Aroma Shawarma in Leicester

Very disappointed as ordered Shawarma but out of lamb so instead had chicken. Ran out of salad Very disappointed

I have tried the sandwichs from there and all I can say is that it was the most horrible sandwich I ever seen in my life. It is full of red onion!! I ordered falafel it’s full of onion and grilled halloumi cheese it’s three pieces of cheese and the remaining onion also the chicken Sharma it was just a bread and red onion!!!!! Me and my family got food poisoning!! Non-stop diarrhoea for long day!!!!!! I don’t recommended at all

The soup was lovely but the sigara börek was the worst Iv tasted.

This is my family and I's favourite quick place to go and eat Kurdish food. The meats are all very tasty. Although sometimes on the odd occasion the the shawarma/wraps have been a bit too salty. The cooks are friendly as are the servers. They are accommodating and nothing is everr too much for them. They have sit in booths as well as normal tables. Reasonably priced.

The food was cold on delivery and not great quality wouldn’t order again

Delicious. Probably the best lamp chop in Leicester.

Very unfriendly staff , food was ok but not what I was expecting , the only waitress that was nice was a guy with glasses the lady with the scarf was very rude and didn’t give us not even a small smile

Finding a really good shawarma place can be challenging - several are just ok, but Aroma is definitely one of the top tier choices. They have a broad menu, and the service is very pleasant and fast. The simple chicken shawarma wrap was one of the best I've had. Highly recommended!

THIS IS THE WORST PLACE TO EAT EVER. Me AND MY FRIEND WENT TO THIS PLACE YESTERDAY AND THE SHARAMA WAS DISGUSTING. NASTY RAW FOOD AND COLD. WE BARELY TOUCHED OUR PLATE. THE WAITRESS PICKS HER TEETH SERVES YOU THE FOOD

Great freshly cooked food, good value, great service, with friendly staff

Absolutely shocking service, forget all about you once when they have your money. Waited for 45 mins for cold naan and half portion of salad - avoid like the plague much better places in Leicester

Very professional and polite and friendly

Wonderful service from Jen at aroma , 10 out of 10 service with a smile 😊 Very attentive and polite . I recommend the food here it’s very tasty and cooked well in a open kitchen . Try the lentil soup and meat on skewer with bulgar rice , everything is amazing here and great service . Thank you 😊

Really good food, charcol kebabs superb and very tasty sadly missing the complimentary lentil soup that used to be the norm

Must eat here, food is prepared in front of you, meal sizes are huge, very welcoming, I'm going back for sure, also very very clean 👌 👍 well done guys

Fresh and tasty food. Friendly service. Recommended

Very nice dishes, fresh food,staff friendly.

Stale food given chicken quzi reheated can tell multiple times disappointed inedible like cardboard consistency.

A very beautiful restaurant, great food, quiet place, and elegant treatment. I recommend visiting this restaurant.

Authentic Turkish food, great place to go with family and friends.

Great staff, great food ! Best lentil soup EVER

This was in Ramadan. I ordered a chicken quzi and usually it is great but it was near Iftar time as we wanted it fresh and collected. Chicken was stale reheated dry few days old how dare they do this especially Ramadan!! Awful never again !!

Went to this place and got the chicken wrap. The chicken in the wrap was pretty much raw and the wrap was tasteless. Would not recommend unless you are willing to risk your life for a mediocre wrap.

Rip off and i think chicken was old never again.

My friend got me a takeaway from this place the food was absolutely disgusting lamb chop and kebab. The lamb chop was smelled so bad

I went there tonight to dine with my friends. Was very disappointed in the service, price and food. Waited 2 hours to get my food which they got wrong and I ended up getting a takeaway which costed me £78. Would never go back again!! They are rip off

That is good!!😋😋😋😋😋 I liked it

Nice staff, delicious food, good portions, not expensive.

Good customer service and finger liking food can't go wrong everyone

I have been this place really very bad service not good at all and very expensive especially customer service 0 not showing respect for customer بةراستي حيك ريزيكيان نية بة موشتةري زور زور خرابن هاودارم خوتان باش كهن عفرتيكي ليية زور زور روي خرابة لةلغهل موشتةري

Customer service, zero No respect at all 👎 Zor be rzen la service au xanma la service la shwnke halya😔

Food was tasty. Average service. Located in a busy, unattractive place in town

My favourite for lintle soup and lamb kofta

The chicken shish was pink in the middle!

