Aroma Indian Restaurant in Gloucester

This lovely restaurant never disappoints. The warm welcome, excellent menu choice and delicious food make it one of our favourite places to eat out. We chose to share a starter as the portions are so generous and then ordered two main dishes plus rice and naan. The food was absolutely delicious and we look forward to returning.

I had the Aroma mixed grill platter and it was excellent. Loads of meat (chicken tikka, lamb chops, garlic prawns and coated chicken). Lovely mango lassi. The staff were great too.

Restaurant was busy so service was slow. Food was average we have had better Indian food in two restaurants on London Road

Great food. love the takeaway and restaurant.

Really surprised 😇Aroma Indian restaurant with tamil people food quality is good veg and non veg

The food in this restaurant is amazing. We all tried a bit of each others, and agreed every dish was outstanding. Nice atmosphere and good service too. Especially recommended lamb malabar and chicken chettinad

Really enjoyed our visit. Extremely friendly, efficient and professional staff and service. The food was absolutely delicious. One of the nicest Indian meals we’ve had. Really reasonable price and nice ambience. Highly recommended. A nice little find on a weekend in Gloucester. Thank you 🙏

SO DISAPPOINTED, PLACED ORDER AT 7:45PM, HAVE TO CALL AT 9:15PM TO CHASE UP ORDER TO BE TOLD IT HASNT EVEN LEFT YET AND WILL BE ANOTHER 15 MINUTES. WE ALWAYS ORDER FROM NEPALESE BUT THOUGHT WE WOULD GIVE YOU A TRY, NEVER AGAIN. HAD TO CANCEL ORDER AND SOURCE FOOD FROM ELSEWHERE. NOT GOOD, DONT BLAME THE RUGBY, IF YOU KNOW THE RUGBY IS ON MAKE YOUR WAITING TIMES LONGER AND THEN WE WOULDNT HAVE ORDERED IN THE FIRST PLACE

What an amazing place. Great food, excellent service, and fantastic prices. A little gem I will definitely return to.

The food was excellent. Service spot on.

Ordered through Uber eats. Restaurant has incorrect allergy advice on the app. Spoke to restaurant to change order. Order arrived very late and everything was unlabelled...so no way of knowing what had allergens in and what didn't. Restaurant wouldn't answer the phone to explain how to work out which dishes were safe...so I couldn't eat food that I'd paid for. Shocking service! If you have allergies AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!

The food in here was so good! Chips are a bit fat but each to their own. The food was that good I tried visiting again the next night but they were closed (not complaining just sad I couldnt eat here again) went down the road to an indian restaurant that smelled like a sewer (babutchi or something). If you want some tasty curry this is the place to go, credit to the chef here 👏

Small place, really nice food, bit slow but the food was top 🤌

Great place, the lamb jalfrazie was excellent, good meat which some restaurants skimp on but not here. Recommended

The waiter was lovely and attentive but had no idea how to open a bottle of wine. We did feel sorry for him, surely that's simple waiter training. Food was lovely, would definitely go there again if ever in Gloucester.

Excellent food. Every time. I’ve been going for 5 years plus now and the food is still excellent, every time.

Very authentic indian restaurant. I have liked everything so far i have eaten here. Very much recommended.

The manager was charming, polite, and helpful. I had Kozhi Chettinad, their specialty. A spicy treat. The plates were hot and the restaurant was clean. It was our first visit but it will soon be one of many.

Staff were amazing and attentive (Prakash) nothing was to much trouble. Food and drink was good.

Lovely place. We had lunch there with the kids (could kindly order from evening menu as well). Perfectly cooked dishes and full of flavour too. Highly recommend

The service could not have been better. My son doesn't like much spice, and they made sure he was happy 😁. Our guide dog was no problem and we were very comfortable. The onion bajji was a little over done, but the main course was spot on. A thick sauce and plenty of meat. Excellent sides too 👍. Set lunch menu is very reasonable and there was 15% off the main menu at lunchtime. Thanks for a fab meal.

Ordered a takeaway following a week away from home. It arrived a little early. Onion bhaji starters were nice but didn't seem to travel so well and missed the mark for me, not as light and crispy as in the restaurant and I'd probably choose something else next time, but... the fork-tender Malabar lamb, mushroom rice with a Sag also side was something else; good portions, so tender, so full of interesting flavours, just mouthful after mouthful of Wow. Not disappointed at all. Despite the starter, it was more than overshadowed by the most excellent main/side and I will most certainly be back for more. Way head and shoulders above the curry I had whilst away. Lucky to have you guys.

this is ridiculous my delivery was very very late and I am very unhappy with the service

Really enjoyed our visit. The level of service was impeccable. We were part of a large group and everyone agreed that the food and atmosphere wes excellent. Quite a small and intimate restaurant but this just added to the atmosphere. Recommended

Family lunchtime meal here yesterday - as usual, the quality of the food was top notch and beautifully spiced. The lunchtime deal is such great value and just the right portion sizes for lunch.

