First of all, beautiful restaurant! I am a sucker for GOLD! I will be honest, my first choice in food is rarely Indian... however, my husband really enjoys Indian food and has been waiting to try ROOH for ages. I had reservations and had a slight wait (less than 10 minutes) after arrival -- I try to be understanding as the world is still understaffed since COVID. We were warming greeted by wait staff, and began to look over the menu. This offerings were definitely elevated Indian food. First time I dine at an Indian establishment, I order butter or tikka chicken in order to gauge the kitchen - this hit the mark for me! It was creamy and not too acidic -- chicken was cooked perfectly and moist - flavor profile that created a symphony on the buds! While this might not be my first choice to dine out (due to not craving this cuisine), I won't complain if this is the restaurant of choice. read more

I was a bit disappointed coming to this restaurant. The food is mediocre Indian food. The prices are extremely extremely high for what the food is. The drinks were ok. I did like how there are unique drinks, like I got one which goat cheese foam in top. The atmosphere is very pretty, I loved the painting. Overall the food isn't worth it here, I think there are better Indian restaurants that are affordable in Columbus. read more

Came in with my family on a whim and we had the best experience! We didn't have a reservation, but were able to get seated right away on a Saturday night, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and walked us through the menu after learning it was our first time visiting Rooh. The ambiance was pleasant, wasn't too loud or quiet. There was a large mural on the wall when walking in that was amazing. Now let's get to the food. I'm not kidding when I say my family said "wow" after every single bite. It was all SO good. We split about 3-4 small plates and 2 large plates and everything was so flavorful and delicious. I had the mango mule to drink, which was also really good. If you're looking for a modern take on Indian food, Rooh is where to go. However, if you're looking for traditional Indian food, this is not it. We also learned they change some of their menu items from time to time, so I'm very excited to go back and try new dishes they have! read more

I have made a reservation here and went with my friends. We were seated immediately. The decor and ambiance was very cozy and modern. The staff were friendly and polite. Their drink menu is excellent and most of the drinks we tried had a great flavor and a twist as well. I would definitely go for the drinks. We also tried few small plates among them the chicken, cauliflower and kale chat were delicious. The lamb kheema was good, but it had a pungent lamb smell and the pav was amazing. Coming to the main course we got the 1. Panner Pinwheel (4/5), the panner was super soft and the gravy was good. 2. Butter Chicken (4/5). Both of the gravy's had a similar flavor profile and the chicken was a tad bit chewy. Overall a good twist on Indian food with great drink selection. There is street parking but might be hard to find. There is a parking garage on E Goodale St. read more

I went to rooh for the New Year's Eve dinner last year. The food was top notch and it tasted amazing. It is a modern and elegant restaurant and I totally loved the ambiance. The place is quite spacious. The staff was friendly and professional and service was quick. They change the menu frequently we got to try the New Year's menu. We ordered everything from the menu as we were a large group. From the appetizer menu I loved the Cauliflower Koliwada and Malia Chicken Tikka. The chicken Tikka was so creamy, rich and flavourful it was so filling that I could eat anything. I would love to go back and try out their new menu. read more

I had been eyeing for Rooh for awhile now and glad to be able to try out with the 3 courses menu for the Columbus Restaurant Week. To me, I do like it gives me a bit of classy vibe, along with the super friendly staffs. Their bar is right in the center of the restaurant and the dinning area is surrounded by it. Prior for my dinning experience, I did some research and their goal is focusing on bringing Indian cuisine with its modern twist. And that is one thing that draw my attention and want to try it out. Throughout the 3 courses meal, all the dishes are delicately plated. I am by no mean an expert in Indian cuisine, however, there is some unique flavors and ingredients that is new to me. I think this is where the modern twist came in. Cauliflower Koliwada | The cauliflower is slightly deep fried. I like the breading is just enough to cover the cauliflower and still provide some crispiness to it. It get tossed with the Peanut Thecha, which is a peanut green chili chutney. And a touch of lemon sour cream on the side. Rooh Butter Chicken | Red Pepper Makhani, Fenugreek Butter Powder. It does have a tiny bit of heat kicking on my tongue. The sauce is very smooth and rich. Barfi Cheesecake | 64% Chocolate, Toasted Besan, Miso Butterscotch. This may become my favorite from the meal. The presentation is incredible. There is so many flavor bouncing off from each other. The different type of sauce give me a complete different experience. My first time trying toasted besan and it taste so good along with the creamy cheesecake. There is a couples piece of popcorn [I think] as well. read more

