If I could give Aroma 10 stars, I absolutely would! This was our first visit, but it definitely will not be our last. I ordered the Zucchinata, and my wife had the Traditional breakfast. Everything was incredibly fresh, delicious, and presented just as beautifully as it looks in the menu photos. The breakfast potatoes on my wife's plate were cooked to absolute perfection. We also shared the Very Berry French Toast, and it has to be one of the best French toasts in town--and we are big brunch people! It was beautifully presented, loaded with fresh berries, and every bit as delicious as it looked. I especially have to recognize our server. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but through our conversation, I learned that he is the owners' son. As a restaurant owner myself, I was so impressed by his personality, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality that I almost wanted to recruit him for my own restaurant! Once I found out he was the owners' son, I understood why he took such pride in taking care of every detail. It was easily some of the best service we have received anywhere in quite some time. I also love that Aroma is a family-owned and family-oriented restaurant. I feel a special connection to places like this and genuinely enjoy supporting them. I cannot recommend Aroma enough. The food, presentation, atmosphere, and exceptional service were all outstanding. We will absolutely be back! read more

I hope the restaurant sees this, I loooove the food here and want the restaurant to succeed. The food is excellent!!!! We have been 3 times now, it's always delicious. However, this restaurant is painfully understaffed and the staff present are woefully inexperienced. They simply don't have enough wait staff for the volume of patrons and the staff is very young. This leads to painfully long wait times and forgotten and incorrect orders. Zero attempt to fix mistakes- I think the staff are just too inexperienced. It doesn't appear there is any management on site. Please sort this out- we love your food. We love that it's local and we want to tell everyone we know to come eat here. (Also, for a sit down restaurant can you please provide spoons instead of coffee shop stirrers ) read more

This was our first time at this new Plano restaurant. I selected this eatery for my birthday brunch. We were pleasantly greeted immediately as we walked into the restaurant and given a choice of a booth or regular seating. Then we were welcomed by the server. We ordered. The wait was worth it. The food came out hot with generous portions. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The restaurant has a clean appearance, good noise level with a very pleasant and respectful staff. Will return in the future to try other items on the menu. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. The staff is friendly, the service is fantastic, and the food is amazing! Hummus and baba ganoush with eggs, potatoes, and pita for breakfast??? YES PLEASE!!! Delicious!!!! The quality of the food is stellar! read more

Met a friend here for a Sunday breakfast. The place is large and clean, the tables and chairs are stylish and comfy! We spoke with the owner a good bit who is just lovely. His son waited on us which we didn't learn until later it was family! He was upbeat and so pleasant. We ordered the Shakshuka and the Sampler plate. Everything is absolutely delicious and certainly tastes homemade. The falafel is tasty and some of the best I've had. We tried four of the dips and each were incredible. Definitely give this spot a try! Plenty of American choices too from omelets to French toast. read more

If you want your food timely, or to get a refill on coffee, or to even receive a cup of hot tea you ordered, don't visit Aroma. Severely understaffed for the crowd. The food was on par with IHOP, the coffee was good. read more

This is a really cute place to catch up with friends, have a small meeting, or to go and work . It is very spacious, the servers were delightful, and food and coffee were great! The vegan option that I noticed on the menu was the dip plate with hummus, muhamarra, and babaganoush. It came with regular toast, and I think it would be great with pita, but it was tasty and fresh. Coffee was great- would love a non-dairy milk option like oatmilk, but they did have lots of flavors of dairy creamers. read more

Aroma Breakfast and Lunch - Chocolate chip pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plano, Texas

A hidden gem for brunch lovers Aroma Breakfast and Lunch Cafe in the Collin Creek area is such a delightful find. The space is bright, spacious, and comfortable, with plenty of seating and a genuinely pleasant - if strip mall - atmosphere. The staff is warm and friendly, which immediately makes you want to linger. There is even a "secret" beverage menu available for in-cafe customers, which adds a fun little insider touch. I tried a latte, and it was everything you want from a hot latte: smooth, comforting, and delicious. But what truly inspired me to write this review was the shakshuka. Oh my goodness. The shakshuka. Exquisite, perfectly cooked, and divinely spiced. I fell in love with shakshuka at the InterContinental in Manhattan and have been chasing that experience ever since. This was my fifth attempt in the North Dallas, Plano, and Frisco area, and I was starting to think I would never find one that lived up to that memory. Then I hit pay dirt. The eggs were cooked to absolute perfection: firm whites and yolks in that magical sweet spot between runny and just set. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. If you love brunch or are on a quest for great shakshuka, Aroma is absolutely worth a visit. I will definitely be back. read more

