Comfort food!! I love the seafood dishes which come with rice and/or fries. Also love the soups! So nice on a chilly day!! read more

I was finally back after almost a year. Food and service have not changed. Great fried pork chops and saltado dishes. We also tried the sopa de pollo this time, and it was good; the broth was light and hearty. If this were closer to me, I'd be here every week, and the price is cheaper than other Peruvian restaurants in this area. read more

Aromas - The Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Absolutely shocked that this neighborhood gem has little reviews. First off, besides the great service and great tasting food - what is absolutely a huuuge force to reckon with is actually the PORTIONS. Holy smokes! The $30 aromas combo features a whole chicken, huge plate of salad, fries and chaufa (fried rice!). But wait- there is more! They also include a liter bottle of soda. Whaaat!!?? This had to be the first point of this review - that is how critical it is!! Peruvian cuisine is very delicious! From the rottiserie flavors in the chicken to variations of the Latin flavors and fusion that also comes from Asia and prob other regions. As a result, it is not easy to master. Having tried many peruvian places across the country- not all can be considered the same. But what holds true for all- is their packed filled profiles in the flavor department. This is a local gem. Patrons are from the area. Carry outs are also busy too. The fried seafood (Jalea) was also huge. They serve medium and large. They also included crabs in their order. Amazing! Next is their fettuccine with pesto sauce. The plate was large because the food size was large. Literally, our two tables did not have enough room for these plates!! Their green sauce is immaculate! A common dipping sauce for everything, it was absolutely not enough even with 2 bowls! Luv it!! Definitely coming back here!!!!! read more

We had lunch at Aromas (Peruvian cuisine) in Norwalk for the first time. As we walked in it had a nice open space with tables placed alongside the walls and they had salsa music playing in the background. Prices, cleanliness, food and customer service were overall very good. They also serve plenty so come hungry. They serve beer but no cocktails. Their empanadas are gigantic so try those too. read more

Fresh and authentic food. I can't pronounce most of it, but I sure enjoy it. Never leave without a cup of the Aji sauce!

This place is hands down the best Peruvian food we have tasted outside of Miami. The portion sizes are huge which makes this places an even better restaurant. Lomo saltado a la pobre could feed a couple easily especially if you share an appetizer read more

Delicious food and good service! Fiores was very helpful with the special dish of the day! Definitely, coming back

Bad experience at this place. My wife had a hair in her food & the waitress said that it was not from the kitchen staff & that it was my wife's hair. My wife has light hair & the hair in the food was black. 2nd time I we have experienced hair in food at this place. Never going back again. Any decent restaurant, would apologize and admit fault. Not this one though. read more

Good prices Nice serving sizes Good customer services. No alcohol license but they allowed us to buy a wine bottle next door and served it during our dinner read more

Aromas - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Love this place. So homey and fresh. Our second time here and we shared choritos ala chalaca (mussels, lime juice, diced onions, tomatoes and Cusco corn)...SO fresh! And this appetizer plate is so generous. Also shared the bistec encobollado (steak coated and sautéed with onions and tomatoes with a side of rice). Great flavors, perfectly prepared. An explosion of flavors in every bite. Finally, the salsa verde that comes with warm bread is smooth and flavorful with a hint of spice. While we were eating, the baker from next door (Forever Sweet) came in to pick up his dinner and offered us each a cupcake. What a great neighborhood. read more

I had a nice experience at Aromas. I've had their Lomo Saltado. The portions were huge. I definitely recommend, but I've had better. Growing up in CT I am spoiled with the many options of Peruvian restaurants here in the state. read more

This place is absolutely delicious and I like to pop in whenever I'm in Norwalk. If you like Peruvian food, come here. If you've never tried Peruvian food, what are you waiting for? I've had several dishes and they've all been very good. I mostly recently had the Pollo Encebollado. Try it and you can thank me later. Big portion, savory and the chicken is cooked perfectly. The prices are super reasonable too. read more

Tried it for first time today I got a pollo saltado meat was not cooked properly won't be going back

Eating is believing. Although far from a hole-in-the-wall, Aromas could be easily overlooked given the blandness of its crowded strip-mall neighbors. But you can't judge a restaurant by its neighborhood clutter. Aromas provides a dining experience for all tastes. The traditional Peruvian items are well-balanced delights relying on fresh ingredients & the subtle hand of their cooks. You will never be disappointed with Aromas shrimp dishes. The Southwest/Mexican dishes are equally well-prepared and served in abundance. Take-out service is fast due,in part, to a very friendly and helpful staff in the front of the house. Well worth a visit. read more