Tough one. Delivery took around an 1 hr 25, but that’s maybe a good sign of a good Indian especially on a Friday night right ? When food was delivered was hot and fresh and food was really good. Maybe next time I order I’ll order an hour before I want the food to give time but overall food was of high quality.

Lunch menu with good choice, flavours are so aromatic, ample portions,staff are very friendly love this place would not eat anywhere else when visiting Gloucester

Delivered later than advised but delivery driver apologised for this and the quality of the food more than made up for it!

Best meal we've ever had in Gloucester. And best Indian meal we've had in a long time. We'll be back there in a few days. Chicken tika starter was divine. Lamb Jalfrezi was perfect...

Please don’t waste your time or money going here. Very disappointed. The mushroom rice was like uncle Ben’s boil in a bag. The saag aloo was a plate of mush, it looked like baby vomit. I was waiting for Shrek to pop out of the dish. The lamb chops had less meat than a butchers apron. I’ve also never been to a curry house that doesn’t bring out chutneys with popadoms. What’s worse is that you had to pay extra for the privilege. Maybe I’m biased because I am blessed with top quality Indian restaurants where I live, but if in Gloucester, sorry to say this is one to avoid!

Never disappointed with Aroma. Delicious food, freshly prepared, you will never meet another Indian cousin like aroma.

Wonderful everything,thank you guys.

The staff were very friendly and helpful to me when I delivered to them.

Excellent as always and the team were super helpful and friendly when I quickly realised that I had made a mistake! Great service and fantastic food everytime

Great food, very helpful with my Vegan requirements! Food was brilliant 👍

Very polite staff, amazing food, not extortionate prices and very quick service inspite of restaurant being full. Loved the experience

We had lunch with our little baby. Everything was good. The food was delicious. But the service was quite good at the beginning and at last when I ordered for takeaway they took too much time and the manager excused me that I should order before but we already ordered, his colleague forgot it. When I tried to explain that we already placed the order, the manager ignored me and acted very busy. I believe that if you cannot listen to your customer then you're poor at your service. No matter who is in front of you. Whether Indian or British. You should treat everyone equally. I felt like this as well. I spent more than 100 pounds at this place and got this kind of behavior as a return. I was angry and wanted to reply to him but my little baby was waiting outside with his daddy That's why i quietly left the restaurant.

Very good meal something a bit different very nicely done i had a jalfry spelt wrong sorry 3 chilli extra hot loads flavour

Best Indian food in Gloucester and very efficient delivery.

Had a really tasty curry as a couple here. We booked but you might not need to, but the food was fantastic. Much recommended!

Good delivery time and the food was piping hot. The food was excellent and delicious. Excellent service

The service was glacial. It took over an hour for our food to arrive (even though it wasn't that busy). The food was bland and tasted microwaved (mushy rice, stale meat). Don't bother coming here

Tasteless food with bad service, taking order of takeout when it was clearly a dine-in. Also, waitress making sexist jokes which was a surprise.

Always good lunch here .We come from Nottingham to have lunch and always good service and food .Wish we had a similar place in Nottingham as most places in Nottm dont open at lunch time . Naan breads excellent , as is rice and curries. Chiken tikka and majestic as well. Staff welcoming and manager , so will be back .

Best Indian restaurant in Gloucester

Delivered changed before food arrived

We have been to Aroma a few times, food is always excellent, very tasty, served promptly and with very friendly and attentive staff. They are always willing to accommodate even if you haven't booked a table.

Great food and good service. Well worth a visit for authentic Indian food. 😁

Great food and a place we always go to for our meals out. Good choice of curries and sides. Well priced and great service.

Highly recommended. It's nice to find an Indian restaurant offering more than just Cobra or Kingfisher, the Bombay Bicycle IPA was superb and I'd highly recommend it. The food is also superb and I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken chetinad. My wife was very complimentary on the veggie options. When the bill arrived it also seemed very good value for money.

We were given a table for five upstairs.Unfortunately it was so cold at both our original table and a substitute offered that we couldn't stay and had to leave without ordering.So no idea about the food.

Taramana sambavam. Very very nice food after so long time in UK. Vendakai kara kuzhambu was a real treat. Yummy and spicy. The entire family enjoyed the food. I don't often post reviews, but the food stood for itself. Good job chef and team!!!

