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

    I will say that this was some of the best Indian food I have eaten in NYC during my 40 years in the city. The presentation was attractive, spicing was even-handed, and each bite was good. The staff was kind, thoughtful and attentive. However, neither the food nor the service was at the level of a Michelin-noted restaurant in my opinion, but I was charged for that. Before writing this, I spent time again on aRoqa's website and there was a level of attention to detail, particularly in photos of the food, that was missing last night. I hope some adjustments will be made as I would like to return. Thank you.

    Teeeific twist on contemporary Indian. Mushroom app a MUST. Really can’t go wrong with any choice. Luce was an excellent server and guided us beautifully through our choices. Gulab Jaman Crème Brûlée was a winner. We will be back!

    The food, ambience and service were great - unto the point where the waiter took over the payment process and tipped himself 20%. That was really bad style I luckily never had to experience so far. Lessons learned.

    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