Best ceviche and lomo in the area. Just found the place this month and have been there twice. It's delicious and filling. Had to put the food on a plate because it was hard to eat out of the container. Highly recommend it. Also got the empanadas and tres leche, amazing! read more

This quaint little shop is a Hidden Gem. They offer delicious Peruvian style platters at reasonable prices. I came in for a business lunch. the waitress was pleasant and helpful. I ordered the mixed seafood platter with rice. It was a large plate full of mussels squid shrimp and egg. vegetables were sauteed into the rice. My mouth was doing the happy dance. I would certainly come here again if in the area. The place was clean. Reggaeton playing on the radio. The bathroom situation was weird you need to go through the kitchen to get the bathroom. read more

Aromas - Mixed seafood with rice - Peruvian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

While the food was definitely good, I have to dock stars because the utensils that were given to us were used. Yeah, gross. It was one of those pre wrapped ones and when I opened mine, I noticed right away that the knife was dirty. I looked at the fork and same thing. The napkin seemed used as well. So we asked for a new one. Nobody apologized which was odd; Like it's not the first time it has happened. I don't think we'll be going back- read more

Aromas - Peruvian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

A fairly decent sized Peruvian restaurant right on Main Street. It appears to be more of a take out but has a good amount of seating inside. The menu has a nice selection of Peruvian chicken dishes, a salad bar with variety of choices, and flan. Of the few things that I tried the flan was excellent. But need to go back and try their rotisserie Peruvian chicken read more

I enjoy the Sudado De Pescado. It's fresh, hot and boiled, not fried. The servers are always kind and make takeout easy and fast. Their desserts are incredible as well. Plenty of parking as well! read more

I was so excited to find this authentic Peruvian restaurant. I stopped for takeout one evening after work. The staff was courteous and the service was prompt. There were a few people dining in and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. I can't wait to try some other menu items. I ordered a stir fried chicken dish served with rice and fries. It was delicious! The portion size was huge and I was able to have leftovers for the next day. This place is close and clean and the food is good. I will definitely come again. read more

This review is for take out only!! First the name on the building is Amores. Which resulted in me driving by it 4 times before calling to ask the address. The lady who answered spoke almost no English and finally I got her to say Walgreens which helped me find it. I ordered there and waited- wasn't long about 15 mins. I got the chaufa de camerones and the spaghetti with shrimp as well. Both were fantastic- we always get the shrimp And this was by far the best seasoned shrimp we have gotten in our Peruvian food before. Big portions (two meals) and one of the better versions of these dishes I've had in CT. Prices were comparable to what I've seen so not bad. The "green sauce" was a little liquidity but it tasted good. Wish we were given more but I did recall seeing a sign that charged for extra/bigger sizes. The place itself left a lot to be desired. Big huge convenience store like drink fridge and I saw nothing in the buffet area for prime time dinner time. Not sure I would ever eat in but I'm all for the take out!! read more

Food is so good with big portions as well! Everything here is delicious but I recommend the torta or burritos the most, just out of personal preference lol read more

The food is pretty good, however you should be aware that the online menu pricing is different than the pricing when you walk in and pay. They are fully aware. The woman said she had all the prices updated, however it was written on the paper menu in her hand, which I explained. The online menu pricing I pulled up was not honored. It may only have been an additional $4 Extra on a small order, however if in a budget or expecting to pay something, take into consideration there's been an increase in pricing. Customer service goes a long way. read more

Went for the first time after wanting to for a long time... and boy it was worth it. Food was great. Great tastes and tons of food. Will Def be back. The Lomo Saltado was great. Well done read more

I ordered a ceviche mixto and white rice. The fish was very fishy and had salt water flavors. The octopus was very tough bf hard to chew. The citrus juice was not great. They missed the mark. The white rice was good. read more

This restaurant is great. I usually place my order and pick it up and the food is great. Lunch is amazing and the price is even better for the amount you get. If you are into rottiserie chicken or pollo a la brasa, let me tell you my friends... you won't be dissapointed. read more

Ho hum...and so it goes. Our two servers were like high school age so geez, no complicated questions about the menu please. There's your memo. I could barely hear my dining partners over the HUMMMM of the refrigerated display case or the soccer game. I guess it's doable if you roll in for a quick lunch but otherwise, it didn't move me. The aji was very garlicky but good. No yellow aji Amarillo sauce and no huacatay sauce that day either. Seriously? Little waitress got my order wrong. The pollo Milanese came after the fact & it was the thinnest piece of chicken breast I've ever seen. Didn't care for the dressing on the salad. Had to ask for limes. The yucca was cooked perfectly in fresh oil. The very best thing on the menu is the Arroz Chaufa w seafood. Massive portion w an abundance of seafood. This place just lacks personality. It's like a dark small cafeteria you can't wait to leave. Weird bathroom set up, massive beverage area, waisted dining space. read more

