Love rooh and have visited most off their locations
Pisco sour was amazing!
Butternut croquette was decent - could have used more sauce.
Paneer rolls were average - very makhni gravy. Would have like some tikka masala spicy flavor. Paneer was also a bit stretchy.
Rotis were ok.
Texture of gulab was disappointing. A bit disconnected textured and too sweet.
Would still visit again to try a few other things - likely appetizers only next time.
The main course and dessert were definitely not worth the price....read full review
