This new food destination on the Outer Ring Road might be quite a drive away, but the good food and pleasing ambience makes it worth all the effort

Once upon a time there lived a desert princess named Elahu00e9 who was the epitome of charm and beauty. It was said that the princess charmed men with her looks and hooked them with her culinary skills, as her exuberance was never ending.



She was endowed with the gift of creating culinary magic, which made her a goddess. Kapila Saigal will tell you, the princess's soul still dwells here. So when the woman behind the established Chandni Chowk and Heera Panna unveiled her latest food destination Ruh, on Sarjapur Road with the desert princess as her hallmark, we sure didn't want to miss checking it out.

The Ambience: There's certain mysticism to the place. My first impression was long lasting. The entrance led to sheer white open-air tents and sand, which gave it a very desert-like feel. Stepping indoors and gazing at one's own reflections in the myriad mirrors in all sizes donning the walls gave it an ethereal touch. There are plenty of choices to dine at -- from four tents in different colours (black, silver, red and blue) with colour-coordinated chandeliers, right across the entrance to swinging black leather seats on a large dining table and a VIP seating lounge amidst a scintillating water body. A bed (yes, a bed), also featured, that seemed perfect for you love birds, besides the usual ornate tables, outlandish chairs, Moroccan lanterns and diwan style seatings. What seemed even better was that one could puff on their hookahs anywhere they wanted to.
