star. The owner herself cooks dishes to order. The flavors taste and hand made decor take you on a journey as if you're in India. read more

Happened to come across this super cozy spot while in town for a convention. Hit all the right buttons for our Indian cuisine craving that day. But the highlight was definitely the veg pakora. Not only is it a great starter but it lasted us the whole meal and complemented everything else we were eating. The butter chicken was also fantastic and was big enough for 2 (which we almost didn't ask about at the time of ordering, and would've been a big leftover problem)! With the side of rice, garlic naan & pickled onions, it was the perfect serving size... and plenty of "bonus" sauce left for the pakora. Service was a little on the slower side but I feel like it's a tight ship here and everyone was so nice that it wasn't a deal breaker at all. Not sure what it would be like if it was a peak meal time but our visit was solid and highly recommend a try. read more

Ruby Ke Kitchen Se - Veg Pakora - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Based on their unique menu, I really wanted to try the food however didn't have much time so decided a takeout might be better, one thing I didn't realized is they are way out from oak tree road, the Indian diaspora of restaurants and stores. It took me a good 15 mins on a rainy Friday, thankfully they had kept the food ready. I wanted to try rajasthani food : gatte ki subji, dal baati and rogan josh mutton (Kashmir though) The baati was a bit soft than I expected and lacked a bit of ghee, but dal was tasty though greasy, gatte ki sabji was amazing and so was the mutton/goat though it was a bit over cooked as the meat disintegrated a bit? Overall good taste, not typical Indian but some good dishes to try, a bit greasy and expensive. With taxes my bill was 80$ plus for a takeout! They have a beautiful interior and also cooking classes probably next time! read more

Ambiance is nicely cultured, setup implies they have provide dine in service. However when we went, we were told we have to call in and order ahead of time. in a saturated area of south Asian restaurants that provide dine in and takeout, calling ahead to order for dine in which requires some pre-planning is why I've reduced the stars. Not sure if the storefront is just so they can have a commercial grade kitchen for catering orders, but then don't put a sign out that says you're open. Such a put off to walk into a place and be told "oh you have to call ahead and place order for dine in". Even the fancy and five star establishments don't do that. Food was pretty good, but definitely not great enough to warrant this method of dine-in service. read more

We love the food - Kachori sabji , chole bhature, chai, paneer tikka masala. A little costly but worth celebration of my niece home coming

Ruby's is a beautiful restaurant with festive and rustic touches. Our party loved all the the entire ambiance down to the traditional steel dishes, cups, and bowls. We ordered a number of dishes, all to share. The tandoori chicken was spicy and delicious. I missed the sizzling platter that this is usually served in. We also ordered the paneer tikka and I liked the unique flavor, like an achar or pickle, but it missed the mark. It was room temperature and not nice and soft. Other dishes we tried were the chicken kharahi, methi mutter, dhabbey dal, roti, Lacha pharata, and naan. The standouts here was the dal, smooth with simple flavors, and the chicken which had a beautiful color and tasty curry cooked with onions and peppers. It should've had less oil though. The cream in the mutter methi really drowned out the flavor. The breads were good but would've liked them to be warmer. Gulab jamun for dessert was huge, delicious and served nice and hot. The service got the job done but with some hiccups along the way. I think we had a new waiter so might be understandable. Overall, Ruby had good food in a beautiful restaurant but if we went back we'd try some different things. read more

What a gem of a place. Went with a group of nine, six of which were Indian. We had so much food I cannot remember all of what we had. The Chilli Chicken was my favorite. Of all the naan variations we shared, I liked the Garlic Naan the best. I do not particularly like goat, but it was prepared with just the right amount of spiciness and it was very tender. The shaved fresh carrot, almond dessert was vey good. I could have done without the salty drink, but at least I tried it. Clean and tastefully decorated for the holiday season. Most anyone would enjoy the festive atmosphere. Our servers were very nice and pleasant. read more

The service was wonderful, the owner of the place was so kinda and had a nice conversation with us. The ambiance of the place is really beautiful and really adds to the theme. The food was delicious, definitely worth the wait. I definitely recommend the butter chicken/basmati rice w naan bread. So much flavor. read more

More Than a Restaurant: a Place That Inspires One To Grow Expertise in Indian Food and Geography .

