“Elyah our server is very attentive and friendly. He recommended dishes that are very palatable and delectable!”
“I recently visited Roop – Artisan Indian Restaurant and had a really enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant has a modern, elegant ambiance with a separate bar area and a comfortable dining space. I chose a corner table by the window, which made the experience even better as I could enjoy the view outside while having my meal. I started with the Dahi Ke Kebab along with a glass of Indri Indian whisky. The kebabs were excellent—perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft, flavorful filling inside. They paired really well with the whisky. For the main course, I ordered the Jackfruit Biryani, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. It arrived covered with a fluffy baked bread on top, which added a nice presentation. The biryani itself was aromatic, flavorful, and cooked really well. It was served with a fresh raita that complemented the dish perfectly. The service was attentive throughout the meal. The staff checked in regularly without being intrusive, making sure everything was to my liking. The entire meal came to around $70, which feels reasonable considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. I would especially recommend this place if you’re dining solo, as the portions and atmosphere make it a great choice for a relaxed meal. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. If I could rate it 4.5 stars, I would, but since that’s not an option, I’m happy to give it 5 stars. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for elevated Indian cuisine with great flavors and excellent service.”
“This restaurant is fire! I come here regularly because the food is so good. The dahi puri is my favorite, the butter chicken is amazing, and the lamb keema hyderabadi is my boyfriend’s favorite.”
“Roop was incredible!! Our server Nitish was so knowledgeable on the menu and made my birthday so special. The tandoori cauliflower was perfect and the cocktails were very well done. Will definitely return for a vegetarian tasting menu!”
“Food was amazing! Adam was incredible with great recommendations!”
“Delicious food and cocktails! Absolutely loved the mezcal drink Road to Kerela with mezcal. The curry's were thick and flavorful and I loved the naan. Server was very kind and patient as well.”
“Roop is one of our favorite spots in West Loop. The food is upper scale and almost too beautiful to eat. The staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. Will 100% be back!”
“Had a wonder meal! Food and service was great. Nitish did a fantastic job ensuring our cups were full and that we were comfortable - it was a great night!”
“Lovely dinner experience at Roop. Delicious food and great service.”
“Finally tried this place and it was fantastic. We had the sweet potato chat, crab cake, mixed grill, and butter chicken and all were excellent. The service was on point and prompt, but the drinks were a bit slow (in fairness the server apologized for the bar delay both times). The decor and ambiance were great but the restaurant was oddly cold for us that evening. Will definitely go back to try more items, especially the lamb shank which someone ordered next to us which looked and smelled amazing.”
