"I have absolutely zero complaints about my dining experience at Rooh. We were lucky enough to have William as our server - and he was SO spot on with suggestions. I started off with an absolutely delicious cocktail - SALTY, PINK CITY, Tequila, Guava, Chili, Lime, ROOH Masala. It's basically a twist on a margarita - and boy do I love margs. For starters, we shared quite a few plates. The Scallops were cooked and seasoned perfectly. I loved the Lamb so much, that was probably my favorite of the small plates. GUNPOWDER SCALLOP - Cauliflower Cream, South Indian Prawn CakeTANDOOR SMOKED PORK BELLY - Ginger & Mango BBQ, Pickled Radish and CarrotLAMB KEEMA HYDERABADI - Potato Mousse, Green Peas, Buttered Pao(Brioche)For a main dish we had to try the Butter Chicken. If you're choosing between Naan and Rice, I'd go with the Naan. The Butter Chicken is just amazing.