We ordered their lunch specials, one was a beef with vegetable dish and another was chicken. For $8 each, including a pint of soup with each lunch, it is a good deal. The meals were ok/average. The soup was too salty. I wasn't really impressed although I'd be willing to give them a try again next time I'm in the area. read more

We were driving through states and didn't want to stop at another fast food restaurant. This was a good casual dining spot. The food was good, bathrooms were surprising very nice and clean. The service was a tab bit slower than we hoped since we were traveling through but it was worth it to get decent food. I'd recommend the steak, it was amazing. I've eaten a lot of Peruvian restaurants and the chicken wasn't as good as other places I've had. It was a little dry and didn't have as much flavor as I anticipated. Overall, good spot. read more

The chicken and steak lomo are both yummy. The alfahores were good but you will need a drink as they suck the moisture out of your mouth. Dying to try their breakfast which include a few variations of huevos rancheros. Also need to go back and try their rotisserie chicken! Good price/portion and service. read more

First time eating from there and their lomo saltado was ok . I did not dine in and called for takeout instead . After picking up my food, the minute I got out of my car and started to walk to my door , the food ripped through the bag. I called to tell them what had happened . You could tell the guy that answered didn't know what to say to me but instead he hung the phone up . I called back again and no answer . On my 3rd try the lady picked up the phone and I told her what happened with my food and she basically said it wasn't their problem. I told her that I at least would to be reimburse for the extra sauce I paid for and I would be more then happy to provide pictures . She said to me that it's not their fault the bag ripped . They are no longer given out plastic bags and that I should have been holding my food from from the bottom of the bag. Whose says that to a paying customer ? She could have always have been understanding to what just happened. She was so rude and was lucky I didn't call the owner to report her . read more

So glad they changed the sign to Aromas. I had no idea this place did Peruvian food until they did. I finally got the chance to stop in last night after seeing they had my favorite dish. First, I really liked the set up of the place. It was pretty spacious and I definitely wouldn't mind eating in there sometime in the future. I got to the counter and the woman working was very friendly and welcoming. I knew I was absolutely getting the Jaela, but I had to ask about other dishes since it was my first time there and she was very helpful. She said it would be about a 10-15 minute wait so I left and came back. When I did, she said they had actually run out of the the fish they used in the dish. While that was disappointing, she did let me know that the chef threw in some extra shrimp and calamari, which I was totally fine with. When I got home, I was expecting to have only a few more pieces, but, wow. I think the amount of calamari I had was probably equivalent to 2 calamari appetizers, and there was definitely more shrimp than I usually get with this dish at other Peruvian places. All that along with the crab, mussels, and cassava, so this was definitely a lot of food, for only 15 bucks, too! And it was all delicious. All the seafood was beautifully fried, the cassava still had the right texture after being under all that seafood in a takeout container, which surprised me, and the staff was very smart and put the onion salad in a separate container so nothing got soggy. I have to agree with the review below about the Aji, though. It was definitely quite liquid-y, but it still tasted fantastic and was thick enough for me to put into a bowl and dip every piece of food I had into it, so no complaints from me. Just a heads up for anyone expecting a thick sauce. I'm really glad I decided to stop in because that meal was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back to get it again, as well as a few others. read more

I tested this restaurant for the first time. I ordered take out. Person I came in contact with wasn't the friendliest. She took my card ma didn't even thank me for my business. Place it's a little weird inside with the big open fridge with drinks on the corner. Food was actually good. Very generous portion. I'll give them a second shot. read more

If you want an inexpensive an md yummy take out option in Norwalk this is it! Take a break from the usual Chinese & pizza and enjoy their yummy Peruvian and Mexican options. The chicken enchiladas are delicious and so is the bistec encebollado. The actual restaurant is just so so and can use some updating but as a take out option it is definitely one of our favorite. read more

We have gotten takeout 3 times from here and I have yet to like it. I love Peruvian rotisserie chicken and try to get it whenever I chance upon a Peruvian restaurant but this one is nowhere near the quality we've had before. The seafood tasted a bit "old" and the rice was lumpy and also tasted old. I figure 3 chances were enough; we'll go elsewhere. read more
