Rooh presented a great fusion of classic Indian flavors with modern twist. Dim lighting and beautiful chandeliers added to the grandeur of the place. The staff was super attentive and suggested the Prawn to us which was the highlight of our night. The coconut flavor coated every bite. Meat was well marinated, flavorful and not spicy. The dahi ke kebab were well made but in my opinion lacked a little bit of texture as it was dry. All of the main dishes had superior taste and great presentation.

The quality and presentation of the food reflect the restaurant's commitment to fine dining. It's worth noting that reservations are recommended. Although we managed to secure a table at the last minute, the restaurant does get quite busy, reflecting its popularity and the high demand for its exquisite offerings. As this is a fine dining establishment, the prices are on the higher side. It's not a place for everyday meals, but rather for those occasions when you're looking to indulge in something special. One area where the restaurant could improve is the variety of vegetarian options. For an Indian restaurant, the vegetarian selection is somewhat limited, which might be disappointing for those who prefer or require a vegetarian diet. Overall, this restaurant is highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience with a sophisticated take on Indian cuisine.

I dined here on Mother's Day and let's put it this way, it met my mom's seal of approval and she gave it 5 stars. 'Nuff said? . On a more serious note, the food and service were both on point. I had one of their bourbon cocktails and we got the pea kulcha, jackfruit cutlet, lamb keema and butter chicken (not pictured). Everything had unique flavors and tasted really good. This was my first time trying a jackfruit dish and it was rather unique and unexpected. Similarly although you can get lamb keema elsewhere too, the foam that it came with was totally unique and a nice compliment. I had dined at ROOH for brunch years ago and found the meal 'heavy' but this time around I didn't feel that at all. Sure it's rich but I didn't feel too guilty after this meal. A must try if you're looking for an elevated Indian dining experience with some of the staples and some innovative fusion food.

One of my favorite Indian restaurants in the city!! Rooh is more of an upscale, modern take on Indian food and the ambiance is amazing, the servers are friendly and the food is incredible. Been here several times and would definitely bring out of town guests here. For apps - The Chili cheese kulcha is my favorite thing and we never come here without ordering at least one of these. The sweet potato chaat is also a must try - so unique and tasty. The garlic naan with Paneer Pasada or butter chicken is delicious and you can't go wrong with either of these options. The gravy in these dishes is sooo creamy and the chicken is cooked perfectly. The cocktails are really good and have fun Indian twists / ingredients in them, and for dessert the mango sorbet tastes just like frozen rus (alphonso mangos). Everything is so so good 10/10 recommend!

Came here for birthday celebrations and had a great time. They gave us a pretty large both for us two people, it was nice to have the space to spread out! The waiter was super sweet and walked us through the whole menu. Here is what we got: Drinks: - Malabar old fashioned - great drink, alcohol forward with good flavors delicious - Road to Kerala - (not a fan of banana) so was worried about the banana but you couldn't really taste that flavor, would definitely recommend -chili cheese kulcha - very tasty and a lil spicy, if you like bread and cheese (who doesn't?) get this - sweet potato chaat - this one kind of surprised me and was honestly one of my favorite dishes that we ordered - kerala chicken - perfectly crispy and spicy -bagara baingan- pretty good, was giving Thai peanut curry They also brought out a birthday ice cream, which was also good. Really enjoyed the meal and would come back when we visit Chicago again.

Went to Rooh for dinner and not bad for Wednesday night. We made reservations and never a bad idea to do so for this place. It was packed mostly after hours office crowd and business meeting related dinner crowd. We reached early and were asked to wait at the bar. We sat in the bar and ordered the drinks. The drinks were non alcoholic so relally didn't enjoy them much. Will give 2.5/5. Food. Small plates, cheese kulcha: 5/5 Jackfruit Cutlet: 4/5 tip this should be made in 2 portions instead of one. Might make it easy to eat without destructing the dish. Mains: Paneer Pasanda: 5/5 nice gravy and cottage cheese was soft and well cooked. Saffron Rice: 3.5/5 nothing extraordinary. Just regular boiled rice with saffron strands. Garlic Naan: 4/5 very small size but good. Dal Makhani: 4/5 nice dal but was little watery. It is supposed to be thick. Dessert: paysam( rice pudding) 5/5 best part. It was perfectly sweet. If you are looking for a light dessert less sweet this is the best options. Served chilled with fruits on top( little modernized than traditionally done paysam. I would rather prefer nuts over strawberries and berries) Good food. I will recommend but probably may not go back soon since there are so many more to go and try and menu is also limited.

I went here again with my girlfriends. In Drinks, we started with Nagpur Narangi, Pink city Mocktail and Hibiscus tea. I loved the Pink city mock-tail. For appetizers we had chilli cheese kulcha, sweet potato chaat and Grilled prawns. All the appetizers were tasty. For Mains we ordered Paneer Pasanda, Scottish Salmon Pulusu and Lamb Shank Nihari. The food was just delicious and amazing. The ambiance was chill. Our server was very polite and attentive. There is valet parking in case you need help with parking as it's located in a very busy area. Or else you can parallel park on the streets if you can get lucky finding a spot. I would highly recommend this place!

I've been to the Rooh location in Palo Alto and was so excited to try the Chicago location. I can certainly say it did not disappoint!! Ambiance: the interior of the restaurant is stunning! They have a beautiful mural by the bar area and the lighting stems from several gorgeous chandeliers. Service: our server was very friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly and hot. No complaints! Food + Drink: Pink City - perfectly spicy and salty! If you like margaritas you will enjoy this cocktail. Jack Fruit Cutlet & Sabudana Cutlet - the jack fruit was so savory and tasty! The sabudana had a nice spice to it and a soft + chewy texture. Chili Cheese & Green Pea Kulcha - both are excellent! The green pea is tangy and fresh, whereas the chili is filled with gooey cheese to offset the spice. Paneer Pasanda - elevated version of a butter paneer. Delicious! Tandoor Cauliflower - the curry had a nutty flavor and the cauliflower was smoky and tender. So good! Saffron Cheesecake - so soft with the perfect amount of sweetness. The cardamom/nutmeg/rose flavor perfectly compliments the cheesecake. TL;DR - A fantastic choice for upscale Indian! Service is excellent and the interior is beautiful. My personal favorites are the Jackfruit Cutlets, Paneer Pasanda, and Green Pea Kulcha!
