Aroma Bar & Restaurant in Middlesbrough

The service was good, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, very tasty and well presented, and reasonably priced

Waiting 1hour 30mins still no sign of any food payd bar bill camel d food absolutely diabolical service took my wife out mothers day march 19th table's complaining around us cold been sent back worst experience in restaraunt ever..😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Myself and 6 friends visited Aroma for afternoon tea. We were shown our table straight away but waited 20 minutes before our drinks order was taken, then another 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive. We pre ordered our afternoon tea and had a mixture of the three that are on the menu. 5 of us got the aroma afternoon tea and it’s without a doubt the worst one I’ve had. On the menu it states you get ‘mini sliders’, we all got one little slider each which we all had to send back as they were freezing cold. When they were brought back it was clear that they had just reheated them. The menu also says you get potato skins, we didn’t receive these. We had a very small bowl of ‘aroma fries’ between three of us. We literally had 3 chips each. They were just chips (not homemade) with a bit of cheese on top. The halloumi fries were also freezing and just greasy, we also only got one each. For the dessert it was supposed to be tiramisu and brownies bites but we didn’t get these either. We were given shop bought macarons instead. The chicken goujons were amazing! For £24.95pp we were mortified with what we received and all left hungry. I did explain to a staff member how disappointed we all were and she couldn’t apologise enough and gave us 10% off our bill. The cocktails were very nice but would have liked to have more choices of cocktails on the 2 for £12 offer. I wouldn’t recommend Aroma and I definitely won’t be returning.

After being let down by the Oven restaurant, we thought we would give Aroma a try as it is just around the corner. We were not disappointed, great Sunday lunch, we will definitely return, great price, comfortable surroundings and friendly staff.

Poor customer service. Waitress didn’t know what they were doing food was cold and poor service on the drinks. A regular customer but won’t be going again.

Went in tonight for nice meal. We called to book on but we were told to walk in. Sat us behind a big table which was fine but the restaurant wasn’t full at her moment. I work in a restaurant so I know some tables are saved for bookings. Waited 30 mins for drinks while staff looked at us knowing we weren’t happy and was taking orders for tables that came in after us, and we ended up walking out. Won’t be going again

We thoroughly enjoyed our pizza, Rissoto and chicken. Very tasty, gorgeous interior inside the restaurant. Service was swift and friendly. Thankyou we will be back :)

Firstly we came here post graduation with my little dog and it is a dog friendly establishment outside which was greatly appreciated as we didn’t think we’d be accepted. Food was average and could have had a lot more flavour, this includes the beef stroganoff and salmon and muscle pasta. Service was also a little slow considering it wasn’t overly busy inside or outside the establishment. It’s a new resteraunt so improvements could be made and it could be spectacular

We were having a night away in Middlesbrough and had never been before. Having scoured trip advisor for places to eat that were good I was struggling to be confident in any of the reviews I found as they were all a bit hit and miss. I shouldn't have worried. We were served attentively, the menu was clearly suitable for a gluten free diet that my wife needs and the food here was really good. It was a little quiet at first for a Saturday evening but we were eating quite early. I had the calamari and my wife had prawn cocktail for starters. The portions were great and the food delicious. For the main course we had the gamberoni risotto which was beautiful and very filling and the fillet strips linguini (although to be gluten free had to be penne pasta). The meat was tender and again portion size was great. We didn't check the dessert menu as we were so full but I would highly recommend the place as the food and service was really good. There is an outdoor space to sit too if it's warm and the decor inside is quite modern with more modern music playing than a traditional Italian restaurant. We loved it and would say ignore the negative comments on here. I would confidently recommend the food to anyone.

Went for father's day family of 6, we had various meals and deserts all of which were lovely, the staff were so pleasant and accommodating and it is a lovely resteraunt to sit in, we have been a few times now and always enjoyed it, we will be looking forward to our next visit

Arrived around 6.30 on Sunday evening, seated straight away, drinks order taken and delivered quickly. Food order taken within 10 minutes and again delivered in good time. Potato skins to start.. delicious!! Table of 5 we ordered 3 pizzas and a parmesan, 3 pizzas was way too much for us. Pizzas were great and of a good size. 20% off on a Sunday was a bonus! Would definitely return.

So popped into aroma with a couple of my work friends and it was my first ever time going there and tell you what the service was amazing. I got greeted by a young gentleman named shaun he made sure that we were cared for all night and looked after , there was a lovely waitress named anna and her service all night to me and my friends was amazing she did not miss a thing , the girl on the bar sent us 5 shots over and the cocktails we had of her all night where just the best and even better they where all on 2 for £12 which I believe is all day ever day . Would definitely recommend!!😁😁

Waited a while for our drinks, got our food at around the same time our drinks arrived which isn't great and the quality of the meal wasn't good either, forgot our sides until we enquired about them and my lasagne barely had any pasta, the pasta it did have was quite soggy and being a chef and restaurant manager myself I can appreciate hardships and shortages at times but they seemed to be no shortages on anything other than the quality of service.

Booked a table for 6 o’clock got there table was double booked Had to return 40 mins later to be left outside in outside entrance for 20 mins more. Jd a child with us as well Got inside waited 15 mins for a drink ‘ Waitresses havemt a clue what food thy are serving 820pm still waiting for food. Got 2 dishes brought over that were for the wrong table Was not a person I. That place that wasn’t complaining about the service and the wait. Endless to say 835pm we got up and left without food

We visited yesterday evening and the table service was shocking. We were informed shortly after arriving “service is slower because the system was down”. I totally understand these things happen but last night was a joke. My partner caught the waitresses attention 15 minutes after...

Absolutely brilliant. Great service and a free shot from the owner. Definitely worth it and will return

Great here only came in for a drink and had a meal, yeah expensive but quality no headache just nice and chilled great music and service attentive straight round to serve.

Dined here mid-week & fought it fairly average. Service wasn’t particularly friendly at first & the male manager was smoking at the front of the restaurant which didn’t look great. Everything seemed Covid safe which was good. Food was average/ good, but did arrive quickly....

Really good parmo & pizza & triple cooked chips. Very welcoming Management & pleasant & efficient waitresses. Would definitely recommend.

New restaurant in Middlesbrough! With Covid restrictions, outdoor (Alfresco) dining only at the moment! But totally recommend Service great, absolutely gorgeous food Very well priced Will certainly be returning, outdoors or in 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pizza not cooked properly dough was raw !!!

Absolutely appalling. Took ages to be delivered, was cold when it got to us and the food was not fresh. Would never order from here again!!!!

No chips I payed for or pineapple in burger and missing an apple pie

The first time I ordered from them I loved the crispy chicken it was well cooked and brilliant...but this last time it was horrible....under cooked and batter was really mushy was so very horrible. Not sure I will ever order from them again.

quick deliver great food friendly driver would use again

The food was superb and delivery very quick. I would definitely recommend and will be ordering again.

Bland tasting pizza with too much cheese. Pizza sauce didn't have much flavour and didn't taste like proper pizza sauce.

Food taste horrible and they forgot my bottle coke took the piss took ages to come

thought i'd give this place a try, had a meat feast panini, best i've had in a long time. will 100% order from here again.

Not bad, kebap was ok, nice fries but pizza is typical cheap full of chees, not much tasty of pizza. Delivery was about an hour as expected, frendly driver.
