ROOH Chicago Progressive Indian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

This is a might try Indian fusion restaurant. From the atmosphere to the service and food, it is amazing. People are nice and friendly and explain the food so well. One of the best sea bass I have ever had and the best butter chicken I have ever tried in USA or India. If you like Indian food go here. Lastly get the cheesecake, it is not your typical cheesecake, it will send your mind and tummy into nirvana.

I did not realize this is a restaurant with Michelin Guide rated in 2021. Do not hold an expectation of a typical Indian restaurant that near where you live which serve spicy and spicy and spicy curry. The curry they served is kind of like the sauce that you' ll only taste in French restaurant. It is so smooth that you did not even notice that is curry. The good thing about this restaurant is that they constantly change their menu, the bad thing about the restaurant is also they constantly change the menu which you hope you can order the food in pictures while you are searching for the restaurant. Overall, I will say it should be a great restaurant. I guess I did not order their best dishes yet, as some of the dishes did not meet my expectation for their price.

ROOH was a fantastic experience and the best Indian food I believe in Chicago. Service was standard, quick, and accommodating. The food was delicious, and the best dish I believe was the Bengali Lamb Shank. Nice cocktails and in a busy neighborhood. Highly recommend this spot, and do the chef’s tasting menu which is 4 courses, $65 per person.

Nice family time here with great food and service. We ordered the fish in banana leaf and butter chicken. Avocado bhel and sweet potato chat were delicious. Meal ended with Saffron cheesecake which had different textures and main cheesecake was airy and had nice hint of saffron.

Truly an upscale Indian dining experience. Food, cocktails, ambiance, service everything was on point. Perfect spot for Indian cuisine lovers and a date night. We got the chef’s 4 course menu’s and it was perfect.

For a fusion upscale Indian food experience, this place is great. The ambience, space, color palates, all creates a sophisticated, yet laid back Indian vibe. Service was really nice as well. The Menu is limited, and not a typical Indian restaurant menu. However, the items are pretty unique, barring couple of standard items like Butter chicken and Naan. Not so great Part: While drinks are designed to align with basic taste flavors, infusing ayurvedic and herbal ingredients, honestly it was just "Meh". It was either just plain sweet or sour, masking all other subtle flavors or smells. Small plates are unique and creative, but lacked taste complexity or finesse in texture. Avacado Bhel, is more sour tasting than balanced tangy, and Potato Mousse on Lamb Keema is a complete misfit. I would've also preferred Jackfruit cutlet to have a shredded texture, as opposed to mashed inside. However, all of them were pretty tasty in its own unique way. Amazing: The Stars of the food is definitely entrees, especially Sea Bass. Fish is cooked beautifully, and the Malabar Sauce is mind blowing, flavor packet and amazing consistency. Being an expert on the ingredients that goes into this sauce, I can say for sure, getting to this consistency is great work. Butter chicken is different and nice as well. Most Indian places use chicken breast cubes for butter chicken, but a better way is to use grilled thighs, and they are spot on with that. One thing to note is, most dishes are mildly spicy (2/5 level) and you cant bring it down. Deserts are very unique and fantastic too. Great way to top off your experience. Overall, really unique Indian place to spent an experience with family or friends group.

Located in the bustling Fulton Market neighborhood of Chicago, ROOH is a restaurant you do not want to miss. The ambiance is quiet with subdued lighting and earthy color choices contributing to the laid back vibe. The food is top tier, all three of our dishes came in rich, creamy sauces with herbs sprinkled on top. All three (Grilled Prawn, Butter Chicken, Paneer Pasanda) were some of the best dishes we had our whole trip and were excellently prepared. The cocktails were also exceptional and paired well with our meal. I would highly recommend checking out this spot, I know I will be back next time I am in town!

My family and I went to Rooh for dinner last night and it was absolutely exceptional. I savored literally every bite. Our entire table ordered the 4 Course Chef’s Tasting Menu, so I was able to try a wide array of Rooh’s offerings. My favorite dishes that I ate were the Grilled Prawn Small Plate and the Sea Bass (with basmati rice or saffron rice). The sauce on the grilled prawns was particularly outstanding for its incredible flavor, a touch spicy with fantastic Indian spices. Excellent all around: service, food, atmosphere, and meal pacing– I highly recommend!
