Man what an experience. I never felt pain all over my face until I had the Rouge Big Rowdy Sandwich. If you can handle spice get medium because Rouge genuinely made it impossible to enjoy the Sandwich. After a long break I tried my friend’s sandwich, and it was delicious. Mango lassi was sweet and cold and perfect for when my face was burning.8.5/10

I don’t eat any meat so options are limited but the side salad & potatoes were phenomenal. Honestly the Chicken sandos the people had next to me looked & smelled

I got the white rooster and I was disappointed by the flavor. The chutney that came with it was not as tangy and the chicken itself was covered in spices but didn't have much depth in flavor. I got the spiciest level and it was ok.

Solid, well-seasoned, tender, and juicy fried chicken. I’ve heard about how spicy the fried chicken is, so I got scared and ordered the lowest spice level. I’m happy to report it had zero spiciness. If you like a little bit of heat, you should order the second lowest spice level.

Food was expensive for how small the sandwich is. Flavor is okay. Got the level 3 spice and it wasn’t spicy at all. Left the restaurant feeling hungry despite ordering $23 worth of food.

Got a 3 piece boneless chicken order, medium spice with some potato pakora.The chicken is maybe some of the tastiest fried chicken I’ve ever had.I wish the prices were like 20% lower and the space had more seating, but I’ll be back!

I want to preface this by saying I love spicy food. That being said, when the spice overtakes the food it’s not enjoyable to me. Rowdy lets you choose the level luckily. I started level 3 because again I love spicy food. I could tell you what it taste like because the spicy overshadowed the rest of the ingredients. Was it I’m going to die hot no but it definitely was stronger that the other ingredients. Server 5⭐️ it was also a lil pricey 3 items came out $26. I didn’t finish the sandwich
