Food was delicious. Very flavorful. Lots of parking space, as this restaurant is located on a strip mall. Restaurant is big, and lots of seating. It was nice and clean inside. When we were here, there were only a couple of people. Food was amazing, and we really enjoyed it all. Would def come back for more if we are ever in town!
I spent some time in India years ago, and coming here to Aroma Indian Cuisine reminded me that the food options in India are beautifully diverse and reach way further than just some typical curry chicken and naan. The menu was a delight to look through. With chef specialties and a large array of different regional foods from the northern mountains and desert country, to Bombay on the coast. You can get a little of everything here. You could come back for weeks and try something different every time and not have the same thing twice. I settled for the Kobi Chicken and Biryani today to remind myself of the time my hosts in Delhi laughed at the changing colors on my face as the spicy (not for the faint of heart and marked in the menu as spicy) dish took over my wimpy Minnesota senses, yet still it was TOO GOOD to stop eating lol. Again, it was hot... and absolutely fantastic!!! My personal recommendation is to ask for a hot tea when you arrive, as they serve up a divine Chai Latte (I like that they brought a little sugar with it) while you peruse their extensive menu.
Hunger, I felt. To Aroma Indian Cuisine, I ventured. Strong in the Force, the flavors were. Tandoori Chicken, I ordered. Ah, yes. The balance of spice and tenderness—perfectly in harmony, it was. Smoky, yet full of warmth, like a lightsaber igniting in the dark. Well-seasoned, well-cooked. The Force is strong with this dish. Paneer Mozzarella Sticks—an unexpected delight. Crispy on the outside, rich and comforting within. A fusion most impressive. Even a Sith would struggle to resist. Paneer Naan, a companion worthy of any meal. Soft, pillowy, yet filled with strength. Each bite, a journey through the light side of flavor. Service—attentive, wise. The ambiance—calm, inviting. A Jedi’s temple of taste, this place is. Return, I shall. Recommend it, I do. The Force is flavorful here.
Best Indian food I’ve had in the Twin Cities in a while! Food that wakes you up and excites you. And larger than average portions! We had the Tikka Masala(best I’ve had around here), Rogan Josh(very flavorful), a fried cauliflower Manchurian appetizer(kind of tasted like Chinese food, good), and the “mozzarella stick”(worth trying! Not what I expected. See picture). Overall, delicious food. Worth traveling from the northern suburbs for. They seemed pretty swamped and short staffed when we went, but the server was kind and doing her best. And the food came out fast! I’m impressed. The atmosphere felt like a typical Indian restaurant to me. Colorful and a simple with a little flair. I liked the vibe just fine.
The food was so good! I've tried other Indian restaurants but this is the best one thus far. The server was great! He made sure the food was great and even let us try one of their drinks on the house. Now that may not be the case for everyone but Ram's customer service is what stood out! We will be coming back to eat their amazing food!
Lamb vindaloo and biryani was amazing. Portion sizes are good! Our waiter was so nice to us. 10/10 service.
I live out of town and my friends took me to this restaurant about a year ago. Since then I've been waiting to go back. Everything I've tried has tasted amazing. Tikka masala and Biryani were my favorites. The staff were friendly and attentive, our waitress was very kind. I can think of no higher compliment then not having time to take a picture of the food because I couldn't wait to eat it. 10/10 can't wait to go again.
