Aroma of India (sri sai) in Northampton

My recent dining experience at this restaurant was very disappointing, the waiters rudeness left me feeling unwelcome, and to make matters worse the food was served cold. This combination of poor service and food quality made it the worst dining experience I’ve ever had.

Worst curry house i have ever eaten in, service was very slow it wasnt particularly busy the night we went. Unbothered staff with hands in their pockets and a very strong aroma of cannabis coming from one of the young waiters. When raised with the owner he was very arrogant and defensive. Someone who can't take criticism very well. Food was lukewarm and bland. Avoid at all costs!

The only decent Indian restaurant in Northampton. Their chicken Manchurian and fried rice is good. I hope it was halal so my friends can also try.

What a food! And what an ambience! We really love the food here. And being a regular foodoholic, I can say it's the best in town. Authentic Indian food, with great ambience and quality.

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant on 04/09/2023. We arrived around 21:15, and the place was quite busy with a birthday party and many other customers. We ordered chicken and egg noodles, half chili chicken, and a plain naan. It took about 20 minutes for the food to arrive, which was reasonable. However, what happened next completely ruined our evening. As we started eating, one of the staff members kept staring at our table every time he walked by. It was uncomfortable and felt intrusive. Suddenly, he approached us and said that the chili chicken he served was a full portion, even though we had ordered only half. Without any proper explanation or apology, he proceeded to serve two pieces of chicken onto one of our plates and then took the rest away. We didn’t argue with him, but we felt insulted and harassed. This was not our mistake, yet we were treated disrespectfully. To make matters worse, while we were still eating, they turned off the lights, which felt like a clear signal for us to leave. It was rude and completely uncalled for. While the food was decent, the service was absolutely horrible. I would not recommend this place based on my experience. The staff's behavior was unprofessional, and they completely spoiled our mood. Very, very disappointing.

Excellent test real test of India

We thought we fancied a cheeky curry Thursday 22nd Aug so popped in to the Aroma Of India.We were greeted by a lovely chap who showed us to our table .Service was great all staff friendly and smiling .Now the food..........what a choice ! we weren't rushed at all portions were generous and very tasty ......a great place on Kingsley Terrace Northampton look out for the statue standing at the front door .This place is well worth a try and very reasonable prices too !!!!

shezuan lamb chops bit tough but the rest was perfect

Tried it for the first time and completely blown away by the quality and the wonderful taste. Have been looking for an authentic indian/pakistani place with a true desi flavour instead of the normal bland ones that are available everywhere and I think I have finally found the place . 10/10

Can you add one more item in your indochinese menu card that is triple sezwan fried rice

Beautiful food, friendly staff, music not overpowering, clean and an immediate service

Extremely disappointed with the meal. The chicken Madras was swimming in Ghee/Oil. The Onion Salad was a sliced large onion with a couple of Chilis and lemon slice. Don’t like to leave a negative review but will not order again.

Excellent really enjoyed all three dishes

Had a fantastic curry whilst staying in Northampton for the formula 1. The chicken dansak was one of the best I have ever had.

Dear [Aroma of India] Team, I had an exceptional dining experience at your restaurant. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff were attentive and courteous. The food was outstanding, especially the [punjabi chicken curry], which was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Your dedication to culinary excellence truly shines through. I will definitely recommend your restaurant to others and look forward to returning soon.

There food is good but staff behaviour is so rude. Their serving system is too bad aswell. They was late to serving food but they didn’t apologies. Their behaviour hurts me💔

I always ordered from you but this time taste was different.

Delicious hot food always the best 😋

Aroma of India hasn't disappointed us and my mum's fav - Chicken Lollipops - she will only enjoys it from the Chef at Aroma... Thank you for always cooking yummy food & never let go the quality of food . Awesome as always

The best authentic Indian food we have all eaten in a very long time. We randomly decided to eat at this restaurant and none of us were disappointed. Really lovely food and great prices. We even took our uneaten food home.

Don’t trust that rating of this restaurant it’s totally waste of money …I ordered some food for my guests that was everybody have stomach upsets today my guests was soo disappointed I never order from this restaurant anywhere….taste was also soo bad…I throw it in to the bin it’s waste of money…..

Excellent Indian restaurant felt really welcoming and the management was great and helped with dish that wasn't right perfect flavour and hidden gem reasonable prices too great restaurant

Taste of food I feel like just ok..

Expansive menu with lots of options. Customer service was great, the waiter helped pick the best options for those not familiar with Indian food and gave great advice. The food was served rather quickly and was delicious. They even provided hot hand towels and mints at the end.

