The Ruby

A fabulous takeaway that specializes in Chinese, Thai and Malaysian food. Located on the main Stratford road, opposite Waitrose, it is easy to locate and access. Service is fairly quick, and the delicious smells that radiate from the kitchen kick start your appetite. Prices are standard and on par with most takeaway restaurants. Most dishes are around £5, not including sides. Minimum spend is £8 on card, otherwise cash only. If like me you don’t carry cash often, then you can pay by card for a surcharge of 50p. Telephone orders are welcome with a minimum delivery order of £8. The service is friendly, however I felt i was put under pressure to quickly decide what i wanted. I ordered Chicken with Chinese straw mushrooms and King prawns and mushrooms, with fried rice. The food however is more than delicious, and very satisfying. Portions are good also. Set menu options are available if your ordering for up to four people. I recommend this place based on the food. It really is delightful.