I ordered a delivery and it was late so I asked the manager were my food was . I told him my kids were hungry and he said he does not care about children or his customers and was very rude to me

Hands down when I eat from here, I get an orgasm lol the food is amazing.

The actual selection of curries available are small. The curry dishes are extremely average, just a base sauce with absolutely no ingredients. I wouldn't go again.

Food was fantastic delivered on time

The only place worthy of eating out nowadays. Nothing but quality food.

Traffic problem but food was hot and good

not as good as my previous order

If you are looking for a vegetarian restaurant they have limited options . Food was good . We literally had to wait 45 minutes for our order. Atmosphere was good the vibe was good .

Had the lamb Malabar and it was absolutely amazing. The restaurant was full and the service was still great. If you are in need of a curry go here!

Amazing food. Great customer service. Favourite place for lunch.

It was very late but a thank you code for discount for future use was appreciated

Understand the wait due to traffic because of the rugby but it wasn’t very hot we had to warm it all up which is disappointing

All the items we ordered were exquisitely cooked and delicious. We eat here often.

Visit Sunday night, AMAZING! We ordered onion bhajees , lamb Malabar and chips , with a butter Nan. Bhajees amazing. Chips stunning . Lamb Malabar out of this world. The butter Nan was the best Nan we have ever tasted in 45 plus years of eating curries throughout the world including India. Nice to see a local family of five all eat at Aroma, yep everyone of them had a butter Nan.

Waited one and half hours, nearly two hours for delivery, I was starving, was quoted 30 minutes , which food ended up being stone cold and having to re-heat myself.

Excellent chef, food is superb staff attentive.

Enjoyed an excellent meal, from the poppadoms and chutneys through to the mains, was really good. It was a Saturday evening and the place was full which is always a good sign and the staff were very attentive and food was great.

Table booked for 19:00, arrived on time and seated upstairs a bit out of the way. I think they forgot about us it took 30 minutes to get a drink and 90 minutes to actually get any food. Second round of drinks took 30 minutes. Whilst the food wasn’t bad I wasn’t exactly blown away by it. Good food dreadful service. Won’t rush back.

Food ok but limited choice. Upstairs area very quiet compared to downstairs.

Great food. One of the best takeaways we've had. Easy to order and food waiting on arrival. Place was full too which is good sign

Sadly a delicious meal is spoilt by the unrealistic timings for how long it take to deliver followed by setting it as being delivered and then still it being a lot later when chased. Highly recommend the food though so collection recommended rather than rely on delivery.

Food is superb just like the service never had a bad meal from here

We visited for the first time last night as we are staying in Gloucester for a few days, our waiter Raj was friendly, helpful and attentive, food was out of this world and the best chicken tikka misala I have tasted. Highly recommend and would come here again.

This must be nicest Indian food we have had in a long time . Lovely friendly staff

Had a chicken madras very nice, great service and friendly staff. Would recommend a visit to all.

Fantastic food - mainly use home delivery and they have met their estimated time nearly every time only missing by 5 minutes when really busy. Every choice I have made I have never been disappointed far from it. Only criticism is they appear to have stopped free poppadoms and chutneys with large orders - we really miss them it was a good touch to show they appreciated our order.

Such a wonderful indian food. Very good quality. It is really original indian way of cooking. And the service is perfect in a wonderful ambiente. Thank you very much.

Fantastic food. Mainly use for home delivery and they have nearly always come within the estimated time only late on an occasion by 5 mins when really busy. Whatever I have ordered I have never been disappointed- far from it! Only criticism is we miss the free poppadoms and chutneys given for large orders - it was a nice touch and showed they appreciated our order.

Cold food, too much oil sitting on top of cold food.

Possibly the most disappointing take away I've ever had. Half a chicken turned out to be two scraggy legs and the masala source tasted as if it had a tomatoes soup base with chillies added

Called the restaurant’s number to speak to the manager and was answered by another member of staff. I told him that I wanted to speak to the manager and that it wasn’t to make a complaint or anything, the member of staff was unnecessarily hostile which at first I blamed on the call having bad signal so I assumed he was being loud and blunt in case I couldn’t hear him however when I asked when would be the best time to call to reach the manager the member of staff was getting aggressive telling me he couldn’t tell me when the manager would be available as they don’t know me? Because of his rude behaviour I asked him what his name was as I didn’t want any other member of staff to be blamed as a result of this review but obviously he refused to give me his name but stated it’s because he doesn’t feel comfortable giving his name to a stranger, his tone told me otherwise. Regardless, I was shocked at his behaviour especially if he is front of house staff because my family also own an indian restaurant and we definitely would not allow such awful behaviour especially when I didn’t say anything rude to the man and was only wanting to speak to the manager in regards to if he was interested in recruiting anymore staff!!