Disappointed with the reception following poor management. My wife had to wait 20 minutes standing, when I finally got a table he set us up and two chairs were missing even though there were 7 of us. The starters that they offered at the beginning were not given but were given to neighboring tables. Finally, the cook was aggressive when we explained our dissatisfaction. Disappointed no longer recommend.

First impressions are good. Interior is nice and staff are polite and friendly. The food however is below average and a big let down! They ran out of lamb shawarma which I was not told so I was just given extra chicken shawarma on my platter instead. I was only told this once I questioned why I had no lamb shawarma. The ribs were extremely chewy and fatty not edible what so ever. And worst of all the chicken shish was undercooked. I had stomach ache after eating here and I will never return to this restaurant again!

gave me only rice no shawarma inside. ridiculous

My order did not arrive. The driver took a photo of another place and showed it as delivered. I never received my order. I called the store and they were no help.

Good food and service. A wide selection to choose from. Been a few times.

Good food & service. They are welcoming. Nice selection on the menu. Have a range of options to choose from. Came here a few times and enjoyed food and service.

Nice looking place, good atmosphere. I was impressed with the fact they serve charcoal grill. Friendly staff. What I was not impressed with was the fact I have paid 22 pounds for three skewers and asked to have the food as eating in, I have waited for 10 minutes at a table to be asked to pick up my bagged food. So no eat in option? What are the tables for then? Maybe the staff just assumed it will be a take away? Secondly, where is all the food I paid for? Surely not in the boxes I was unpacking. One box containing one naan bread and 4 small chunks of meat. One other box containing 6 chunks of ribs. It felt like a rip off. Pack the food, give it to the person and surely they are not going to come back complaining that there is food missing. I will definitely go back there. Just to give them a piece of mind. Someone please explain how is it possible that three skewers have 6 pieces of meat each and after grilling these 18 pieces transform into smaller 10 pieces. I read a review... smaller portions/bigger sizes. Your average UK food experience. Pay the money, get ripped off, write a google review. Nobody cares.

our past 2 orders from this establishment have been way below standard. Not only did they get the order wrong but it is sub standard & they only offer a collection to rectify which is not acceptable. The most recent order was not fit for human consumption. The fact that not only was the food burnt but also looked like something you wouldn't even feed an animal. I don't understand how a restaurant can have such high sit in service yet low delivery standards.

Order was incorrect and tepid. Restaurant make Mistake on delivery order then expect you to collect from Restaurant which is not acceptable. Just eat refunded worst item

The food was great and the people were very friendly and they would come to us and ask us if we needed anything every 10 minutes. This is a great place to eat food, the food is soo delicious that its beyond description. The food is fresh and you can taste all those flavours. The food is better than fast food restaurants, the food is healthier and fresh. - Kon

Always really good. And greeted by friendly staff every single visit

Aroma used to be amazing these days like all good places they gitbgreedy food service everything has gone down hill the lamb cozy was not nice even the lentil soup I did not enjoy it was cold they are very stingy with the portions and the toilets are filthy .

Was not amazing it was okay, customer service was really good but perhaps turkish shawarma is not for me I'm not too sure just lacked spice and flavour to me but was okay

They serve good shawarma, but I have some comments. The original shawarma should have pickles in the sandwich, garlic sauce (not mayonnaise garlic), and the bread must be flat saj bread not naan. However the chicken taste is good 😅 The restaurant is clean, and everything is organized in the plates. the falafel is not falefel at all 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

📛📛We no longer take our custom here. A once thriving family restaurant is now done for. Gordon ramsey is needed. keeps getting worse. Smaller portions higher prices. Staff are ok🙄

Had to bad experiences here food was undercooked on fish, theu need to slow down and stop rushing I prefer bodrum better

Didn’t get the sauces we asked for, food had leaked everywhere. Wrap had hardly any meat and wasn’t even wrapped properly

