We sat at the bar since it was all day happy hour on Mondays only at the bar. Bella was our bartender and she did a great job getting our drinks out quickly and making sure our food came out just as we ordered. She also engaged us in conversation and we had a great time celebrating my friend's birthday + Diwali!

Said they had Happy Hour specials but didn't charge Happy Hour prices especially on a Monday. Not going back.

The service was amazing from the time we walked. The server was knowledgeable and helpful! The food was very flavorful and well presented. Highly recommend!

Great experience! We started with delicious cocktails—Malabar Old fashioned and the Paan Clouds. Later we also ordered the Golden Ghee and Mindnight in Mumbai. All the drinks were great! We ordered three small plates: Avocado & Green Chickpea Bhel, Beef Short Rib Koftas, and the Samosa Chaat.. all were excellent. Our favorite was the chaat but it was hard to choose! For our large plates we got the short ribs, stuffed eggplant and the tiger shrimp. We like them all and each of use liked what we ordered for ourselves the best 😀. Dessert was the carrot cake and mango sorbet— so good! The service was great! Our server did a great job explaining the menu. She was wonderful in accounting for food allergies as we ordered. We will return!!

The Short North area on High St on a Friday night is a little crazy. There are dozens of restaurants/bars, but most of them are packed on a Friday night.
We walked up and down the whole street looking for a place to eat where we wouldn't have to wait at least 45 minutes. Rooh wasn't too busy and we were getting pretty hungry so we decided to give it a try.
Now we know why they weren't crowded. The food is not very good. And expensive too.
Rooh is trying to be an elevated Indian restaurant, but all it ends up doing is making stuff expensive.
All we ordered was an appetizer (sweet potato chaat) and an entree (butter chicken) for the 2 of us to share.
I had to dig through the sweet potato chaat to find any sweet potato. The taste was OK.
The butter chicken had very little spice and almost no heat. It also only came with either rice or naan (not both).
Just for those 2 items and a couple drinks (don't order the Kingfisher beer), our bill was almost $80.

Rooh is a must‑try if you’re looking for a modern Indian dining experience that’s creative, beautiful, and perfect for a special night out. For classic Indian spice and hearty flavour, though, you might want to go in with tempered expectations.

Authentic Indian cuisine with an upscale twist. Appetizers were amazing, especially the samosa chaat. Cocktails were imaginative and delicious. Entrees were hearty and delectable. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall, great experience.

Always a fantastic experience! I just love the food, the cocktails, and the wonderful service—everything is fabulous!

We really enjoyed our dinner at ROOH. The food and cocktails were excellent—highlights were the chicken tikka small plate, the tiger prawns and lamb large plate, and the chai tiramisu for dessert. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The only thing I wish was different is that the large plates were a bit bigger, as the portions felt more like tasting sizes. That said, I understand the menu is designed for sharing and a more curated experience. Overall, a creative and flavorful meal with a great atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, incredibly knowledgeable staff and incredible drink options!
FOR VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS: One of the best Indian food restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. From the ambience, to the service and friendliness, to, of course, the food itself, everything was impeccable. The food choices are extremely varied for a vegetarian which was amazing and the staff was able to accommodate additional dietary restrictions/allergies which was a huge plus.
I would come back here regularly to eat; the food and experience were equally amazing

Ordered delivery. Got to me really quick, but the food was cold, bad start. Mid $20 price range for 4 pieces of chicken is absurd, and its not even close to good enough to justify it. The reviews being as high as they are for leads makes me think that they HAVE to be batting their reviews. Absolutely not eating from here again.

Always enjoy Rooh, and the cauliflower was fire as usual, but I was underwhelmed by the rest of the meal- as in I'd never recommend any else of what we ordered to anyone. However, the service was great, and they went the extra mile to make my friend's birthday great. Going to call it an off night and will definitely be back, hopefully to leave a better review.
Nadia
It is an all around wonderful experience with the immersive decor preparing you for the eclectic fusion of the flavors to come. The delectable choices of dishes, so elegently presented pay homage to this ancient cuisine in what we have come to know and love as the flavors of India and here with a little touch of poetic flare! We will be back. Thank you the service was excellent .

Rooh was perfect in every way. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food was beautiful and the service was spectacular. Bartender, MaryAnn, will make you the cocktail of your dreams. You won't regret dining there!!
