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. Chef Ajay 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

    Had Thanksgiving dinner in 2024 and had a great experience. The gobhi was the best I ever had. Dal makhani was awesome too.

    100% recommend. So personal, each dish was different yet also flowed together. Staff was warm, knowledgeable, friendly,and professional. We had 5 different small plates. Each building to the next and perfect spice/heat. Cocktails were unique and delicious. Restaurant was intimate and modern. A difficult combination executed perfectly. Thank you

    Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to. Definitely in my top 3. Lovely vibe, very hands on service. Must try every small plate on the menu along with some of the most unique cocktails they have to offer.

    Our meal was absolutely delicious. The waitress was very knowledgeable and kind, helping us make selections. The dining room was lovely. The service was excellent. It was the best Indian meal we have had in NYC in a long time. We cannot wait to go back!

    Ordered chargrill paneer Tikka, butter paneer (signature dish) and butter Naan. The paneer Tikka was not marinated. Sweet sauce applied to paneer but presented unique. That doesn't make the taste of paneer good or there was nothing 'grilled in it'. Signature paneer entree was so sweet and bland, like frozen food reheated at a mediocre Indian restaurant. Way over priced for below average food. If I could give negative ratings for food I would. Service was good and we were well attended. Won't return.