Yellow splashes throughout. Find an interesting menu of diners, especially one very friendly, happy, steadily smiling Indian family at the table next to ours. Food arrives at a well-measured, enticing pace. Yes, we wait for the food but each moment and each dish delivery holds rich value. Ruby is a living library of Indian food. Visit it again and again to learn all it presents and to read and learn all about the quasi infinite Indian cuisine. Ruby is an excellent place for diners who want to "major" in Indian cuisine but are far from expert right now. Taste and study the various dishes and, if possible, bring a connoisseur friend to help you out. It may be an exciting ongoing experience. Ruby's offers cooking classes for all ages and cooking stages to learn, perhaps, many dimensions of Indian food and geography. We experienced Gatte ki sebei, a kind of gnocchi; Daal bassi ciurma; paneer tikka, and kadhi pakera, creamy and flavorful. Vegetables are tasty, fresh. Below find not a full, complete history of the food and regions but exploration of just one taste we experienced. Kadhi Pakora is a popular Punjabi dish consisting of pakoras (fritters) served in a creamy and delicious yogurt sauce known as Kadhi'. It is usually eaten with chawal (rice) but also goes well with naan or Tandoori Rot. Chickpea flour balls (pakoras) are cooked with yogurt and usually eaten with rice (chawal). Food historians trace the origins of kadhi to Rajasthan (Northwestern India), largest state by area in India. Punjabi is one language of Rajasthan. To use up excess milk, home cooks would often separate it into butter and buttermilk, and the resulting buttermilk is then used to make kadhi. Over time Kadhi Pakora traveled to Gujarat (690 kilometers) and Sindh (912 kilometers) regions of South Asia. Some use pakoras, some use veggies. Kadhi is a traditional Indian gravy made with yogurt.Some, however, make it with buttermilk, some with yogurt. It is commonly paired with "chawal" or rice. It is cooked in different ways in different parts of India. Learn more from Ruby Ke Kitchen Se's cooking universe: see and explore Indian regions and foods beyond on your own before each visit.

Food is a notch above the rest, decor is great BUT. The service is HORRIBLE! They should put some energy in improving service otherwise, it won't last too long. Would hate to see a good effort go to waste... I will definitely look at other options in the area before walking back in. read more

Exceeded all expectations and easily one of the best Indian restaurants anywhere! This is what home and family cooking in India tastes like - balanced on spice, fresh ingredients and delicious. The Chef has a process of making everything from first principles so please expect a slightly longer wait time ( but the food is well worth the wait ). There are items on the menu that I have not had since the 1980s - especially the Dal Bhaati, and the Gatte ki Sabji. Super complex dishes that I never thought I would eat at a restaurant in North America. The Chef's special Nani ke Aloo ( potatoes e la grandma) was simple and fantastic. The Gulab Jamun was made right there and I could tell it was made just for us and on that day. The breads we had were all 100% wheat. This Restaurant is a passion project and the owners/staff have made sincere efforts to share the diversity of Indian cuisine. Due to the Chef's style, all portions are Huge. I was floored by the Chef's openness and humility to share her philosophy and process. The place is BYOB and there is a liquor store nearby. Prices are slightly higher but the larger portions are well worth the price and the ingredients are far superior. read more

Food is excellent, but the they over promise, there's no such thing as a quick bite to eat here. Prior to leaving, I made it clear that if they knew the food would take so long, just let us know. We waited 40 minutes after ordering for our food to arrive. With young children, this was completely unacceptable. read more

I will start with the positive; the ambiance at Ruby's is beautiful and really cool. I also like that they teach Indian cooking classes here, that's a nice concept and I wish more restaurants would provide these classes because I think it's a fun way to learn a new skill or cuisine with friends. The food was good, if I'd never had Indian food before I would have thought it was great. However, the prices are insane. I only wanted a small meal and read that the meals are mostly family style, I saw the prices and thought the portions must be huge (for example, $7 for regular basmati rice nothing added to it), so I decided to just get one of my favorite appetizers- chili paneer, and some garlic naan. I figured if I had a ton left over I could share with friends I was seeing later on. The garlic naan was $6, I thought I was getting more than the usual 2 at this price, maybe 3? Maybe even 4?! I was excited. When I picked up my food the bag was lighter than expected. What I received was a standard size portion for both my naan and chili paneer. This might fly in another town far from the Edison/Carteret area, but no way should you be pricing this that high when I can go 10 miles and get better Indian food for a cheaper price. I would have likely spent more if the prices were more reasonable. There was no way I was paying $7 for plain basmati rice, that's insane. Also when I came to pick up my food, the person working there came out but barely acknowledged me. If you are overcharging me so much, at least thank me for paying your rent (I'm assuming location/proximity to Metuchen may be the reason the pricing is like this, I'm sure rent is not cheap, and I AM sensitive to that.. and also.. 7 DOLLARS FOR A PORTION OF PLAIN RICE?!) Bottom line, the pricing killed this place for me. I loved the ambiance and the location is super convenient for a lunch spot, but I'd rather just drive further to my favorite Indian restaurant on rt 27, where they are very friendly, the food is FIRE and the prices are much more reasonable! I'd rather pay for great food than great ambiance/location. read more

Really enjoyed the veg pakoras we only tried the a couple of apps this time looking forward to going to this neighborhood joint more often.