As others have said, this is, at its core, overpriced indian food. If budget is no concern, you won't be disappointed here, but you also won't be wowed. Butter Chicken - 4/5 As far as I can tell, this is the star of the menu. Short Ribs - 2/5 Just two short ribs for over $30. Tasty, but hard to justify the price. Naan - 3/5 Very good, but again, barely any of it, despite it being just bread. Saffron Rice - 1/5 A completely insufficient amount of saffron. Tastes like regular rice. While the service is solid and the ambiance very upscale, you're paying a big premium here for the High Street location. While that doesn't make Rooh a "bad" choice, it doesn't compare favorably to alternatives. read more

Food: to summarize, it's overpriced Indian food. The pav bhaji that came with the hyderabadi keema was actually nice and buttery. The hyderabadi keema was a bit too salty for me. I was disappointed with the special Kerala spicy fried chicken because it was nothing but a pretty chicken Manchurian. It wasn't even spicy-it was sweet. The butter chicken was alright-pretty standard. I wish the pieces were a bit smaller so they could have been better coated with the sauce. The garlic naan was nice but dainty. The lamb shank nihari was nicely cooked and fall-off-the-bone except it was bland. I rarely need more salt with my food but this one needed a lot more salt. The mango coconut sorbet was good but the salted strawberry lassi ice cream was a bit weird. I also wasn't a big fan of the saffron rice ($5). It had some weird chemical after taste. Ambiance: 4/5 This place is a great place for a first few dates or if you're hosting people from many different cultures. The vibe is nice except it gets a bit too loud sometimes Service: here's where I can't seem to decide if it's 2/5 or 3/5 for me. The staff was very friendly and we even had a bubbly server. The only problem was it took waaay to long to get the rest of our food. We were there for two hours and we didn't even get to finish our food before we had to give up and go home. We ordered our appetizers together with our drinks and main entrees so you would think things will be fast. The appetizers arrived quickly but then our main dish took at least 15 mins to arrive after we finished our appetizers. We didn't realize the naan would be too tiny so we ordered two more. One came at least another 15 mins since the order so we had to re-order the other one. Guess what, it didn't arrive quickly. By then we lost our appetite but since it was my husband's birthday we decided to get desserts. It didn't take that long to get the desserts but it was still longer than promised.-our server said they should be there by the time she gets us to-go containers. Nope. Eventually we just got too bored to even finish our desserts. Overall I would still recommend this place for the vibe and ambiance but for the food and service I don't think it's for me. It didn't help that it was too hard to find parking since this was in downtown and some event was happening. read more

Had a wonderful meal at Rooh. They serve upscale Indian cuisine. I loved the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The interior decor is modern with bright colors. Here's what we got (descriptions taken from the menu): 〰 Paneer Pinwheels: Red Pepper Makhani, Cashew, Bell Pepper Jam, Fenugreek Butter Powder. This was delicious and had a good spice to it. I loved the presentation! 〰 Garlic Naan: with Cilantro, Clarified Butter 〰 Kerala Fried Chicken: Curry Aioli, Kerela Sauce, Pickled Radish. These had great flavor. I would get it again! 〰 Malda Cocktail: Vodka, Coconut, Ginger, Mango, Citrus Overall, the portions were pretty small, and the food was pretty pricey. That is to be expected though, when visiting an upscale restaurant that has small plates/ tapas. This is a great place to visit for a special occasion or to bring someone from out of town. The food quality was really good, and you could tell that the food and drink menus were curated with thought. Fun Fact, it was recently named the sixth best restaurant in Columbus by Columbus Monthly! read more

