If there's anything you should take away from this review, it would be that ordering the dahi puri is a MUST!! You're hit with a variety of flavors with every bite. It felt like a fun explosion of flavor in my mouth. I have not had dahi puri before this, but my bar has definitely been set high after my experience here. As for the rest of the food, I would say that the taste is just alright for the price that they charge. The higher prices are probably more so for the presentation than the actual taste of the food. I enjoyed eating the puff. I would say that the puff paired with dahi puri is a great meal. Although, I think I would solely come back for the dahi puri and not much else. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed the appetizers and dessert. I especially liked my non-alcoholic cocktail (Guavalution). The main courses were decent, but not mind blowing. Naan was very mid. Service is a bit slow, but not the end of the world. Overall, it's a bit pricey for what you get, but it is worth it to try once! read more

Came here for a work dinner and really blew my mind. I loved the creativity of the food as well as the flavor. Service was great, informative and attentive for us. Definitely will be back- cute date night but also works for team dinners as well! I forgot which set dinner we did but I definitely loved the cocktails and the jackfruit tacos. I've never had jackfruit taste so good like this before! I also appreciated the portion size of the dessert after all the dishes. read more

An incredible meal! I lived in NYC for 20 years and ate at all the Indians restaurants there. This is by far the best Indian meal I've ever had. And our waiter Pooja helped us make great food decisions. One of the best meals I've ever had! read more

Love the vegan options here. But please have more vegan entrees like vegan butter chicken, vegan korma, etc?

We enjoyed our evening here tonight. They have special tables for those who don't have reservations. That being said.... Our server was very friendly and cordial. The food was worth the money spent. Everything was delicious and served stylishly. It was an awesome experience. I will go again with my kids. I will also go again with friends. I think our server made the experience very positive because he took the time to describe every dish and answered all the questions patiently. read more

Elevated Indian cuisine in SOMA great for large parties. There is the option to order a la carte or select from one of three set menus (ranging $90-$130/person). We had a party of six that night and opted for the "Epicure Set Menu". It was very much worth $105 per person, as the dishes were portioned according to the size of the party (plates were doubled for us at no extra cost). The assorted papads, crisps, dals, rice, and naan were unlimited. All in all, it was an overwhelming amount of food (in the best way possible). I've included photos of all the items from the set menu below. Standout dishes for me were the masala jackfruit tacos, hemp seed roast cornish hen, dahi puri, traditional butter chicken, and cashew praline cake. These items may be available on their regular menu as well. Overall a solid first dining experience at ROOH, I would come back again! read more

Been wanting to try this place out and so glad I was able to come here finally! I didn't really know what to expect so I was down to try anything. Ordered: pomegranate-glazed pork belly, butter chicken, dahi puri, side of garlic naan and side of saffron rice, and the mango tango (drink). First of all, the flavors were amazing. I love the textures and most importantly the combination of sweet and savory in all the dishes. My favorite is the Dahi Puri. The shell was so light and the mousse inside had that same airiness but you could definitely taste the tamarind. I also really love the mango tango drink. It was basically drinking a mango lassi/smoothie. I could have ordered 2-3 more of that drink. Super delicious. The decor inside has a lot of really dark colors that makes it feel like you're entering a lounge. There's also outdoor seating (parklet) if you want to sit outside on a good day. Service was fairly quick though there was a brief period where we did have to wait a bit when we added an item. They (the staff) were also a really efficient though sometimes a little too efficient because at one point one of our dishes was whisked away before we could finish it. Would be interested in trying some of the other items on their menu. read more

We came for dinner on a Sunday. We were actually very early to our reservation and they let us be seated while we waited for the rest of our party. Food is modern Indian and is very good. The meats were cooked so tender and the short rib melts in your mouth. The lamb bao was also very good, the lamb was super tender and not gamey at all. The service was friendly and also offered us a free amuse bouche while we waited for our food which was so sweet. I highly recommend this place as a great dinner and date spot! read more