We have been to Ruby's kitchen 3 times and have not been disappointed even once. I would highly recommend their khasta kachori. The ambience is very nice and the staff is very polite. Only thing is it takes them too long to bring the food to the table but I guess that's because they make everything fresh and if you have reservations it gets a little quick. read more

Ruby Ke Kitchen Se - Paneer Tikka - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Food was excellent. Great service and very courteous host. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

The most incredible northern Indian food in Edison... perhaps all of the tri-state area even. Family owned and operated. Served in traditional dinnerware so beautiful and interesting, your eyes will be just as satiated as your hunger. The price points are excellent and the portions are large, family style. Couldn't recommend enough. Grateful to have been seated on a busy day despite not having reservations. Go see for yourself and definitely get the chilli paneer! read more

Ruby Ke Kitchen Se - Chilli paneer - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

We live hours from even decent Indian these days. Twice in the last month life has taken us through NJ on the turnpike; and through a little serendipity we found RKKS and can honestly a say it's some of the best authentic Indian food we've ever had. You can get many dishes by the catering tray, and I'm deeply tempted to bring a cooler next time and take it 7 hours home to divvy up and freeze. The chili paneer - a dish I've avoided for years bc it's so commonly vinegary and meh - is a revelation of ginger, scallion, crispy cheese and a little fire. Here's hoping the pandemic wanes soon and the cooking school takes off. If Anthony Bourdain were around I'd be tweeting at him to shower some attention on Ruby Ke Kitchen Se. read more

Just too much damn oil in the food, but this is a problem with most Indian restaurants nowadays, at least in my experience

Ruby Ke Kitchen Se - Dhaba Daal,Butter Chicken, paneer makhni, Bharwa Baigan - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Very cute restaurant ambiance with great Indian decor. Food is great! We had kabab, butter chicken and kadi pakora. Everything was very well made. And mango lassi is one of the best I've had at an Indian restaurant. Food has a home cooked touch which is great. Its very fresh and made to order so it can take a while to get ur food. If you are in a rush then probably this place won't serve your purpose. But otherwise it's a great place to come and enjoy good dinner with friends / family with kids too! We missed masala chai last time as we were in a bit of rush but next time for sure! Must visit,, read more

I called on November 18th to make reservations for December 9th which a lady gladly took. I called today since we are party of 12 to reconfirm to find out its closed til December 19th. Totally unprofessional, would have appreciated a call back letting me know that they are closed. read more

stopped in here on a dreary rainy Saturday for lunch. Partner had chicken korma (tasty flavorful dark meat) and I had dhaba dal..... The food is NOT inexpensive but it is very skillfully made and there is no skimping on the spices or the main ingredients. This restaurant is really pretty inside- the restrooms are pretty!; the tables are curio boxes with lights (should be featured in a design magazine). We arrived at a down time and had very attentive speedy service. read more

This is a charming little place with some authentic and delicious Indian food. We called ahead to confirm that they were open (thanks, COVID) and were glad that not only were the open, they even had outdoor seating! We picked up Goat Curry, Chicken Saag, Baigan Bharta, Dal and Shahi Paneer with some rotis. All the dishes were tasty, especially the chicken saag and baigan barta. Food aside, the place was warm and welcoming. I would most likely drop-in again if I happen to be in the area. Highly recommended! read more

The food takes a lot of time to get to the table . When we asked for the reason we were told that everything is made from scratch that's y ! But sadly it did not taste that way. One of the dish we ordered was Palak paneer and I can vouch that my husband who is a novice in cooking can make better palak paneer than what was served . The mango lassi was good though . read more

I would give them 10 stars if I could! Absolutely the most amazing Indian food, especially the butter chicken and goat curry. I live close enough to smell the cooking and it never fails to make my mouth water. The owner is so friendly, she always makes me feel welcome and the restaurant is gorgeous, always spotless and such an inviting atmosphere. I know people complain about the wait time, but it's pretty much a one woman show! How she can do it and still crank out the most delicious food is admirable. Well worth any wait. read more

I wouldn't even give it one star. Went here for lunch, waited for 1.5 hours even after pre ordering the food before we went there. They make you pre order the food and then you still get to spend hours waiting for it. The food tasted horrible. Yes horrible is the only word I have. And top that they added 18 percent gratuity for a table of 4 already to the bill. Will never come back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more
