ROOH Palo Alto

I and my friends went there for my birthday. This was the first time for all of us to try this restaurant. The food was so good! The staff is so good and friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to others. Was able to find a fine-dining Indian place in the Bay Area. While all the dishes we ordered were amazing but my favorite was the chili cheese kulcha, bhuna mushroom, and the dessert saffron and pistachio ice cream.

It’s got lovely interiors and a great vibe to set the Indian mood. We loved the ambiance and thought the menu sounded fascinating. The prices were high and the food wasn’t great nor was the quantity any justice to the price. But in enjoyed the evening trying new things on their menu and had a great night! So if your willing to spend a bomb and not worry too much about the food, give this place a try:)

Our table for six on a Monday evening was in an isolated area in the back of the restaurant between a couple of collapsing doors. The arrangement made a poor ambiance for our celebratory occasion. Coming to the food, we tried quiet a few things on the menu and here are my ratings based on taste and preparation. 5/5 - Dahi Puri - the yogurt mousse is made to perfection providing a rich taste and consistent crunch. Coincidentally our favorite in the SF restaurant. 3/5 - Prawn Ghee Roast - didn’t look appealing and fell short on the spice expectations. 5/5 - Masala Jackfruit Cutlet - a masterful creation by the chef that I highly recommend. Perfectly minced and flavorful in the inside and fried to perfection. 3/5 - Chicken Malai Tikka - cooked to perfection, a good one for kids as it’s not spicy. 3/5 - Tandoori Chicken Bomba - wasn’t very consistent and disintegrated easily. Some of them were over fried in our order. 5/5 - Lamb Keema Hyperabadi - another must try dish amongst the appetize