Man I was really hoping to like this restaurant but it's mid at best. I've had much better and cheaper Indian food at different places. The place looks amazing and it's hella bougie and presentation of the food in phenomenal but the food itself was not good at all. My friend & I got seated right away and we ordered the guava mocktails with club soda which tasted really salty which was lowkey so grossssss. We then ordered quail, monkfish, and nihari. The quail came with the FEET which was highkey terrifying to look at and grossed me out when I finally noticed them (maybe this is why the place has very dim lighting). The breading of the quail was much better than the quail itself, the dish also came with a quail egg which we had thought was a tomato at first until we cut into it LOL. The beef nihari was tender but wasn't seasoned that well, honestly Zareen's has way better beef nihari and at a much more affordable price. The monkfish in my opinion was the only good thing here. The fish was tender and the spices complimented it very well. Kinda annoying how you pay $25+ per dish here and that the dishes don't even come with a side of rice or bread which we had to pay extra for. Overall--this place was a waste of money if I'm being honest. It's cool if you're tryna to go on a date and impress someone with a restaurant that looks cool and maybe they haven't tried Indian food before so they don't know what to expect, but if you've had Indian food before this place is not it. read more

Wow, I loved this meal. In town on a work trip and made a reservation on a Monday night for myself. They gave me three options for seating; I chose to sit in the back where it was quieter. I ordered the hemp seed Cornish hen, the dahi puri, the green pea kulcha, and the Ramu's fizz for my drink. The kulcha and hen were delicious, but the standout was the dahi puri. Amazing flavors in a light crispy puri. I could've eaten 20 of these. The Ramu's fizz was delicious too. I don't drink much, but I loved how creamy and smooth it was and was glad I picked it. For dessert, I got the carrot halwa and celeriac panna cotta. It was so unique and delicious! The flavors worked great together. I was also surprised to learn that it was vegan! The service was awesome too. Everyone who came by my table was super attentive and friendly, but my server, Shannon, was the absolute best. I loved my experience here and would love to come back with more people next time! read more

Honestly, a little overpriced. The quantity was less for the rates. I understand it's a michelin star restaurant, but it was still overpriced. Nonetheless, everything was amazing.

We came here to have dinner before the show in Oracle Park on Tuesday. The location is super convenient since it's just 2 blocks away from Oracle Park. We arrived at 5:20pm so no reservation needed but they got crowded pretty soon. Our server was really helpful with his great recommendations - African Tiger Prawn Ghee Roast: one of the best prawns we've had so far, even my bf had to say he loves the prawn. The tender coconut Malai curry and green garlic chutney are perfect with garlic naan and we had it to the last piece. - Lamb Shank Nigari: the lamb is cooked well and the curry is good with saffron rice. However I was more impressed with the prawns. - Mango Leches: can't go wrong with mango and we love this dessert. - Hibiscus Flan: nice touch with lychee and peach on top. Food was served quick and the place has a nice ambiance at night. We love the food but felt like drinks were a bit overpriced. Will come back when we're in the area. read more

For the price that you will pay here - food is average, ambience is average, service is okayish. I tried traditional butter chicken here - I have to say Chicken was very soft and almost melts in your mouth. Kudos for this talent in cooking. However I was disappointed with the gravy. In my view it had an unnecessary tangy flavor - didn't quite like it. read more

This progressive Indian cuisine retains its profound layers of flavor - enjoyed every dish ordered. Here's what was ordered: - Plant Lamb Keema Masala (Pav bhaji): served with soft bread roll - a delightful explosion of flavors. A highlight for me - Lamb bao: nothing too special but good nonetheless - Nizami Sharbat: an astringent cocktail, more on the herbal side yet tastes amazing. Also such a great concept and presented beautifully - Butter Chicken: an indulgent classic - executed with a velvety and rich texture. Chicken was perfectly tender - Chicken Tikka Scottish Egg: a unique fusion but was not amazed by this dish - Garlic Naan: freshly baked, paired this with our butter chicken - Phirni Mousse Cashew Cake: a decadent and memorable dessert - another highlight for me Evident from each dish, ROOH redefines Indian cuisine with modern flair (and with innovative elements). The thoughtfully presented and crafted flavors made this dining experience exceptional. Huge shout out to Islo (apologies if I've misspelt) - most enthusiastic, vibrant, and passionate bartender I've ever met. Truly enhanced the dining experience here. 10/10 would come again. read more

Food is good. Service is meh. Staff could be a bit more personable. Inside and tables always clean is a plus.

