I got a naan melt, and now I’m wondering why I waited so long to try Indian food. If you’re new to Indian food and don’t know what to get the workers are happy to help you out. Great food, excellent service, clean restaurant! Highly recommend stopping by!!!

Wow, is the food here good! There was no wait when I arrived, and I asked the employee working for a recommendation. The Yogi grilled naan sandwich is flavorful, colorful, and bountiful. The prices seemed a bit high but this will be two meals for me, no problem. The place was clean, sparsely decorated but not empty-feeling, and had a handful of tables. Packaging is mostly compostable paper products. I'm really glad I went and will definitely go back!

I ordered from Rutas on Postmates two times now and I feel like the food is really tasty. The food came really fast. So in terms of service they were ready to go. I've never been there in person so I can't speak to the ambiance or vibes. I gobbled their food down both times, but for some reason my stomach is rumbling and churning. This happened to me on the first time and I thought there was just some acid reflux or some spice not sitting right. Everything looks good and tastes fresh. This time the chicken was a tiny bit pink but not so pink it became inedible. I don't know why my stomach is churning... they have great reviews...? I probably won't order anymore now. I don't have a weak stomach, and I love spicy food. I eat these same spices at home all the time. So why should my stomach rumble? It's making me feel scared because what could be going on?

Absolutely love Ruta’s! The food is very fresh and you can tell the recipes are made by someone who loves to cook and share their culture. The concept of Ruta’s is also very original. I’ve never had Indian food like this before. Highly recommend it!Also - Ruta wrote a cookbook that she sells in the restaurant. The recipes are incredible, and she also sells the spices that she uses in the cookbook dishes. I’ve been swooning over the cookbook after looking through it while waiting for my fresh garlic naan.Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free, dairy free, peanut free, and vegan options!

Came for lunch today… first visit ever! Ruta’s is going straight into my restaurant rotation for lunches. The vegetables were SENSATIONAL. Please, I’m begging you, get the Turmeric Carrots. And the Beets. And the pickled Onions. AND THE COCONUT SLAW. Get everything. It’s all delicious.There’s probably 10 tables or so inside to sit and eat. Decor is “meh”, but that’s not what anyone is here for. Really can’t recommend this place highly enough. Big fan.

I love this spot! The food is so fresh and you can customize your bowl any way you like. If you need help deciding or would like to sample a sauce, the employees are so helpful. Such a quick stop if you're looking to take out, also have some indoor and outdoor seating.

Ruta's is is a great lunch spot to get a quick meal for the day. They have signature bowls for options and make your own bowl as well. I got the chicken mirchi quinoa bowl. I was surprised by the price of a bowl for the amount of food you get. The flavors in this bowl are okay but I definitely would have loved some spice. The garlic naan was great. Wear layers in colder months as the heat was quite low, granted it was 0° today outside. The masala chai was alright but not my favorite. Service was quick and staff was kind.