Run don't walk to Rooh. I came here for restaurant week in January of 2022 and didn't stop thinking about their Paneer Pinwheels ever since. Rooh has the most unbelievably balanced flavor palette of earthy nutty and tangy and fresh. They have truly honed each dish to perfection and a beautiful amalgamation of flavor. You can taste the effort and intention in each dish and drink. I returned this year for restaurant week as well, and between my friend and I, we ordered the mushroom kulcha (a delectable stuffed naan) the chicken croquettes, the mahi mahi, paneer pinwheel, and strawberry lassi for dessert. Rooh simply doesn't miss. Not to mention the service is outstanding and the ambience is elevated, chic, and classy. read more

I just have one pic that I took because I was so disappointed I didn't even take pics of the food. Went to celebrate mom's birthday (the bday dessert never came even tho the host first said she'd bring it out which isnt a big deal but it was disappointing) Starting w drinks, I got the bollywood breeze which was refreshing but the serving size was so small it wasn't worth it. My fam friends got the paan drink which was fine but the kesar cocktail was just horrible. The jaljeera cocktail didn't have jaljeera flavour at all, and it came in such a tiny glass that they might as well just give it in a shot glass. So not worth $15 drinks. Appetizers- got the cauliflower and it was legit 6 florets. Very sweet, not crispy and the sauce that it came with was not a lot. The mushroom kulcha is the only thing I liked. We also got the dum biryani arancini which was an interesting twist to Indian and Italian, not sure if that goes well together. But there were only 3 tiny balls... not worth the price again. Main dishes- Got the saag and that was tasteless and the quantity was also not fulfilling whatsoever. We also got the paneer pinwheel and for a dish that's supposed to be $27, they only gave us TWO pieces of paneer. The sauce might as well be the same as kroger's paneer tikka masala sauce but sweeter. Literally no taste, and it felt like they added ketchup to the sauce. There was just too much sauce. Also, logically if you go to an Indian restaurant, it's dumb not to give spoons. I understand you're catering to a mainly white market but how is one supposed to eat gravy with a fork and a knife. The garlic naan was delicious tho! As an Indian, I am highly disappointed. I'm willing to pay the price for the food and ambiance but the food should at least be good quality. This restaurant is clearly for those who don't have Indian food regularly or just want to go there for the appearance of fancy. We paid $300 for 6 people which includes 6 drinks, 3 appetizers, 3 main dishes (2 paneer) and 7 garlic naans. I don't go out of my way to leave bad reviews, but I genuinely want people to be aware of how worthless this whole experience was. read more

Rooh Columbus - Bollywood Breeze - Indian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The food is AMAZING. This was the best dinner I've had in a very long time. Rich, beautiful flavors and textures. Butter chicken with rice is the star, lamb app is fab. Naan is amazing (could use an acidic dipping sauce though, gets too heavy with the entree sauces). The service had some misses. It's good but not great. The family running the restaurant is FANTASTIC and attentive. However, after the lovely meal you have to box up your leftovers yourself at the table. It's unusual in such a nice setting and they're difficult leftovers to box up. The tables aren't cleaned between courses so there's sauce all over the table which is a little unpleasant. The courses were not timed out well. Too fast then too slow. If you order special naan they just bring double naan and bring it all at the same time. It's weird to not offer it be replacement to the standard naan or why not bring the extra naan as an app? Will def be back but will be hopeful the operation tightens a little. read more

The Indian dishes were very creative. As vegetarians, we tried two small plates: the Dahi Puri, which is a must-try, and the Avocado Bhel, which we found not worth it and would recommend skipping. We ordered all four vegetarian entrees: the Achari Paneer Sag was very flavorful, the Nawabi Kofta was on the sweeter side but still very tasty, the Paneer Pinwheel was good, and we absolutely loved the Stuffed Eggplant. For dessert, we had the Jaggery Ice Cream, which was a bit too sweet for my taste but still an interesting try. We also enjoyed the Pumpkin Gulab Jamun, which was good. The service was awesome - we had a young Indian lady serve us very courteous and helpful. The ambiance is great; a good sit-down place and clean. The food was not heavy or greasy - very light on the stomach, and we walked back to our hotel in 18 minutes with no issues. A must-try place if you are in Columbus, Ohio. read more

