This is our favourite Indian restaurant. We have been coming for years. Always fast and friendly service. Flavorful dishes with the right level of flavor and heat. They serve good portions and menu has reasonable prices. Restaurant is clean and lots of free parking. My kids and I love the food here.

I love this place. Right when you walk in, the ambience is just dimly lit and romantic. They even have a mini waterfall fountain. The staff were very nice and welcomed us to our seats. The menu was a bit expensive with the smaller portions, I kind of wish there were more curry, but the naan were huge! 😁 Our server even checked on us to see if our food was good. We tried chicken korma and goat vindaloo. It was my first time trying goat. It tasted just like beef. They even complimented me on my goose bag hehe. The food here truly was aromatic.

The place had such a traditional design . The food were awesome . Garlic bred was on the other levels ! I wish I ordered more of that to take home

We ordered a takeout from this restaurant yesterday. We tried to eat the food as soon as we got it home. The rotis that were given were very hard and so cold. It didn't appear fresh. The curry we ordered was medium spicy but it was made so spicy that we all couldn't eat. Very disappointed with the food. We ended up not eating any of the food. Please look into it and make sure food given is fresh.

Food was excellent, great service and a very clean restaurant. Butter, chicken, lamb, curry, Mariani rice, curried calamari all were excellent. No need to drive into Vancouver anymore for this type of food.

October 27, 2024

I’m not saying the food was not good!!! Or there was a plastic strip in my dish!!! The thing is when I took back the food for exchange, they accused me that put it there intentionally, while as you can see still 80% of food is there!! I’m saying don’t go there if you respect yourself.

Amazing Indian restaurant!!! My friend and I have been craving Indian food and we decided to try this restaurant! This restaurant review is already very good so I did not worry about food would be bad. We ordered two curry dish one world famous butter chicken (says in the menu) lamb and one rice and three kinds of bread basket. Price is not expensive it was very reasonable compared to downtown Vancouver. It is really really good. All the food had lots of flavour. Oh service was very good. Our server and owner (manager) both was very kind even though we came almost closing hour. I live downtown Vancouver and the restaurant is little far from my home but it was worth it!!!!!

Food was really good and would have been 5 stars but... Both my napkin and fork were dirty and needed exchanging. My mango lassi was a bit on the watery side; straw would not stand up. The restaurant is a little worn out in many ways. For example, the pepper shaker looked like something you wouldn't but at a yard sale for any price. With some small updates this could be a great place. Price was so so. I ordered "hot" but what I got was "medium" at best.

Cute little restaurant. The owner/chef was our host/server for lunch. He was so kind and courteous! We were there for a work lunch, and most of us (including me ) have never been there before. He helped explain the different dishes. We ordered an assortment of dishes. Butter chicken, pakora (delicious) and a few rice dishes and this appy of fish that were coated and I could have eaten the entire plate and 2 types of Naan. we ended with chai tea and this variation of donut.(round dessert with a syrup). I cant remember all the dishes but I would definitely go there again! give it a try! I forgot to take photos this time

We ordered Malai Kofta and roti. The malai kofta were tasting bad and stale. Worst food, will never order from this restaurant.

Everything here was very fresh and delicious! You can definitely tell they use whole/fresh spices in their dishes. Tried their World Famous butter chicken but with lamb instead of chicken. Was afraid it would be gimmicky but it was probably the best Ive had in the city so far. Also recommend their Aloo Paratha, crispy exterior with warm spiced potato in between. Heavenly! Mango Lassi was very refreshing, great mango flavours and not too overpowering in spices. Service was very friendly as well. Will definitely be back! Within walking distance of Moody Centre skytrain or there is plenty of free parking in the plaza.

I tried Aroma at their old location many years ago (take out) and thought that the food was just ok so I didnt go back. However, I was recently craving Indian food so I decided to try it again at their new location and noticed a huge improvement. I dont know if anything has changed (other than location) or if the day I originally ordered was a off day for the chef, but we have ordered twice since because the food was so good. I also like their online ordering feature which makes it super easy and convenient. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food. The owner is very friendly and engaged with guests. Regulars are usually treated very well. They will do a Canadian Hot or Indian Hot scale for spicy, but they really, really mean it if you go full Indian Hot - be prepared for true spice, and most will likely need to work their palette up to it over time. Some live performances typical in the (weekend?) evenings, but most of it is light music and unobtrusive to your meal. Good vegetarian options and impressive variety of Naan flavours.

