👍👍 As an English customer with a Lithuanian girlfriend, I have been to many restaurants in Lithuania and UK but I can honestly say the food here is the best!! I loved every dish and every drink. The meal came with excellent customer service too! You can't go wrong with Ruta. I encourage English people... People often mention Lithuanian, service, Ruta,

    Huge portions for very reasonable prices. Was very pleased with service, the waitress spoke fluently in English, Russian and Lithuanian. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Not to mention great playlist of Lithuanian songs!

    When we arrived ( prebooked) we were welcomed with a warm greeting, the interior was lovely, the food was absolutely amazing, definitely worth the money. Unfortunately the portion was too big for us but we were able to have the remainders boxed up to take with us. Highly recommend. Amazing food and amazing service.

    Just paid for my meal but can't wait to write this review. It's a quiet day when we came in. But the service was outstanding. The food is amazing and portions are quite big too. So good Value too. Can't recommend this place enough. A must visit. Parking available on aire St which is free on Sundays.

    Never had Lithuanian food before. Will absolutely be having it again though! Everything was absolutely delicious, well cooked and reasonably priced. The side vegetables were especially flavourful, the pickled cabbage was flavoured with dill which turns out is a fantastic combination. Finally the honey cake was delightful. Somehow achieving the combination of being very sweet and rich while also being quite light. We'll be returning soon!

    First time having Lithuanian food and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we asked for suggestions. The desserts were the best we’ve had in a long time. And the cherry beer was right up our street. Will be coming here again soon. Thanks Ruta team!

    Lovely place, stayed in area for weekend and was so happy to find Lithuanian restaurant, which is very similar to our traditional food. Place is very clean, food is fresh, fast service, massive portions and affordable prices. Shame don't live close would come back to try zeppelins. Felt like at home. Thank you 😊

    Polite and friendly owner and staff. They took care of our pre-order and all pre-arrangements, also during the visit. Everything was as planned. Food was tasty and came in big portions, even starters. Live music on the day was great. We enjoyed and we are recommending. Thank you

    Nice place where to have dinner with good service. Only issue for me what i seen was price, because if you visiting this place, just get ready for a bit high price for food/ beverages. For the atmosphere and design price do not match, as you could go for decent stake house and have same or even less expensive meal. But overall you can have nice meal there, just be ready for expensive experience.

    Ruta Restaurant is a Lithuanian restaurant located in Castleford, West Yorkshire. The restaurant is known for its authentic Lithuanian cuisine, which is made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The menu features a variety of dishes, including soups, salads, main courses, and desserts. I recently visited Ruta Restaurant with my girlfriend and we were very impressed with the food. We started with the cold beetroot soup, which was creamy and flavorful. For our main courses, we had the pork schnitzel and the potato pancake. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and were very satisfying. For dessert, we had the napoleon cake, which was light and flaky. We also enjoyed the wine list at Ruta Restaurant. The restaurant has a selection of Lithuanian and Georgian wines, which are all very reasonably priced. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Ruta Restaurant. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the service was excellent. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Lithuanian cuisine

    Lovely food and prompt service. We had dumplings and chicken schnitzel which was delicious. And the Lithuanian wheat beer was also very nice. Will definitely return

    Well first of all it's overpriced place to eat. Before we went in there i had high expectations because that's how i remember our country food. So ordered kebabs for and pork schnitzel with cheese and cold barshch. Well got really disappointed because the only good food was schnitzel,kebab hardly had any meat and no flavor, not even sauce had flavor, i really couldn't understand for what i payed that £13 when corner kebab shop does better for £3 🤦‍♀️

😠 Poor uncared-for motorway services. Very poor road directional signage on site. I drove past the narrow turning into the car park, inadvertently ended up at the petrol station. When finally going into the main building... I open the first of two doors into the toilets, and I was instantly hit with...
