Because we only host these collaborations for a few days, the menus are limited editions that you will not find on our regular list. It is about catching a rare flavor profile, such as royal Awadhi recipes or vibrant Mumbai street food, before the event concludes. Our culinary pop-ups are the heart of our progressive philosophy. We do not just serve food; we tell stories from home kitchens, regional traditions, and legendary street corners. When we collaborate with guest chefs, we provide a 7-course tasting menu that highlights ingredients and techniques rarely seen in standard fine dining. From the delicate Shami Kabab served during our Lucknowi festivals to the bold, fiery flavors brought in from Mumbai street food collaborations, every menu is a fresh start. We focus on the history behind the dish—the grandma-approved recipes and the slow-cooking methods that require patience and love. We design these evenings to be immersive. You might find yourself enjoying a slow-cooked Mutton Yakhni Pulao while overlooking the Qutub Minar, or tasting a modern Roghni Taco that fuses Awadhi heritage with contemporary flair. These events are perfect for those who want to explore beyond our standard menu and engage directly with visiting culinary artists. Keep an eye on our event calendar, as these slots fill quickly and are never repeated in quite the same way. ## About Rooh At ROOH, I view our kitchen as a stage for flavors that usually stay in private homes. I open our doors to guest chefs whose work I admire, creating a space where deep-rooted tradition meets our progressive style. It is about the love we put into every plate, regardless of who is behind the stove.