Food was very poor standard very disappointing madras was bland & watery without flavour no chillies used rice was greasy overall would not recommend

This is not a punjabi indian restaurant. We went in as they have a statue of a sikh man outside and we thought this is a proper punjabi place. The paneer tikka was horrible made in mustard oil and presentation was awful. The chicken tikka main had bright red watery sauce like jelly. Naan was cut up like pizza slices. The service was good, waitresses polite and helpful.

Excellent restaurant felt really welcome great service and very reasonably priced will definitely be returning 😀

Excellent test test of India Every masala test is different not same and owesom

Great service and quality, friendly staff, good value for money , would recommend to anyone. Ajwaini fish tikka was outstanding. !

My new go to restaurant for a curry, exceptional flavour.

Excellent then other Bangladeshi restaurants

Really testy food chefs are owosom Always happy with this restaurant’s food

Lovely people, amazing food, cannot fault in any way at all. Will definitely be returning. There king prawn jalfrezi was outstanding

I am sorry, but the lamb was inedible. The meat so tough it was impossible to chew

Flavors were excellent service was personal. Would come back again and again

Really nice tasty food, everything seemed freshly cooked and full of flavour, will definitely order again. Thank you

This was our go to restaurant but our recent experience was really bad, their staff service was very poor, wouldn’t recommend

We went to the Sunday Buffet and it was delicious, as always. The staff are so nice too.

Great flavours for all servings. However very disappointed with starters only because there were no salads with it! Why when you get salad with the starters when you eat in!!

Love their food. Haven't disappointed, Yet and hope it stays this way

Disappointed - not a great taste

Very tasty Chilly Chicken and Chicken Lollypops, greatly recommeded

Many takeaways from this lovely enchanting place huge fan of their chicken dishes, freshly made it's always a great local treat 🍽️

food cold, poor quality big order and not even any free poppadoms!

Tasty food , only thing we were not happy about is this was the second time we have ordered from here and both times the rice , plain & pilau was only just warm

Absolutely delicious, as always!

Food delivered early, but that was fine... better early than late. However, the food was not great... it wasn't hot and the quality was not great this time. I normally rate this restaurant higher, as food has previously been pretty good. Very disappointed on this occasion.

Best ever food i have ever had in UK in last 3 years❤️!!!!!! Thank you Aroma of india🙏

One of the best restaurants in Northampton. Great vegetarian and meat dishes Very good Service. Be visiting again soon

Very tasteless & watery , would not recommend

Value for money and good food would go here again definitely a place to be visiting if you’re looking for some food at good value for money

Great food. The best Goan Fish Curry and authentic street style samosas.

Nice looking place food is average, service is average, atmosphere slightly better then average but potential is there to improve.

Customer service is unbelievable the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to in Northampton. The food is exceptional and don't just offer the normal Indian menu they have a wide choice to choose from. Keep up the great work and I'll see you again soon

Good desi food,helpful staff and spacious

Good food quality, just 10 mins late and missing items which needed a phone call and another delivery to correct

Food was cold when arrived had to put in microwave to warm up apart from that food.was nice and tasty

Delivered was said to be 35-50 mins and I waited well over an hour and half

Thus is probably the best place for indian food in northampton food always perfect. Service excellent.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Good lunch offer on Sunday when open.

They always deliver in good time and the food is superb quality. The garden salad is full of salad items and the tandoori chicken starter is excellent.

Amazing food, always delicious 😋

Dinning in ok but delivery food is not something of Indian taste..gravy is often less spicy but this time it was sweet even chutney served with paneer Tikka was also sweet. Restaurant should provide a customisation option so that we can choose the spice level. Now if I talk about a particular dish, "Kadahi paneer" did not have a single dice piece of capsicum on delivery however when I was dinning it was good.

Absolutely brilliant banquet dinner 🍽 amazing service & authentic Indian cuisine restaurant atmosphere absolutely lovely " definitely worth a visit if you are anywhere near Northampton. Thanks so much to management & staff for a lovely dinner 🍽 😋

It was really nice, but I felt the portion size was small

Sorry, Paneer shahi was sugary!

I have visited this place few times but never got chance to write review. Everytime I visit this, it amazes me it's taste. I haven't finished trying their all of the dishes but some of them are my all time favourite e.g. tikka starters, vegetable fried rice with spring onion is really awesome. Other include Manchurian, Chinese noodles, and chicken lollipop. Few items like jeer fried rice quantity is low. Overall vegetarian items quantity is a bit low than non-vegetarian. Recently I celebrated my wife's birthday here and our guests were very happy with the food.

One of the best Indian meals I have had in Northampton, keep up the good work chaps

Thought I would treat myself to a curry and was not disappointed. Starters and mains were delicious, service was great and staff could not do enough.i will definitely ea here again.

