I visited aroma craving for indian food and wasnt dissapointed. The prices of all the dishes are reasonable and the quality of food is equally good. Chole bhature was the best among all the dishes we tried. Overall it was a good restuarant if you stay in the castro valley area. Only thing i disliked was the waiter who seemed to be very rude.

Went for valentine dinner. It was small place and limited place to sit. Food was okay not as expected. Shortage of staffs, just one guy handling everything, cashier, hosting, taking order and brings food too. Such multi tasking made him for to which and what table the order is. Was disappointed with them.

I love good Indian food, and I think this is about the best I have ever tasted. The amount of chicken was more than adequate and seemed like good quality, was well cooked and had great flavor. Same goes for everything that accompanied the main dish, including the naan. Finished off by delicious mango lassi to wash everything down, it was a great night. I will certainly visit this place again.

Food is excellent!! Nan bread is made fresh after you are seated. It is so fluffy. It is not oily at all. I can eat 1 entire basket by myself, but I try to resist the urge;) The servers r very nice, professional and observant. They fill your water glasses, bring baby chairs if needed and clear off plates from your table. The decor is nice, clean and cozy. I came for lunch and had the buffet. Their pakora french fries were better than any fries I’ve ever tasted. Crunchy, not oily on the outside and soft on the inside. Wow!! Was soooooo delicious!!! Had to go back several times… Plus, the mango pudding was great too! It has a nice vanilla and cardamom flavor profile. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Castro Valley. A MUST place to try. Plus, it won’t break your bankbook. Lunch buffet was approximately $11 per person.

We LOVE this place. The food is great and staff are nice. Staff are nearby but far enough where they give you privacy. The owner (lady) are super nice!! I hope they survive and stay open for a long time.

I honestly didn’t expect much from this place. It is small and very hard to notice. Although….

Harabhara naan was awesome and blended with some good flavours. Paneer tikka was made with tomato gravy which has given tangy taste but no flavours in curry. It was without any spices. No flavour at all except raw taste. Samosa is even tasteless. Good thing is paneer was fresh and green chutney was amazing.

I really miss the buffet and the staff three years ago. They used to interact more with customers before. Now it’s more like a fast food service.

My husband and I enjoyed this mornings visit to Aroma. I would recommend the lamb Masala. Lamb was tender. Sauce is great. The window seat was nice and the service was excellent. They are classy and clean.
