Aroma Asian Restaurant in Burnley

Went late afternoon yesterday for a meet up with one of the management team at Diligent Lettings Ltd & we were both impressed with the friendly unobtrusive service & great tasting food too - the Onion Bhajis were awesome as was the Lamb Rogan Josh. Highly recommended ! Thanks a lot!

The food at this place was utter bland and nowhere near what we thought we were ordering! We asked one of the waiters about a dish on the menu, to which he had no clue about and said he would call someone to answer our questions, but nobody came.We then had a waiter come to take our order who looked like he was still in school or just left school and we asked about the garlic chapati and whether the garlic was in the dough or how it was made. The waiter told us with confidence that the garlic was made into the dough. When the chapati arrived, it had a very strong garlic paste just smothered all over and NOT in the dough. We were very disappointed!The starters we ordered (the mix grill) had lamb chops that had seen better days as they were very chewy and tough to tear apart. The chicken tikka was dry, bland and not marinated well. I could taste the rawness of the chicken still and it made me feel very sick. The only thing I managed to eat from it was the kebabs. It was definitely not worth £12-13 for the utter disappointment!The main we ordered was a cardamon chicken curry and we asked for it to be made in the Asian style so quite spicy and it was another failure added to the others we just had. There was zero signs of any cardamom in there, we couldn't see nor taste any. They had drizzled some chilli sauce/ketchup under the curry to try and represent the added spice flavour but they may aswell have not bothered as that added nothing to the dish.Once we had finished and we didn't finish our plates, we raised these concerns to a senior waiter, who only apologised and said he would raise it to the head chef. We were hoping for some kind of empathy and for them to understand us. We asked if we could have some discount maybe, as paying £30-35 for that meal didn't seem worth it at all. We got told that was impossible for them to do.We regretted not going over the road to Shimlas and we quickly understood why shinlas was extremely busy that night but aroma wasn't. It's all in the food and service, which was not up to scratch here!

most of the food was very nice, great service, great place and prices not bad but portions were pretty small and the chicken korma tasted like it had ready brek in it, also drinks wernt too great

Absolutely the best restaurant in Burnley. The food is amazing

Great family meal. Delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Absolutely supreme food, visited whilst stopping over in Burnley with work. I’ve never tasted better having been frequenting Indian restaurants for about 43 years and countless hundreds of meals all over Britain this is the best, I had a signature chicken dish the Jal Murgh Lassandar so tasty with khas pilau rice superb. I normally have poppadoms and skip a starter unless extremely hungry otherwise you end up leaving good food unfinished. Only wish I had someone to share the experience with. However I shall make a point of visiting again and for leisure this time , maybe stop nearby in the camper van or a hotel with my wife. We live about 120 miles away but It’s that good, definitely worth the trip👍🏻

I'm not much of a Lover of hot currys, anyway my boyfriend Love hot hot curry, we said would give Aroma Asian Restaurant a try, first time & was rated 5 for Hygiene. We got it to tack out. Wow i have never had a curry as amazing as that before mild to med, Chicken so nice, boyfriend as chicken Jalfaze said was the best. Will be going again soon as not from that area but will dine in this time.

Fabulous food here on Monday night. The service was excellent, and there were empty plates left at the end. Two very picky eaters had what can only be described as delicious curries. I can highly recommend this place, the owner is a very friendly gentleman, who will come and talk to you. Nothing is too much trouble. The chef handles spices very well, and there is none of the swimming in grease sauces here, only a delight to your taste buds. Excellent food, excellent quality, excellent service. 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍

Really enjoyed the food here. Didn't appreciate one of the members soliciting me for the photos I took (continuously asking for more). I will attend again as the food was exceptional

Was o.k the starter was garlic chicken!! But it was only a few strips, very disappointed. The garlic bread was very small as was the rice potion. The main was o.k. Good service, but would have preferred a more traditional setting to eat.
