"Capacity: 10-150 If the “dining room” in your apartment only fits four in a pinch, chances are you’re going to need a private space for any celebration you host. Lucky for you, Rooh has four options to choose from across two floors. Each has a different personality—you can pick something a little more quiet upstairs, or a busier space downstairs near the bar. The food has personality too—Rooh offers twists on Indian staples like chili cheese kulcha with shishito peppers, avocado and apple bhel, and pork belly topped with a sesame curry leaf crumble. A dinner in a place that's jewel-toned, swanky, and filled with velvet booths sure beats sitting cross-legged around your coffee table." - veda kilaru
"Rooh is an upscale Indian restaurant in the West Loop that’s great for a casual business dinner or eating with family. You’ll find fine-dining versions of dishes like chili cheese kulcha, avocado bhel, and butter chicken. The large space has two levels and each has a different personality—the downstairs bar area is busy and loud, while the upstairs dining room is quiet and filled with comfortable velvet booths. It’s a little like a Choose Your Own Adventure, but with more curry." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
"Rooh is an upscale Indian restaurant right on Randolph that’s great for a date, casual business dinner, or getting together with family. You’ll find pretty versions of dishes like jackfruit kofta, and butter chicken. The large space has two levels and each has a different feel—the downstairs bar area is busy and loud, while the upstairs is nicer, quiet, and filled with comfortable velvet booths. Plus, there’s a large tented patio that’s full of plants. It’s a little like a Choose Your Own Adventure, but with more curry." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen
"The modern Indian fare at Rooh continues to impress, pushing the boundaries of staples like butter chicken while introducing diners to sea bass wrapped in banana leaves, and tandoori-smoked pork belly. As for as upscale, yet approachable, Indian cuisine, Rooh is probably to the top restaurant in Chicago." - Naomi Waxman
"I consider Rooh Chicago one of the city's best Indian restaurants; its owners Manish and Rina Mallick are partnering with Okan on Kor and bring crossover Indian-Turkish influences to the new concept." - Ashok Selvam
