This was my second time at Rooh and I went with a larger group. Just as fantastic as the first time, 2 years ago! We had a mix of dietary restrictions at our table (vegan, gluten free, shellfish allergy, etc) and they accommodated them all. Every dish is delicious, but the eggplant and cutlets were stand outs. Other people in the group liked the pork belly best. Service was great, very attentive. Ambiance was great, not too loud. Price is for sure worth it.

The food is delicious! The charred cauliflower appetizer is amazing. We also enjoyed the lamb chops and the vindaloo. The vindaloo was not spicy so if you like spice we recommend asking for more. Lots of wonderful spices and flavors.

The service, style, and spirit of the Coach House were all a sincere delight, and I would go back in a heartbeat. Kind, attentive, warm, caring, and intentional all come to mind when I think about that night. Chef and his team created an experience that felt like being welcomed into someone’s home and being well taken care of by them. The food was, of course, amazing, but I have to give a special shoutout to the chai that finished the menu - I haven’t stopped talking or thinking about it.
