At ~40% occupancy, service was nearly non-existent. We waited 60 mins for our food (after ordering), and the portion sizes were way smaller than we were told. At the end of a 2-hour dinner, we left hungry and spent a lot of money. We won't be back.

We enjoyed our dining experience at Rooh. We were greeted warmly upon arrival. All four of us were impressed with the food and the drinks. We all thought that the sweet potato chaat was amazing. The service was impeccable. A super enjoyable experience. We will be back!

My friends and I really enjoyed ourselves last night. This was our first time dining there. We enjoyed our appetizers. Entrees and dessert. Also, the drinks were amazing! We hope to come back again soon.

I Used to come here all the time. I came here today for my birthday and it definitely wasn’t what it used to be. Everything was fine but they gave us 2 pieces of short ribs and everyone around us got 3. When I asked the waitress she had no clue about anything. The sweet potato chat also was really different and not the quality it used to be. Not sure if I’ll be back

If you threw a dart at this menu, you would love what you were serve served. Wonderfully flavored dishes and delicious cocktails. They’re great with dietary restrictions as well. One of the best restaurants in Columbus. Worth every penny.

Very good food and experience overall. Some dishes like the Cauliflower Koliwada, Feta Salad, Sweet Potato Chaat and creative cocktails, desserts were standout and fun, while a few mains felt average or small for the price. Still a must visit overall for the unique twists and vibe.
This is one of the Indian fine dining restaurants located in downtown Columbus. The ambiance and location are excellent, and there’s also an attached bar. The menu is limited but includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. If you’re looking to enjoy authentic Indian flavors in a fine dining setting, this is a great choice. However, if you’re a foodie or prefer generous portions, this place might not be ideal, as the quantities are small and prices are on the higher side.

I was visiting this place after 4.5 years, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing compared to what it used to be. I am not sure whether there has been a change in management or new chefs in the kitchen, but the overall taste and quality of the food have noticeably declined.
I ordered several items, including the Mango Mule, Kababs, Chaat, Biryani, Keema, Dal, and a few more dishes. Out of everything we tried, the only item that truly tasted good was the Lamb Keema. The rest lacked the flavor, balance, and freshness that this restaurant once delivered so well. It felt far from the standards I remembered from my previous visits.
Another odd experience was being served entrées and main courses on quarter plates. It simply didn’t make sense to place substantial dishes on such small plates, especially when sharing. I had to specifically request the server to bring larger plates so that we could properly enjoy the meal.
To be fair, the server was polite, attentive, and efficient, and I have no complaints regarding the service. The staff did their best, and their professionalism stood out.
However, the atmosphere felt dull, lacking the vibrant energy and warmth that once made the place enjoyable. Overall, it was not the experience I had hoped for after so many years.

The food at Rooh is consistently fantastic. We tend to do small plates and share everything. My go-to fave is the sweet potato chaat—we often have to get more of that because everyone loves it. The drinks are always good, too, and go so well with the food. Love this restaurant!

I found the food at Rooh amazing, and service was attentive. I was there early (5:30 pm) on a weeknight and it was not noisy at all. The only drawback that I had was that their happy hour drinks are a bit small for the price. Tasty, but not a lot of it.

Rooh is the best Indian restaurant we've ever visited in Columbus.
There is an elegance to everything ordered, and the flavors are truly impeccable. We ordered butter chicken, palak paneer, nawabi malai kofta, lamb shank nihari with garlic naan, and rice. The butter chicken and palak paneer stood out for their incredible texture and flavor. I particularly loved the lamb shank; the sauce was flavorful, and the lamb was beautifully tender. The butter chicken is also amazing, offering complexity to its flavors. I highly recommend pairing it with the garlic naan. The mango lassi was also fresh and we ordered carrot halwa cake in dessert and it was delicious —all were top-notch dishes. The food presentation reminiscent of high end restaurants that focus on simplicity, texture and flavors.
The service was great, and the staff was friendly, even though the place was packed and busy since we went over the weekend.
