Indian food deserves better representation- Most disappointing dish was the corn fritters. you can't serve soggy Appe with one corn kernel ( some didn't even have one ) and call it crispy corn fritters ? They were oily, soggy and extremely salty. The Kataifi mushroom was an interesting concept but again the crispy vermicelli part was dripping with oil . Wish the paratwala paneer had some masala between its layers , it was extremely bland . The only saving grace in the whole menu was the bhatti wala murg( reminds you of Indian tandoori chicken ) . The ghost chilli chicken lives up to its name but the only spice and flavor I could taste in it - was chili . It needs to be better seasoned to balance out the heat. The chicken tikka masala was the usual sweet creamy sauce with tough to bite chicken pieces . Finally the desserts- the Aroqa DAULAT KI CHAAT needs to be off the menu ( yes ! It is that bad! ) . It doesn't represent the delicate flavors of daulat ki chaat you get in India . This one tasted powdery , artificial , grainy and extremely sweet . The chocolate cube on the other hand was creamy , crispy and fluffy. Would recommend this one over daulat ki chaat!

I had a wonderful experience in ARoqa.It’s just beyond my expectations. The food was delicious I ordered goat keema matar with garlic naan and spicy passion mocktail. All are super tasty. And ninad who is working there helped me to decide my menu. He was very quick in taking my orders till the delivery on my table.And time to time he is keep asking how’s the food and do I need anything else. Such a wonderful service and cocktails and mocktails.

The Food and service was incredible!! We loved the Amritsari Kulcha and Fenugreek chicken paired with Kingfisher beer. Majorly underrated, the presentation is amazing. We enjoyed every bite. The staff were so warm and courteous.

We recently dined at aRoqa and were fortunate to have Ninad as our server, who provided us with the most exceptional service we’ve encountered in a long time. His friendliness, attentiveness, and genuine concern for our dining experience truly set him apart. Ninad went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was perfect and making us feel valued and cared for. His recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our meal and showing his expertise and passion for the culinary experience. Our visit to aRoqa was a memorable dining experience. We dine out frequently, yet the service he provided was unparalleled, making our experience truly outstanding. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

The kebabs were quite delicious! We had the ghost chili kebab as well as the mushroom kebab. However, their brunch menu with the dosa filled with chicken tikka was just an unfortunate pairing of two cuisines, not really mixing well. Sambar and the chicken tikka don’t go well together.

We happened upon this restaurant on our walk back to the hotel. So glad we did. The drinks were delicious, the meat was so tender, and the paneer… so good. The presentation of dishes was also unique. I can’t wait to go back.Kid-friendliness: We walked in to a few families with young children eating. They seem kid friendly.

I recently dined at Aroqa and, regrettably, found the experience underwhelming. The food, while edible, was disappointingly lackluster. It seemed as though minimal effort had been invested in its presentation, leaving much to be desired in terms of visual appeal. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was just passable – not particularly inviting, yet not entirely off-putting. While I have no desire to offend the hardworking staff or the owners, who I'm certain put in a great deal of effort, I must be candid in my feedback. The culinary experience fell short of expectations and could only be described as subpar. Honesty compels me to admit that I wouldn't choose Aroqa for a food outing again. However, in a scenario where I'm caught in inclement weather and in need of shelter, I might consider it as a refuge. My hope is that this feedback is taken constructively, as there's always room for improvement.

The food and mocktails are outstanding. One appetizer and 3 dishes to share is sufficient for two. Ambiance and decor is modern, enjoyable and festive. We were even offered a paper menu instead of the QR code - much preferred. Our only complaint is with respect to the service. Don't get us wrong the service was good until the end of the our meal. Our plates were removed while we were eating our last bites and when we declined dessert we were immediately presented with the credit card reader. We still had drinks to finish. It was an unfortunate way to end a delicious meal. We will return... hopefully for a longer stay.
