Best Bite: Restaurant Week seemed like a great opportunity to finally try ROOH’s progressive Indian cuisine. The most exciting bite of the meal was the sweet potato chaat, with the crunchiest kale-puffed rice pieces interspersed with the softer roasted sweet potato and an acidic hit from the yogurt. The entrees were also impressive. The savory layer between the two slices of paneer added depth, and the lamb shank’s mild curry also had great flavor.
Other notes: The textural surprises continued into the chocolate rum ball dessert with a cookie-dough-like halva crumble, tiny bursts of raspberry, and more crispy chocolate. A colorful marigold-garnished mango cocktail rounded out the meal.
The details: ROOH, 736 W. Randolph St., Chicago.
