“ BEST PLACE FOR INDIAN FOOD DOWNTOWN! I come here often since it's close to work. I love the lunch special that I get during my lunch break sometimes. The Samosa and lentil soup are two of my favorite things! I recently had an issue with my order. But I went back and they fixed it for me and I really appreciated this place for that. Great place to if you need some good eats downtown! ”
“ No frills, just good food and big portions. If I lived here I would be here weekly. Aloo tikki chaat was amazing and the chicken 65 biriyani was tasty. ”
“ WOW !! The food was absolutely great.. moreover, the staff was very welcoming and took care of all our needs. It was a busy night but they managed to get the food out on time. I’ve tried all the indian cuisines in Columbia and this is by far the best when it comes to quality , taste and service. Will definitely be bringing the family and friends back here .. 10/10 ”
“ So great. Glad I tried Aroma of India. I had delivery (third party). The taste is fantastic and scent is exactly what I remembered from middle school when I would go over to my friends’ house and her parents would cook in front of us. I’ve missed these flavors and will order again very soon! ”
“ We usually venture out to the Columbia area to try Indian food pretty often and when we heard that this restaurant opened, we were beyond ecstatic! Lively atmosphere, excellent customer service, and of course all of the dishes we ordered were up to par and were absolutely delicious! Everything from the mixed pakora to the gulab jamun served with ice cream is mouthwatering! Will be making frequent trips in the near future ”
“ Amazing food and such a great atmosphere for a group of friends. The servers were absolutely amazing and kind and took great care of me and my friends. We're definitely coming back. ”
“ Was craving some Indian food and I am so glad I decided to come here for dinner the other day. Started with the mixed Pakora for the app and it was absolutely delicious. It had a nice fry on it and wasn’t oily at all. It came with a mint sauce and tamarind, which the tamarind was my favorite. Got the butter chicken for my entree and it was a 10/10. There was so much chicken and the sauce had amazing flavor. Also got some plain naan which was good but a couple pieces were a little burnt and that was the only negative about the entire meal. The place is cute and the service was great. We were told right away what things they were out of which is nice because some places only tend to tell you what they are out of as you are ordering. Indian music was playing in the restaurant and by the middle of my meal I was dancing along to it in my seat. Overall I give this place a 10/10 ”
“ Beautiful flavor, service, and price! Overall a great experience. I had the tandoori chicken, butter chicken, rice, and garlic naan. It was all 10/10! Highly satisfied with the meal! The restaurant was clean... even the restroom (bonus for me: I appreciate not losing my appetite when I hit the washroom be for a meal) ”
