I love Indian food and have eaten at many high quality Indian restaurants. This does not come close to authentic Indian food. We ordered chicken tiki masala, fish curry, samosa, and garlic naan. The chicken tiki masala was yellow colored, which I’ve never seen before, and bland. The fish curry was watered down and barely edible. Also, the naan was rubbery and not fresh as well as the Samosa. I’m not big on reviews but I’m not happy I spent $50 on such a bad meal, and if I didn’t live 30 mins away, I would have returned the food!
We decided we wanted Indian food, but weren’t sure of what dishes; so , seeing Indian Aroma had a buffet, we gave it a shot. The restaurant was clean, well lit and had ample but well separated seating. The staff was pleasant and greeted us warmly, and were very attentive to our needs.The buffet was a little limited, but given we’re in the midst of the omicron surge, it wasn’t surprising. What we tasted from the buffet was delicious… the samosas, and other appetizers were not greasy, and had a nice taste. The mango chicken was tasty and had a mild heat. The chicken tikka masala had a nice creamy sauce with a good balance of spice. My wife particularly enjoyed the goat curry.The Golub jamun were a hit, not too sweet, nice texture and a solid flavor. Equally enjoyed was my daughter’s mango lasse.We have added Indian Aroma to our list of favorites.
This one took some thought, but we decided on 5 stars, for the following reasons; the owners were extremely hospitable, the restaurant was amazingly clean, and then there was the food... which was amazingly delicious, abundant, and well prepared. We will be back for the mango chicken, the vegetable balls on yogurt sauce, and dessert, if nothing else. We hope everyone gives them a try, as there is a sullen shortage of Indian food buffets, and it is a great way to try new flavors in such a diverse cultures repertoire.
The lunch buffet was good especially vegetarian. The hospitality was very good. Overall staff was helpful and excellent experience. Thank you
The best!!!!!! Oh mah gawdddd the fresh naan alone will have you weak in the knees, the buffet is absolutely unreallllll 100/10 ??? Awesome people as well ?
I brought my grandmother here for the dinner buffet and we had a fabulous experience. The aunty who is the owner of the restaurant was very sweet and told us a bunch of stories. We had a great conversation with her. The food was very tasty and fresh. Often times with buffets the food quality is not as good as with a la carte. However, that is not the case here. The naan is brought to the table and served fresh. Most Indian restaurants only offer plain naan during buffets. However, here you can choose from a wide range of options including plain naan, garlic naan, chili garlic naan, onion kulcha and tandoori roti. The gulab jamun was also very tasty and not too sweet. I would highly recommend this restaurant for both amazing food and hospitality.
Excellent selection of Indian food (Indian friends agreed!), and the owners are wonderful. Clean inside with great service. Buffet has American-Indian classics (Tandoori, Tikka Masala) as well as some other more unusual rotating dishes that change frequently. Can highly recommend the chicken curry (not sure where it is on the menu- ask the owners), chicken vindaloo, and chicken biryani. Naan is excellent. The mango lassis are real show-stoppers- they are spiced with (I think) nutmeg and pistachio shavings, and are simply extraordinary.
The food is fantastic and authentic. Well worth a visit to see and taste for yourself.
I was happy to have the lunch buffet like before the pandemic. It was as tasty as I remember it being. The selection of naan bread you can have with it is equally good. Lunch buffet is definitely worth the price! Cooked with quality ingredients.
I don’t know if I received the wrong food or this place is just that bad, but I placed an order for pick up and brought it home…. The chicken korma was white sauce and the tikka masala was yellow…. This is 100% not normal. In addition to that, the sauce was broken with curdled dairy. Samosa appetizer was decent, tandoori platter was EXTREMELY salty.

Great place .Great food .Amazing staff
Great food even better service. A real special place!!!
Awesome and flavorful food, I love the ambience this spot has, and the staff members were super friendly. Will definitely come back again.
My wife and I had a rare night to ourselves and decide to get Indian. We have been to Indian Aroma a number of times and have never been disappointed. This time we got the Lamb Roganjosh and the Shrimp Malabar, both were excellent. The Pashwari Naan was amazing.
Their name suits them - Indian *Aroma,* their flavors are amazing and it smells so so good. Every time I order from here I eat a great meal.
