This was our first visit here and won't be our last! The young gentleman that served us was very accommodating and friendly. He suggested the Tikka Masala Chicken for my meal and it was bursting with flavours, perfect heat and delicious. The samosas were by far the best I have had, the filling was bursting at seams and extremely well portioned and for a great price. Naan was crispy and chewy and perfect cooked! Their entire menu is extremely well priced, which was a pleasant surprise. The next visit will be happening sooner rather than later read more

Really good Indian food. The name is a little funny but don't let that fool you! Six of us shared an array of family style dishes, as well as salty lassi and mango lassi. If you're in Sydney, B.C., I highly recommend this little place. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Yum. Best Indian food we have had for years. The aromas will lead you in. The eggplant dish is to die for. All I can say is YUM!

I was staying in Saanichton and was looking for a vegan place for dinner nearby without having to go into Victoria. I discovered that this place has plenty of vegan options. So I did an online order and my order was waiting for me upon arrival. I got the the vegetable lentil soup ($4.95 plus tax) to start, a wonderfully rich, adequately spicy soup with various mixed veggies. The flavour depth was superb -- hard to imagine a better Indian soup than this. Lovely. 5/5 I got the vegetable vindaloo ($14.95 plus tax) for my main, which came with rice, and asked for it "Indian hot". This definitely did the trick and was very spicy. It came with plenty of vegetables and an overall large portion. However, I wasn't as impressed with the flavour depth and complexity as I was with the soup though. The dish was quite smoky, with subdued tomato character, but without additional depth. This was still solid, just not at the highest level. 3.5/5 I got some tandoori roti ($1.95), a nice whole wheat flatbread to scoop up the vindaloo. Overall, a great spot in Sidney -- perhaps I'll return next time to try their other dishes and see how they do them, since the soup was so awesome. Recommended if spending time in Sidney. read more

My favourite curry place hands-down. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is nice. Whenever I have a visitor from the mainland I bring them here for curry. Highly recommend. The curries here are delicious, full of flavour and made with rich, fresh and authentic spices. read more

Amazing Indian food! My dad said his tandoori chicken was the best he's ever had, and my curry was just about the best I've ever had. Great service as well! read more

The food was excellent. Our server was attentive, but not over bearing. This is a spot to try if you are in Sydney

Amazing food but be careful of the spice levels. Mild has a kick. But so delish! Very gluten free friendly.

We love Indian cuisine and can be quite critical having traveled through India . All our selections were done to perfection. Service was quick despite being a full restaurant . Spice and distinct seasonings were in perfect balance . Ambiance nice overall, servers pleasant . We will definitely make this a favorite for return visits. read more

Located right next to 3rd street cafe is this little gem. It has 3 outdoor patio tables that can sit up to 4 people. Inside it's very cozy. The staff is very patient and polite. I didn't see a breakfast menu but the lunch menu has these plates which are 15$ approx each and they come with different meats, sides and bread. We tried the vegetarian and lamb and enjoyed both. Dessert is included. It's that little taste of Asia that is not easy to find. Only 4 stars cause I wish they had a breakfast menu. I would be very curious to see what it looks like! read more

Extremely good food and pleasant service. I had the Royal Fish Tikka- if was tender, perfectly flavored and fresh. I really loved it. The Tandoori Chicken was excellent as was the potato cauliflower. Nothing was too salty, all perfectly seasoned. Roti was best we've had. The Potato stuffed naan was exceptional as well. The Jalfrezi Peas Pulau rice dish was really good and the saffron rice was super. We also enjoyed a Strongbow cider, local pale ale, and mango lassi. Would definitely come back next time we are in the area. Appreciated that they were actually open on Monday night too! read more

This is the best Indian cuisine we've had in quite sometime. The food and service is first rate. We live on one of the Gulf Islands and make frequent trips to Sidney. The food is so good here, that we are willing to take the ferry to Sidney just for another delicious meal! read more

Great food, nice service, reasonable prices. Will definitely come back to try more dishes. We had lamb tikka masala, roasted eggplant and garlic naan. All were amazing!! New favorite place in Sidney. read more

Very cozy and inviting restaurant. We like it even better than the previous restaurant on this site (Swiss Bistro). We ordered the ginger cauliflower appetizer. It was very good and included a small but delicious salad portion. We also ordered garlic nan (so-so), house fried rice (outstanding), and the house lamb curry dish, medium hot (outstanding). We found the food had a very clean, non-greasy taste and it was flavoured to perfection. We took the delicious leftovers home! Recommended! read more

YUM YUM! My husband and I had an overall wonderful experience at Royal Aroma! From the flavourful generously portioned spiced dishes prepared by the chef and Renee our (menu) knowledgeable and friendly server, this place was top rated. I highly recommend everyone to tease their taste buds whether at the restaurant, delivery or pickup. read more
