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! read more

Came here for restaurant week when it was still "ROOH". I went for dinner and the food was tasty but portions were so small, I was not full when we left. It was an okay experience but I don't think I would go away as it was nothing special and there's both better innovative Indian and traditional Indian food in the city. The ambience is nice inside though it's a cute place. read more

Just updating my review to disclose that this restaurant still rocks lol we officially come here once a year for an anniversary and now I'm like "maybe we should come here every quarter?" We have never had a bad meal at ROOH. Get the chai tea. Get the butter chicken. Get the lamb shank. Get the sweet potato chaat. Get it ALL! The restaurant is always so chill when we go, it always feels intimate even when there are a lot of people there and the service is excellent! We'll see you soon, ROOH! read more

ROOH and Bar Goa seem to be owned by the same people, which is something one of my friends pointed out because they offer the same drinks. I didn't get one but my friends liked the drinks they got and ordered multiple after liking it. We went for Valentine's Day, which was fun because they gave (only the women lol) roses. Of the food we got, I really recommend the Goa shrimp, sabudana cutlets, and butter chicken as standouts. We also got a surf and turf special and I liked the scallops but found the meat not particularly memorable. In terms of decor/ambiance, it is ridiculously beautiful in ROOH. Definitely great spot for a special occasion or date if the vibes are important to you. Overall, I'd say food is good but not necessarily blow your mind amazing. Had a lovely meal though and I'm happy I tried it even if I won't necessarily rush back to go again. read more

This is a great modern Indian spot on par with any of the NYC favorites, i.e. Gupshup, Indian accent, etc. Rooh means soul in Hindi, and there is certainly soul in the cooking here. My favorite item was the sabudana fritters. These are a flattened version of the classic Maharashtran dish sabudana vada, made of tapioca flour fried. These tasted as amazing as the sabudana I had at Aaswad in Bombay, especially paired with one of the spicy chutneys that you can order a la carte. For mains we had the dal and paneer pasanda, basically a paneer makhani but with the paneer nicely textured and not just relying on the butter tomato sauce for flavor. Dal was great too. read more

I started filling my own water because I felt bad that the guy kept coming back just to fill my half glass to make it full. The ambiance is super pretty.

Came here on a Thursday after making a last minute dinner reservation for three. It's easy to get this restaurant confused with the place next door, so make sure to confirm you're at the right spot when checking in! It seemed like about half of the tables were doing the tasting menu, while the other half were doing ala carte. We opted for the ala carte and tried the following: - Goan Crab Cakes: pretty tasty but honestly nothing that will stick in my memory. - Lamb Keema Hyderabadi: I never say no to buttered pao and this was some good stuff! Solid rendition of a classic. - Saag Paneer Kofta: to be honest, I would have preferred just normal saag paneer to the kofta form, but it was fun to try. Wouldn't get again. - Butter Chicken: nothing noteworthy but a solid protein choice. - Rooh Dal: a very solid dal dish, worth adding. - Garlic naan: also standard fare. Overall, the food was good but nothing was "must get again". I also wasn't a fan of the fact that each chutney cost $3 to order. They do have some inventive cocktails that are worth trying! I would say I'd recommend this place more for the drinks and light bites than for an entire meal. read more

Absolutely stunning. From the decor, to the service, to the interesting cocktail menu, to the food itself. We really enjoyed our experience here a lot. We tried several cocktails (don't judge LOL) like the Hyderabad Gin & Tonic (wow!), the Malabar Old Fashioned, and the Queen of Spice. Each were sensational. The showstoppers for me were the Green Pea Kulcha and Paneer Pasanda. So tasty, so savory, and just perfect. If I had any gripes they would be that I wish the Kulchas were a bigger portion and the large plates section of the menu a bit bigger. My gripe is I want more! Overall, a fabulous spot for an amazing take on Indian cuisine. Come here for a date, drinks with friends, or for a cozy meal for one. read more

For foodies who look for great taste and service, Roop is the place to dine. It has very calming vibes that enhances the experience. We ordered vegetarian platter, cauliflower in appetizers and garlic naan, paneer and jackfruit biryani. While all dishes were great, jackfruit biryani was the best. The time to serve was very well timed, not too slow and not too fast between the course. Cynthia is a great host and very knowledgeable about flavors and recommendations. read more

