Mixing all these ingredients is so exciting for Houston’s wonder-Chef Bruce Molzan and his partner Neera Patidar! The concept and food at Ruggles Black is modern and fun: a fusion pushing Indian, Asian, and American flavors to whole new boundaries in terms of taste, but keeping it accessible in terms of price. Ruggles Black is THE place to be for conscious eating foodies, as Bruce “The King of Paleo” cooks his amazingly delicious treats with local ingredients from farmers, while embracing the Paleo principles.

    We love the Ruggles Black menu! Delicious menu items, expertly prepared. For the first time, we were quite disappointed with the service. We waited and waited for our server. He finally came. On 3 occasions we had to ask for our waiter as we could not even see him on the floor. We will return because we love it. Will be looking to avoid this server, though.

    I thought I had changed the Open Table reservation to 3 people but that was not what the restaurant had. We ended up with a high top table in the Bar. We had to wait for menus and the service was a bit slower than usual - it was a busy night. However the food was a always AMAZING!!

    Good food, great service but a little loud in the restaurant. Desserts were out of this world. Overall, had a great time.

    I love that they have a keto menu, but I wish it actually had a carb count on it. The scallops appetizer was delicious, as were the keto tenderloin tacos that I had as my main. My son ordered the asian seared tuna which he said was very good and it came with a nice side of roasted vegetables. Our server, Jose, was fantastic. Everything was timed perfectly and he checked back often enough to be great, but not too often to be an annoyance. He just knew.

    Absolutely love this restaurant, highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal. Been multiple times and always leave wanting to come back to try more dishes. The menu is health conscious with a huge variety. Ordered based off of our server Jose recommendations and he was spot on. Dessert is to die for, especially the cheesecake which my husband claims is his favorite ever! You won’t be disappointed. Something for everyone.
