Locally owned and operated, ROOQ’s STEAKHOUSE was founded by food lovers who are intimately familiar with the area and its local character. Farooq Ali is an alumnus of Rutgers University’s class of 2004 and is proud to serve the community that has given him so much. Ensuring that steakhouse diners receive the highest quality treatment is the key to ROOQ’s success and Farooq achieves this mission every day through exceptional customer service. Our easy to visit location at 2 JFK Boulevard in Somerset, New Jersey is a five minute drive from the Rutgers University campus - just another example of how ROOQ’s STEAKHOUSE values your time by putting convenience first.

 

ROOQ’s STEAKHOUSE is committed to catering to the customers’ unique dietary needs. We also pride ourselves on serving some of the area’s finest cuts of beef. All our steaks are Prime Black Angus Beef and undergo a 28 day dry aging process that ensures every morsel of your meal will taste better than the last. At ROOQ’s, quality ingredients make all the difference and it shows in our handpicked selection of popular steaks. 

All our meat is Halal and backed by the integrity of our respected purveyors. At ROOQ’s STEAKHOUSE, we understand that peace of mind is priceless, which is why we ensure every cut of meat fulfills the exacting standards dictated by Halal certification. In addition, precise portioning allows diners to enjoy just the right amount of food at the right price.

Our menu is extensive and heavily influenced by the best that Italian cuisine has to offer. With pasta favorites and classic seasonings, ROOQ’s offers fine steakhouse dining with a twist. After taking over an Italian restaurant and retaining its talented chefs, ROOQ’s STEAKHOUSE now incorporates the renowned recipes of Italy with the quality meat you’ve come to rely on. We provide our diners with a wealth of choices to satisfy virtually any palette regardless of budget.  

We love variety and at ROOQ’s STEAKHOUSE we want our customers to enjoy a broad spectrum of meal options that range from health conscious to indulgent. That’s why you will appreciate our menu stocked with heart healthy favorites like grilled chicken and seared fish to diversify your choices. At ROOQ’s, we believe customers shouldn’t have to choose between nutritious and delicious. Fresh, quality ingredients create the foundation for creative forays into fresh, locally grown salads that are perfect as a main course or to share. In addition, ROOQ’s STEAKHOUSE offers a wide variety of soups and appetizers to suit your needs.

Our talented chefs specialize in masterful steak preparation along with creative Italian cuisine.  Their 15 years of experience in the restaurant industry has earned them rave reviews and a reputation for exquisite craftsmanship. As a testament to their passion for quality ingredients and fine cooking, we are proud to serve customers homemade pasta fresh from our specialty machine that ensures you enjoy the finest flavors on our menu. Diners delight in the finished product which creates rich, supple pasta the whole family can enjoy. 

In addition, our chefs are dessert aficionados with a talent for unique sweets. Our gelatos are made fresh on the premises and offer a distinctive take on the classic creamy desert. Can’t stand to be without the luscious flavors of our in-house gelatos? Due to customer demand, we now offer tubs of our popular dessert to take home and enjoy any night of the week.
