                                                          Firstly I would like to start by saying I love Rooh and have been many times. We were greeted warmly and given an option for tables. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately this is the first time I was not happy with a dish. The entree, short rib curry with roasted winter vegetables was overpriced, two tiny pieces of tough beef, 2 carrots and 2 brussel sprouts and lots of sauce for $32! Not good at all and I told the waiter. I could not finish my tiny piece of meat. It was so tough which made it hard to cut with a knife. I expected better from Rooh. Now the positive, the chicken biryani was wonderful and very flavourful. The chickpea curry is a small dish but one of my favourite.
