We had a wonderful night at Aroma Meze - we loved every bite and every sip. The plates we chose were delicious and so full of fresh flavours. I can't rave enough about the dishes - Ouzo shrimp, Spanakopitakia, Eggplant roulade, Beetroot towers, Dolmades, Open face chicken. Each bite divine!

Had high hopes but this was an unfortunately very average experience. Food was ok, everyone in my group agreed it was nothing special - two exceptions were the herbed meatballs & the formagio di capra pesto, which were both quite nice. Dining room was crowded and very loud. Overall not bad, but not worth returning in my opinion.

Went out last night with the wife for dinner and it was delicious. We have just moved back into the area and this place was on top of my list to come and visit!
The food is tapas style so it's sharing plates. I highly recommend the Ouzo shrimp as well as the lamb sliders. They are phenomenal in my humble opinion.
Another great thing about the restaurant is that they are gluten friendly. Almost all the dishes can be made gluten-free including the desserts!
The service is phenomenal - if I could have given more than five, I would.
I am looking forward to my next visit!

The food was amazing, especially the gnocchi in mushroom sauce. Sorry, I forget the actual name of the dish. They serve you individual portions, depending on how many are seated at your table. So you can share a bit of everything you order. Unfortunately for one of my friends who only wanted gnocchi, she only got to eat a portion of it.

The staff was genuinely warm and welcoming, which created a pleasant first impression. The food had a nice homemade look, which we appreciated, but unfortunately, the flavour didn’t follow — every mezze we tried was noticeably bland and lacked seasoning and taste. It felt like the dishes were missing that final touch to bring them to life. Also, the bathroom was not clean, which affected the overall experience. A bit of attention to both the food’s flavour and the hygiene standards would really elevate the place.

Really good food, great service! It's a really good restaurant that is small and very hospitable. It's not a big chain restaurant that treats you like another number.
Worth it!

Fabulous! Went for lunch with a group of friends from my working days... everything was made fresh and so very tasty!Tons of gluten-free and vegitarian options which were identified, so easily found. Our server was fantastic - effiecient and friendly - try Aroma Meze for Greek-Mediterranean small plates, you won't regret it!

I guess I'm the lone wolf here. I found this place to be ok. But kind of over-priced for what you get. They tell you each tapa is for 2, and they recommend 6 tapas total. Well, each tapa is literally 2 or 3 bites each. So you can see why they suggest six. But 6 tapas at around $15(ish) apiece is alot of money. Prefer a tapas place that makes the portions bigger so you can order less plates. Like, $13 for exactly TWO shrimp?? And, honestly, no flavor to them. Shrimp are not exactly a delicacy anymore - people eat them every day. Anyway, of the 6 tapas we had, only about half of them blew us away. The rest were ok. For the price point, I expect all the food to blow us away. Wine by the glass was excellent, as was service. But food-to-price-point overall was disappointing.
