    We went for a tasting menu - and we were spoiled and stuffed!! They were accommodating for me as I don't eat meat, so gave me extra dishes when everyone else was having meat. My fav was the fish curry and the cauliflower. All the sauces and popadoms were fab. Amazing staff and lovely setting

    Loved our experience at Rooh SF! The Indian fusion cocktails and food were bold, creative, and beautifully presented--so much fun from start to finish. Everything was unique and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to go back and try more!

    Rooh is a very good fancier Indian restaurant in SOMA/Rincon Hill We sampled a bunch of plates, I always love the tikka masala but the dahi puri is a standout. Cocktails were very good too Service was reasonable, no complaints

    My favorite new restaurant I've tried this year and the best Indian restaurant ever, this place blew me away with the execution on every dish. The standout was the chili crab - huge tender lumps of crab in a luscious sauce. The lamb and saffron rice were also fantastic. My date and I both loved the Old Monk cocktail with passion fruit. It was surprisingly not too busy on a Thursday night. Can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes. Bravo!

    Ordered takeout for dinner after passing by this place many times. Rooh Butter Chicken - flavorful and creamy but the chicken was on the drier side. If the chicken wasn't dry, I would've really enjoyed this. Garlic Naan - lacked garlic flavor and the naan was very dense. It wasn't chewy or fluffy like other naans I've had. I expected a little more from a place at this price point.

    We needed a vegetarian-friendly upscale restaurant for lunch for a corporate celebration and Rooh was nearby. Unfortunately my experience here did not match the quality of food I tasted for dinner at the Rooh in Palo Alto several years ago. We ordered: - Dahi puri: unfortunately they came pre filled, so you couldn't do the fun poke-and-fill that makes this snack fun. The filling also seemed to be just pure yogurt. No potato, no mint chutney, no tamarind chutney. Bland, I'd skip - Bombay pan bahji: an artisinal take, with butter brushed soft rolls and a pile of lemony and buttery mashed filling (with a slight kick!). Delicious but requires assembly - Vegetable kofta: the dumplings themselves (falafel-like) were pretty bland, but the gravy/sauce was a heady mix of saffron and cardamom that addicted your tastebuds with its sweet and savory combo. Soak up with some saffron rice - Signature paneer pinwheels. 3 pinwheels (like a sideways paneer lasagna) in a smoky sauce. Again the sauce really carries this dish - soak up with some saffron rice - The garlic naan was dry and tough. - They didn't even have any chai?! Logistics: - indoor seating only - Limited street parking nearby but walking distance from T muni line and 4th & King Caltrain station - several vegetarian options available

    3.5 if I could! I came in with my team members, and was really excited to try this spot out. It's decorated nicely, and has good ambience. We were seated right away, but not really even any description of the menu. The order many different things to share and try, and while things were good, nothing was stand out. I would like to go back and try some other items, and a drink

    First time here, we had a party of 12. We were sat at two separate tables. The experience started a little rocky with the original server and there was an incident where we had an extra chair and so we moved it to the end of our table and a gentleman came by and was pretty direct and said "you can't put that there". Instead of approaching it in a helpful manner, it was pretty rude. Not the best way to start your dining experience. The experience did take a positive turn when our new server greeted us, he was super positive and attentive and knowledgeable. We did not go with the prefix menu we ordered family style off the regular menu and I'm so glad we did. We got to try so many wonderful foods with magnificent flavors. My favorites were the dumplings, ribs, crab dip, naan and the flaky bread that came out with the naan bread. Everything has such great flavor and I would love to come again and try more off of the menu. Overall for such a large party we did have a great experience thanks to our server and the delicious food.

    This place is so good! This was our second visit, but the first time we had food. Last time, we just had drinks and the food looked so good that we knew we would be back to try it. Our server was very friendly. He made great suggestions to help us with the selection process. We ordered the Dahi puri for an appetizer and it was delicious. Such a well balanced dish with a little crunch, some sweet and coolness, and a nice spice to finish. We also ordered the octopus balchao which was a hit! It had the perfect amount of spice and was so good. The portion size was very fair as well. They don't skimp on the octopus. For a main, we ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, raita, and saffron rice. Everything was delicious and packed with so much flavor. The cocktails were super good as well, and their descriptions of them were really on point and helpful. We definitely recommend this place and will for sure be back in the future! Highly recommend.

    Texture of Milk?
    Mike Y.

    Very nice and quiet ambiance! Appreciated that water was consistently refilled and empty plates were cleared promptly. Everything came out quickly after we ordered The food is excellent, with the seafood curry probably being my favorite. Dahi Puri is a close second.

    Khubani ka Metha
    Heather S.

