   So pleased I read the reviews beforehand as on passing we may have walked on by, but this was definitely one of our best eating out experiences of the year. The food is freshly prepared and served and is simply delicious, the staff are incredibly welcoming, the coffee is great, just an all round lovely place to eat and we will definitely be returning. Cannot recommend highly enough - and I've not even mentioned value for money, which is totally amazing.

   Not familiar with Mediterranean food, I let them know and they talked me through the menu. I had a lamb Shawarma. My son tried one too. They were awesome. Food is of very high quality. Surroundings are not fancy but fine. The people that work there are very engaged and friendly, so it has a nice atmosphere. If you like outstanding, healthy food at a good price, definitely worth a try. I’ll be going back for sure.

   This lunchtime I went to Ruth’s kitchen and purchased a take away Falafel Mezze box. I was already a little alarmed by the less than tidy food preparation area, broken glass/perspex in the salad counter and seemingly zero hand hygiene - sadly by this time I’d already paid. Ensuring I don’t get food poisoning is pretty high on my agenda at the moment. So when I returned to my office to find literally 10s of human hairs in my food I was absolutely appalled and beyond incensed. In my hunger I ate one falafel without even looking, disappointingly before my partner noticed atheist first hair poking out of one of the others in the box. Upon further inspection I found lots. I split one in half to find I had literally been sold falafels FULL of thick, cut, black deep fried hair. I retuned the box, they told me it “must just be a mistake”. They claimed it must have been the girl making the salad who was off work today and that they had an EXCELLENT reputation. which I can see from the swathes of positivity in the other reviews. Regardless, there is no excuse that could explain away the volume of bodily matter in the mezze box. I appreciate mistakes happen, and I accept one or two stray hairs, but it was like someone had their hair cut into the falafel mix. I genuinely believe this establishment should be condemned until there are reasonable efforts to serve clean food from a clean environment.

   Absolutely delicious, Everything freshly cooked to order, I had the Shawarma Lamb Wrap with everything on it and my son had Falafel Wrap with everything on it. HUGE portions. The bread is soft and doughy and the filling cooked to perfection. Flavour sensation and the best wrap I have tasted in a long time. Authentic, Fantastic people and defo coming back for more. Thanks for bringing your cuisine to Norwich, Highly Recommend xx

   Ruth’s Kitchen is my favourite place to eat in Norwich by far!! I’ve been many times for lunch and it’s always amazing. Equally great for a sit-down lunch with friends or for a quick takeaway. Fresh ingredients, fast service, brilliant staff and very generous portions. Today we had the shakshuka which had incredible depth of flavour. Beats all the shakshukas I have tried in London restaurants! They have different specials each time I go, a nice drinks selection and sweet bites for after like tahini cookies. Everything is proper fresh and homemade. Check it out!

   Authentic Jerusalem street food within the city walls of Norwich. Owners are always so welcoming, very knowledgeable and proud to explain what is on their menu and to show you the special spices they import directly from Golan Heights. The falafel is lovely, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, in a dish it is combined with hummus of outstanding flavour. Then comes the great selection of pickles including gherkins, tiny pattypans, peppers and cabbage to name a few. Fresh salad features on the plate too, spicy sauces all add to create loads of flavour. Just sublime. Mint and lemon tea is a must to complete the authentic experience. If falafel is not your thing you can always try the chicken schnitzel, lamb, shakshuka, kofte, shawarma and Za’atar. There is always a good selection of cakes, vegan ones too. I love coming here for a healthy and tasty bite to eat.