We ordered for a chicken biryani from an online food delivery service and this is what we were served for $26. Not what we expected for a restaurant the grade of roop. Biryani is supposed to be a balanced proportion of meat and rice. Dish we got was only 70% full, had about 20% rice and rest chicken. Won't be ordering the biryani from this place again after this experience. read more

The food is high quality and well presented. Service was a bit slow. Nice ambiance. I will say my cocktail was $18 and had like 4 sips in it, a sprite was $6, butter chicken was $28 and didn't come with rice which I just find to be silly for that price. Bathrooms were also not super nice/clean. And bill had 4% "restaurant charge" read more

10/10 service and food! Was a bit hesitant of this upscale Indian restaurant, but it didn't disappoint! We split two large plates (tandoori cauliflower and the butter chicken), and had 2 servings of naan and rice. Lots of space inside the restaurant, and I saw downstairs there's a private dining space too! Wish I could bottle up the sauces each of these dishes came in - they were unique to one another and incredibly flavorful. Get the butter naan so it can soak up the flavors of the dishes you get. Service was efficient & we didn't feel rushed even though we finished our food and drinks a little too quickly ;) It was about $115 so a little pricey for the amount of food we had, but it's to be expected in west loop! read more

Big place with upsatir, main floor, and outdoor seating. Service is really good. There are selected options for vegeatrian. I have been here multiple times. They have mocjtail selection, which is ok. Cheese chili kulcha It's an appetizer that does not taste great with other curries. This is really good. Onion kulcha The first time I've tried it here, it's OK. This can be paired with daal or paneer dish. Sabudana cutlet It's great, but it lacks spices and seasoning for my taste. Jackfruit cutlet Good, but mint chutney is good pairing.Actually, I need that spice. Paneer Pasanda I would say it's OK. Daal is I enjoy it better than paneer. Garlic Naan is ok too. Onion and chutney need to be ordered separately. This is not great considering the amount of money charged for the other dishes. Certainly a pricy indian food for the amount they serve. read more

Came for a birthday dinner and loved it! The vibe when you walk in feels very modern and sophisticated and the servers were all very attentive throughout the meal. We started with the chili cheese Kulcha which was tasty although a bit basic (basically like a cheesy bread) and the avocado and chickpea bhel. The bhel was maybe one of my favorite dishes of the night - a great balance of flavors and textures and perfect light start to the meal. Then for mains we had the tandoori cauliflower and paneer pasanda, both of which were delicious with rich, creamy sauces for each. We had rooh dal as an accompaniment and the naan and roti as rice eventually as sides. For dessert, had the recommended saffron cheesecake which was beautiful and although a little sweet for my taste was still delicious with a unique mix of flavors. Overall ended up being $50/person so definitely a special occasion type of place but I know I saw mixed reviews for this place and it really exceeded my expectations! Would highly recommend! read more

I went to ROOH recently to try their new tasting menu "Roop" which means beauty in Indian. First off this restaurant is stunning! I was shocked how different each section was decorated with rich colors and beautiful murals. The food was just as delicious and beautiful. They are now serving two different tasting menus (Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian) during dinner service Wednesday - Sunday. For $95/pp you're really getting your monies worth and you actually leave full. Each dish is presented so beautifully and it is a collaboration with a Michelin Star Chef. I actually loved each course but my favorite was the scallop course and when asked if I wanted to add caviar I said Ofcourse. I also tried Indian whisky for the first time and loved it. I will definitely be back! read more

Roop was easily a 5/5--my favorite restaurant during my trip to Chicago! They do Indian food so well. From the bold, authentic flavors to the exceptional service, everything was on point.

