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.

Another good night and dinner. Ordered too much, but it is hard for us to limit the dishes that we…read moreboth like, because Indian food is great for take-away and eating the next day. My favorite is an appetizer that I order as my main: Pitapuram Prawns (18.99). Yummy curry-ish sauce in which are nicely done shrimp, about 10, with green peppers and onions. I can only eat about half of it in the restaurant, so the other half is for the next day. I like it with Bullet Naan ($3.99), which is naan bread sprinkled with a mix of green peppers. Spicy, but delicious. Try it. Wife and I noshed on Gobi (cauliflower) fried or wet ($13.99). Tonight it was in a light sauce and was excellent. These are also good the next day after a tour of the air fryer. This night I had an Indian version of Coke, Thumsup (meaning Taste the Thunder). $3.99. All I tasted was Coke, so no thunder. They were our of Bindi or okra, one of our favorites, coming as a stew. Word of advise: we normally, on a scale of 5, go for spice level 3. We have found that Swadeshi Adda cooks are a bit heavy on the spices, so now go for level 2. You can have no spice and that does not give you the flavor of the item, but level 1 will.

We were hesitant to try this restaurant because the previous Indian restaurant that was in this…read morelocation wasn't our favorite. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised and it was so so good! We tried a chicken app, korma, the parotta and garlic naan. The breads were a stand out for sure, and you could tell they were homemade. It was the best garlic naan I have ever tasted. The Monagaado chicken was presented nicely and had a lot of flavor. The korma wasn't my favorite but still very good. I prefer my korma a little creamier. But, there are a lot of creamy dishes on the menu, so we will definitely be back to try more. Don't miss out on trying their breads!

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.

I had the Tandoori Chicken at Curry Gate a couple of years ago and thought it was excellent, so I…read morewas looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, my experience today was very different. I ordered the Tandoori Chicken with a spice level of 6, but the chicken was surprisingly bland and had very little flavor. I expected at least some noticeable seasoning and heat, especially given the spice level I requested. The pricing was also disappointing compared with my previous visit. The Tandoori Chicken was $17, the portion was relatively small, and neither rice nor bread was included. By the time you add those separately, it becomes a fairly expensive meal for the amount of food you receive. Based on how good my previous experience was, I expected much better. Unfortunately, today's meal was average at best and did not feel like a good value. The people working there were very friendly.

We stopped in today after noticing we were nearby on the map and decided to give it a try -- and…read moreI'm glad we did! We were warmly greeted and seated right away by Joy herself . She's such a lovely, sunny young woman -- incredibly pleasant to talk to and very responsive to all our questions. We started with mango lassis , one for each of us. I also ordered garlic naan , which is one of my favorites. Since the restaurant specializes in kabobs, I decided to try the garlic chicken kabobs , while my husband went with the veal kabobs . The mango lassi was tasty , though I'd suggest serving it in a glass when dining in -- just a small touch that would elevate the experience. We were also provided with water , which was appreciated, especially with dishes that include rice and bread . My husband's veal kabobs and naan arrived first, followed shortly by my garlic chicken kabobs. The naan did not disappoint -- soft, warm, and full of garlicky goodness . My chicken kabobs were flavorful and came out piping hot , a great sign of freshness. One thing to note for future guests: the kabobs are served without sauce, so don't expect a curry-style dish like tikka masala . We had just two small critiques: 1. The rice served was jasmine, which felt a bit dry and underwhelming. Typically, we're used to basmati rice with Indian cuisine, so this was a noticeable difference. 2. The veal kabobs, though well-seasoned, were overcooked and had a chewy texture . To finish off the meal, I ordered the ras malai -- and wow! It was delicious. I even went back for seconds! The establishment itself was clearly recently renovated . You can tell thought was put into the space -- the color palette was fresh and tasteful, and the overall atmosphere was very clean and inviting . It made for a lovely dining experience from start to finish.

I found a new favorite Indian restaurant! It's so good, I went back in less than one week and…read morebrought someone else ! The first time, I was with my husband. The restaurant has re-decorated and renamed from the Indian restaurant that was here before. It looks very nice and bright inside with beautiful booths that look as if they have crystals nestled into the black fabric. We started off with the chicken samosa. It was delicious ! It reminded me of having a chicken pot pie inside a crispy, puffed pastry. It was served with a tasty green sauce and a tangy brown sauce to dip in. The next time I came, the waiter brought us their special sauce to dip in, and it was even better. It tasted like spicy cilantro and mint. For entrees, my husband ordered the lamb kabobs. They came out sizzling hot, just like you see the fajita meat at Mexican restaurants. They were very good. I got the lamb chetinadu with rice. I asked for it spicy, but it wasn't quite spicy enough. Even my light-weight husband could eat it... so it was definitely weak. They took it back and fixed it, then it was perfect ! (And an entirely different color- it went from brown to a reddish color). I got the garlic naan bread to go with it, but it was not as thick and fluffy as other places. It reminded me of store-bought naan. My only complaint was their mango lassi. It was served in a plastic cup, not a glass, and was really watered down. I doubt I will buy it again. I like it thick and flavorful. Next we tried 2 of the desserts. The first dessert ras malai topped with sliced almonds reminded me of tres leches, except the spongy "cake" was round balls. It was good. The second was carrot halwa topped with cashews. It was ok. Interesting to try different things. They charge extra for credit card, so pay with cash. Also, closely watch what you are being charged. I was almost charged one dollar more than what was listed on the menu for the dessert. I came back 5 days later with my Indian friend and we both got the Hakka noodles (Indo-Chinese). They were very good ! This may be my go-to order. I must say, the Indo-Chinese noodles are better at Aroma because they put more cabbage and carrots, but this was still very good. That would be my suggestion... to add more veg. and they could be just as good. Lastly I tried their mothu kur laddu for dessert. I really enjoyed it. Note this item said $5 on the menu, but I was charged $6 upon check out. I caught it, and it was corrected. My Indian friend was not impressed with the dessert selection. She said most are likely from a can at the store. I personally don't know any different so to my little American self, it was fine. Overall, I'll probably become a regular here. Thinking about inviting a group to join me next week !