Rooh Columbus - Indian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Visited from out of town for a football game. We were looking for a place to get a last minute reservation for dinner that wasn't at 9 pm and this was it. While I have Indian fairly regularly at home- I have never had upscale Indian before- and all I have to say is wow why aren't there more people doing this?! Drink menu had a great variety. I ordered a non alcoholic option which was delicious and well presented. The sweet potato chaat is a must. Two days later and I'm still thinking about the dish. Butter chicken had great flavor. My regret is not getting traditional naan. We had the Thai cheese version tasted like a spicy cheese quesadilla to me. We are headed to NYC this winter and after this experience decided to book a reservation at the executive chef's place there Baar Baar. If you are looking for unique spot for a date night this is a great choice. read more

Indian food with a modern twist - An absolute EXPLOSION of flavor! From the moment you walk in, you already see the aesthetics and modern atmosphere of the restaurant. It's very open in the front of the restaurant with the big windows. It is more private and darker in the back. We went for a friend's birthday and while waiting, the bartender gave us a (pretty cool looking) menu for drinks. I believe I got the mango mule...it had a little spicy kick to it! It's a sip on drink for sure as it is a little "heavier." My friend got the hyderabad tonic (Turmeric-Infused Gin, Citrus, Orange & Thyme Syrup, Tonic) and it was soooo refreshing. Love the touch of turmeric! As for food...where do I even begin?! We started off with the assorted papad & chutney sampler which has Mint & Cilantro, Chili & Peanut, Tomatillo & Green Mango. YUMMY! Gluten free also :) We also got the pork belly, butter chicken, beef short rib curry, some type of chick-pea dish, mushroom dish, and sides of naan and rice. Honestly, I cannot even describe the taste as it's something you need to experience for yourself. A lot of the dishes are gluten free for anyone with allergies. They also have a limited happy hour menu and service ROCKS! read more

We ate at Rooh in the Short North for the first time and it was superb! This isn't your run-of-the-mill Indian buffet. Rooh's progressive pan-Indian menu is modern and a few options meld classic Indian dishes with midwestern concepts (like shepherds pie and pinwheels). The atmosphere is very cosmopolitan, cocktails are inventive, but plan to drop some coin. The menu is pricy, but we all thought it was worth it. The owners have a great story about opening the restaurant just before the pandemic shutdown and were incredibly hospitable when we checked in for dinner. There is definitely something to be said about the "Big City" vibes of this place and it excites me that Columbus has such an inventive, modern take on Indian cuisine. read more

Wow! What a delicious and wonderful experience. I've heard good things about Rooh so I was excited to finally check it out. One of our coworkers has been here many times so we let her order for the table. They just launched their happy hour a week ago. We tried pretty much all of the small bites. The Dahi Puri was one of our favorites. The cauliflower koliwada was also delicious. Drinks were great too. Although I got a mocktail and they charged me the same price as an actual cocktail. For dinner my favorites were the lamb shank, paneer pinwheel And spiced chickpea curry. We loved the decor and the service was good. I would definitely recommend coming here! read more