I had a friend in town, so made a reservation to sit outside. It was a lovely summer evening, but unfortunately their sidewalk patio is currently surrounded by construction so not the best ambiance, but not much they can do about that. After being seated, we settled on cocktails - I got the Pink City, which was fine - I just wish I had gotten something more refreshing to go with the spicy food. For dinner, we split the sweet potato chaat, bagara baingan, and lamb keena hyderabadi with chutney and saffron rice. Everything was superb! My favorite dish of the night was the sweet potato chaat, but I'd order all of them again. In addition, service was wonderful, and contributed to an overall enjoyable dinner experience. I just wish we had saved room for dessert! read more

Former Michelin guided restaurant back in 2021 so I definitely had to check it out. The dining experience is more of an elevated Indian cuisine . I was told the sea bass was one of their more popular options and the dish was more meant to be shareable. On the other note, I found it to extremely filling for one person with the added bowl of saffron rice. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is top notch you can totally take work colleagues here. Only downside is that the dishes lean to the pricier side. Sea bass came in at $46 and drinks are reasonable ranging from $15-16 for a cocktail. read more

Very cool ambiance in the Fulton Market District. Indian Food with a modern look is what you will get at ROOH. Everyone is very nice and greets you as you walk towards your table, with quick attention. One bummer is that we were looking at their Happy Hour menu and they didn't offer too much. It was just wine and maybe two appetizers that didn't look exciting. We opted for the regular menu. The Avocado & Chickpea Bhel appetizer was a delicious bowl of flavor that I didn't want to end. It was refreshing and really popped in flavor. The puffed black rice was certainly not expected on my end, but I think it added to the fullness of the light and airy flavor. I really enjoyed it. I also really enjoyed the Dahi Ke Kebab. These are fried yogurt patties and I didn't want them to end. Those two were my favorite dishes. I also ordered a delicious Road to Kerala, which was mezcal, cinnamon, coconut, pineapple, banana. It had a beautiful star anise on top as decoration (and wonderful flavor). We ordered three appetizer dishes and two drinks each. Our bill was a bit higher than I anticipated, but you will pay $15-20 for appetizers. Our drinks were also about the $15-20 range for each. I really enjoyed this restaurant. It really showcase the beauty of Indian food and I'm told it's a great reminder of India in Chicago. read more

The service was above and beyond great. The food is decent, but definitely not worth the price.

For a restaurant with a Michelin Guide rating, I was excited to see what their Indian fusion flavors was all about. As badly as I want to say their food was as amazing as has been said by others, I was not all that impressed. The butter chicken was dry and not as creamy as I'd like and hoped, but still enjoyed the savory-ness of the sauce. Our salmon was heavily over cooked and thought the mashed potatoes was the real star (for it being ~$40, the salmon could've been prepared better). It did come with a coconut ginger curry on the side that I fairly liked, it was a great compliment to the dish. Out of our whole meal, my favorite was the sweet potato chaat - potatoes were cooked perfectly and the yogurt sauce was amaze! Service was great, our waiter was killing his water refill game as our cups were never left empty. The ambience was classy and dark, with pretty decor and seating. read more

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. read more

Went here to celebrate friend's birthday with another friend who was visiting from another state. This was my second time in this restaurant, first time being couple of years ago. We had made reservations so we were seated promptly. Our attendant was super nice. We had ordered something alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks which were delicious. They even exchanged my Friend's drink as it turned out that she didn't like it (it was too Smokey flavored to her taste). We had ordered chilli cheese kulcha, avocado and chickpea bhel and Santana cutlet for appetizers. For main course - ordered tandoori cauliflower and paneer pasanda with garlic naan. Didn't care much for cauliflower dish but everything else tasted great. It was a Friday night and I noticed that all tables were occupied. We enjoyed our visit and food there. The valets was prompt as well which is always nice when you don't have to wait for too long for your car in Chicago weather. I'd visit here again on special Occasion read more

This restaurant has progressively declined in quality and each time we go is so disappointing. Their menu has reduced in the available options and while their decor and staff are fine, dining here has become less than enjoyable. The food and drink are less than mediocre, while their prices are too high for the portion sizes. The most recent time we went, we tried the majority of vegetarian options, and I can't even deny that there was not a single dish that we actually liked and would recommend. We ate the food because we were hungry during dinner and ended up having to order so much to barely fill our plates and were left with an unreasonably high bill. The cocktails are served in these martini glasses that only provide three sips before the drink is done. Their desserts are unoriginal and unimpressive. As far as Indian restaurants go, this one is not worth your time or money. read more

