lunched at roobaru last weekend and i have to say that it is a lovely addition to downtown dubai’s food scene. it’s a contemporary indian cuisine restaurant serving the indian classics with a twist. i was dazzled by everything about this place - ambiance, service, food plating and presentation.
my recommendations would be
papdi smack (indian tostada, topped with lentil chaat, pickled apricot, pomegranate and radish)
sharjah sambusa (cheddar cheese and onion samosa, with yoghurt, date and tamrind chutney, topped with a packet of oman chips)
thecha wings (a must try if you love the green chilli spice. the wings are nicely coated in this spicy peanut dressing)
axomiya seabass (the fillet is cooked to perfection in a banana leaf with aromatic spices)
truffle kulcha (one of the best kulchas i’ve had)
konkan prawn curry (southern style coconut prawn curry)
pannacotta payasam (a jiggly sweet milk flavoured pannacotta with pineapple coulis)
and in the drinks - gulabo & golden milk
overall, a great experience.