The service is a 10/10. All the servers were very attentive and checked in on us regularly and made sure our food came in on time. The place is definitely contemporary Indian, even before you order your food you can tell based on the art work and the beautiful mural they have on the wall. The food was okay. The ones that I would order again is the tuna behl and the chicken tikka scotish egg fusion (that was such an interesting concept and it works really well). The chicken 65 taco was amazing, but I wish they gave 3 tacos instead of 2 especially for the price. My favorite cocktail is for sure Ramu's Fizz. read more

The best "nice" dinner I've had in SF! My friend and I left full, satisfied, and impressed and the bill was very solid all things considered! Here's what we ordered: Chili cheese kulcha ($16) This dish seemed very popular online, but it was the most underwhelming part of our meal and not worth the money. Black sheep keema ($18) This was amazing! Skip on the kulcha and order this for only $2 more! The keema was hearty and flavorful, and the potato mousse and crispy potato strings added a fun and unique textural contrast. I would never think this dish is plant-based. And the pao, or as I like to call it "butt bread", was fluffy, perfectly crisped, and delicious! If you're not too hungry, this could honestly be a meal in itself. Pomegranate pork belly ($20) This was very delicious! The pork was cooked to perfection, melt-in-your-mouth! The pomegranate glaze and evoo complemented the pork very well. Also a solid portion for the price. Saag kofta ($28) This was very yummy! The kofta were more like croquettes which I'm not complaining about, but the highlight was definitely the saag sauce. Very spinach-y in a good way, worked very well with the kofta, and a drizzle of evoo never hurt anyone :) Now onto desserts! $15 is a little high for dessert, but let me tell you, I've yet to have a dessert at a dinner place in SF as good as Rooh's. A lot of places just don't prioritize making good desserts, unfortunately for me and my sweet tooth! But Rooh does! Cashew praline cake ($15) The flavor of the cake is very reminiscent of sticky toffee pudding, which is in my top 3 desserts of all time, so of course I loved that. The texture was spot on too. The mousse, ice cream, and wafer aren't just for looks, they also complement each other great. It was fun combining all the different flavors and textures with each bite. Would order this! Mango tres leches ($15) If you love mango, you'll love this! The cake is beautiful, light, and moist. The fresh mango on top is great. And my friend loved the mango puree on the side. Overall, the food at Rooh was awesome when I visited. Service was lovely too and it's beautiful inside so I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a "nice" dinner that's not too pricey by the city's standard! read more

I drove up from Southern California to visit my daughter and celebrate her belated birthday. I suggested three restaurants close to her place. She chose Rooh, a modern Indian restaurant. I made the reservation for 5:30 PM. We were the first to get there. Three other parties showed up. Elliott was our host. He asked if we had any allergies to certain food. I told him I don't tolerate tomatoes very well. I asked him what are their signature dishes. He spent 5 minutes highlighting some of his favorite dishes and making sure to know the ones that have tomatoes. We started with the Chili Cheese Kulcha. We had the Dahi Puri, Hemp Seed Roasted Cornish Hen small plates. For our large plate, we selected the Lamb Pepper Fry with Garlic Naan. We enjoyed everything with the exception of the lamb. The lamb was overly spiced and the crispy onion did not have any taste (I don't know if the chef intended it to be that way). The garlic naan was good. We enjoyed almost everything from the dinner. Unfortunately, the lamb was the last dish served. When I requested the check, our server did not suggest dessert. We would have taken dessert to cleanse the heavy taste of the lamb. Since we were not offered a peek at the dessert menu, I paid the check. DJ's rating: 4.15/5.0 (Would been higher if we were offered a dessert menu). Would we come back? Yes. read more

Amazing cuisine! I first went to Rooh in February 2022 and since then have not been able to stop thinking about their Dahi Puri. Finally, was in San Francisco and took my bestie for her birthday. We did share a plate of the Dahi Puri, and a couple of other dishes. However, for my main I did order a plate of Dahi Puri for myself. Service was excellent, and the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I just hope I don't have to wait another 3+ years to go back for the Dahi Puri read more