I have been craving a solid Mediterranean style breakfast, but since we are visiting from LA I didn't know where to go. I saw this place and I suspected it would be good. I was kinda wrong. It's FABULOUS. Maybe it's the craving talking or maybe it was the fire shakshuka. I regret we ate everything before taking pictures because *chefs kiss* I'll think about that Syrian waffle often when I'm home. The service was excellent and they helped us find some food my baby could eat as well. Coffee was delicious btw! You can't go wrong eating here. I vote 10/10 on this location. (Husband says 9/10 because the waffle could've been more crisp) Why are you still reading this review? Go eat. Shoo shoo. read more

I have been searching for ShakShouka and finally found a good place that serves it on the menu at a reasonable price. It is authentic Middle Eastern fare/menu. The service was quick friendly and very attentive. It is a fairly new establishment with new furnishing. Typical middle eastern they did not offer western spoons in the utensils provided. Had to stir coffee with wooden stick but after living in Saudi for 17 years it was not a shocker. Very clean and food was great. Would return to try their other selections. ShakShouka was authentic read more

Food was excellent! Fresh and homemade! Portion sizes were very generous! Service was exemplary! Everyone was friendly, helpful and our table was checked on and refills were provided for our beverages multiple times! I would suggest possibly cutting the Pita into quarters or eighths just so you can leave the portion you're not currently eating still in the wrapper to keep warm or so that it's easier for individuals to share but otherwise fantastic! Really great breakfast /lunch spot! Give it a try! read more

Amazing food and great service! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. Definitely a great spot for breakfast--highly recommend and will be coming back again. read more

Aroma Breakfast and Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plano, Texas

One of the best halal breakfasts I have ever had. I ordered chicken fajita omelet with double Labneh on the side. Omelets was perfectly cooked with generous portions of chicken fajita in the middle and sprinkled above. I have struggled to find a halal breakfast place in Dallas that opens early in the morning. This is the perfect place (opens at 8:00 am). Seems like a family run restaurant, friendly and efficient service and all servers are very knowledgeable. 5 stars all around. Ambience was also perfect read more

A new restaurant opened where Soup & Salad used to be behind Chipotle off 75. It's called Aroma Breakfast & Lunch. I could not find a page for the on the app. We were so excited to try and support this new family owned business today. We've been in the neighborhood more than 25 years. When we arrived for brunch around 10 am. They had a pretty full house but no wait. The remodel was beautiful and the chairs looked comfortable. Nevertheless, we stood by the doors for more than 7 minutes with at least 3 of waitstaff staring and making eye contact from the back counter. Still no one greeted or acknowledged us. Finally, a few minutes later we were sat. It's been more than 10 minutes total and no water or coffee offered. We were given menus and never saw a server again. Another two top came in after us, was sat and received drinks but still not us. No one had even walked by so that we could be like hey can we get some coffee. The table of four got up to leave and still no one came to the table. 17 minutes in I looked at my husband and said let's go. We were completely ignored. I do not want to say it was a race issue but it certainly felt that way. Needless to say, we will not be going back or recommending Aroma. #aromabreakfastlunchplano read more

Aroma Breakfast and Lunch - Ad that made us want to go - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plano, Texas

The food and service were outstanding. The vibe was friendly and inviting. There was a lot of variety and it was all delicious!!

Amazing service, food and ambiance. It's 100% halal and that's a huge plus for us. We ordered the following items from the menu and everything was prepared fresh and was delicious: - Western Omelette (with a side of pancake and hash browns) - Meat Lovers Omelette (with a side of pancake and house potatoes) - Kids Banana Nutella Pancake (they were kind enough to accommodate our request to substitute bananas for strawberries) - Classic Waffle (with a side of scrambled eggs and bacon) We all loved our food. Coffee was ok. The young lady who served us was friendly, courteous and very prompt with service. In sum, we loved it here and will surely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Loved this place! Aroma is going to be our new go to brunch place! The selection was great with traditional American to Mediterranean breakfast. My vegan friend had no problem finding something on the menu and the servers were so friendly and accommodating. We'd been looking for a good family owner brunch spot and this hit the spot! It was so convenient to get to from all over as it's right off 75 near George Bush! It was so quiet while we were there I will be disappointed when it gets busy, but the restaurant definitely deserves it. Oh and the chairs were so comfortable! Normally I'm a booth person but these chairs were great! Clean and classy place! read more

Great food, great service, and a cherry ambiance. I had a veggie omelette with hash brown. They were made just the way I like 'em. A very happy customer. read more

Great breakfast and great service. Waitress read back our order to make sure she had all the changes we wanted and everything came out as ordered. Very tasty. Some places the hash browns are lacking in taste - but not here. We ordered them crispy and they were crispy and delicious. Only "complaint" is that biscuits weren't an option along with toast/pancakes as a side. read more

Owners are very friendly. Food is unusual, for me, but delicious! Bright cheerful place. Highly recommend
