What a refreshing and rare find! We stopped on our way back to get some dinner, and the food exceeded our expectations. We ordered Pongal, Ghee Podi Idli, Punugulu and some coffee. Everything tasted fresh, homemade and the flavours took us back to India. I loved every dish, and their Ghee Podi Idli was my absolute favorite. I found their sambhar to be much more refreshing than the regular variants you get in the states. The owner of the place is also really kind, and that care shows in the preparation of the food and service.
I urge you to try this place. You won’t be disappointed! Definitely recommend.

We were traveling to Nashville from Louisville and stopped looking for a place where our 2.5-year-old could eat something simple and comforting. We couldn’t find many suitable options nearby, so I called Ruchi Indian Cuisine—and I’m so glad I did.
The staff was incredibly kind and understanding. When I explained that we needed food for a toddler, they happily offered to make a custom dal specially for our baby. That gesture alone meant so much to us.
When the food arrived, the dal and rice were absolutely perfect—fresh, mild, and full of flavor. Most importantly, our baby loved it and ate everything happily, which is no small thing when traveling with a toddler!
This place truly cares about its customers, and that level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us. Amazing food, wonderful people, and a heartfelt experience. Highly recommend, especially for families traveling with kids.

The place is in a food garage and meant for take away and delivery. But the lady allow us to sit and eat their only as being a tourist, we don’t want to take food to hotel room. Surprisingly, the food was exceptionally tasty and hygienic. It was warm, freshly cooked and perfect for our taste. The vegetable biryani, kheer, daal, roti, Puri, alu ki sabji, everything was well cooked and served freshly. It was wonderful experience to eat such flavoured and mildly spicy food in USA.. reminding true Andhra style preparation. Keep good work going.

We ordered South Indian veg thali, ghee idly.
The ghee idly was amazing and the South Indian thali was really good. The naan
and curry were nice and creamy, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful.
We’re visiting for a week, and this has been the best food we’ve had so far. Definitely recommend this place!

I got it delivered to my hotel in downtown Nashville. My food arrived warm and with care. I found everything to be very tasty, especially the Idli, Vada, Uthappam, and Sambar. The delivery person was polite and called me from the lobby. Even the restaurant called me to let me know the delivery person was there. I found them to be very caring people, and I enjoyed the experience. I would definitely order again on my next visit.

The staff were very welcoming, they generously offered me to have the food there though it’s a take away restaurant as I was on my way to another place. The food was fresh and served hot. Would recommend Thali, and the dosa was good too!
