This place has been hyped up recently and after tasting the food it’s easy to see why.

It did take a while for the food to get to us but, it was freshly prepared and that is something I don’t mind waiting for.

The prawn bunny was the best I’ve had. The chutney tasted like it was made with real tomatoes. Prawns were plump and juicy and although I would have liked a few more prawns the portion was adequate.

The mutton bunny was just as good. The quantity of meat was a bit less but the curry was delicious and it hit the spot.

The Snack platter was also very good.

Service was a bit chaotic. It seemed like it was the owners trying to juggle everything between themselves. Hiring some help with the service would go a long way. I’m sure it’s something they are working.

Will definitely recommend and will back again.

Absolutely divine food. Best Prawn bunny, lamb curry and calamari we've eaten in along time. Lovely airy venue overlooking the ocean. Super friendly service. Awesome experience and highly recommended.

After coming back to SA. I just had to get myself a prawns bunny. Perfect, delicious and made absolutely fresh. Excellent quality and service. The place is clean and the staff are so accommodating. If your looking for a good prawns bunny Ruyciana is the place to be. Perfect view perfect atmosphere and perfect ventilation. Your food is served piping hot and straight from the pot. Well done Ruciyana

While Ruciyana may have good food, their service doesn’t seem to match. They are understaffed, NEVER answer their phone and are seldom open for business. I’ve been disappointed on more than one occasion when arriving at their restaurant just to discover that they are closed (even though their operating times on Google say otherwise). Extremely disappointing especially since they have one of the best bunnies I’ve ever tasted. Their service and reliability let them down.

Would really like to see better from them.

Without a chance to eat the food, we were abruptly told that we needed a reservation. However, the restaurant had an occupancy rate of less than 5%. We were a party of 10, however we were told they could only help with take aways. I am very disgusted with the service, and would not even factor in the quality of food. Cannot believe in today's time and age, a restaurant can choose to turn away so many customers. Look for alternatives, would recommend the owners train and restructure their business policies, because it is disappointing.

We were not awarded the opportunity to even eat at the restaurant as we were turned away for being a party of 10. The restaurant was empty, with only 2 tables occupied and numerous were vacant. That service and reception alone was pathetic, to turn away customers looking for food but were willing to serve us as takeaways. As much as we heard good reviews about this restaurant, I'll give them a 0/5 for service and would never return to even try their food.
