Rooh Columbus

Restaurant Week Edition:My wife and I have been wanting to try this place out for a while now. I'm glad we were finally able to! The food was exceptional! I'm not very familiar with Indian food so I was open to trying anything. They had a three course for $50 special menu. I ordered the Butter Chicken Bombas, lamb burrah chop, and the crème brûlée. Everything was delicious!Service was very friendly. I enjoyed the aesthetics of the restaurant. It stayed consistently busy so getting a reservation is a must. I can't wait to come back and try something new!

If you are looking for a great date night atmosphere, AMAZING customer service and to top it off amazing authentic Indian Cuisine then you must look no further! I've been too ROOH twice now and sat at the bar twice gotten a few drinks and a few apps and everything has been absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go back and finally get some entrees!

Rooh is wonderful in every way. And if you can make it for their 5:00 - 6:00pm happy hour, you'll be in heaven. All drinks and small plates are $9 which is a steal given the high quality of everything. With one exception, there wasn't anything that touched my lips that I wouldn't recommend giving a try. That line caveat is that a supply issue forced them to sub in edamame for chickpeas in the Avocado & Green Chickpea Bhel, which diminished the dish's overall taste. Beyond that, we had great service in an elegant setting. I would definitely recommend it for a nice date or special occasion.

We decided to make a reservation here for Valentine's Day as my husband is a vegetarian and I love trying new things do it seemed like the perfect fit. The ambiance is pretty, with a gorgeous mural up front, and lots of soft lighting. The service was impeccable from start to finish and even though they were busy on a rainy Saturday, we did not want for anything our entire visit. We ordered the Samosa appetizer and the Paneer wheel, with extra rice and garlic Naan. We also ordered a few mocktails as we were feeling festive! Everything was delicious and while we don't get out downtown much on weekends these days I would definitely recommend!

I was for sure positive I already wrote a review for this place, but somehow nothings showing, so here it goes... again, haha:October 2023, I met Anna H. for happy hour to check this place out. Walking in the setting is nice, somewhat on the minimalist side. We sat at the bar. If I remember correctly, there weren't any purse hooks under the bar; that would be a great addition. I don't recall much anything about service, so it must have been decent. I also (apparently) forgot to take pictures of their menus, so I can't comment on their offerings as a whole. Straight to the food. I absolutely looooved the Wild Mushroom Kulcha. It was wildly good, far above our other dishes we tried. The fresh grated cheeses mixed with the truffle oil was incredibly flavorful. The bread was light too, leaving room to savor the taste and try the other dishes. The other dishes we tried: - A cooked cauliflower app that was "wok fried" in a sweet sauce - good- A Shrimp app - lightly fried and served with a green chutney Don't recall the flavors, but I do remember liking the dish- Last app dish was a beef balls concoction I believe. The white dollop on top was something of a sour cream like consistency. I had a good time stopping in overall. However, based on this first and only visit I've had to Rooh thus far, I probably wouldn't venture back, at least not based on a solo decision. If friends picked this spot, sure. I think I got a thin air of pretentiousness, but that's a personal feeling, so take it as you will.

I had been wanting to try this spot and restaurant week was the push I needed to get here. They didn't offer us the regular menu, but we did see other people order off of it; we ordered off the restaurant week menu but it would have been nice to see what else was available. Our server was super kind and attentive. My water was never empty, which goes a long way with me! We started with the cheese pav rolls and the chicken bombas. Both were good but the bombas were incredible. For my main course I got the butter chicken which was phenomenal. The garlic naan is so tasty, and great to dip in the sauces, but equally delicious on its own. For dessert we got the mango crème brûlée and the carrot cake. My husband liked the carrot cake more and I liked the mango brûlée more, but safe to say they were both good. Situated in a chic and well decorated space, this is a nice spot to grab some good Indian food

Small portions at a large price tagShort ribs were served cold (not my preference)Garlic naan was tasty Large plates are reported to serve 2 people, but I can't imagine a situation where 2 people with any sort of appetite will be sustained. I've had homemade Indian, family owned restaurants, and franchises and this experience didn't match any of those in taste or value

Rooh is a chain. But some of my friends had been before and recommended coming for dinner!A friend of mine had the lamb shank Nihari during restaurant week and recommended I try it. I ordered that while my vegetarian friends got the saag and the kofta. The portions look small, but I'm guessing they put cream in it? I was full by the end!It's a much more elevated experience so the food is pricey. But the lamb tasted like it was a high quality and my friend's saag tasted really fresh!We got drinks as well, which were very much Indian-inspired with certain types of flavors and seasonings. Very unique! We all enjoyed what we got!We came midweek and it wasn't busy. My friend had made a 7:30 reservation but there were so many tables open.I liked the vibe. Very nicely decorated and they were playing music by Indian artists.You can find parallel parking, but it was difficult to find a spot so I parked at a nearby garage.

I came here on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday. This area is always very busy on Saturdays and the parking is a little rough, but there is a garage nearby so it wasn't too bad. The first thing I noticed when I came in is how cute the decorations are. The seats and table and wallpaper and even glasses/plates were SO CUTE. When we were sat our server came over, she was very nice but the restaurant was super loud and a lot of times it was difficult to hear. We ordered cauliflower koliwada, shrimp pepper fry, nawabi kofta, tiger prawns, butter chicken, and beef short ribs. I LOVED the shrimp pepper fry and cauliflower koliwada. The entrees were good too but definitely not as good as the appetizers. A MUST TRY is the chilies & cheese naan. I'm usually a garlic naan girl myself but omg this was the best naan ever. The website says the food is Indian fusion and I'm not sure what it's fused with lol but it's definitely not authentic. If you've never tried Indian before it may be a good intro but was definitely as spicy/flavorful as the Indian I'm used to. For dessert my friends got free ice cream for their birthdays. They have lots of fun flavors and we got the pumpkin tamarind, salted jaggery, and the carrot cake with saffron. The salted jaggery was probably the best ice cream I've ever had. The two ice creams came out super early and then they started bringing our checks before we even got the cake. I was going to tell them to not worry about it but then they brought it out so the timing was definitely off and inconvenient. The cake itself was very unusual it was super spongy and dense, but overall it was pretty good. I would come back again if I'm in the area. The service was decent and the food was good but would not recommend if you're looking for anything near authentic Indian.

Went for Restaurant Week and we ended up going off the regular menu! The Sweet Potato Chaat was probably my favorite thing all night. That and the Dahi Puri and Carrot Halwa were awesome! We also ordered Butter Chicken - only received like 3 pieces of chicken slabs and they weren't pre-cut, not a big deal but not my fav. The Tiger Prawns were delicious though but also only 5 prawns. The garlic naan was delicious but small, I wish the plates came with naan AND rice. But I mean these are usual things to expect from a fancy restaurant. The Chai Tiramisu was really good and light/fluffy but we thought it was really lacking any chai flavor, it tasted like a normal tiramisu!Service was amazing! The waitress was super attentive and I don't think our glasses ever stayed more than half empty. She was on it!
