Love the place. I go there every week with my family, food is on top, and service is amazing best poppadoms that I have tried. Also, they have outstanding customer service. I recommend the butter chicken. It is generally an amazing place for high-quality food.

Food is always stunning every time I take out or eat in, wonderfully friendly staff for when I do eat in, with very fast service times. A wonderful atmosphere comprised of gentle lighting and music, all of that paired with good food makes for a delightful experience!

As soon as I walked in with my wife, 3 kids and grandparents for a table we had booked the staff looked liked they didn’t want us there. They questioned and challenged my booking but eventually accepted it and then sat us down. The man who took our drinks order showed no interest in us and then got the order wrong. We then waited 30 minutes to take our order however that was only after I chased them. The food came and it was tasty and we all enjoyed it however overall the experience with the staff spoilt the evening. I would think twice about dining in and would rather opt for a takeaway.

I ordered a takeaway from this place and this isn't the first time they forget part of the order. Ordered onion bhaji last night and these were forgotten, I rang up straight away and asked for these to be sent asap, they said "not a problem, will send them down shortly" held off as we wanted our starters first and left the mains in the oven. Well put it this way still waiting for my starter 24hrs later ...

I used to be a loyal customer of this restaurant, often visiting with friends and family and always singing its praises. However, my recent experience has changed that. When I called today with a simple question about a Christmas booking, I was met with a surprisingly rude and dismissive response. Given this unnecessary attitude, I’ve decided never to return.

We have used this establishment a fair few times and had not had any issues until tonight. We arrived a party of 4 and had not booked a table, it was 5.15pm we were told we could have a table but there was a booking at 7pm for it, we said that would be fine. We ordered food and drink, the dishes were collected while some of our party were still eating!! Then at 6.15pm we were brought the bill and told we needed to vacate the table to get ready for the next sitting, there were only 2 other people in the whole place. I paid and was asked if I was ok, I said no and was asked why, I said I would have liked a pudding and was told by the shortest member of staff that I was lucky to have had a table at all. The food was lovely but the customer service was shocking.

Excellent evening out at Spicy Aroma, the starters were great - poppadoms fresh and crunchy with fresh chutneys especially liked the zingy lime chutney. Starters of onion bhajis and mixed kebab - 4 nice crispy bhajis and tender chicken and lamb( so often lamb in Indian restaurants is very tough but this was lovely and tender). Mains of Chicken Madras and Chicken Korai, both meals had a good amount of chicken which was so tender you could cut it with the side of your fork. Particularly liked the korai sauce which was nicely spiced and very flavoursome. Best curry we have had out for years.

We came here twice, not long after we moved into the area, and only went the second time because the first was opening night, and we wanted to give them a chance. Ten years we've been here, so we thought we'd try again. Big mistake!!! First the good points. Probably the best poppadoms I've ever tasted. The mains arrived in a timely fashion, and we're hot. Well, that's about it really... Everything else was average at best, and the pièce de résistance was the pudding. Well the photo looked nice - a chocolate ice cream with a sauce, topped with a Ferrero Rocher, with the hint of a couple of spare ones, dotted around the plate. What arrived was a dried out cow pat that had been sitting at the back of the fridge for days, maybe weeks. It was ugly, stale and even the sauce was rock hard. It even contained a hazel nut that I thought was a broken filling at first! And it's not as if it's even cheap! Sorry, but you've had more than your fair share of chances now. We won't be coming back. Awful.

Cancelled my order after being spoken to like an idiot on the phone. I wanted to pay by card before asked me for my card number he told me to hurry up as he's got people wating on the phone.. my line was crackling so he got annoyed and told me to pay cash on delivery so I told him where to stick his food. I've sensed attitude when I was there before picking up a takeaway.. terrible staff terrible restaurant.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Just had the worst experience ever! We came for an after work dinner, we’re in the trade we understand when people come in at the end but we had plenty of time to order. If it was a problem we should of been told to take it away however they decided to serve us.. we took about 3 mouthfuls and was told to hurry up and get out, got tutted at when accidentally dropped a fork and used another, kept getting stared at and when it came to the bill decided to add on more money! We asked for a takeaway container to get out their way as we were disgusted in the way we were treated! Will never be back and would advise everyone else to AVOID!!

