I Just felt I had to write a review because if I was in the area and read the reviews on Tripadvisor I would certainly not go here. On the contrary We use this Restaurant all the time when eating out and really do not recognise it from some of the Reviews. The only reason I Googled it was that I wanted to book online and was astonished to see one of the Links saying "Inedible Food" and thought there must be a mistake. In fact We think it is one of the Best in the area without going to Blandford Forum which has a small Nepalese Population. My personal Favourite is The Naga Delight btw I've put December 2023 on the Review but as I say It is based on many visits

Service was quite slow (food to arrive at the table) but staff were polite and friendly. Zero issues with the food when it arrived though, it was very good. Good town centre location with parking (Pay & Display) right outside.

Not really sure that they wanted our custom - it certainly felt as if we were in the way (and others too: we weren’t alone !) Overpriced, tasteless at best, slow to serve and without a smile.

Delicious food and great service! We found Aroma while travelling in the area and it did not disappoint! The menu is expansive and authentic. The quality of the food is wonderful and the portions generous! The staff were very attentive as well. Definitely recommend!

We were really looking forward to trying out this restaurant with our friends as most of the reviews on here are great, however we will never be returning to this restaurant. The food was awful so we let the staff know and said sorry but we cannot eat the curry as it was way too sweet and had no other flavour or spice in it. The staff member started accusing us of ordering the wrong thing on the menu and not reading it properly and got very defensive instead of saying sorry and offering to fix the problem. He was saying we should have told them how we wanted it first before ordering, but we always order the same curry at every restaurant we go to and have never had one as terrible as this. The staff member continued to argue with us in front of the other diners in the restaurant, which was embarrassing and the worst customer service I have ever experienced. If we had an apology and offered an alternative straight away it wouldn't have been a problem and we may have returned but as the customer service was awful I will never be returning. WARNING to anyone going to this restaurant if you have a problem with your food get ready for a loud abusive argument in the restaurant in front of everyone!!! It was a traumatising experience and the staff member who was yelling at us should be ashamed of himself! They did take my curry off the bill in the end, but that was only after a huge argument and was too little too late!

My wife and I popped in here on the off chance, and got the last table available. The restaurant was crowded, and the atmosphere was good. They were able to cater for dairy, egg, and gluten free diets, and the food was delicious. Good service, good food, and good time thank you!

Early opening useful when going to Shaftesbury Arts centre. Had a first class meal served by an attentive waiter. Will certainly visit again.
I visited Aroma for having our dinner with couple of my friends tonight and we were completely disappointed with their service quality and hygiene.Before we taking our seats, they started to ask us to have papadams, didn't give us taking a single breath to look at menu, and within a minute the boy come as second time and ask for orderings drinks. Most importantly, when they provided chutney tray, it was used by someone else. Look like They used it before us to another customers and then wiped its around and top up and giving it again to others tables. Where is their hygiene?Even after finishing the meal, one came and asked 'have u finished'? Then another guy come for taking all the plates and other stuff back and then again another boy come to wipe surface and finally last guy came out with hot towels and dessert menu. What kinda drama is that?We went there for spending some quality time and we were completely disturbed and bored although food was goodMoreover, one of their staff were also using mobile phone in front of us when we needed to order some drinks they were busy using mobile phones. It seems to us the owner was quite rude to his staff and misbehaved them.I recommend to all not to visit this restaurant ever rather try some other restaurants nearby.

The food is very nice but the main portions are way too small, which makes this restaurant extremely expensive. My wife & I left still feeling hungry after 3 poppadums, 2 mains & a side. One small beer & bottle of water, The whole meal cost about £50 which is appalling value & why I give it 2 Stars.

This was the first Indian restaurant we’ve ever eaten in that we have left still feeling hungry after 3 popadoms, 2 mains, rice & a veg side dish. The portions were minuscule making this restaurant possibly the most expensive Indian we’ve ever had. With one bottle of water & a small beer the total was over £50.00, which is insane. Never again.

Ordered takeout to collect. We ordinarily use these guys. However tonight was an absolute disappointment for a birthday treat. Everything we normally order tasted different. Expensive waste. Quite upset to be honest?

Delicious food, fast and professional service.Their lamb tikka masala is tasty and tender, but I guess the highest point is their cheese naan, it's easily the best, cheesiest bread in the UK!Plus, the fish in the tank was so happy to see us, can't beat that!