Large shards of bone in Lamb Sag

Wonderful food delivered in excellent time. Will definitely order from here again

Good Tasty food was served, more options for North Indians. masala tea was very tasty.

No delivery. Where is our food

Love this restaurant. Amazing food

Been here quite a few times, food is very good but the service is not acceptable Last couple of times we have been they have tried to overcharge us and put someone else’s bill onto our order, I always have to check the bill over and get them to recalculate it. This is not on, I know times are hard but we shouldn’t have to double check a bill when we come to pay.

Amazing taste! One of the best in town. Keep it up guys!

The food was good but the service is pathetic.The manager was wandering and he is not listening us. The waitress done her work nicely but the manager attitude was disappointing.

Definitely one of the best in town. Tandoori stuffed mushrooms, Punjabi chicken and biryani all delicious!

Food is ok. Taste is good but seems they keep the spice level low for non Indian customers.

Had a really wonderful meal, my main course wasn’t even on the menu, but was made to order, very reasonably priced, we will be back soon and will bring the family- thank you for a lovely evening

It was cold. Could reheat the rest but wouldn't reheat prawn biryiani Naan was overcooked and cold.

Excellent service. Food was great and testy

Felt like eating in India after a long time. Great food

Easy to reserve a table online. Lovely atmosphere and great service. The food was really and very reasonable prices. Definitely recommended.

What a lovely place to eat ! We found this place by accident a month ago and have been back 3x .Food is lovely, service is fantastic and the price is very reasonable .The man who showed us to our seats was really nice and the serving staff couldn't of beed nicer .Would recommend this restaurant plenty of space around your table and lots of Indian families see to use it which in my opinion is a very good sign !

Being a connoisseur when it comes to Indian food, I can quote confidently that this is a proper authentic Indian restaurant offering some really special ethnic options. The owner Arvind has taken special care to ensure he gives the customers the real feel of the popular Indian cuisine which means the quality standards are very high. Their Indo-chinese is a delicacy not to be missed. If you are based in Northampton and around, this is the place to definitely visit!

Arguably the best authentic Indian Restaurent in Northampton. Absolute divine North Indian dishes. Brilliant service and even more amazing food. Delicious Authentic Original

Enjoyed a very pleasant Indian meal here, spicy, tasty and good portions. As well as an extensive menu, there are plenty of vegetarian starter and mains options, and a welcoming atmosphere. There has been an Indian restaurant on this site before under various names which I attended a few times but "Aroma of India" looks like it is under new management and I found a lot better. Noticed a number of Indian folk eating here which must be a good sign regarding authenticity of the cuisine. Prices reasonable as well, so will be back again very soon.

Fantastic food! The best samosa chaat I’ve had since leaving Leeds! The main was so tasty and so much of it! Will definitely be ordering from here again!

Best Indian i have had in Northampton since leaving London , Fantastic ...

Nice place to visit with friends and family. Food was amazing.

I ordered food for collection: Arom’a’s special chicken Chilli Paneer X2 The main (Aroma’s special chicken) it was so sweet even though they call it spicy, plus the worst part is they put (tandoori chicken) in the curry. The same chicken- piece they use for starters. WOW. It’s like chicken tikka in tomato puree. If you are looking for Indian food please don’t get fooled. Paneer tikka was exactly 3/4 pieces of paneers in a portion - we ordered two portion and still not enough for a person. Too sweet again. I would not recommend a visit as the food is too sweet and doesn’t serve right. Portion is too small. Definitely not the Indian food cheff.

Came to this eatery based on the reviews and safe to say that this is a GEM of a place in Northampton. The service is outstanding with the staff and owner being so attentive and the venue is pleasant and clean. The food is AMAZING and certainly the best we have had in the town for Authentic Indian food. All starters were superb (Paneer Tikka, Veg Manchurian, Chilli Paneer, Chicken Seekh) and the Hyderbadi Fish starter is a MUST, never had anything like that before and you can see why its a best seller. We tried the Saag Chicken and Egg Biryani also which were both superbly spiced and made and generous portions too. The naans and rotis are super too. Look forward to going back again! Congrats the to the team there, job well done.

The food was very tasty and got authentic taste like india and i loved the surrounding there also their service is 10/10 I really loved the vibe in there recently they even did a new renovation perfect for a pictures and party Thank you aroma of india

Food taste was horrible and when I called them that food is really unhealthy and not tasty even unable to eat then they said will talk to manager and will be call u back but I'd did not receive any call

Awesome taste! Thanks and keep it up!

Very nice test service excellent Nice food quality

Ordered two chicken dishes for delivery. Both were inedible. Would give zero stars if I could. Won’t bother ordering from there again.

Excellent food and even better service… Arvind ji you rock