My boyfriend and I recently dropped in on a Friday night for pre-dinner drinks and appetizers while awaiting our reservation at a nearby Ramen spot. Even though there were a lot of tables available, the attendant offered us bar seats stating they are at full capacity. We ordered Dahi ke Kebab and Green Pea Kulcha (without goat cheese) along with Habanero sauce. The food was very good. They offered a fusion twist to Indian dishes which we liked. The Habanero sauce was VERY spicy, even though the server warned us, we wanted to challenge ourselves and no regrets there! They have a wide range of fusion cocktails - I ordered a Hara Spritz which was about average. I felt the drink was tad bit diluted, lacking the desired alcoholic kick. We also ordered a pistachio gelato, because why not?! It was really good and we loved the earthy nutty undertones. Rooh has been on my list since a while and I'm glad we could try a few things from their menu, will definitely come back to try more dishes. P.S. They have a vegan section on their menu and a lot of dishes can be customised, so definitely ask your server for options! read more

Food was very good but would have been better if it has been served in a logical order. We received our butter chicken with no rice or naan. Took a good 10 to 15 minutes for it to arrive. We had to move from our initial table because water was dripping on our heads. We were sitting right next to the host station and still had very little attention paid. Dishes were dropped on our table with no serving utensils and no server to follow up. From my perspective a service disaster. Food was tasty but got cold while we waited for rice. Very expensive and a added gratuity made it more so. Don't think i'll be going back. We would have had better service if we had ordered takeout and grabbed a table read more

We were so excited to visit Rooh and add it to our neighborhood list of favorites! They have generous seating and it was pretty easy to get a reservation. My wife got the Hot And Gold drink and I liked it so much, I got it as my second. She was slightly disappointed they did not have a mango lassi, but the Hot and Gold was a great alternative if you like mango forward drinks. It was sweet and refreshing. As for food, we ordered two kulchas (naan), the chili cheese and garlic and we paired it with a peanut and chili chutney. We would highly recommend the additional chutney, it added great flavor to the stuffed naans and without we feel like it would've been a little bland. We also ordered the pork belly and for the main, we got the butter chicken with basmati rice. The chicken was so soft you didn't need a knife to slice it, and it was a generous amount of chicken. Great for people who are just getting into Indian food - they didn't ask us for spice levels and everything was fairly mild. The food had great flavor and we'll definitely be coming back! read more

ROOH means soul or spirit and you can definitely taste that in ROOH's food. You can definitely taste the delicate balance in flavor. I also had one of my fave dishes from 2022 here - the sweet potato chaat. It's also Michelin rated and I cannot recommend this place enough! Food I had... Jackfruit kofta - very smart to have it come in a lightly fried ball. It ate like a meatball and I didn't miss meat Garlic naan - always a good choice, super warm and delish Bagara baingan - tasty eggplant dish, I didn't know they could come that small but still filling and tasty Tandoori cauliflower - loved that they gave us very giant pieces. If I had to pick just this entree I would be happy and full. Saffron rice - rice is perfect to dip and soak up these sauces Sweet potato chaat - one of my fave dishes of 2023, it played with flavors, temperatures and textures so well!!! I rarely eat dishes that are mindful of playing with temperatures but wow ROOH delivered. I'd totally come back. I'd try more options too. There are so many awesome sounding dishes but so little time so more visits are in my future. read more

You can have much better Indian food elsewhere for a more reasonable price. The best thing this place does it the "vibe". If you want to go to a restaurant to be served ok food that looks "fancy", this might be your place. I had much better Indian food at my local Indian restaurant that was 1/3 the price of this meal. Especially for those vegetarian dishes, the taste and portion sizes just don't justify the prices. The plates look nice, but I'd rather eat more delicious food than take pictures of pretty food. The drinks were good and interesting combinations. That was probably the most impressive thing found on the menu. The chutneys were also delicious. Unfortunately, the waitress who brought them to our table incorrectly named them when she put them down so I ended up eating a large spoonful of the spiciest one, but I survived. We tried almost everything vegetarian on the menu. The bread (kulcha and naan) are more like flatbreads/pita than true naan. They're tiny and nothing to write home about. The sweet potato chaat was fine, but why make it sweet potato? Would've been better as just regular samosa chaat. No need to try to make it fancy. We tried a couple of the cutlets which were tasty. The paneer was good, but I've had better at other Indian restaurants. The cauliflower was also good, however, it was kind of bland. The waiter made it seem like the portions were huge, but I didn't feel that way. It lacked deep flavor. The bangain bhartha eggplant dish was a few tiny eggplants sautéed in a sauce that tasted like straight tahini. Super bland, especially for Indian food. The saffron rice was good, the basmati rice was underwhelming. The raita was good, avocado on top was weird. Not everything has to have a twist. The dessert was also disappointing. I was hoping for some sort of Indian dessert like gulab jamun or gajar halwa or some sort of mango lassi ice cream. They had a chocolate cake (very average) and a saffron cheesecake which must've come from the freezer given how hard it was in the center. I expect Indian food to be full of flavor and blow you away in that department. The most flavorful and delicious things I ate at this dinner were flavorful because I put a lot chutney on them. So the chutney was great, everything else not so much. I want to reiterate that the meal was fine, nothing was bad. But for the reputation, the price, the hype... it's just not worth all that. read more

