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.

I'm so happy to have found Ruggles Black. I am gluten and dairy free and there are so many delicious options. Regular eaters who have eaten there with me love the food as well. The atmosphere is very fun. Wait staff are fabulous. The owner came out to greet us and to make sure we were happy. I will go back often.

We were crammed to a table that required people to crawl out the side of back of the table. The bench setting was not good for large parties. We were there to celebrate my mother’s 83rd birthday. She and I both ordered steaks. My steak came out with everyone else food (7 total). We all ate and finished eating but we were still waiting for my mom’s steak. The waitress kept saying 4 more minutes. More than 35 minutes passed before her steak finally got to the table. They did comp her meal but you can imagine the frustration. I felt bad because everyone was there based on my recommendation. She did order her ny strip well done by that is not more than a 5-8 minute additional cook. Still unclear what happened. Everyone kept saying the kitchen was slammed but we all ordered at the same time.

We were seating in the patio around 6:45 pm. After we were seated, an extremely bright parking light in the driveway was blinding us. We asked the server if they could seat us in another section away from the bright light. It’s way too bright and way too close to the patio. Several guests around us said they thought they were being interrogated under the bright lights.

The food and service was incredible! Jose was amazing! This is a favorite Houston restaurant of ours. We enjoy eating outside because of the atmosphere and a little quieter scene. And then the bright stadium lights came on from next-door and ruined the mood. not sure why this was added.

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Great menu options. The only problem was that the background music was louder than we would like and it was very cold inside. Otherwise a top notch restaurant with a great chef.
