Jheel Gandhi
We had an amazing experience at Rooh for my mom’s birthday! It was our first time there, and we were delighted with everything. The staff was very friendly, and we got a fantastic table. The food was outstanding, offering creative takes on classic dishes that we adored. The drinks were equally delightful, including the Jungle Juice which surprisingly combined coffee and nutmeg to perfection. The evening was topped off with a delightful birthday surprise. Thank you, Rooh, for making it such a memorable celebration. We’re eagerly looking forward to our next visit!

The food is nice. The staff is really good. They helped us understand the menu. They had birthday special complimentary ice-cream. I would recommend having a stuff kulcha.

The food is very tasty. Not only is it pleasing to the taste buds, it’s also very beautiful to look at. The customer service is really good and the servers are also very attentive.

If you want to have baby portions/samplers of delicious food and want to pay the price for 2 servings for the same, then this is the place. The food is really delicious, but by the time you take a bite, it’s not there anymore. Will the ambiance make it up to it? Maybe it depends on where they seat you. Ambiance is good – but will I visit there again just for that? No, thanks. Also the service – the waiter wanted to hand us check so bad, she started taking our plates while we were trying to eat their bite size portions slowly. I’d definitely prefer having a decent portioned delicious meal somewhere else twice instead of pretending to have a ‘luxurious’ meal here.

Had been there for lunch on the Saturday 24th Jun. We had booked a table for 6 including a stroller for my grand daughter. We were told that as per the hotel policy stroller are not allowed inside seating so we were given seats outside .

Well, I have visited many Indian restaurants in Bay Area and I was NOT impressed with ROOH. They have a very limited menu and in that limited menu they didn’t cook the lamb chops well. The food and drinks were average and not worth the price. With handful of items on the menu I would expect each item in the menu to be perfect. Unless you want to enjoy the ambience and just be at the fancy restaurant or you have extra cash to spend , this can be the place otherwise this restaurant is not value for money.

We love Indian cuisine and were craving for Chicken Masala when we were in the neighborhood. The decor of ROOH is wide-spaced, classy and brilliant with cozy ambiance.

Spent an evening here with friends. The food was super rich and tasty. We tried some amazing veg and non veg starters and they were all very yummy. The pinwheel paneer and butter chicken was awesome and the Tandoori roti’s were amazingly soft. The whisky based drinks cocktails were not very strong. I prefer them to be a little more potent

Initially, I was super skeptical of rooh, but overall, their flavors and textures won me over! It is definitely pricey, but worth it for some dishes. Here’s my review for the vegetarian items –

We have visited this restaurant once before and loved the food here. Our experience this time was no different. We tried the paniyaram with peanut chutney, roti with paneer pinwheel and the chai & chocolate ice-cream. We liked all the dishes but the paniyaram was our favorite, the dough was super fresh and the accompanying sauce was fantastic!
