Rooh and Ettan [ Palo Alto ]

Lamb shank nihari was excellent. Succulent lamb. Nuanced and balanced nihari sauce. I am sure the dish looks better on a plate but it was great. The nihari sauce are steps above the nihari served at Zareen’s. Zareen’s nihari is no slouch either.

I should add that that meal was from Rooh’s.

I just got take outs from Ettan this weekend and I will update.

Goan prawns and squid peri peri from late September.

Wow, this was excellent. Even though I haven’t eaten around much this year, I would put this as one of the best of the year candidates. Fresh prawns and calamaris slathered with a tomato-based sauce that were mildly spicy, a little sweet and plenty savory. Plenty of aromatic garlic to add an additional punch. Highly recommended.

I haven’t made it back to Rooh often. But if most of their other dishes taste like this, they deserve a Michelin.