1) The restaurant is owned by a Bangladeshi. Yelp should correct this huge misrepresentation. 2) The owner (male) is a good person and cares for customers. The lady is a VERY sneaky and sweet-talking diplomat, dishonest and always resorts to switch-and-bait tactics such as giving not just less but actually half the normal quantity, giving stale exposed snacks instead of frying fresh from the freezer, surreptitiously including old rice and stale, smelly chicken with the biryani, cunningly using a tablespoon to compensate more rice instead of using the regular big spoon she just used to start filling the biryani order upon my asking why the quantity was half the normal, etc. , and overcharging on top, not presenting the detailed bill. She shortchanges on the quantity of all dishes, even vegetables. So now I buy only when the owner is in the shop and I tell him I do not wish the lady to touch my orders. He just remains quiet instead of correcting such behaviour once and for all. 3) Food is ok in quality but for such a run-down place the prices are on par with better Indian restaurants. 4) The city Health Department should check the quality of the "chicken" in the Friday biryani Special which smells rotten and makes you feel like puking. 5) When the owner is in solely and handles your entire order, I would raise the rating to 3 stars.

We ordered our New Years Eve supper at 5pm to collect it at 8pm. On arrival, our order was clearly not ready and we had to wait until 9.25pm for the food. Being given free beers did not appease us as service was rude,there were no apologies or discount for the delay, and the staff seemed intent on getting as many orders as possible without considering whether they could fulfill them. Many people were waiting over an hour for their prebooked orders. This lack of service ruined our evening.

I've been here a few times, and the most important point I feel is that everything is better during the week. Monday-Thursday (especially at the start of the week) there is not many people, so the service is efficient and friendly, and the portion size of the food is good. However this all changes at the weekend. They seem to only have a small kitchen, so at the weekend expect a long wait. They also have many takeaways as well, which doesn't help things. At the weekend the service is slow and rushed, and I think the quality and quantity of the food is reduced to keep up with the demand. Don't get me wrong, its a nice place, and good value. It's just a shame they don't have the kitchen size and staff to cope with bigger numbers.

Sólo la segunda vez que visité este lugar y la segunda vez no me decepcionó. La señora se mostró un poco molesta porque no pudo tomar un vaso de rojo con su comida (el bar abre a las 1800).Estaban muy ocupados con los pedidos por teléfono, que es probablemente el camino a seguir, a menos que realmente desee una comida para sentarse.El personal es educado, la comida estaba caliente y con buen sabor: el pollo Naga lo tenía todo.Sólo menos sería el tamaño de las porciones, pero supongo que quién no querría más.Probé un poco de mis compañeros de pescado al curry y, aunque no era de mi agrado, todavía era bueno y tenía un sabor agradable.

We have been enjoying coming to the Spicy Aroma for several years now. Reason?Well, it's just amazing! Excellent food, spotlessly clean, pleasant staff, and a lovely romantic ambience. Lovely soft lighting. Whatever your tastes, the menu has something for everyone and the prices are favourable too! They made my favourite starter chilli paneer into a main course for me and I enjoyed a spinach and cheese pakora for starters instead. My husband had one of the hot ones with a cheese and onion naan and a saag side dish. All set in the delightful village of Churchdown with car parking nearby. It's not hard to see why it's our favourite. So try it for yourselves. I went there only last night so this review is bang up to date!!

Sadly I feel that the Spicy Aroma has gone down hill. I hope it was just a 'bad night' when we visited. The main grumble was the fluidity of the staff and how we were served. It was although it was the first night of all the staff there. The best way to describe the service was clumsy! Starters coming out five minutes apart. Items requested not given to the table, just little gripes, but ones that when compounded makes for quite an annoying meal.

We booked a table but picked a Friday night. Obviously the place is gaining a reputation for good food and therefore the amount of people going is increasing which meant they didn't quite have enough staff on to meet the demands of a full house. Therefore drinks and food took a while to come. But when it did, the food is lush. All in all nothing is that expensive and its about £40 for two with starters and mains and drinks. Therefore, make it a mid-week visit if you want faster service, but the place is very nice inside, very modern and nice staff.. we didn't have the experience of them being grumpy a previous reviewer had... we will be going back, but not on a weekend. Recommended.

