Great food and great ambience. The cocktails are pretty innovative. We had the Kataifi mushrooms - the flavors were pretty unique and very impressive. Reservations are required as the place is almost booked every day.

Food was really delicious. I had a really best experience in this restaurant. Drink was very decent . I never had that kind of Indian food in usa before.specially bar tender ( ninad)was very kind n helpful . He suggested me some food like aroqa lamb chop , prawan cutlets,kataifi mushroom , goats chilli chicken kababwas my fav. I highly recommend this restaurant who wants to try best Indian food in New York .

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.

This has become one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the city.

Price: It’s a bit pricey and many of the portions are small for the price but the taste of the food definitely makes up for it. Drinks are also pricey but they are unique.

Food: The food is amazing! I highly recommend the Lasuni Gobi and the Vegetable Sweet Potato cutlets as appetizer choices. For entrée, we usually get the Dal Makhani and the Palak Paneer. The Okra special is also really good and I thought the Butternut Squash ke Kofte were unique and different. Overall the food here is very tasty, well seasoned, and a nice balance.
Also, I’m not usually an Indian dessert person but aRoqa really knows how to make them and we always end up getting 2-3 desserts because of how delicious they are.

Service: Everyone is so friendly and open to answer any questions. They check on you often and service is quick.

Ambiance: The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a tasteful way. Everything seems to go together and they have even spent time figuring out the best dishware to serve the food in. The bar is classy and elegant. It’s a good pick for date night or even a group dinner.

The food was fantastic, beautifully presented and visually appealing. I loved the unique Indian flavors, especially the Peach Chutney twist. The service was excellent. I'll definitely return to this restaurant on my next visit to NYC!

There are many great things to say about this place. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We had different waitresses coming and making sure we were all doing okay, even if they weren’t our personal waitress. The food was delicious, we got full very quickly. I will say there is a lot of spice in the food but the flavor balances it out. The atmosphere & the vibe of the place was great. The service really did top it off. Would definitely recommend!
