About Progressive Indian Signatures
When you dine with us, you aren't just ordering dinner; you are tasting a reimagining of Indian classics. Whether you select our 7-course Chef’s Tasting Menu to experience the full narrative of our flavours or opt for à la carte to pick your favourites, expect artistic plating with edible gold leaf and thoughtful flavour pairings that bridge the gap between traditional spices and modern techniques.
Our approach to progressive Indian cuisine is rooted in 'Roohaniyat'—the soulfulness that comes from respecting heritage while embracing innovation. We treat ingredients like mutton and lamb with techniques borrowed from global gastronomy to create familiar yet surprising profiles.
The Art on the Plate
We view every dish as a composition. Take our Doughnut Kebab, for instance—a playful take on the traditional kebab, featuring a savoury mutton and chicken keema doughnut at the centre, enhanced by a rich cheese fondue. For main courses, we focus on depth and texture. Our Lamb Shank Nihari showcases slow-cooked meat that falls off the bone, elevated by modern plating, while our Lamb Chop Raara offers robust North Indian flavours finished with contemporary flair. Each plate is adorned with delicate garnishes like edible silver vark and microgreens, ensuring the meal is as visually striking as it is flavourful.
Your Dining Experience
Located in Ambawatta One, Mehrauli, our restaurant offers more than just food. The setting, with its plush velvet, chandeliers, and the unmatched view of the Qutub Minar, is integral to the meal. Whether you are looking for a complex 7-course journey that balances small plates, palate cleansers, and rich curries, or a more casual evening with cocktails and shared plates, we adapt to your mood. We invite you to experience a mehfil—a soulful gathering—where the music, the view, and the progressive Indian menu come together to define your evening.
Rooh
At Rooh, we believe food is a story, not just a meal. We bring together the spices of Awadh and the techniques of modern kitchens to create moments that linger, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Qutub Minar.