Ordered the vegetarian combo here for takeout which consisted of a small cauliflower koliwada, rice, and dessert (kheer) which is a sweet, cold dessert involving boiled vermicelli, milk, and sugar. The portions, unfortunately, were really tiny so I felt extremely underwhelmed by the meal. I only received about 4 pieces of cauliflower and while the sauce was sweet and tangy, I definitely needed more cauliflower to make the ratio of cauliflower and basmati rice make sense. For the price, it was not worth it to me so I probably won't come back. However, if money is not an issue and you're looking for some fusion Indian cuisine for a date night, this could be an option for you. read more

I absolutely adore this place! The food is phenomenal and the drinks are amazing. My favorites: Jackfruit Tacos Paneer Pinwheel Dal Makhani Kale Pakora The drinks on their menu are incredible (they change seasonally).

Beautiful ambiance with velvet turquoise chairs and mood lighting. The service was also great our server was really kind and attentive and gave us great recs for what to order. Further more the food came out really quickly which was surprising for a place that's this nice. Now for the food. The chili paneer cotija puff was pretty good. I didn't get too chili of a flavor but it's fun appetizer to order however not the best. The palak patta chaat was definitely better in this case. The dahi that was used in this chaat was whipped and so fluffy it was like a mousse something I hadn't experienced in chaat before. It worked so well with the crunchier fried palak on top and the papdi below the dahi. Great flavor. The chicken tacos were also great however did not feel as unique. The chicken was cooked perfectly though. The black garlic naan was super interesting. The black garlic becomes somewhat caramelized and therefore is a little sweet. Personally I prefer normal garlic naan but was great to try. Finally the paneer pinwheel was definitely the best thing we ate. The curry was so flavorful and tomatoey tasting. The paneer its self had a kofta flavor profile to it since between the petals of the pinwheel there was a pistachio and more cheesy paste. read more

We came to check this spot out after seeing all the hype on social media. And as promised the interior is gorgeous, the bar is inviting and stocked. Our party of 3 made a reservation and was seated promptly. We found parking just outside although the meters did extend until 10pm. We decided to split some appetizers and entrees to sample the menu, starting with the Dahi Puri which was probably the star of the whole meal. The light puffs come filled with a delicious veggie mixture. We also shared the butter chicken which came in a pretty tomatoey sauce that didn't remedy the dry chicken. The garlic naan was pretty solid fluffy and warm and the rice is a perfect vehicle to soak up all the curry. We also ordered the monkfish curry which came in a smaller portion than we were expecting. Flavor wise it didn't seem to deliver the punch we were looking for. Overall the service was attentive, however we did notice the staff repeatedly returned to our table giving off the vibe of wanting us to leave quickly. Understandably there are other reservations but we felt the restaurant wasn't at capacity yet we were being prompted to leave. After all the social media buzz of Rooh we wanted to love this place but found the entrees to be a bit lacking and not living quite up to the hype. But do come and try the Dahi Puri as it was a memorable dish and a delight to eat! read more

One of the best restaurant experiences of my life Food was all very good. Full of flavor and beautifully presented The best - butter chicken - we totally licked the plate clean on this one, asked for more Naan just to finish this - pork belly - omg one of the most tender pork belly I ever had, better than Japanese and Chinese version The favorites - chutney (the peanut and the avocado one were the favorites at the table) - lamb tacos - lamb shank - shrimp - Mushroom - puri (light, creamy) The ok - monkfish Tried all the cocktails on the menu (tasted and shared among the table) nothing stood out, honestly could've done without and just save more space for food Service was attentive and nice Overall would come back again, the food was amazing for the most part!

Came here for a friends birthday dinner, overall had a great time! They had a great selection of cocktails, and provided our friend with a free dessert at the end for his birthday. For food I ordered the butter chicken and it was delicious. It was so creamy and flavorful and had a good amount of chicken. I do think the food is pricey for the amount that they give, especially knowing there are a lot of casual Indian restaurants you can get the same quality of food with bigger portions for half the price. However, it is nice to splurge on a fancy Indian dinner every now and then, and Rooh definitely provided a higher end ambiance great for a special occasion. read more
