This is the best Indian food I have ever had!! Value for money, CLEAN! Which is surprisingly hard to find these days and the food tasted like curry should taste! Each dish is made the way you want it and the service is great! I cannot recommend this place more highly! Please do yourself a favor and go to Aroma!!
Have just come back from supper at Aroma Restaurant - and wow, what a hidden gem! Bought the Groupon voucher - 1 starter and 1 mains per person. Complimentary Papadums to start with, which were delish, with some yummy dips including homemade chutney.
For starters we had the Brinjal Bhajia, Dum Aloo, Reshmi Kebab and Tandoori Garlic Chicken. All divine! First time I've had Indian cheese - which is made fresh on the premises daily. The chicken was super tender. Beautiful garnish, rose carved in beetroot. Indicates attention to detail.
For mains we had Butter Chicken, Spicy Mango Chicken and Chicken Shai Korma. They each had a unique flavour, all amazing in taste, the Korma being my fav. You can taste they were all made fresh, which is what the restaurant prides itself in. Everything is made fresh daily, so were told it would take some time. But the food still came out quickly if you ask me.
The naan was the best I've ever had, even better than Ghazal. The Jeera rice is also really good, very flavoursome.
The owners, mother and daughter team, came to chat to us. Both very friendly and clearly very passionate about their food. The kitchen is very clean and they have chefs who clearly know what they're doing.
It's a pity the restaurant wasn't full - it should be! Definitely some of the best Indian food I have had. And you can taste it's made with love. We will definitely be returning soon! Don't let the shopping centre/location deter you from going. Also, there is a reliable car guard on duty.
A definite must if you're on a quest to find the best Indian cuisine in Jozi. And you'd be supporting some wonderful people who love what they do and believe in quality.
My most favourite Indian Restaurant in Johannesburg! The lamb biryani is absolutely amazing and you also get a decent portion. Also ordered naan as same makes any Indian meal complete. Can definately recommend!
Absolutely amazing food and service!!! We came out for my fiancés birthday on Sunday evening and we were all very happy with our meals and the friendly staff & amazing service. Highly recommended! We’ll be back for sure. A big thank you for fixing the birthday cake that we brought!This was not your responsibility but still you made sure that it looked pretty when it came out. Thank you again for an amazing Sunday evening!
Friendly, warm service from the owners and staff. Food is amazing. Breyani, paneer and lamb curries all get good marks. Location is a bit dodgy, but absolutely worth the trip.
What a Joburg jem! We found them on-line and dropped by to pick up some take-aways. The food was an absolute delight with generous portions, perfect balance of heat and spice and wonderful fragrant rice. We will definitely become regulars. I’m so full right now but I could do the meal all over again.
We agree little gem of a restaurant should be full every evening!!!
We all loved our starters and mains.
A must to try.
Great food, atmosphere, value for money!
This restaurant is a little gem set in an obscure shopping center.
We tried this place last night having heard from friends that this was a place for a good curry. We were not disappointed.
The service food and friendly advice we got left us with a good feeling. The usual menu items plus a few specific to the venue.
Well worth the drive.
Probably the nicest Indian food I have tasted in Johannesburg . And the hosts are just lovely. Will come back for more. Nothing disappointed , so I would recommend you order as much as possible and taste everything!
The location isn't the best in a small dark shopping center but the food is excellent with an emphasis on fresh. Nothing is pre made and meals are made to order. Service is excellent and helpful.
Stopped there after a late night at work for takeaways- I waited a while, they assured me it was 'cause it was freshly prepared- and pleasantly surprised - it was The Best Indian food I've ever had:)
We decided to try Aroma today because it's so cold and wet we thought "perfect curry weather " and we were not disappointed. Aroma is what hits you as you near the door and follows through in the delicious flavors of everything we had. They pride themselves on fresh food prepared from scratch and you can taste it. One of the best Indian meals we've ever had.
What a beautiful restaurant! Mother, daughter owned business... The waiters are like family. Everyone is so polite and attentive. The energy is pure...
The food is amazing! Presentation so pretty...
You have to try this place!
I know I'll definitely be back...
Ate out at every Indian restaurant in Johannesburg. Had to try out Aroma after reading all the reviews. It didn't disappoint at all. Food was delicious 😋. Love the cleanliness. Excellent customer service. Will definitely be visiting again to try out the rest of the vegetarian dishes.
I cannot recommend Aroma enough. They’re service is top tier 👏🏾 We had ordered a meal during loadshedding on uberEats (first time ordering from Aroma), but the delivery was a total disaster. The manager of Aroma went out of her way to get the order to us, personally Ubering the meal herself! We couldn’t believe how much effort they put in to get our food delivered, albeit over 2 hours after ordering. The taste of the food was also incredible. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much again for the outstanding service. This is now a regular spot for us. Do pay them a visit, you won’t be disappointed.
My new favourite Indian restaurant. Delicious curry and thin crispy naan.
Excellent, helpful and friendly staff.
A great Friday evening! Had the Aloo Tikki for a starter - very well served and tasty!
I had the lamb butter masala and my brother the butter chicken with rice and naan.
The food was full of flavour, with a great 'aroma' ;)
And the owner was very friendly! Thank you!
(Photo a bit blurry, but a delicious aloo tikki!)
The best Indian food I've ever had. Highly recommended. Lamb korma is out of this world. Prices are very fair. Extremely friendly and attentive staff.
You can't go wrong.
Went to Aroma for our first time on Saturday evening and were highly impressed by the staff the owner and most of all the food.
Absolutely delicious.
My wife had the Lamb Vindaloo and I had the Prawn and Fish curry.
We will definitely be supporting this restaurant again.
Definitely the best curry restaurant around
The most amazing Indian restaurant I have ever been to. Excellent service, excellent food and overall just an incredible experience!
Absolutely blown away by our visit to Aroma Indian Restaurant in Linden. The food was incredible. Such a lovely experience. Highly recommended!
Some of the best curries I've ever had. Great staff. And I mean GREAT! And the owner, Shileen, is so passionate. Although a bit hidden away and surprisingly empty (considering how amazing the food is), you must try this. The mango lassi was just like the one I had in Jaipur! Yum!
