Reviews for Aroma Indian Bistro in Merchantville, NJ
Consistently great! We often get the chicken tikka naan and the palak paneer. Last night we tried the vegetable navratan korma... which was AMAZING! Might be my new favorite dish! Read more
Their food is SO GOOD! Definitely a great place for lunch or dinner. The chicken korma is my favorite. And the saffron pistachio... ice cream is to die for. Read more
Food actually very good, service (or lack thereof) really spoiled the experience. They seem to do a brisk takeout business to... the point that they forget about the diners who are actually eating in. Waited a LONG time to be seated and was given a pitcherof warm water (I.e., no ice). My main course (chilli chicken) came out about one minute after my appetizer (aloo tiki chaat),which drives me nuts. I ordered a can of Diet Coke to offset the warm water but they were unable to give me a second can sincethey had no more cold Diet Cokes (??!!). Both of my dishes were very good, but I just felt like an afterthought the whole timeI was there. Read more
I ordered their lunch combo! Amazing deal on grubhub! Great price and great food. 5 stars especially for the Masala Chai. Too... sweet but had great taste to it. Reminded me of a place called 'Quetta chai' from Karachi, Pakistan! Ah theauthenticity. Channa Masala was yummy! The naan was perfectly cooked! Rice was a bit sweet but the spice in the entrees hadbalanced it out. WORST PLACE FOR BIRYANI! They have no idea what a biryani taste like because its definitely notsweet. Overall, great price! Great comfort food. Would definitely recommend the Lunch combo. But seriously, NOOOOO utensils?!Are you kidding me:((( that was a huge bummer for me!!! Read more
If you love authentic, traditional fare, this is the place to get it! While I was photographing their menu, Aditya—the most... personable owner—explained the complexities of Northern Indian cuisine to me. Then he sent me home with some of the mostdelicious Indian food I've ever tasted. Read more
Dont order from here they charged me $26 for basically two kids meals n had the nerve to not even fill up the container. The... curry my sister got was even smaller n they charged us $15. The food was gud but over priced in my opinion n I won't be orderingfrom here again. Read more
My wife and I were the only people there for a Sunday lunch, and the food was fine, but not great, even for a buffet. The... chicken was tender and the naan supple, but the veg dishes were clearly slowly overcooked in the chafing dishes. We were seatedby the window (probably to give the illusion of more people being there--something my wife realized), which was fine at first,as we could look out and see people walking by, but the novelty faded as the sun beat in on us. The waitstaff was initiallyinattentive to the point that I had to go get the pitcher of water to refill our glasses, though the service did improve overthe course of the meal. It troubles me to write this, and I hope Aroma improves, because there's some potential here. I'll trytheir takeout next to see if it's an improvement. Read more
We came in a group of 5 to dine in. Excellent service and delicious food, entrees were a good size for sharing (some other... Indian places are smaller portions). Highly recommend the chicken saagwala, Kashmiri naan, and lentil soup. Read more
