Black Ruby: Thai Craft Burger and Dining

This is a flavor of Thai food you would never found anywhere else in the area. You can tell on how they really delicate with their recipes with the new flavor profile. We ordered 2 appetizers 2 burgers and 2 pasta. Everything was so good. I would say it was a generous size of patty. It will make you filled for a while. I would recommend everybody to stop by before it gets too crowded which it will be 😎

Great atmosphere on the dimmer side, but really sets a vibe. The food was amazing. The burgers were nicely made to be medium with a great balance of being cooked while maintaining a good amount of juiciness. We really liked the green curry pasta that was a perfect balance of spicy and flavor, though the meat was nicely made it could have used a bit more flavor as a standalone, but was great when mixed with the curry. The Tom koh and cod pasta had a good amount of flavor, but we preferred the green curry, I would definitely recommend trying it. The Thai tea deserts were delicious and the honey mango sherbet was also pretty good, but felt overall undermelming when compared. The coconut coffee was surprisingly very delicious and sweet. The service was amazing despite being super busy with a nearly packed restaurant and only 2 servers on shift. We never felt like we had to wait for any service like water refills, check ins, or getting our bill. They were very friendly and even took time to communicate with customers for recommendations and just some light chatting. Overall, enjoyed our visit and definitely coming back again.

Holy smokes! I came here with not much expectations and walked away totally blown away! This cozy Thai inspired craft burger and pasta fusion restaurant has so many innovative dishes that makes you craving for more! I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! THIS IS A MUST VISIT!

Had dinner at Black Ruby last night, and I have to say—it was easily the best pasta I’ve had in the Boston/Cambridge area. The flavors in the sauces were absolutely incredible—rich, well-balanced, and downright drool-worthy. Can’t wait to go back and try their burgers next! A small note on the experience: while the food was top-notch, the service could have been smoother. The restaurant was packed, and it seemed like they were short-staffed, which made it difficult for one person to manage everything efficiently. As for the green curry rigatoni—easily a 10/10 in terms of flavor, but the spice level? Off the charts! As an Indian with a pretty high spice tolerance, even I found it hard to handle. Dialing it down just a notch would take it from amazing to absolutely perfect: 11/10 dish.

Nice and cozy spot with reasonable price, the food are good and my favorite is Tom yum pasta. it delivered all the good combination of Thai and Italian. Burgers are modernized with good asian fusion. Plus, their brioche is so soft and tasty. The service is great, Palm who is the manager has very good acknowledge about her dishes and recommended good taste to our palates. recommended for an easygoing place.

Loved the ambiance and creative take on Western dishes with Thai flavors! Two standouts for me were: Khao Soi Burger – The crispy egg noodles added a nice crunch, and the curry sauce had great flavor with a hint of Thai basil. However, the bun was a bit dense, and the patty was slightly overcooked, which took away from the overall experience. A little more spice would’ve made it even better. Roasted Tomato Meat Sauce Pasta – Surprisingly good! The savory sauce had a nice depth of flavor with a slight chili kick. The crispy pork rinds added a nice texture, but I think something else could have complemented the dish better. While some details could be improved, the food was tasty overall, and I’d come back. If you enjoy Thai-inspired comfort food, this spot is worth a try!

I just had the most incredible meal at this new Thai restaurant! Their crispy basil beef burger is an absolute game-changer. The Thai-style seasoned beef patty was packed with flavor, perfectly complemented by the gooey American cheese and the richness of the crispy fried egg. The sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions added a delightful sweetness, while the crispy basil and Thai basil sauce brought a bold and unique twist. Every bite was an explosion of flavor! The french fries were equally impressive—crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned. They paired wonderfully with the burger and were impossible to stop eating. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with a great mix of modern and Thai-inspired decor. The staff was super friendly and made the entire experience even better. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a meal that’s both creative and delicious, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Just had dinner at their soft opening. What a fantastic and creative addition to the neighborhood! We tried the garlic burger and green curry rigatoni. The burger sauce was mild, creamy, and delicious, and I appreciated that they collab’ed on the bun with the bakery next store. The pasta was cooked perfectly, with a spicy sauce. The staff was extremely friendly. I would highly recommend and look forward to returning!
