Rooh SF was the first in a series by this restaurant group iirc.
The NYC restaurant was next - called Baar Baar (for some reason they decided to change the name even though the menu was identical).
Looks like the Palo Alto menu is focused on the grill, with a few menu favorites from the original.
Baar Baar was my favorite modern indian place in nyc - well for about 6m - until the expansion plans came calling and the head chef left to open a New Delhi restaurant, and then a Chicago one. Looks like they’re on pace for one a year, given Rooh Palo Alto now.
The food in nyc suffered significantly once the head chef moved on to the next project. Curious how the others fare over time.