A warm welcome and all the staff are friendly and acknowledge you with a smile. Excellent service, the food is lovely and fresh and the menu has something for everyone. We called here pre gig and when we are in Leicester again it will definitely be our first stop, highly recommend.💜

Terrible and repulsive experience. The service was terrible: the waiters served us the wrong version of what we ordered, they wore dirty aprons, and to make matters worse, the waiters touched the food with their bare hands; one of the older waitresses (who was also surprisingly rude) licked her fingers and proceeded to touch the food itself on the plates and she even "played" with it, repeatedly running one finger along the rim of the plate, which was filled food. The food was also surprisingly bland; other locations serve the same food yet it tastes better - and no one touches it. The climate was nothing that noteworthy. We and our friends will never go there again. I advise you to keep going if you see this place.

I didn’t get my chips and the chicken and lamb shawarma was missing

Did not like tge food it was too bland no flavour

very good delivery man in time thank you

I ordered for the first and last time from this place. I absolutely do not recommend it. The salad and meat were old and not fresh. I felt terrible for half the day with a stomach ache.

My friend and I decided to have dinner at this restaurant. We paid £46 pound for 2 peoples The food was not good at all it was very oily, the meat and chicken were dry, it has nothing to do with Turkish food!!!! it is very expensive and the food is very bad I think it is a restaurant not to be visited do not waste your money it is a restaurant I will never go to again Aroma !!!!

You must be absolutely mad to order from this place and I am very surprised they are allowed to sell food! My food was stone cold, hummus was sour out of date and my lamb kebab looked like dog food and was completely not edible

Sigara Boreg absolutely burned😞

Great food and huge portions at reasonable prices. Definitely one of Leicesters hidden gems.

Excellent service,food and atmosphere

Best place for Turkish food in Leicester. Never knew Turkish food taste almost like Nigerian food. I loooooved it

Visited on a Saturday before attending the theatre. Absolutely delicious food. One of the best Turkish meals we’ve had. Chicken skewers were succulent and tasty. Homemade lemonade was also tasty. Quick service and highly recommend.

Missing salad and naan was cold lame qozi have fish smell really disappointed

the wraps were all soggy and falling apart, it did not look like a shawarma wrap at all.. didn’t taste good at all nor freshly made.. even the falafel had to throw everything , the chips were stale, very disappointed :((

The calamari was not calamari it was Korean rice cakes (tteokbokki) I took the butter off from it to separate the 2 it didn’t look like it was calamari didn’t taste like it. It looked more of tteokbokki fried in butter. Food overall was bad and it not worth the money I paid. Will definitely not order again.

Top tier food and service, ordered a simple chicken shawarma with chips and naan and the food came within 5 minutes. Olives and garlic dip came on the house.

First time trying this place. Food was amazing, highly recommend the mushrooms in garlic cream sauce.

Nice food and fresh Fast delivery Thanks

the sauce from okra meal was leaking into the other meals

The food was good, but there were a missing item I ordered sigara boreg but didn’t receive it, wasn’t happy about it

Not happy with food quality not flavour in food over priced for the standard of food. Would like a refund

We went today 12 friends it was fantastic food 😋 😍 😊 thank you and the staff was very nice and polite, it was great day out ,

Never dissapointing!! Great meal. Great service Great value So very pleased we have found this place.

Aroma Sharma used to be good, but not anymore. The staff are rude, unprofessional, and lack customer service skills. I left the restaurant and went to another one today not because they did not accept to replace Adana kebap with the Lamp kebap, but because of the way we were treated, it was simply we do not care just go the door is there. You might have customers now but in the long term, you will lose them gradually.

Great restaurant, Taste of food is amazing, platter is very good option, Staff is good, In Weekend it is too busy so you may find bad service. Best for family. If you need to use washroom than it may be disaster.

Exellent restaurant! Their hospitality is remarkable and food is delicious 👍🏼👍🏼❤️

Really nice meat platters here. When the platter comes hot, the meats and the chicken are all fab. The kebab has a good meat/fat mix for flavor n melts in your mouth. The lamb ribs are great The chicken is moist and not dried out like other places Both shawarmas are flavorful Nice fresh bread. Nice start lentil soup too. Overall great food and great service. Prices have been raised recently though.

