Been meaning to try the food here for ages after hearing so many good things about this place. Just had a takeaway and it was absolutely delicious and huge portions too! The best Indian food I’ve had in a long time, my lamb was cooked to perfection and we weren’t waiting long for our food to be delivered either. Highly recommend this place and looking forward to eating in next time.

Thanks Caroline, glad the lamb hit the spot and the portions lived up to the hype; see you in soon.
We drove out tonight for the first time and had a great experience, everything is so clean, staff are so friendly, service is fast, the food is delicious. Highly recommend the Chicken Bhuna and the cheesy garlic bread. We also tried Chicken masala the chicken was tender it melts. Pickle tray and poppadoms crispy and crunchy, sauces are fresh especially the mint yoghurt and mango chutney.

Thanks Brit — glad the drive was worth it; brilliant to hear the Chicken Bhuna, cheesy garlic bread and melt-in-the-mouth Chicken Masala hit the spot, we’ll pass it on.
Just here on holiday with wife and young daughter and we heard about this place. Lovely food and really friendly service. Definitely lives up to its rep.
Would recommend if you're in the area to check it out. The chicken Tikka Korai was the best I've ever had and I've had many!

Thanks James — glad you, your wife and daughter enjoyed it, and chuffed the Chicken Tikka Korai was the best you’ve had; pop back next time you’re in town.
Amazing food, really friendly staff and a good price.
My son and I were in the area for a few days and visited Aroma on the back of other good reviews.
We were not disappointed.
They were very accommodating to a fussy request from us and very friendly at every step.
The food was absolutely brilliant.
If I am in the area again, I will definitely go back.
I would highly recommend Aroma to anyone.

Thanks Andrew, glad we could accommodate you and your son and that you enjoyed the food; we’ll be ready when you’re back.
We live in a day and age where truly fantastic restaurant experiences are hard to come by. But whilst with some friends visiting from the Isle of Wight our visit to Aroma Lounge was outstanding and a real treat.
From the moment we walked in to paying the very reasonable bill, we were beyond impressed.
We were greeted by our waiter, Atif, who was an fantastic host throughout the night and nothing was too much trouble.
Shortly after, the owner, Hurum, took the time to come over and chat with us, a personal touch that we really enjoyed.
The food was absolutely 10 out of 10 and fit for a king.
We began with fresh, crunchy poppadoms and a lovely pickle tray, followed by the main event... a mixed tandoori sizzler with madras sauce, keema rice, chips, a fluffy cheese and garlic naan, and gorgeous onion bhajis. The lamb was so tender it literally melted in your mouth, the chicken fell off the bone and was extremely flavourful. The madras was packed with complex flavors but without overpowering heat.
Another great bonus is their bring-your-own-alcohol policy, which allowed us enjoy a couple of cold Cobras with our meal.
Aroma Lounge blew us all away with incredible food, warm hospitality, and a great atmosphere. We will certainly be back. Keep up the amazing work, team, and compliments to the chef!
Thankyou so much.

Graham, brilliant, we’re glad Atif, Hurum and the chef gave you a proper feast; bring your friends (and bottles) back anytime.
This place fooled us with the fake AI imagery on Google Maps and glowing reviews. It has zero ambience and is on a row of shops, off-location. The service was terribly slow, needed to ask for water 3 times while suffering with a spicy mouth. Food was excessively oily. Waiters were completely inattentive, we had to wait a long time to order. When asking for the bill, they did everything but bring the bill for ages. Then of course it came without a card machine, so they had to go back for that.
Tables close together and feels like you're eating in a shop.
Underrated spot for an amazing Indian meal. Lovely food for our whole party of 4 and amazing service accommodating to our needs and a brilliant atmosphere with some nice music. Only recommendation would be to serve alcohol because they don’t but everything else amazing.
