Amazing food, great service. They also have a stall at lunch time selling wraps and curries.

Best tandoori cooking I have had in a long time. Just don't expect your waiter to speak english.

OK - so I noticed this place has been through a revamp, so we gave it a try. I went to Rooburoo a while back, but found it a forgettable experience.

The food has become more like Tayyabs - the tandoor dishes were absolutely delicous - particularly the Chicken Tikka and Sheekh Kebabs. And for 2 quid you can't argue.

My main course was just OK (I had the Chicken Karahi) and lacked a bit of punch, but the okra veg dish was amazing. Really!

We had starters, main course and a beer and I had change from £20.

This an unpretentious relaxed restaurant in Angel, and I for one really like it. The service is prompt and unobtrusive, the food tasty and quirky, and I always enjoy myself. Well done guys!

Am not sure why this place is getting bad press on this site... I ate there a couple of weeks back and the food was great. The menu is different and inventive. I had seafood whilst my boyfriend had tender lamb with spiced pickle and flat breads, it was pretty good. I like the chilled out atmosphere too, pretentious it aint! We'll be back soon

Rooburoo is an excellent hideaway in Islington's Chapel Market. Best dishes I've had here are definitely the malai tikka, crab salad, lobster (when in season) and garlic chicken. Definitely worth the stroll from Upper Street!

Eh, it's ok. That's as enthusiastic as I can get. We live locally and have tried this place a few times now but there are definitely better Indian restaurants in N1. The staff are usually quite friendly and efficient and the prices are reasonable so it is popular with City Uni students, but the food is nothing special. Dishes lack depth of flavour.

Rooburoo tries hard, very hard indeed. Sadly, like so many Indian restaurants like it, there's no getting away from the curry house roots from which it clearly comes from. There are better Indian restaurants, even in Islington. Average food, occasionally unfriendly service. Try somewhere else.

Average, but over priced for what you get. Waiters were far from attentive, waited around for an awful long time to order drinks and then had get out of my seat to walk up to the nearest waiter to let him know that we wanted to order. Nothing to write home about, wouldn't go back as there are much better Indian restaurants in Islington.

The food at Rooburoo was excellent and I would throughly reccomend coming here. It is one of my most favourite indian restaurants in London and it's always fresh and exciting each time I come. I love the rooburoast platters and the seafood malabar. Great service and ambience make Rooburoo a lovely place to dine.
