Rook - Indianapolis

Steam buns are amazing! Eli is the best bartender in Indy, the music is always on point... great menu always changing, such a cool vibe... might secretly also have the best burger in Indy... I go once a week!

Everything we tried at this restaurant was outstanding. I was tempted to order the Ramen because the five-minute egg and the ramen sounded delicious, but the waiter recommended the Embutido, which was the special of the day. It’s a Filipino meatloaf served over rice and topped with Foie Gras, Spam, a golden raisin coulis, and beer stout jam. It was absolutely delicious! My wife ordered a dish featuring small pieces of fried chicken thigh, cilantro, red pepper, rice, and onion. Wow, that dish had such a variety of textures and flavors that it’s hard to describe. The restaurant has a lovely interior, although it's a bit small, but go there for the food, not for the space! We finished our meal with a sweet treat of fried dough sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, topped with a custard-like sauce (Bicho Bicho).

Amazing original style of food made by a talented kitchen staff in an awesome environment with with a very friendly and helpful staff! I will definitely be back and recommend everyone to give it a try; even if you don't live in Indy it is worth the trip.

We had an amazing experience! The food was fantastic, the drinks were refreshing, and the beer was perfectly chilled. Our waiter, Mitch, recommended all of our dishes, and we never found ourselves lacking anything! We can't wait to return!

Great food. Great service. Lunch was awesome. I had the rice bowl with crispy chicken thighs. Boyfriend had pork belly sandwich. Every flavor was spot on. Will be coming back!!