I've been waiting to try Rooh FOREVER and it was very much worth the wait. We got to the restaurant right as happy hour was ending (weekdays 4-6p) so we were able to sneak in some quick orders. I had a glass of pinot grigio and we shared the smoked pork belly skewer off the bar bites menu. Pork belly is obviously delicious but that glaze was to die for. Next was the green pea and goat cheese kulcha, which was such a comforting dish to indulge in before the entrees. The bread was fluffy and warm, and the creamy goat cheese paired perfectly with the savory and spicy filling. Entrees were the beef short ribs and butter chicken. While the sauce on my short ribs was delicious, I had total entree envy for my friend's butter chicken. That butter chicken could bring world peace, I'm not kidding. Just give everyone some butter chicken from Rooh and our problems will be solved! And finally, the pumpkin jamun for dessert was so so so delicious. I'm a sucker for anything pumpkin and this did not disappoint. Creamy pumpkin ice cream with a warm butter cake and pepitas? I mean honestly how could you go wrong. I am not ashamed to say I ate the whole thing in record time. I loved Rooh's modern take on Indian cuisine -- the flavors you expect are all there but are presented in new and creative ways. This will definitely be somewhere I take friends and family in the future! read more

Exactly what it describes itself to be, Rooh Columbus takes Indian food and gives it some modern flair!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was decorated nicely and our server was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the food is really what shined - the sweet potato chaat appetizer was amazing! All of the different textures in the dish made it so enjoyable. We ordered the butter chicken, biryani, and beef short ribs and all shared the dishes family style. Each of us had a different favorite, it was hard to choose! The butter chicken was extremely soft and tender, the chicken biryani meat was in a unique meatball form, and the beef short ribs just melted in your mouth. Can't go wrong with any of the dishes, highly recommend checking out Rooh! read more

The inside of this restaurant is absolutely beautiful!! We were sat in a few minutes our server was sweet and efficient. They have a cocktail wheel that goes off of weather you like sweet, sour, bitter exc, which I think I awesome to help people out. The menu is on a QR code they do not have physical menus. The menu is also pretty small in comparison to other places. We got the buttered chicken and the lamb shank both with rice and garlic naan. You need lots of rice and garlic naan to absorb all the delicious sauces. Portions are a little smaller here out bitter chicken only had between 5-10 pieces of chicken. One $4 order of naan is one piece cut in half. We ended up spending about $110 before tip. The food was stellar, good service and great vibes. Highly recommend. read more

So the food is rather good--I love the Avocado Biel & the cauliflower koliwada was superb--but the price for the portion size is simply unacceptable for both of these dishes. The same with the Paneer Pinwheel. The paneer dish was pretty tasty, but for $28 it either needs to be one of the best paneers I've ever had--which it was most definitely not!--or it need to be very large in portion--which it was not. If anything, the portions for appetizers & entrées are atypically small. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place. Columbus has many Indian restaurants that are of comparable quality--Aab & Awadh for example--that are much fairer with respect to price and/or portion size. read more

We have eaten at rooh a few times but our experience yesterday was so bad that we will not be returning. We had a reservation for 7:30 p.m. on a Friday night and were promptly seated. Our server brought us water and took our drink orders in a timely fashion. We ordered a few cocktails and a bottle of champagne to start. The cocktails came within 10 minutes, but we waited 30+ minutes for the champagne. Finally, we had to ask the server about it and then they brought the wine. We ordered a round of appetizers and two entrees. The appetizers came in a timely fashion and were quite delicious. However, the entrees were significantly delayed. Finally, at 9:30 p.m., I asked the bartender (our server was MIA) to just put our entrees in to-go containers because we were tired of waiting. About a minute later, they brought our entrees to the table (not in containers). We had ordered the lamb shank and short rib entree. The lamb shank was very delicious, but the short rib was overcooked, tough and impossible to cut or chew. We were extremely frustrated and upset with the whole experience and expressed our dissatisfaction to the manager. She seemed annoyed with us, but did take 25% off the bill. In our opinion, this was an inadequate remedy and we did not feel like the server or manager were interested in making things right. We will not be coming back. read more

