First, don’t miss the non-vegetarian kebab platter - but every dish was distinct and full of flavor!
We had the lamb dum biriyani, chicken tikka masala and chicken korma with gluten free naan.
Seemed like a win for all of us including our celiac son!

The name fits as there were plenty of salivating scents coming from the dishes at Aroma. The chicken was succulent & the garlic naan was deliciously buttery. Rajendra was my server & he was as polite as he was attentive. Also, there is a bakery next door to check out!
I give 4 stars as my samosa order wasn’t hot or crispy. Still, plenty of good here
