This is the best Indian restaurant in London, and I've been to all of them. The food is delicious and fresh. The naan bread and onion bhajis are to die for! The eggplant dish is also wonderful. I see that other reviewers have complained about the service, and it's true that the server was a bit slow and seemed confused, but she was friendly and very happy to give us what we wanted when she understood what that was. It's a small, family-run restaurant, so adjust your expectations accordingly.
My wife and I visited as we were looking for a restaurant near Beale secondary school. We were attending our daughter's dance performance. The place was quite empty when we arrived on a Thursday evening, but got busy shortly after. We will see it quickly and our server was very helpful in helping us pick our dishes. He answered all of our questions with patients.
We ordered the vegetable kadai and the gulab. I think the sauce in the kadai was fantastic, striking a good balance between sweetness and spiciness. However there were what I thought to be too few pieces of vegetables.
Alberto, for the price point and service, I will come back again.
Tonight, I switched it up. Aroma of India was my destination.
I perused the menu and eventually decided my appetizer would be chana masala. This is a classic North Indian dish. It is composed of chickpeas cooked in tomato, spices, and herbs. I paired this with garlic naan.
Mughlai paneer biryani (mild) was my entree. I ate this also with garlic naan. The standout flavour was mint.
Although there was Indian music playing, that’s about it for atmosphere. The dining area is bland. It needs colour.
I paid $37.
Aroma of India isn’t a bad restaurant, but it’s nothing extraordinary. My rating is four out of five.
