    Garlic Naan
    Dawn N.

    The hostess Sri was kind, courteous and patient. She explained the menu well and made sure we were looked after. Her customer service alone would make me come back but the Lamb korma and shrimp pakora will definitely have me coming back. Mouth watering just think ab

    Service was amazing! Food was outstanding. The best tiki Marsala and mango lassi I have had in Charlotte. Nice decor with indoor and outdoor seating.

    Everything is fresh, clean, and new at this smartly designed Hyderabadian restaurant. The menu is extensive and there are little nuances with the colors and flavors of the dishes compared to the usual Indian restaurants. Instead of getting a plain bottle of water, we were served water that was infused with what tasted mainly like cucumber. Very refreshing. I ordered tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and raita. The raita had a slight pink tinge to it which was unique. The tandoori chicken came out sizzling in a small iron skillet very reminiscent of fajitas. It did take a bit longer to come out than the dishes of my colleagues but the flavor didn't disappoint. I would have preferred a spicier chicken but the flavor was still very good. Also, the portion was a little small. I'm used to getting six pieces of chicken when I order tandoori but only four were provided in this order. They really accommodated us with To Go packaging which I really appreciated. Definitely worth coming back to in the future.

    Best Indian restaurant in Charlotte! Great service and so many great options. This place deserves all the hype!

    Best chicken 65 I've ever had. Perfect sauce and spice level. Great mutter aloo. The sauce is delicious. Aloo gobi was good but the other dishes were so incredible that it couldn't compete. The amount of rice that comes standard with each dish is plenty.

    Rice, aloo gobi, mutter aloo

    I ate here last night and I'm still dreaming about it. If you've grown tired of getting burned by overpriced mediocre Indian food in South Charlotte, fear not; your prayers have been answered. They make best chicken 65 I've ever had and that's saying something. I also had the mutter aloo which was astounding. I can't wait to go back!

    Excellent Indian Food!!!

    Best restaurant in Charlotte, by far. Flavor packed food. We got: Appetizer - 5 Pieces Pakora (like spicy chicken nuggets). I liked the 2 sauces that came with it. Chicken Tikka Kebab. Came in a cast iron pan. Not too spicy, good for my 12 yo son. Butter chicken (not too spicy) Special Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani some pieces of chicken on top, then a large amount of delicious rice then slow cooked dark meat fall off the bone chicken at the bottom. Huge portion. Special Hyderabadi Goat Dum Biryani was amazing as well. Both of those dishes do not have sauce. So, we ordered 2 tikki masala sauces on the side. 2 Large gravy boats of sauce. This was my favorite part of the meal. I poured it on everything. Creamy, similar to the butter chicken sauce but a little spicier. 1 Garlic Naan 1 Butter Naan We should have gotten 2 garlic naans instead. Best Naan we've had in a while. Freshly made. Service was awesome. Restaurant is brand new and clean. We moved here from the west coast where there are tons of Indian food restaurants and have been on the search for a good one. Found it!!! Better than Blue Taj IMO. This family moved here a year ago from the west coast and had a restaurant there. This restaurant is a hidden gem! Near the home depot in promenade shopping center. So glad we tried it.

    Noticed this restaurant on social media and being a big fan of Indian food, I wanted to check it out as it is close to home. The food was excellent!! Naan bread was one of the best I have had and the butter chicken although a little light on the spice was also very good and had flavor hints above the usual that made the dish different than the usual fair from the typical Indian restaurants. The samosas were excellent and the sauces were fantastic (we wanted more!). This place is a hidden gem and worth tracking down for a savory and satisfying meal. The portions are large and I would recommend going up on the spice meter if you like to taste the heat.

Top notch service and hospitality, food served with smiles and pride. Grand feast has 25 items served on a banana leaf in a thali style serving. (Pictures taken were still short of some items.) Each and every item on the banana leaf reminds you of food back home and was tasty. My personal favorites were the paneer, dosa, mung salad, sambhar, puliyogare and kheer. Service for such a feast is no easy feat, and they did a marvelous job in serving food effortlessly and so efficiently. Hats off! They have a loyal customer in us, and we will be back soon. Restaurant seating was changed to accommodate community style feast serving, but place was neat and well maintained. My husband is from Bangalore, so this food hits home for us. So happy to have Aahaar so close by.

However, I'm basing my review here on my most recent visits in last 10 days - Visit 1:- when Dakshin started their weekend buffet, we went on 3rd March - first weekend of buffet. It was chaotic is an understatement. There was no order in which appetizers were lined up - one could literally go left or right after picking a clean plate -- this was creating a HUGE chaos. Also the area where plates were kept was a doorway of some sort so there were people congregating. Food itself was okay - not the best buffet food I've had - but the experience itself made me not want to go for next helping. By the end of our meal, place (esp the entrance) was stinking bad of floor cleaner! Yuck! Visit 2:- I literally tried hard to give this place a second chance by trying their weekday buffet - assuming there would be less foot traffic given a Monday (11th March). Flyers and IG posts all promotes start time of 11:30AM. We reached there at 11:30AM. Staff said they will be ready in 5-min. We were okay to wait. It was then 11:50 and there was no sign of readiness. I had to go ask the staff member why there is a delay and reiterate that it beats the purpose of quick buffet on a weekday lunch if they are taking so long to just get ready! Staff advised us to get started while they are still placing some of their dishes (such a naan/bread). Again - the experience was bad. Food was okay again. Stink of floor cleaner was very much there. I am never giving this place my money again! Worst ever experience.

Your server will save you from dying of burned mouth and tongue. I don't give out many five star reviews, but Aroma earns one for their great menu, excellent dishes and servers that speak English well. And I like eating ethnic when it is TRULY ethnic. A very fine restaurant Aroma is. Remember, Aroma caters to Indian clientele tastes. THAT is their main population that come in to eat and to host parties. They are NOT catering to American tastes. Accept that. If you are not of India race, you are, truly, a guest. But you can, pretty please, ask for a lower heat level than would normally come out of the kitchen. Mango Lassi ($6), plain yogurt and your server are your saviors. Wife had a glass of white wine ($10) and generally hates dairy of any kind. Yougurt does soothe a fiery tongue and she did have a sip or two of Lassi just as first aid. When you see the word, "Bullet", it means, generally, the hottest of the hot. I like bullet naan bread, sprinkled with finely chopped green peppers and eat food with it. OK. I LOVE their Bullet Shrimp ($18 + $2 for shrimp) done mild. It was interesting as people and staff would come by our table mentioning, with amazement, that the Bullet Shrimp was the hottest thing that comes out of the kitchen. I replied that I did ask for a mild version, which put them all on the path of the truth. Even mild, you will need to eat maybe plain naan or some other dish to break up the heat distribution. It is good, though. We had the fried 65 Gobi ($15) which is cauliflower done medium heat. Yummy with mint sauce. It is wife's favorite, and we ate one order with our meal and took a second order home with us. A great appetizer, so try it, as chicken or Gobi (cauliflower). My brother lived in Andra Pradish in Hyderabad, so I ordered a Hyderabadi Masala ($17), with chicken, to try it out. Medium heat, but still spicy, it was OK with rice or naan. Probably will not order it again. Pull up your socks and go there to try it out. Remember to use your server. Start mild spice and work your way up so that you can enjoy Indian dishes as they are normally made, but adjusted to your acceptable level of spice/heat.
