                                                          This was hands down the best meal we’ve had in Columbus so far. We had the dahi pura, sweet potato chaat, paneer pinwheel, and nawabi kafta, and our only regret is that we didn’t try more.

Apart from curries the drinks and starters tastes good

                                                          Our third time at Rooh and it never disappoints. Golden Ghee drink, and flavors that are unforgettable. Great service too!

                                                          It was good, but we prefer Amul India in Dublin with excellent quality and about half the price.
