About this restaurant

  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Open for Lunch and Dinner


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 was shocked to conclude that the food wasn't fresh. I assume it was just reheated but not even reheated to be served hot - it was just warm and it immediately became cold (I got vegetarian Byriani, my bf had chicken and shrimp). I assume they maybe Sebeș the food from already made food in bins, in the back? I have no idea but I was suspicious about this from the moment we walked in because it didn't smell like food in the restaurant AT ALL. It smelled like perfume or something like that. Very strange. I must say though that the presentation was exquisite. However, that's not why we eat out. Also, some of the waiters had pretty strong BO. All in all, we were full when we left but not going back.

    Best Indian food we’ve had. The sauces were flavorful and delicate. Food came out fast since we were seated before 7pm. We want to take our family and friends who visit the city

    Not sure why they pack parties of 2 in tiny tables and leave the larger tables that are for parties of 4 empty, especially since parties of 4 seldom walk in without reservations. Food is very good most of the time.

    Bun Maska omelette is the best… Services excellent warm and friendly can’t go wrong. If you really want to need a pic having a tomato in Vada Pav is a big no no. 😂
