About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for business meals
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

    Went for brunch and the chole bhatura was excellent: puffy, golden bhatura with a rich, well-spiced chole. The ambience was warm and comfortable, and the food came out fresh and full of flavor. A great brunch spot.

    Although I listed this as a special occasion (anniversary) in making the reservation no one at the restaurant acknowledged that. The pop music and two televisions were distracting from the audience. The server never asked if we wanted beverages beyond our initial drinks despite there was an apparent wine special we saw on a table sign on the adjacent table. Besides us there were only 4 other parties. 3 of them seated well after us.
