About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Healthy
Good for special occasions

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.

One of my favorite Houston places. My husband and I usually share several appetizers, typically the fried oysters with the caviar and the curried butternut squash soup along with one or two other others. We also indulge in the avocado chocolate mousse as well. oh and the drinks are terrific! Love the spicy jalapeño cucumber martini!

We had a great experience celebrating a friends birthday. Our server, Michael, was the best. He was very attentive, and he made perfect recommendations. We will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items.

Food was great, exciting options for sure. Very loud though and even though I made a reservation we were put at a long table that made it difficult to talk to everyone around. Especially because of how loud it was around us. Still a great meal, and I imagine sitting in the booths would be pleasant.

With so many choices I spent time reviewing the menu before heading to the restaurant in order to plan my meal. Was disappointed that neither of my selections from their website menu were actually available on the menu at the restaurant. Was looking forward to trying the short rib pizza with blueberry compote. Nope. Also, wanted to try the keto carbonara pasta. Also nope. Luckily they had some new menu items that sounded equally interesting and turned out to be quite tasty and a great value. As always, save room for dessert. The choices are mind blowing.