I sometimes order delivery from this restaurant and the food is solid. They recently moved within Port Moody to a more convenient location right across Moody Centre Station, which makes takeout easier if I am taking transit - a good move in my opinion.

Meh, nothing great. We ordered the Paneer Makhni - Indian hot spice level, but it seemed like theyve emptied a whole box of grated green chilies into the gravy. We had to add around 50g of butter to make it eatable. The samosa was oily. Disappointing.

Have been coming here since they opened (must be close to 20 years now?). Always fantastic. My favorite dishes are the chicken korma, vegetable Manchurian, samosas, garlic naan, lamb vindaloo and seekh kebab. So good! Moved away for a few years and have now moved back to town, so excited to become a regular again. The chicken korma is my all time favorite curry. Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options, heaps of variety too.

DISGUSTING FOOD We just visited this place right now, everything about this place was disgusting. We ordered Chicken Vindaloo, Kadhai Paneer, Chicken Chilli Dry, Chicken Seekh Kebab. Nothing was fresh. Over priced for this disgusting food. In chicken Vindaloo- Gravy just had tomato paste in it, no salt, no masala. Chicken had weird smell. Kadhai Paneer- it almost had same taste as chicken Vindaloo gravy. Quantity was not sufficient. Chicken Chilli Dry- It was all tomato sauce. No taste. Chicken Seekh Kabab- It was frozen chicken put into some veggies. The chicken was cold from inside. How and Why are you serving this food on plate??!! I will never ever recommend visiting this place ever.

Food was decent, not amazing though. Unfortunately, I found a piece of metal in my naan during my take-out meal. It appeared as though it was a bristle from a metal brush that fell off. I emailed the restaurant, and did not get a response. Would not eat again just from a safety concern.

Whether dining in or taking out, Aroma is a culinary gem. I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant last night and the food was not only incredibly tasty but also served in large, satisfying portions allowing all of us at the table to take food back home. What also sets this restaurant apart is the lovely service. The staff were attentive (refilling my water constantly), friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The owner, who also served as our host, took the time to explain why they had to move to their new location. They have been at the current spot for an impressive 13 years, and after tasting their food, I can understand why they have such a loyal following. If youre not in the mood to dine in, I highly recommend ordering takeout there when you next feel like Indian food.

I stopped by Aroma a few weeks ago for dinner. This was my first visit to the restaurant. The restaurant is located in Port Moody in a beautiful part of the city. The restaurant has a beautiful large patio which allows you to enjoy your meal outdoors depending on the season. Indoors there is ample seating available. There is ample parking available as well. Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered several options from the menu and enjoyed our meal. I would stop by again. We did enjoy the butter chicken.

The owner yells at his employees. The food tastes great but they forget parts of your orders. They did not have an plough in stalk and instead of replacing it or calling us they took it off the order. There was 6 of us and not enough food to eat.

Good food BUT dont go there at lunch. It is a dark, dingy poorly lit environment, more conducive to a night out.

As an Indian, the worst Indian food I ve ever had. The mango lassi and raita were incredibly sour. The shahi paneer had absolutely no flavour. The garlic naan was soft but useless as the paneer was terrible. The only good thing about my order was the samosa, and even that was lacking immense flavour but saved by the chutneys. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The food and service was wonderful but the price were expensive and the portions were small. The curry was around $20 and came in a small soup dish. It was just enough for one person. We had four people in our family and we each got one scoop full try eat. We ordered 4 items to share and left still hungry. I would try coming here for the buffet.

The food was phenomenal. The service was even more phenomenal. It was such a family vibe with the servers which was so nice. Highly recommend the garlic naan and they re not joking when they say their butter chicken is famous! SO GOOD!!!

Really disgusting food. We ordered two pieces of vindaloo chicken and the taste was horrible. The curry was completely liquid with no taste, tastes like water only, and a complete lack of spicyness. Do not order from here ever. It is the worst taste of any Indian food I have ever tried. Worse even if you order from skip the dishes, they wont give you even a partial refund despite knowing from the comments that this has happened before. Avoid at all costs.

