An unassuming Indian restaurant we came across whilst visiting Vancouver Island from the UK. I am very partial to a good curry & this place makes VERY good curries. I would go as far as to say one of the best I have tasted. The flavours were harmonious, the meat so tender. Fried Paneer with garlic & honey glaze for appetiser was truly delicious. Service was wonderful. It was not busy, but a steady flow of customers & take-away collections showed this was a popular choice, and rightly so.

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!

As the local restaurant horizon has become filled with Indian cuisine; it is a very pleasant surprise when one of them excels above the others. Royal aroma is a humble cozy restaurant in the old Swiss Bistro location in Sidney. What I can promise is that the flavors deliver! Exquisite balance of spices, delicious flavors and perfect levels of heat to suit everyone. I've eaten there at least a half dozen times trying tandoori, korma, appetizers, you name it. This is just excellent. Go here, get yourself a cold Kingfisher beer, and dive in. It's great!!

I have eaten at this restaurant innumerable times since it opened, and the food has always been phenomenal. My favs are the curries - Royal Aroma, Tikka Masala, Mango, Mughlai, the Biryani’s, Roti and Naan. My husband generally does not like Indian food but he always orders the Delicious Eggplant (slightly smokey flavour). The spices used in the curries and biryanis are complex and the level of heat can be adjusted to suit your taste. The chef will accommodate food preferences such as no cream, no butter, if possible. Also, the chef knows how to cook seafood as the prawns are never overdone. For fans of Indian food I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Wow the food here is good! The menu says that the chicken tandoori is cooked overnight and I believe it. Moist, and wonderful flavor. My wife's shrimp curry also had a rich curry sauce that she kept saying she had to stop eating but could not stop. Good service, and a pleasant table on the street. We would have happily come back the next day but we had to leave SIdney.

We completely loved our meal at Royal Aroma tonight! High end Indian fair. We started with delicately crisp vegetable pokara's and lots of them for a mere $5.95. We then spit a wonderfully sauced lamb korma and fresh tasting vegetable curry all accompanied by rice. The garlic nann was delicious as well. Service was polite and prompt. My only suggestion would be to change the music from awful pop radio station to some authentic East Indian instrumental.

Today we picked up two Thali lunches for take out and we were so impressed! The meal was absolutely delicious, the service friendly, they had our order ready and it was still hot by the time we got to the beach, and the variety of items in our lunch tray were absolutely spot on. Took us right back to India. The spices were so well balanced. Thank you!!! We will be back.

On a cold blustery day we found a warm and comfortable setting to enjoy a delious lunch. Simply, it was excellent in service, food and price. We have dined there twice and both times exceeded our expectations.

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 !

Royal Aroma is a fantastic addition to Sidney. I tried it on recommendation from a friend. Takeout. They were incredibly helpful in selecting complementary and interesting foods and flavours. Everything was just right, spices were wonderful. Loved the curries. The food was prepared fresh exactly at the time I said I would pickup. It was a fantastic way to have a new and interesting meal with friends at home (distanced of course). Thanks for coming to Sidney, Royal Aroma.

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.

First time at Royal Aroma so we asked for suggestions and settled on the Prawn Korma and Butter Chicken, both sublime. Topped up with a fresh tasting and delicious rice pudding we couldn't be happier. Our server/host was gracious and informative.

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.

The Royal Aroma in Sidney is my favourite restaurant- had both lunches and dinner inside the restaurant in the past, recently outside at sidewalk table and lots of lunch takeouts. Truly can’t get enough of their food! Rich flavourful sauces, generous servings and lots of variety. Service is great as well. Visited with both family and friends and they have all loved it! Here’s my suggestion: order a takeout lunch combo then go to the beach or park for a picnic or buy a combo at lunch and have it for dinner.

We recently phoned-in a take order for an early 3:30 PM pickup as we were catching a 4 PM ferry back home. I arrived at 3:20 and the very well wrapped food was ready for me right on time. I am pleased to report that the food was superb! The serving were large enough for four separate dinners over the next few evenings. Needless to say, we will be back for more on our next trip to Sidney. I can highly recommend the Royal Aroma in Sidney!
