Inventive Indian fare with fanciful presentations & drinks
"Black walls, gold touches, and slats along the ceiling make for a moody vibe at this stylish Indian restaurant. Tables stretch from the bright bar up front to the darker corners further back. The cooking is contemporary in nature, ranging from mushroom and kataifi phyllo bites to fish fry Amritsari to the classic chicken tikka masala. Lunch specials include naan rolled with the likes of paneer, ground lamb, and shrimp. An upbeat playlist keeps the room in good spirits." - Michelin Inspector
"Aroqa is an upscale Indian restaurant in Chelsea where your server might light your food on fire and your cocktail might come with smoking dry ice. But if you’re just looking for a big takeout dinner in the area involving some noteworthy biryani, they do that too. Be sure to also try their “chicken chops” if you like your takeout to have been (briefly) engulfed in flames." - nikko duren
"Roqa shares a selection of contemporary Indian food in a format of shared plates. The ambience here is more romantic than family-friendly, featuring moody tones of black and gold, an arched dark wood ceiling, and a bar with shimmering panels. The menu descriptions showcase the chef's creative flair." - Kevin Chau
"This Indian spot is offering delivery and takeout. Try the Indian pork dumplings or “chicken chops.”" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Aroqa in Chelsea has sub-$15 lunch specials available every day, like curry boxes and a paneer tikka sandwich that comes with fries and salad. If you’re looking for a big takeout dinner where you can share containers of biryani and roti, they can do that too. Go online to place your order." - hannah albertine