    This visit was a really mixed bag. I liked the butter chicken, but it was a very tomato forward butter chicken and a medium spice level. Based on the texture, I thought the chicken might have been cooked on the bone and then deboned before plating which I really like. I liked the Bombay Pav Bhaj, and the bread it came with was amazing with a bit more density to it than your usual pav. The masala jackfruit tacos were good and quite spicy. The saffron rice might be my favorite. It is as saffron as saffron gets. Very aromatic with a distinct flavor. I've never had saffron rice this concentrated. It was delicious. The wheat roti was also good with a nice texture but quite greasy. I think they melted ghee or butter on eat piece. I usually, they brought missi roti even though we ordered wheat roti, but they fixed the mistake quickly and gave us the missi roti at no cost to us. The missi roti isn't something I would ever order. It was like a soft cracker rather than a bread. The lamb Korma was okay. It was a bit gamey for my taste, but Ameya and his parents liked it the best, probably because it wasn't spicy. They also liked the tamarind prawns. I did not like my cocktail. I love a good clarified milk punch, and the Tulsi Twilight is supposed to be yogurt washed. I couldn't tell it was washed with anything. All I could taste was acidity, and it gave me heartburn. Also couldn't taste any basil. They are known for their dahi Puri, but I don't understand the hype. Reviews online describe it as a burst of flavors and describe the yogurt as tangy. The yogurt I had was only sweet, and the seasoned potato and green apple at the bottom tasted like a Mexican green salsa. The presentation was sad. I was a bit disappointed by the desserts. The texture of Milk was just rasmalai topped with a crispy milk on top that reminds me of how milk dries around the top of your milk jug after some time in the fridge. The Khubani Ka Meetha was nice, but the menu said it had a cardamom mousse. I absolutely love cardamom, but I couldn't taste it in the dessert. The presentation was beautiful for both desserts though. They didn't have chai. Crazy. I went home, took a pepcid to balance out the acidity from my cocktail and drank a cup of chai.

    Dahi sev Poori
    Ram S.

    Simply amazing Indian fine dining in the heart of SOMA in San Francisco. Service is professional, the food is top notch Indian fine dining and ambience is nice for such a place. I enjoyed most of the food choices and they had plenty of options for everyone. The Dahi Sev Poori and their kofta were huge hits. Jackfruit tacos were unique. Will definitely return when I am in the area again

    Butter chicken
    Sophia C.

    We were here on a Friday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was gentle and attentive, and the ambiance was calm. We tried the Dahi puri and garlic crab as appetizer. Both were really impressive with balanced flavour. The main course we had butter chicken, lamb dishes with naan-- solid, classic tastes. Overall, the dishes were authentic, beautifully presented and full of flavor. I do not have too much experience with high-quality Indian cuisine, but I'd highly recommend ROOH.

Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good!

    We stumbled upon Third Rail after watching a basketball game at Chase Center, and it ended up being…read moresuch a gem! The atmosphere was great. It was busy on a Saturday night without feeling overwhelming and the whole place had a really fun relaxed energy to it. The staff was also fantastic and super helpful with all of our questions. We tried an Old Fashioned and the Third Rail cocktail, which was similar to a sour, and both were phenomenal. Seriously some amazing drinks. We didn't get a chance to try any of their jerky this time around, but we'll definitely be back for it!

    Girl dinner: cocktails and jerky. What's not to love? We…read moreordered: - The yuzu cute cocktail: perfectly refreshing and tart, not too sweet from the pineapple - A mango coconut horchata cocktail: good but a bit sweet and bland. Needed a kick - The jerk jerky: goddam this was spicy! From someone with a medium spice tolerance! Good thing I had the cocktail to wash it down haha. The parts that weren't tongue burning spicy were so flavorful though - The red eye: the espresso rub was subtle but a fun contrast - The thicc Jim: better than any slim Jim or chomp stick you'll ever eat. Fresh pork and that hot honey garlic essence Logistics: - Indoor and outdoor seating - Limited street parking nearby but right next to the light rail and buses along third street and the bay bike trail - Non alcoholic options available

    Cool place for drinks! I wish I had dressed better since the decor is so classy. It was a little…read morewarmer than anticipated inside but it may have been just that day. Service was really friendly and explained everything they brought out. I would probably only do drinks here next time, or food with a smaller group. The burger is definitely worth trying!

    I made a reservation online and I actually wanted to sit inside but they made us sit outside which…read morewasn't the worst thing. I was worried about the temperature but the thing that was not convenient about us was you're extremely close to the next table that we could hear them loudly even if they were just talking in a normal tone + volume. We were just extremely close and it was our first date. It was extra awkward because of us hearing the conversations surrounding us as we were sandwiched in the middle of 2 tables. The food was pretty good. The donburi was very fresh. The ceviche was also so good. The aged sashimi was just okay. It was not great so even if I'd like to go back to check out the other dishes, I will not order that again. I personally think the dishes were a little expensive and the sea urchin substitution was worth trying but if I'd order the donburi again, no need to upgrade. Hopefully, I could go back to try it again as we couldn't properly enjoy the food because of where we were seated. Maybe we need to try the other dishes and be lucky enough to sit inside. The vibe might change for the better.