ROOH is always so good!! Went out with the coworkers and got to try a bunch of things. Here my review. The Jackfruit was fantastic. It was so good that we ordered a second for the table! The Butter Chicken, Sweet Potato Chaat, and the Dal were also all really, really good! All the sauces were creamy and delicious. The Bagara Baingan, Tandoori Cauliflower, and Kebala Chicken were decent, but nothing special. The Sabudana and Chili Cheese Kolcha were both a little bit too spicy for me. The drink descriptions all scared me a little, but I ended up with a Betel Collins and a Queen of Spice and they were both actually really good! read more

I would say this was a one and done place for me. the food was decent. i liked the paneer pasanda the gravy was really good, but its a standard dish you can get at any indian restaurant. the sweet potato chaat was different but could have used more sauce. the dal lacked a bit of flavor could definitely have been spicier. read more

Did you know that Rooh is a Michelin restaurant? Eating at Rooh is a sensory experience! The flavors are out of this world and the atmosphere is trendy and progressive. Located in Fulton Market - it's a must-visit spot. Can't wait to go back! This is what we ordered : 1 Butter Chicken : Creamy & little sweet! Comes with Rice 2 Whole Sea Bass Wrapped In Banana Leaf : It was definitely flaky and delicious! I wouldn't order it again as it's pretty pricey for the quantity provided. But worth the try! 3 Kerala Chicken : A nice appetizer - crispy & flavourful with curry leaves 4 Sabudana Cutlet : Soft & a good simple appetizer 5 Saffron Cheesecake : It's more of a white chocolate + cream cheese combination with saffron sauce poured over it. I personally did not like it as O am not a big fan of cream cheese. If you're, please do try it out. 6 Molten Chocolate Cake : Any chocolate lovers Fav :) Yumm!!!!! I will visit again for a special occasion cause it's quite pricey. TIP : Check this spot out if you're craving for some good south asian food!! read more

4.5 stars, rounded up The good: service, food, drinks The room for improvement: coursing, ambience Dined in for two on a Saturday night. It was easy to get a reservation on Wednesday for the following weekend. The food was all extremely thoughtful, warming, well portioned, and inventive. There's not a dish I wouldn't be delighted to eat again. Our dishes in order of favorite to least favorite: Sweet potato chaat: 11/10. Jesus Christ. Green pea kulcha: 10/10. So indulgent. Paneer pasanda: 9/10. Perfect alt for butter chicken Salmon pulusu: 7/10. Perfectly cooked salmon (they ask if you want it medium or well, we got well and it was still tender), though the mashed potatoes were not a star for me- still good though. Cocktails- I got the mezcal drink And it was astounding. Please order it. Even if you don't like mezcal. It's warming, with great depth, and super sippable so it lasted most of my meal. The server was a delight (maybe Adam was the name on our check?), and apologized that our naan and rice came long before our mains. I wish they'd coursed out better but if that's the worst part, no complaints here. The only other downside was they seated us in a half circle booth intended for 4 (we were 2), near the bathrooms and stairs, so it was heavily trafficked and not super ambient. I'd love to sit elsewhere next time and I think it would help. Overall though, to summarize: pissed I haven't been before, can't wait to try again. Can't miss with any of the dishes. read more
