About this restaurant

  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
At aRoqa, we embrace the notion Indian dishes can be served tapas-style and in small plate fashion for sharing, perfect for couples on date night or intimate parties. Located steps away from Chelsea Market and The Highline, our chef brings an elevated approach merging Indian flavors with a global palate and creative twists throughout. Drawing upon the varied and distinct flavors of regional India, each dish is a blend of vibrant, balanced flavors beautifully composed. Inspired by its name, in India friends and loved ones come together at a “roka” ceremony and celebrate by sharing a meal.

Roqa [pronounced roh-kuh; an engagement ceremony in India, is a celebration of love and commitment.] A unique marriage of cuisine and cocktails in a chic, sophisticated setting

aRoqa delights with "outstanding" Indian cuisine and "beautiful presentation." The ambiance is cozy and chic, perfect for a memorable dining experience. While some diners note slightly cramped seating and occasional availability issues, the "amazing" service and flavorful dishes make it a must-visit. The "butter paneer mac & cheese" and "Lamb Chop starter" are highly recommended.

    We went as a family of four for an early dinner. It was quiet (but I suspect more lively at a later time)The food was outstanding. The presentation was beautiful and artistic. The waitress was sweet and attentive. Everything was timely and warm and savory. Atmosphere was cozy but chic. Would 100% recommend.

    The food was alright. They were out of a lot of options so we couldn't really enjoy our experience. The food was alright, nothing to rave about.

    We arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 PM, and it was quite empty. The music was a little too loud, making it difficult to hear my guest across the table. Our server took some time to arrive, but once they did, we placed our drink orders as well as our chef’s tasting selections. The drinks were interesting, featuring popular favorites with a small Indian twist. We tried the 206 Old Fashion and the Lychee Martini, both of which were okay. The use of smoke on some appetizers, as well as in the Old Fashioned didn't add any real flavor to the cocktails or dishes; it seemed more like a gimmick than an enhancement. The appetizers and entrees, including the naan bread, were delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice. Portion sizes were also spot on—not too much, not too little. Unfortunately, the dessert was disappointing. It was quite bland and, with the addition of extra cashews and edible silver foil to make it seem more luxurious, it still fell flat. It was an unfortunate way to end the meal. Overall, I believe this restaurant has great potential. However, they should focus more on the quality of their food rather than relying on gimmicks like smoke, silver foil, and other theatrical elements. With a stronger emphasis on culinary excellence, this could be a fantastic dining experience.
