A great Indian Cuisine. You want Indian food? This is one I recommend A cute little mom and pops Restaurant. A very friendly and quiet place. They offer a buffet or you are welcome to order from the menu.

My first time there. The food was good and the portions were generous. Two people shared 2 vegetarian entrees and one lamb dish and there were still leftovers 4 home. Respect their spice levels as “hot” was lava hot. the staff was friendly and parking ez. Will definitely return.

I had the paneer butter masala and it was flavorful and rich. The naan was good.

We have been coming here during COVID lock-down to satisfy our Indian food cravings. I went here previously for their buffet and left very disheartened, but decided to try their takeout and it is 100 times better. I’m not sure why they do this, but everything I’ve ordered for takeout has been delicious. We get the butter chicken, palak paneer, and sometimes the Seafood Korma. Their naan is delicious, their samosas are great, and they serve it with puffy Jasmine rice. I hope after they open their buffet again, it get the same love that their takeout has, if so then there will be a legit Indian buffet in the north-bay finally.

One of my favorite indian food restaurant to eat at. The hospitality here is top notch and reminds my of a few places in India. The buffet is a little small but they far make up for it by putting so much quality in the items that they choose to serve. Their patio seating is refreshing if the weather is nice and transports you to the heart of India with their amazing wall mural. All in all great home cooked Indian food and some of the most wonderful staff who make you feel like you are at their home. Places like this are quite rare now a days. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do

I was impressed. I’ve tried the buffet and the a la carte options. The food is definitely a cut above the rest, and the atmosphere is like home. Not surprising that Aroma is family owned and operated. The staff also remembered my girlfriends food sensitivities, which was surprising and comforting.

Great food. Staff is easy to talk to and will help you find options that fit you best. I am vegan and they have well over 10 options available for me. Good food too. Love the spice. Don’t worry they have less spicy options as well.

I love this place but I have a issue. My friend and I ate here and had the buffet. My friend who is black, he’s darker then me asked for garlic naan and a coke. The gentleman who waited on us spoke and said that the bread wasn’t free and the coke would be 2 dollars. What? I asked for a lemonade and he never quoted me a price. I feel my friend was just discriminated against by this man because he is a black male. Incredible!

We were the 3rd group to arrive 4 adults 1 child. Menu given to us right away, water poured after 20 minutes, 3 other groups sat down after us. We waited 1 hour to order mainly because the 3 other groups after us got to order before us. All those groups started eating before us, waiting over 1 hour & a half just to eat is not acceptable. The chicken was very dry. It was hot outside close to 100 degrees and the air conditioner was very low, people were sweating while eating. I will NOT recommend this place If you want to sit inside & get abused. We wanted to leave but 1 of our group asked to stay, so we stayed, all of us were angry. Food taste different when you’re angry.