I think I must have reviewed this place several times in the past but just to give an update because sometimes things vary, quality changes. Very glad to report quality if anything has got even better here lunch today three of us we each had different starters different mains so we tried each other's dishes every single dish completely outstanding exceptional. One of the great things about this place you actually have to wait 10 15 20 minutes for the food to arrive after placing your order because everything is made to order this is not microwaved food it's absolutely the best. If you like spicy food hot food the lamb gel Frasier is absolutely sensational if you like it a little bit less hot but full of flavor butter chicken is fantastic. The starters, chicken tikka just moist and delicious absolutely fantastic flavor as is the prawn starter. The naan breads comes straight out of an oven really tasty succulent with oil just the best non-bread you could eat.

Well presented restaurant that has clearly had some thought go into the decorations. We were seated quickly and offered a drink in a usual amount of time. The wait to then get our food order in was a little longer than necessary, our server offered us advise on how much to order and he was definitely right. Poppadoms and the sides were lovely - poppadoms are larger than other Indian restaurants. We had the Onion Bhajis and Garlic Prawns to start - both lovely crispy dishes with the prawns being a real stand out. It took a bit of time for our plates to be cleared but our food came shortly after that. We had the Kohzi Chittinadu which was flavoursome but the chicken was definitely over cooked. Rice and Naans were tasty.

Friendly service, good curry, good beer. It was pretty full, and seemed to be a favourite of the locals, with good reason.

Very good service, and the meal was great.

Sauce too runny in tikka, only 4 pieces of chicken & no veg in birinai & all too spicy.

I haven’t received my order yet

Amazingly tasty food !Thank you guys 🤩

Food was fine but the service was chaotic. They tried to charge me for someone else's food, then came out and gave someone else's order to me, then it turns out that my collection time had been changed to 30 minutes later than what I requested. I ordered just over an hour in advance of collection and I still had to wait another 20-25 mins for my food on top of what I was expecting.

Had booked a table but was not sat down until 35 mins from arrival. Was given complimentary poppadoms which tasted like they'd been made the previous day. After several prompts food arrived 95 mins after entering the restaurant, saw several others wait the same amount of time. When food arrived my friend's Tandoori mixed grill looked like something you'd buy from Iceland, cheap and nasty. My curry was ok but nothing to write home about, definitely not in the class the reviews suggests. Experience was very poor. Never had food, service or waiting times like this in Indian Memories in Quedgley, I'll be going back there in future.

Very accomodating, a last minute ask for 16 people to have a sit in meal, and they were happy to seat us. Food was very tasty, spicey and served fairly quick.

Booked over the phone. Arrived 10 mins early, was a busy Saturday night. They said they'd get us sat down in 5 mins. We actually got to our table 30 mins later, so 20 mins after our booked time. We were given complimentary poppadoms due to the delay which tasted pretty stale like they'd been lying about for a while, nonetheless the gesture was appreciated. We then received our order of poppadoms so we were now filling up massively on extra food, which turned out to be lucky as we didn't see any other food for more than an hour. Some 95 minutes after arriving and having someone else's plates delivered to us then moved to the correct table, we advised they had 2 minutes to bring our food or we'd leave. It arrived 90 seconds later. Perhaps the enjoyment of the food was spoiled by the delays and being filled up on extra poppadoms but it really wasn't very good curry. My friend's Tandoori mixed grill looked like it had been bought from Iceland, my jalfrezi was a little too spicy for me. It really wasn't the experience we expected compared to the reviews. The drinks and poppadoms were removed from the bill without asking, this was appreciated but sadly wasn't enough to warrant changing my 2 star rating, the Memories of India in Quedgley is far better than this, surprised the ratings don't reflect that.

Over an hour and a half late, the korma was just chicken in orange water, the sagloo was brown and green mush, and the chips were just plain frozen chips, even if the order was in time it would have been a travesty

Took well over an hour and a half from order time to delivery. Food ok, had better

The food was ok. We ordered pulav rice, lemon rice and plain rice with vendakka Kara saram. The food was reasonably tasty. We didn't have raise since we reached glocested. They also served papadoms with some mint chutney and achan. Overall it's was ok and if you miss indian food you can come here and have.

Food really late. Couldn’t get through to the restaurant so left messages but no reply. Not happy would like a refund

Really tasty curry. Would definitely recommend the smoked aubergine side dish, really delicious. Friendly staff too

Arrived at 7.30pm, order was taken at 7.45pm. Waited until 8.45 and still no food. We walked out. Thanks for the drinks
