aRoqa in Manhattan offers fantastic Indian food with high value for money. The staff is friendly, and the ambiance is pleasant, with music that feels like a lit club, featuring hits from Galantis to Kanye. The presentation of the food is also very well done, with dishes like lasan Gobi coming in a cool play truck. While some dishes like the bhel were too sweet, highlights include the lasuni hobo, Amritsari kulcha, and the incredible Paneer tikka, which is a great appetizer. Saag paneer is considered one of the best in the city, and daal makhni hits the spot. The restaurant is perfect for special occasions thanks to its professional staff, creative cocktails, and mouth-watering desserts. Non-vegetarians especially enjoy the punjabi goat keema matar with garlic naan, and the food is flavorful without being very spicy. The staff is attentive, always making sure guests are satisfied. The food received high praise for its delicious taste, with some reviews describing it as "heaven on the tongue." The lamb biryani rice, garlic naan, and chicken tikka masala are standout dishes, with the latter having the richest and tastiest sauce. Visitors also appreciated the beautiful presentation and artistic plating, as well as the cozy but chic atmosphere. However, the absence of mango lassi was disappointing. Overall, aRoqa remains a hidden gem of a place, recommended for anyone wanting to try Indian food and enjoy a beautiful evening out with friends.