We were welcomed at the door but then took 20mins to take drink order and the food took over 40mins to come. I would except if it was Friday or Saturday but it was Thursday and only two tables. The food was bland and tasteless Would not go back

I was recently had a meal with some friends at this establishment, I was very upset at the service I received, initially we were left waiting for a table when the whole restaurant was near enough empty, Then the drinks were served in dirty glasses - when I asked the waiter to change them he looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language! - when he himself barely spoke English!The Food was not hot more warm and the waiting time was far too long.To be fair me or my friends 2 of which are regulars have decided not to go back, when we approached the management we were asked to settle down ! to top it all off we were told that they can not accept a card payment and to go to the cash machine if possible!The whole evening was ruined by the attitude of the staff and horrible food. I will be sharing this with all my colleagues and friends so they do not get treated this way and steer well clear of this premises.

I've been to SA several times and the food is always very nice. However the service was pretty dire on my last visit. We waited half an hour to order and a further hour and a half for the food to arrive. Other customers looked like they were having similar experiences; at one point I couldn't see anyone eating! The staff were not even apologetic when our food finally came. As a local I'll try to give it a second chance but I'd like to see a bit more emphasis on service.

We have eaten here many times now since receiving a menu through the door mid 2014. The food and service has always been good and we have even introduced friends to the Spicy Aroma. We have always been able to get a table and have never left disappointed or hungry. Have often been tempted to try a take-away but my husband likes to take the opportunity of a draught beer. We have always paid by credit card and have never had a problem. We don't always eat here as we like to try different places but it is reliable, local and I'm sure we'll visit again very soon.

Food is nice it's a shame this place is let down by rude staff and the fact you can't pay by card at the end. this has happens on 2 occasions in the last 3 week once to me and and also to my friend!! I don't think the comment made by a member or staff "people should carry cash" is really acceptable who pays in cash anyway these days RUDE RUDE RUDE they need a lesson on customer service!!!

Visited Spicy Aroma a week or so before Christmas with my husband, son and daughter, having been numerous times before. The food is always fab, tasty and NOT GREASY! Which a lot of Indian food is. My favorites are the mushroom rice, chicken shashlik and shali. The service was freindly as usual and very prompt.The restaurant is pleasant and the cloakrooms are spotless..Tripadvisor to me is not just for people to have a good whinge it is also so that establishments can learn from feedback. (Someone in our family owns a Hotel and they had loads of comments saying sheets and blankets are old fash. They now have duvets in all rooms!) My point is that Spicy Aroma has had a few comments saying the service is slow and I think they have taken notice. By the way the food always tastes fresh so its going to take time. Well done Robbie and your staff we always enjoy it!

The badminton players moved from the Churchdown Club and into The Spicy Aroma restaurant, the two establishments share the same building.We ordered the obligatory popadums, chutneys etc and several drinks.Having made our choices for mains, we waited and chatted over more drinks, whilst the food was prepared.When it arrived, the food was well worth the visit and one of our number, finished off with an ice cream and banana fritter.Robbie and the rest of the guys looked after us very well, the food was good and a very agreeable atmosphere.

Had a takeaway last nite and i have to say its the worst ive ever tasted...the naan bread was not cooked properly cold and stodgy...the bhagis again cold and very dry and as for the chips what a joke!!! My partner and i dont earn a lot so this is a fortnightly treat £25 thrown down the drain!! We normally choose another takeaway outside of churchdown but decided to give spicey aroma a try what a MASSIVE mistake...and im not normally one to make a fuss or complain but this warranted to type out this complaint..also rang up to complain to be met with the manager who was extremely rude and aggresive on the phone and just laughed and hung up..after speaking with freinds they say they allways give the place a wide birth after hearing reports of the enviromental health being called there on several occasions!!+++avoid at all cost++++

I have to say this has to be the worst indian takeaway ive ever tasted and most of it was cold!!Im far from a fussy eater but £30 spent and threw it in the bin warranted me to write this complaint because when i rang afterwards the manager just laughed and put the phone down on me!!After speaking to friends they also give this place a wide berth just wish i knew this before ordering!!

Made a reservation for Friday night online, quick reply, turned up to find it quite only a few tables occupied, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the atmosphere was lovely. Food was delicious 😋 so we ended up booking for Christmas Day, would highly recommend, it's unlicensed so you can take your own 🍺 🍾

I normally order my Indian food from the Calcutta but this has now closed so I thought I would give the churchdown tandoori a try…… well I was pleasantly surprised as the food from here tasted great, delivered on time and still hot, with reasonable prices for an Indian restaurant. This is now going to be my new choice for Indian food and I can recommend it for others to try !

This is an excellent Indian restaurant. The food is superb and the staff very friendly and attentive. The bi-weekly buffet represents excellent value for money; I have only missed one since February!
