Tried their lunch special
The chicken tikka, dal and naan were all really good
Food: 5
Aurum was great as always. The food is amazing and everyone is very nice. Highly recconend.
The food was really good, especially if you enjoy bold, spicy flavors—it definitely hit the spot for me. The lamb curry was excellent, full of flavor and cooked really well, and the stuffed naan was a standout as well, fresh and perfectly paired with the curry. The spice level might be a bit much for those with a milder palate, but if you like heat, you'll probably enjoy it. The ambience was okay—nothing fancy—but it was comfortable and fit the casual dining experience well. Overall, a solid place for flavorful food, especially if you're a fan of spicy dishes.
The food was very tasty - spicy but not too hot. I took some friends for one of their birthdays and they enjoyed it as well. Staff was helpful and attentive. It's a nice place for a special occasion
Extremely rude service. The host was rude and the staff need to actually want to be helpful

This is a stylish Indian restaurant with a strong sense of authenticity — judging by the number of local guests, it's clearly well loved by the community. The chicken tikka masala was exceptional: mild yet deeply flavorful, with a perfect balance of rich tomato depth and well-integrated spices. The wine selection by the glass is extensive, so it never feels repetitive. They seem to offer wines from various regions across the U.S., and the Champagne selection is also impressive, with bottles available at very reasonable price points. The food is served quite quickly, so it may be a good idea to order appetizers and main dishes separately. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely take good care of each table. Overall, a truly excellent restaurant.
The whole restaurant was empty when we reached there at 5:30 and by the time we left, only two more table had guests. One of those tables seemed friends of owner. So overall experience and expectations were not met at all. No ambience. Felt we were rushed, food rushed.
What a fantastic experience -- on every level! The food was exceptional, Indian -- but modernized. The service was just the right amount of attentive. The baingan (eggplant) is something my husband usually shuns, but Aurum's version was so good, he had seconds AND thirds.
Their jackfruit kofta was absolutely delicious, one of the servers recommended it and it did not disappoint at all! The food overall was great.
I specifically went hoping to try their ghevar, which they previously had on their dessert menu. I’d love to see it make a comeback, it was a true delicacy.
A small piece of feedback - the atmosphere felt a bit so-so. The dining experience could be even better if the space felt a bit more exclusive or refined to match the quality of the food.
Overall, still a wonderful place with amazing flavors, and I’d happily visit again!

The service was excellent and the food was delicious! The spinach & paneer lasagna (with garlic naan) and chocolate rasmalai were my favorites, though everything was extremely good.

Very very mediocre food, the potato chaat was decent , didn’t like the jhalmuri at all cuz it was just tasting of oil. The veg biryani was very mediocre, no salt, no spice-just too much oil. The jackfruit kofta was good , the dhaba chicken was very well made! The breads were all well made! The chocolate rasmalai was not even a rasmalai, it was just chocolate dome with some Khova inside . This is not even close to the real rasmalai not sure why they have this name misguiding by customers! Definitely not worth the hype , nor the Michelin mention that it has! Staff is quite rude just in the way we were looked at, no greeting at all! The person who took our order eventually came to the table while taking off our final plates said I’m surprised yall finished all that food, I mean seriously?

Always an enjoyable meal. Good food reasonable noise level good service. Interesting fusion Indian dishes.
Food was aweful l, every dish we ordered tasted bad. Not sure what the hype is but was a bad idea to eat at the restaurant. We went for my wife's birthday party and were super disappointed l. Even the menu was uninspiring. After this I have decided to stay away from all Michelin recommended restaurants.
We chose this place for our anniversary dinner, but the experience was disappointing. For the price they charge, both the food and ambiance were below average. The service was unfriendly—no smiles, no greetings—and the drink options were very limited. The food lacked seasoning and flavor. The tables were placed so close to each other and the next table was so loud!!! Overall, it was not worth it, and we won't be returning.
Good Ambience. Excellent Indian fusion with great presentation and balanced flavors. Loved the biryani: mild, aromatic, and perfectly spiced.
