Spicy Aroma Balti in Newport

My partner and I chose this takeaway for it's high star rating. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed and unimpressed with our meals. Mine went in the bin. Mushroom rice was overdone and burnt in places. I can only describe the butter chicken as disgusting. Tikka chicken slices covered in sickly sauce with lumps of onion thrown on top. Waste of money.

Late night munchies and I missed my favourite Lahore as it was too late. Looked on Uber Eats. Spicy Aroma... Aahhh are they still going? Obviously yes. Ordered vindaloo for nearly £10 for one dish (seemed a bit steep but will be packed full of chicken) which was suitably hot but similar tasting to the Iceland offering. But the chicken tikka? Think it's a bit missing. Always chocked full from Ajwa and Lahore my usual Indian sources. Not so here. Also cheaper than this place. I expect more than a supermarket curry taste for the money. Maybe Iceland got their recipe from here? I will say the garlic rice was tasty. I'm sure there are thousands of people who would recommend. All depends what you expect. I will try other places first next time .

10/10 everything. Staff, food, service.

Once again amazing boiling hot when it arrived , tasty as ever .. lush well done ! X

excellent service , food excellent and a great bunch of fellas that work there. Would highly recommend

The tikka masala had no taste and was really runny and cold

Delivery was good but i wish the temperature of the food was hotter

Absolutely stunning so tasty .. defo be ordering again ..

Always enjoy a spicy aroma! Chicken tikka jalfrezy my favourite.

Top quality food as always, lovely delivery man.

Superb food as normal. Delicious Madras. 10/10

I can't believe I 've paid money to get burnt food. I wish I had the energy to drive back and hand this to them. Avoid this place by all means.

Lovely food as always . Delivery guy very friendly 😀

Was lovley full of flavour and boiling hot

No salt or flavour to Biryani. Felt like I was eating plain rice with overly marinated chicken. Haven't tried other foods yet. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Cash only but there's cash machine right next door by Spar.

Taste was fine but lamb was so tough it wasn't nice at all. Probably wouldn't use again.

Amazing as always. Best take away in Newport by a mile. Food is really tasty, always arrives hot and good portions! Lovely man delivering! Good value for money.

Great takeaway. With a large Asian community locally you would think that there was a lot of competition. Mmmmm no they are the best!

Lamb karai was outstanding ordering again.Delicious

Best curry around!! Always hot, tasty big portions and super friendly delivery staff! Highly recommend!

Lovely curry and great delivery guy

Great food , lovely delivery guy . This place never lets us down

Excellent food our weekend treat 😊 lovely delivery guy aswell .

Really great food! Front of house was able to recommend a dish for me that was perfect for my taste! Will be eating there again…soon!

This is the best takeaway around. Good sized portions, always tastes lovely and always arrives hot. My order was missing something (This has never happened before in all the years we’ve ordered from them), when I rang up the staff were lovely, polite and got the missing item delivered really quickly.

food was bad will not order from there

Great meal as always from Spicy Aroma.

Fantastic food very tasty definitely be ordering here again

Great food. Always happy with food here. Great veggie selection.

I ordered tandoori chicken, chicken biryani and Murgi Masala. All three dishes were the same colour, red. I am surprised that the rice although heavily coloured, we’re absolutely tasteless. The tandoori chicken was like rubber. Awful food. Will not order again.

Arrived really quickly, well packed so the cartons didn’t leak. Piping hot & tasted great.

Lovely delivery driver, lovely food!

Good food would order again without a problem

Always great food, always delivered on time and always great value for money

Best Indian takeaway in Newport

Food was amazing it was piping hot and fresh!! 10/10 will use again

We have had better food from here over the years, was okay but not brilliant. Also missing an item. 5/10 overall 😏

one of the most tasteless chicken jalfrezi ive had sorry wont be ordering again

Food arrived nice and hot. It was delicious. Highly recommend!

Fantastic food! All piping hot and lovely and fresh!

flawless as always, thanks again

Makes Good Authentic Dishes... Freindly Staff

Bought for my dad. He said it was the best Indian food he’s had in a long time. He also said the delivery guy was super nice. Thank you!

Ordered chicken tikka biryani and loved the food, also orderd chicken korma but they sent a normal chicken curry first time i have had the wrong meal sent. Quality of the food is great.

Just excellent and reasonable value - great guys too! Keep it up!

Food is always perfect and tasty from this restaurant. Decent portions and nice, hot and fresh. Drivers are quick and polite :)

It wasn’t at problem about being late the traffic was bad well worth the wait

Regular visitor to the shop, trying different dishes once a month and having the regular in between.

amazing food as always. thanks again

Best Indian food In newport. Food Is always perfect and super fast too. Nice selection of vegetarian options which is appriciated. Top guys.

