A great Indian restaurant. It was a great experience. My son had told me that he will take me to a place for a dinner with a homely cool environment. He had only mentioned about environment, to be honest it was a very pleasant surprise. The welcome, a heart touching service was such that I do not have words to describe and praise. If you are in Vernon Hills, you must not miss this Indian Restaurant. Great guys.

BEST Indian Restaurant in Vernon Hills and surrounding area. Food is exceptional each time we dine at Aroma. Wonderful selection of appetizers and entrees. Always fresh, hot, and delicious. Service is amazing, knowledgeable, and very friendly.

Tasty, friendly, and fast. Great place to take the kids for a relatively quick lunch.
As an American who has traveled to south India multiple times, this place is one of the closest to that I have tasted around, though my guess is this place is more north oriented. Also maybe one of the freshest tasting.
I am glad I can order my dishes “medium” spice, but I am pretty sure I can handle the “spicy” level here. Must try: Goat Mutton Curry.