Just came back from a lunch time visit and was very impressed! Food was excellent - so tasty and fresh and the staff were very friendly & helpful. Very reasonably priced too! Will definitely be going back. Thanks all

Friendly staff and greeted to sit down. A few complimentary nibbles and soup brought to the table which was very tasty! This will definitely be my new local treat on my lunch breaks. Amazing!

We got the grape leaves, chicken and meat shawarma wrap. They started by serving lentil soup that was delicious. They most probably served canned stuffed grape leaves that were not good. The shawarma wraps were fine. Edit: I went back another time for the lentil soup and my husband couldn’t resist the smell of the grilled meats. We ordered mixed grill platter, lentil soup and hummus. The staff were incredibly nice despite us coming close to their closing time and the mixed grill was really good and juicy. I wouldn’t advise eating their shawarma but definitely worth going for the grilled foods and lentil soup

Nice food and very helpful staff

Great food. Will be visiting again soon

Delicious food, very nice pleace and friendly staff.

The special meal for 2 at £26 (time of review) was well worth the money! We couldn't finish it and took it home for the day after and it tasted just as good if not better. All the meat items were spiced perfectly and flavourful with every bite. The rice/couscous combo was the same (I've had blander versions at other places). Staff were wonderful and checked on us to make sure everything was ok from time to time and in general were very welcoming. Only criticism I'd have is that the place was a little cold (it was a wintery night) so i think in the summer it'd probably be a lot better.

Perfect place to come out for a meal with a family, always tasty lentil soup and shish meats of your choice.

Fantastic restaurant. Food is divine. Staff amazing.

We have been coming here as a family for many years and always have recieved excellent service and food. However our last visit was disappointing to say the least. The older gentleman, who I believe to be the manager didn't know what he was doing and is extremely rude. He was shouting at the a waitress in the middle of the restaurant. Which made us feel very uncomfortable, as a mother with a teenage daughter it was disgusting to see how he was treating a young girl. When I asked one of the other waitresses if we could order she told me she wasn't allowed to take the order and we had to wait. We waited for 20 minutes to even order our food. What is the purpose of having a waitress at the restaurant if she cannot take orders. Other then the above the food was amazing as per usual, no complaints there. We asked the manager for ketchup and his reaction was that he didn't want to get it even though he did bring us the sauce. After that he kept coming over to our table which made us uncomfortable again. We just wanted to finish our food and leave as soon as possible and this ruined the experience for me and my husband. My advice would be get the staff in order. We are willing to come again as the food is worth it and that is the only reason why I gave 2 stars.

Amazing food and outstanding service from Melody, and Kerouan (sp?) the manager. Ordered chicken qozi, lamb qozi, complimentary soup for starters, haloumi (the best we have ever had). Staff all seemed happy. Clean place. Not far from primark in town. Will return soon to try all the other food. Extensive menu. Well done guys. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Leicester Town.

It was a very bad experience. Food arrived cold. We ordered kebabs and were surprised. It was scattered as shown in the picture. There was kebab, salad and potato fingers in the plate. The potatoes and kebabs were all wet from the salad water. What a bad and miserable experience. I hope the restaurateur sees these mistakes and corrects them, the salad is supposed to be a side dish, they can't be together. Finally, we were surprised by a little hair in the food🤮🤧

We went there few days ago with my friends, it was the first time I tried Turkish food and I enjoyed it but the manager was very unprofessional and he kept coming to our table which made us so uncomfortable and I think he needs to improve his English and update his knowledge . glasses were dirty and I had to ask to change them twice. The rest of the staffs were so friendly and nice.I would give 5 star if the manager stopped bothering us.

Food is just okay, nothing special. New menu gotta pay more for less food.

Friendly staff. Huge and tasty food portions

They bring burnt food to the table and when you ask them why they have burnt it, they have no answer. It's too burnt to eat and they said we can't replace it because it is too expensive to replace.

Ring up to ensure order is possible , told yes we have shawarma only to get there and find its now not available.. no shawarma , but its in your name 🤔

Excellent food, and brilliant service with a smile.

Very nice place & tasty food. Especially lentil soup x

Fantastic food and great service

Nice restaurant. Ideal for friends and family. Great variety of meats.
