These events usually feature a sequential tasting menu where our bar team creates distinct drink pairings to match the flavours being showcased, so we encourage you to share any dietary preferences with us well before your reservation date. Our kitchen is a playground for exploration. We believe that progressive Indian dining shouldn't be static, which is why we frequently open our doors to guest chefs and create pop-up menus that challenge our usual approach. Past collaborations, such as the 'Zaika-e-Rooh' series with Naushy Mirza or our work with Chef Amninder Sandhu, represent our core philosophy. We take recipes passed down through generations—like Lucknowi kebabs or Awadhi stews—and present them with our signature modern techniques. It is about balancing respect for the origin with the excitement of a new form. These events are fleeting by design. Whether it is a thematic celebration for a festival or an intensive guest chef takeover, these menus are available for a limited window at our Mehrauli space. We do this to ensure that every dish remains fresh and every detail of the 'Roohaniyat'—our blend of mystic melodies and magical moments—is preserved. If you are planning to join us for a future pop-up, please keep an eye on our event announcements. Since these are limited-seating experiences held on our rooftop with views of the Qutub Minar, tables tend to fill up as soon as the menu is finalised. ## About Rooh We love opening our kitchen to guest chefs who share our passion for authentic ingredients. These pop-ups are special because they push our boundaries, blending our progressive techniques with heritage recipes to create something entirely new for you.
