"Rooh calls itself “progressive Indian,” which basically just means amping up traditional recipes with creative spins, cute glassware, and snappy decor, like the striking mural of a woman greeting you at the entrance. It’s a great place to meet friends for a Happy Hour that carries over into dinner. Start with the fluffy-topped Paan Clouds cocktail, featuring local Watershed gin, paan, date, honey, lemon and, yes, goat cheese. Add a round of several small plates like their green chickpea bhel, which remixes the classic, puffed rice street food by adding fresh avocado and mango. We also like the sweet potato chaat with fried kale, a beautifully-presented riff on palak patta chaat. The butter chicken entree is just as tender and delicious as you’d expect, and even better with some warm naan." - Erin Edwards