I was excited to see this restaurant after hearing how beautiful it is inside. My husband and I love Indian food and the Short North. We got a parking spot by Goodale Park, so it was a short walk. We arrived several minutes early, but they seated us without a problem. When I made the reservations earlier in the week, I knew ahead of time it was for a high-top, vs regular seating further into the space. We were in the front corner by the windows, perfect for people watching. It is very pretty inside, with a mural and chandelier up front, and the eye-catching lit-up bar. The cocktail menu offers lovely sounding concoctions for $13. I chose the Kashmiri Kahwa, which is scotch, red wine reduction, lime, & honey, served in a teacup. It was supposed to be sour, and I found it really delicious. We each had a glass of wine with dinner ($10 & 14). We checked out the menu online beforehand and knew it is limited compared to other Indian restaurants. We decided on 2 small plates and one large, after confirming with our server Jaclyn that it was enough food for us. We knew we wanted Butter Chicken ($24) for the large, so we didn't get Chicken Malai Tikka under the small selections. We chose Potato Tikki ($14) and Tuna Bhel ($15). The rice and naan are not included, so we ordered both. We had the plain Naan ($5) and the Cumin Rice was $2. Our server was wonderful and the food was incredible. We ate everything and left nothing behind. We declined the dessert menu. There are other dishes I'd love to try with our next visit. It is indeed pricy, but I thought it was worthy. read more

I must admit, I was hesitant when I first saw this place. The prices and all of the good reviews had me wondering if it was worth the money and the hype. (Lately yelp as been telling me lies, and my trust issues are abounding) But i ventured one game day night, and let me tell you I am so glad I did. The space has been much improved from its Biscuit and Branch/Branch days, and thankfully the food followed suit. When we arrived, we were greet graciously by the owners wife and sat over an hour ahead of our reservation. When she noticed our table was wobbly, she reseated us without us having to ask! Our server was also very excellent. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant, its other locations, and the menu. The food itself, was amazing. For starters, we had the pork belly (my favortite), the chutneys, and the dahi puri. All were good, but the star was definately the pork belly. For drinks I tried the mango mule, which was amazing. It was spicier than I expected and definitely savory, but deliciously filling. We split a butter chicken and chilli cheese naan. The butter chicken was delicious as well. I will say though the portion was a little small in my eyes and had I not had some appetizers (which the waiter was kind enough to suggest) I would have been hungry. I really enjoyed my visit, but as the price is a bit up there for what is usually relatively inexpensive cuisine I will bookmark this as more of a special occasion place. read more

I had been wanting to try Rooh for a long time! Restaurant week finally inspired me to take the leap and make reservations. Rooh means soul and there was truly some soulful dishes here! I was able to create the reservation for 2 easily through their website via Open Table. It is is more difficult to make reservations for larger groups 8-10 (original group size) due to 1) not having availability and 2) needing to leave credit card details. I would advise just calling the restaurant to reserve for bigger groups. The interior of the restaurant is great and they play Bollywood (Indian movie) songs throughout the dining experience. The restaurant is pricey, so we decided to order from the restaurant week menu at $40/person. The options were great for the menu. You have to order all 3 courses from the get-go. For appetizers, we went with the chicken tikka kulcha which came with a mint chutney sauce and the Amritsari shrimp. The kulcha was good, but the highlight was definitely the seasoning on the shrimp. Very good! We ordered the beef short rib curry and butter chicken curry for the entrees with garlic naan and saffron rice. The butter chicken was good, but the short rib took the prize. I wish the butter chicken was cubed into smaller pieces. Although tender, you don't imagine using a knife and fork when digging into your butter chicken with naan in hand. The flavor on the sauce and the tenderness of the beef was wonderful. One suggestion to the servers would be to replace the utensils right away if you are clearing them each time. Since different people bring out the food to you, we were left without utensils twice (entree and dessert), while our meals were served. Our server was busy, so it was hard to get ahold of him. This led to the beef curry losing its warmth and for the dessert, we were worried that the ice cream would melt. Overall, service was great and our waters were filled multiple times. For dessert, I got the besan barfi which had toasted milk ice cream, chocolate pudding like element, and buttery crumbles. My husband got the carrot halwa cake, which was lighter. We enjoyed sharing both desserts. I wish they served more of the side of rice and naan as there is so much delicious curry sauce to finish after the meat. I would definitely go again during restaurant week, or else a bit too pricey for the portion sizes in my opinion. read more
