We've been to Aroma of India in Sturt Street a number of times recently. Recommend eating in. We like the Eggplant Masala, Biryani and Palak Paneer and the Naan has always been soft, fresh and tasty. Dishes have been consistently good, flavours are balanced and delicious. The butter chicken is pretty good too!

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, service is good and the food tastes good too.
However, I found the portions lacking when it came to the meat in the dishes. The curries had more gravy and very little meat, and the biryani had more rice than meat.
Im not asking for bowl full of meat, For the price paid, I expected a reasonable amount of meat in the dishes. It’s disappointing considering the overall quantity.
Additionally, I would suggest not adding capsicum to the biryani, as it changes the overall taste. Instead, consider adding little more meat to attract more customers.

The decor is a little plain and the waiter (assumedly the owner) appears slightly rushed but don't let these dissuade you from a great little Indian restaurant. I opted for the onion bhaji to start, followed by the chicken tikka masala accompanied by garlic naan, and mango lassi to drink. The entree came out reasonably quick, though oddly I did not receive my lassi (despite a tray of them facing me in the fridge) until my main had arrived. The bhaji was a tiny bit overcooked but not burnt and was enjoyable. 5 pieces were more than I was expecting and I'd suggest this as a shared entree rather than for one. The Tikka was fantastic, spiced well, the chicken juicy and the naan hot and fresh, with delightful little chunks of garlic among the lavish spread of butter. Would certainly be heading back!
