Long Island's first 100% halal smokehouse. Slow-smoked Wagyu brisket, 45-day dry-aged Black Angus steaks, and a live tableside fire show, handcrafted daily.
Rooh is the Arabic and Urdu word for soul, and it is exactly what goes into the fire here. Rooh's opened in 2025 on Hempstead Turnpike as Long Island's first 100% certified-halal smoked-BBQ steakhouse, a concept that fuses Texas low-and-slow barbecue with the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean grill.
Wagyu brisket smoked for the better part of a day. Black Angus steaks dry-aged 45 days. Lamb kebabs, shish tawook, and a full mezze spread, all built around an open fire that the whole room can see. The grand opening was covered by Newsday, and the dining room, with its live-edge walnut tables and flame-red seats, was designed so every table has its own story.
"Beautifully decorated with a unique style, warm and welcoming, every table its own story."
From the flagship smoked Wagyu brisket to 45-day dry-aged Black Angus and the showpiece tomahawk, every cut is sourced premium and 100% halal. Smoked in-house, fired to order.
The tableside fire show is the heartbeat of Rooh's, an open flame brought right to your table, throwing orange light across the room and the char across your cut. It is theater you can taste, and the reason people pull out their phones before their forks.
Halal was never the limit here, it was the standard. Every cut is sourced premium and smoked or seared in-house, so you never have to choose between your faith and a serious steak.
Brisket and short ribs over low, slow heat until the bark and smoke ring set. No shortcuts.
Black Angus Prime, 45-day dry-aged, and Wagyu. The good stuff, and only the good stuff.
Sauces, sides and mezze made fresh in-house, every single day. Authentic halal smoked BBQ.
Such a phenomenal experience. Service and food were amazing. Highly recommend the brisket, lamb chops, and kunafa. Best halal meat I've had.
This place really cares about their customers and gives you a value meal with friendly service. You must, must have the Mint Lemonade.
Beautifully decorated with a unique style. Warm and welcoming, with each table having its own unique story.