I took a detour from my day to try this place, and Im glad that I did! Fancy interior, genuine service, and tasty food. The menu is pretty big. I got the lamb ragonjosh, and the spices were perfect. The prices were good, but if youre very hungry, get both rice and naan with the curry to fill you up. I will probably visit again.

Friendly staff, delicious food, but first they brought a dish with hair, and the owner said that it was most likely ginger But they changed it. I ate a new dish and remembered the hair I brought and was worried, it wasn t very comfortable. In general, tasty, but not clean.

At best this is a typical Punjabi restaurant that one may come across all throughout Metro Vancouver. Nothing wrong with that, I love Punjabi food, but please read... Ihave gone to this restaurant a few times and tried a few dishes but all the meat curries are same tasting, with the exception of different meats and of course different menu names. The lamb kadai taste exactly like lamb or goat curry! The biryani is basically chicken curry mixed with rice. You might as well just order chicken curry with rice on the side, mix it yourself, and wallah! you have just made biryani. Now, I am NOT saying the the food dont taste good, I would give three stars for the food. Taste: 3/5 Portion Size: 3/5 Place setting: 3/5 (i would give it a 4 if the music was not too loud, they were playing the 60s and 70 Hindi songs (I love hindi songs) prior to todays visit, they were playing religious songs and very loud, I am at a restaurant and not in a temple. Value: 2/5 The reason for this is that I had ordered their mix grilled platter, the meats were fresh. This dish cost some $25 plus tax, but ONLY ONE SHRIMP!! AND ONE SMALL PEICE OF FISH!! go figure. For $25 just one pc of shrimp. I am not kidding. At first I thought it was an over sight, I talked to the guy, and he said yes, we only give one pc of shrimp, few minutes later the older guy (owner) i spoke to him and he too confirms that in a $25 mix grilled platter there is only one shrimp. I was amazed, yet the owner did not say anything to make me feel good, even when I am telling him, hey, I dont see value. Something wrong here. Service: 4/5 Didnt have to wait too long. Its was around 2:pm and the restaurant was empty. There were only two more people dining.

Normally our go-to for Indian in the Tri-cities. Friday we bought a massive take-out order for our daughters birthday celebration. Everything was very salty - not normal at all. Hopefully they will have this corrected the next time we need great Indian food.

Poor preparation and complete waste of money. Raw curry provided. Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala through Skip the Dishes... The curry was raw and unpalatable. Complete waste of money.

This is one of our favourite restaurants currently. We used to eat Indian food a couple times a year. Now we eat it every couple weeks honestly because of this place. The food is amazing and flavourful and it doesn t make you feel overly heavy after. Our favourites are butter chicken, palak paneer, aloo gobi, naan and palao rice. They ve been great through the pandemic, following regulations as we ve observed picking up take-out. We ve eaten in a few times and it was a good experience but we get takeout 95% of the time. Definitely recommend.

My experience with this restaurant has been one of my worst experiences. The food was undercooked so I called the restaurant to inform and complain about it, a man picked up the call and when I told him it s under cooked, he started screaming at me and started insulting me. Please note, I didn t ask him for a refund or to send me the food again, was just letting them know so they don t do it again. But the man who answered claimed to be the owner and I don t think that is how you treat someone. It s highly unprofessional. I used to order food from this restaurant a lot but now I am going to stop.

Ordered an Indian curry and they surprised me with a piece of plastic in it. I found it almost after finishing the whole thing. So I dont know whether I ate a plastic bag or what not. After showing to the owner he told me that its a human mistake anyone could have made it. So you can enjoy you Indian curry with a plastic side dish of you want.

I m new to an area so I went for a walk . During that walk I need to pee and I stop and said can I please use the washroom . the front end staff say are you a customer because that the only people whom can use them . I understand if I looked under 20 but I dam well 55 and wearing really nice clothing . It seem like you more concerned about TP and 20 bucks or less it would cost to clean a washroom every month extra , then good first impressions. The joke is I finished my walk and spent 50 bucks at the Italian place 2 blocks down the way. From the other bad reviews it also seem you don t understand customer service at all. The funniest thing is if you leave a nice review the owner thanks you but say nothing at all when it comes to bad ones. Kind makes you wonder why that is ?
