Description

Amidst a slew of upscale Indian restaurants descending upon San Francisco, Rooh rises to the top, thanks to an innovative menu that fuses the subcontinent’s myriad flavors with modern restaurant staples (oysters, pork belly, burrata). The bold India-goes-industrial décor is a bit paint-by-numbers, with vivid jewel tones and an oversized mural, but the vibe is engaging and the cocktails quite unique. Rooh's cuisine is approachable, but an extra degree of care and punched-up ingredient quality are reflected in the pricing. Sharing is encouraged with an array of small and larger plates like tando

Review summary

Rooh offers modern Indian dining in San Francisco with a 4.3/5 rating. Food quality is a standout, with Nihari, black dal, and butter chicken praised, though naan and some curries receive mixed feedback. The ambiance is generally described as charming and Delhi-like, suitable for conversation, despite occasional complaints about wobbly tables. Service varies; while staff like Pooja are commended, weekends often see slow pacing and booking delays due to understaffing. Value perceptions are divided, with some finding it worthwhile and others considering it overpriced for the portion sizes.
