Bhindi Kurkuri (crispy battered okra) was totally fabulous— pointed to an unusual kitchen. Lamb biryani was flavorful, fresh, full of well blended spices and wonderful tender lamb chunks. Angara Shrimp tandoori was amazing. Garlic naan a real treat. For 20 years, we ate Indian food...in Chicago on Devon Avenue (center of Indian community and dozens of restaurants). No higher accolade to say that THIS meal would “fit right in” there. Cannot wait to return. Many interesting and unusual items on the menu: Curried Mussels — Afghani Malai Tikka — Malabar Fish Coconut Curry — Veggie Vindaloo — wow !More

We had a group of 8 and found that if we ordered 2 of the fixed price dinners for 4 we would have some good choices and plenty of food for all. It worked out perfectly and the food was excellent, couldn't be better. The...service was polite and efficient, and very helpful explaining how to order for best results. Everyone enjoyed their lunches....fabulous food!More

Wow. So delicious. I’m just finishing some fish pakora and malai kofta with a chai at the wonderful Royal Aroma in Sidney BC. Somehow the flavours are intense, robust And delicately balanced. It’s so lovely and delicious. Everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely delicious! Every curry was cooked to perfection! By far the best curry in Sidney, BC. The Prawn Korma and Coconut Lamb curry were spectacular

We travel all around the world and we always pre hunt for great Indian restaurants where we are going to next. We found Royal Aroma on Trip Advisor and the reviews were amazing. We made a booking and arrived to a charming host and an...adorable waitress,Arsh, (super sweet waitress). The food? Hmmm, the tandoori chicken samosas were probably the best samosa I have ever eaten, crispy pastry, great filling and the right amount of spice. We had chicken tikka masala and the lamb curry, also right up there as top favorites around the world. That and the beautifully decorated restaurant made our early dinner an amazing experience. We will surely be back to try some other dishes and the wonderful hospitality.More

after a busy weekend we decided we didnt want to cook dinner. we hadnt been to royal aroma in a while so we ordered some takeout. i have to say it was some of the best east indian food we have had in a very...long time. service was fantastic and quick and food was deliciousMore

This Indian restaurant is a gem. The cook in a healthier and fresher fashion using less oil/ghee and heat judiciously which both allow the flavors of the spices and ingredients to shine. Subtle but significant difference. I love Indian food but it usually does not...leave me feeling healthy - I left here feeling great. We enjoyed the food and will definitely return.More

Had a busy day out and about while on our stay in Sidney. Had a recommendation from local friends and they were not wrong! Had an excellent meal.

Had the lunch menu, kind of ike a Bento Box, everything is offered including the desert. Good value for money, very yummy.

We have been a customer since Royal Aroma opened and have never been disappointed. Service inside and on the sidewalk has been excellent but recently we have been ordering takeout dinners which are generous portions, hot and on time.

Fabulous fresh authentic food and excellent service. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back soon.

Thruout the pandemic, we often got takeout from here. The flavours, freshness, great selection are all awesome. On Saturday past, we went for a sit down meal, very exciting after such a loooooong time! The meal, and service by Renee,surpassed our expectations. It was devine!!...It’s a little gem of a restaurant that we are so lucky to have in Sidney by the sea!More
