"Traditional Indian dishes are made with local ingredients and modern cooking techniques at ROOH Chicago, which has made its mark on Randolph Street since opening in 2019. While the menu has plenty of noteworthy meat dishes like tandoor-smoked pork belly with pandi curry, it's especially friendly to vegetarians and vegans with options such as sweet potato chaat with kale tempura."
Indian cuisine gets the upscale treatment at ROOH. The West Loop restaurant offers creative takes on classic Indian fare, like butter chicken with whole thighs and red pepper makhani, cashews and cilantro. There's plenty here for vegetarians, too, with options such as jackfruit kofta and avocado and green chickpea bhel.
Chicagoans have few choices for upscale Indian food downtown. Rooh’s 2019 arrival is noteworthy not only because it fills that void, but because it also gives the West Loop some sorely needed variety. Patrons will be more than impressed with familiar classics such as butter chicken, but jackfruit kofta, scallops dusted with gunpowder pepper, and achari monkfish offer a better taste of modern Indian cooking.
