Beautiful decor, lovely vibe, amazing food and mocktails and prices are incredibly cheap but unfortunately, the service is incredibly slow. Unless you are having Shisha, you are ignored! No table service, you have to go to the counter and order which makes no sense considering how beautiful the place looks. My friend ordered 2 drinks and we waited 20 mins for them to arrive. I also think they need to separate people doing shisha and people just having food otherwise you are surrounded by smoke and Shisha blowing all other your face and food. Maybe have a separate lounge for only shisha. This place only do mocktails and not alcoholic cocktails which we were not aware. Only nice for a few “instagramable” pictures and a tiktok review but other than that, nothing special.

Absolutely disgusting from management my partner missed a call from them and messaged them back after applying for a job there saying she couldn’t answer as we have a baby and was sleeping and she could either message or take a call tomorrow and they then read her message and just ignore her and after messaging them a few more times after that again ignored her so because she is a mum she’s not good enough well you are disgusting and vulgar with your horrible attitudes and violent security staff for no reason you just keep serving minors

We were a group of business colleagues socialising and enjoying ourselves until the security team arrived and started to cause trouble. One of their team picked on one of our group for wearing a hat, when he had been sitting there all evening wearing it without a problem. Our friend was then physically and aggressively removed with force for wearing this hat. We left with our friend because of this unprovoked and unwarranted aggression by this security team member. At no point prior to this was he warned by staff that wearing the hat would lead to this action by the security team. If that’s the sort of establishment you want then fine but this is a warning for everyone who doesn’t.

Me and my partner went early doors on a Saturday afternoon, for a couple of drinks before our dinner, it was quite cosy and quiet to begin with which was awesome and they had the best songs on. It filled up quite quickly though and turned into a fun party atmosphere which was awesome too, if we hadn't a table booked, we would have stayed all night I imagine. There are so many traditional pubs round here with great ales and stout aimed towards men which is nice, but its lovely that's there is somewhere that's a bit more marketed towards ladies, somewhere a bit more glam and cosy <3

Hiya I visited your drive thru sheesha today. It was a really bad experience. I usually do come to the lounge and I have never had any complaints. But the sheesha was awful, the staff were very polite and nice and did change the sheesha for us. I also ordered a cookie dough and it came burnt. It was changed but i got given a fork to eat cookie dough and ice cream with? I asked for a spoon. Ofcourse i waited until i got a spoon but the staff member came back and told me there were no spoons available. So by the time I waited for a spoon my cookie dough was all stuck to the paper i couldnt even eat it. The ice cream was put on top of the cookie dough which meant the middle was completely stuck to the paper. It was just an awful experience. The second sheesha took 20minutes to come back out. We were there for roughly 30 - 30minutes before we even got to have the sheesha. We will definitely not be returning it was such a bad experience.

Went for my birthday back in August. Was quite hectic with new covid restrictions - was told we could only stay for an hour and ended up going to get our straws from the bar after asking twice which kind of defeats the object of table service. This being said staff were ofcourse under a lot of pressure with the current times and new rules. Overall Aura is lovely, very clean, nice vibe, great cocktails and good prices. Will definitely be back once everything has died down!

I visited here with a female companion during a Saturday evening in January 2019. She had recommended the venue, especially the cocktails. Quite a trendy spot for Kettering - very enjoyable knocking back cocktails in very nice surroundings. I can recommend the Thunder Beer (it combines two of my favourite things - craft beer and caramel). Would definitely be keen to come back to work my way through some more of the cocktail menu.

We visited midweek early in the evening before going for a meal. Cocktails were two for one (you had to have two the same - or find a friend who likes the same drink as you)! It wasn't busy at all but as it is rather small it didn't seem too empty. Staff were friendly and explained the drinks menu and drinks were served promptly. Would definitely visit again.

Been a few years since I was in here. It was a different bar back then. It certainly looks a lot better now. The whole place is decorated to a high standard throughout and has a nice feel to it. We popped in for some early 2 for 1 cocktails on Saturday which is a good deal and the cocktails were tasty. Not very busy due to time of day but some pleasant people in there and nice staff. Upstairs function room looked nice and the toilets had certainly had a great makeover! Will use again.

Me and my gf were quite surprised to finally see a shisha place in Kettering and decided to go for it. Shisha was good, they have put quite a bit of tobacco in bowl, which was nice. They are using coconut coals, which is always a good choice when it comes to smoking pipe. Overall experience is good, would go there again.

We took the time to pre-book a table, on arrival although the table had a reserve sign on it people were using it. We were offered alternative seating on bar seats! This was not an option for us and found our own table. Drink menu was nonexistent for ale or bitter drinkers. We ordered our food and drinks, after 10 mins some came to advise that one of our food options was not available so new meal ordered. Food came roast dinners were great, pizza was questionable and the boa buns were a let down. During our food a waitress came over to see how things were and decided to clean some glasses and plates as she did this she leant over my mother in law who was try to eat her meal! We ordered from the 3 puddings the restaurant offers and after a good 5 mins the waitress came to say one wasn't available. Surely with only 3 puddings on the menu they should know what wasn't available. 15 mins later we were informed that there would be a slightly longer wait to receive the other two ordered puds. At this point we gave up paid the bill and left. I can 100% say we will not return