Another fab meal from Spicy Aroma. They are the best in Newport 👍

Best takeaway around. Lovely tasting food, arrived on time, piping hot, nice sized portions.

Madras was hotter than usual, and tikka masala seemed really over cooked

Lovely, tasty food as always, good size portions and piping hot. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a takeaway curry

Food knot as good as usual very disappointed as used them for my main curry supplier pity may be different chefs

I've never seen a bright red rogan josh before and all I could taste was tomato. Very disappointing 😞

The food was hot on arrival,my meal was delicious as always

Delicious food. Best I've had in a while. Only small complaint is that the food wasn't boiling when it arrived. It was warm but not boiling

I love your food, I will be ordering again. Thank you.

Brilliant as usual! Tasty, good portion size, great service!

Food was delivered within time but was cold. Chips were hard & nan bread had gone soggy. Curry was slightly warm but nothing was delivered hot. Dissapointed as dont usually have a bad meal but put off ordering from here again

Very nice and quickly delivered,will use again, thank you.

Keema rice was burnt and green sauce was like water and tasted very bland, keema naan was doughy, very disappointed

Awesome food. Awesome chef. Watch them cook, brilliant. 👍

Yet again another top class curry

Awesome food and good delivery service as always thanks again

Food was poor and Naan bread had paper inside, will not order again

Great food and great service as always.

Best Indian food I have had for a while. Definitely will return. Meat was so tender.

First time ordering from here. The Onion Bhaji was the best ever. Will definitely order from here again.

Absolutely outstanding in every department, I've had these dishes from other restaurants and this is by far the best. Pick up time was all ready and the staff on point and good for a chat. Last thing. Still the best onion bhaji in the city

Food was great. One slight mix up with the samosas. Order vegetable and got the meat version. This is a one off.

Only Issue was chips were not hot like warm everything else great

Consistently amazing. Always hot and delicious, and the portion sizes are more than fair. Worth it every time

Amazing once again. Thankyou *****

Food is always 5*, delivery on time, drivers friendly, my new favourite takeaway. Thank you

Great meal, with great service. 👌

Lovely food. Best curry we've had in ages, would highly recommend.

Ordered a poppadom opened the bag and there was only about a quarter of one in there

Got given wrong drink. Tasted really nice but No mushroom in the mushroom balti,to many onions

Only thing wrong with it the chips wasn’t the best some tasted like not cooked long enough

We ordered a plain naan and a keema naan but we never received them £6.00 down the drain

Very average for me. Not convinced on all the 5* reviews. Seems to be a lot of set up reviews these days. Once bitten 😒

Fantastic food. Highly recommended.

Banging as always. Hands down the best around. Can't say enough good things. Food always correct, piping hot and DELCIOUS!

5*****!!! Food came earlier than we expected, the driver had a big smile on his face and was very polite. The food came hot and the taste was amazing! Thank you! We will order again for sure! Oh! And we had a £5 off too ( we did not expect it). 👏🏽

Really friendly staff and the food was amazing!! Thank you

One of the best and finest in Newport for a curry. Highly recommended.

Beautiful food lovely and hot as usual

Food is always lush, piping hot and big portion sizes! Our regular curry house!! Second to none xxx

Tasted great as usual, always arrives hot, asked for it to be delivered asap and it arrived in half hour even though estimated time was 1 hour

Really happy to have found this Indian takeaway. Definitely one of the better ones we've tried in Newport. It's great to be able to ask for things to be cooked "apna" style (traditionally). The saag paneer was a bit low on paneer but what was in there was of better quality than others I've tried. Will definitely be ordering again and would recommend to others to give it a go.

Once food was on the plate it was swimming with oily water! Food was Luke warm and to be honest the food portion sizes were absolutely shocking! Would never ever order again!!!!!!!!

Food arrived late, driver didn’t seem to know what he was doing and was sat outside the house in the car. Food was then cold, the Madras was oily, the Naan Bread was hard and Popadoms were not crunchy.

Order turned up incomplete, couldn’t refund me as the manager wasn’t available or send out missing items as they were busy. Said they’d send it with my next order 😂 food was nice though

Food arrived on time however needed reheating as it was cold. Very disappointed. Won’t be ordering again.

Spicy aroma has always been our favourite Indian takeaway and we have enjoyed our meals for years. We are really sad that you have stopped delivering to Langstone.

The curry carton was not full and was about 1/4 to short of being full and as an mushroom balti dish very little mushroom was in there when we could find them. The same could be said on the rice more mushroom could have been used.

Excellent food, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal :) we had the House Special Share Box to start with which was amazing. We then had the Tandoori Rezala which had a nice kick to it and full of flavour! Will order again for sure!

Had lots of meals from Spicey Aroma. Enjoyed as usual.
