Village restaurant taken over by award winning Indian restaurateur

Mukesh Tirkoti, a renowned Indian restaurateur, co-founder of Tapasya and owner of Ruthvika Spices and Kitchen, has acquired the premises of the former Medici restaurant on High Street in North Ferriby.

The team is introducing tasting menus that cater for a range of dietary preferences including vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians and meat lovers.

The restaurant will also offer afternoon teas and unique Indian desserts.

Tirkoti said: “I was excited to see the venue has become available and jumped at the chance to bring the Indian fine dining experience to North Ferriby. Ruthvika already enjoys an excellent reputation amongst Indian cuisine aficionados. We have created something unique with a fine dining experience, from plant to plate the commitment of Ruthvika Spices & Kitchen is to source and serve the finest quality spices, direct from India.

“As the Goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom and learning, Ruthvika represents a new concept restaurant. The dishes combine expert knowledge of Indian food and learnings from the best restaurants around the world, with a twist on health and nutrition from traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

“The best thing I can do for the restaurant is unleash chefs and kitchen support staff, giving them freedom and support to experiment and explore the huge range of ingredients and spice blends that haven’t even been thought possible in Indian cuisine. We employ the best people and will be guided by their knowledge, experience and creativity, rather than the other way around.”

Ruthivka Spices and Kitchen will open in the village on 5th September.
