About ROKA

The name ROKA carries great meaning - ROKA is a meeting place where food and drinks are shared with friends (ro) and heat, warmth and an all-embracing energy surround (ka). The principle cuisine is from the robata grill, which originates from the fishermen of the northern coastal waters off japan, who would cook the fish on the boats with different charcoals and share the bounty with one another using their oars.

ROKA charlotte street opened in 2004, ROKA canary wharf in 2009, ROKA mayfair in february 2014 and ROKA aldwych in october 2014.

Kindly note that our set brunch menu is served throughout lunchtime on Saturdays and all day on Sundays – a la carte menu is not available during this time. Menus may vary according to date, time and location, please check menus prior to booking.

Great ambience, friendly customer service and delicious food. We were there for lunch and shared a combination of the Classic & Premium menus. What's not to love.

Food was fantastic but experience was heavily dampened after being told our booking “wasn’t on the system” despite clear confirmation on booking via email and a call with a manager earlier in the week. We did manage to find a table, however very out the way and not in the ‘main’ restaurant. Great food but in no rush to go back

It’s certainly not the cheapest place to eat but it is by far one of the best places to eat. Taste sensation.

The Lunch was pleasant but when I got the card machine (I had been talking with my client) the server asked if I would like to add service to the relevant percentage button on the machine. I added 10%. It was only when I got back to the office I realised that they had already added 14.5% for service. Really underhand, deliberate customer gouging. I'll be voting with my feet, and not returning

Having dined at Roka elsewhere, the only diffetence is that the Canary Wharf restaurant tends to be noisier.

Took the tasting menu Very noisy place - unable to have a quiet conversation Service impersonal and still having the guts to ask for a 5% tip ON TOP OF the 14.5% already added to the bill This place is trying hard to pretend to be something high end - and miserably failing. To be avoided - unless you are looking to pay for regrets as well as overpriced food.

We had a wonderful dinner at Roka. We went for the premium tasting menu, my sister doesn’t eat beef so they kindly swapped 2 of the dishes for us. The presentation, quality of food, the volume - all incredible!! We especially loved the black cod and the dessert platter! A special thank you to Andrea for looking after us so well!
