👍👍 The best curry place in London. The chicken momos are brilliant, as is the vindaloo. Honestly everything is outstanding but you have to get the mutton rara. It's seriously delicious. Get a Gurkha beer to go with the meal, they are large and tasty. You should probably plan several visits so you can... People often mention great, curry, good, service, recommend,

    The best curry place in London. The chicken momos are brilliant, as is the vindaloo. Honestly everything is outstanding but you have to get the mutton rara. It's seriously delicious. Get a Gurkha beer to go with the meal, they are large and tasty. You should probably plan several visits so you can work your way through the whole menu. But always get the mutton rara.

    Best chicken vindaloo of my life, the mutton rara is a standout, chicken momos so deliciously delicate & balanced in flavour that we took ages to eat them so we could savour every bite. But my god those lamb chops. Sorry Tayyabs, there’s a new king in town & I don’t mean Charles. Aromas chops are firmly number one. The staff are just bloody lovely, our waitress in particular was great fun and just a pleasure to hang out with, they serve gorkha beers and it only came to £25 a head!!! I’m overjoyed, seriously overjoyed!

    Me and my sister used to go once a month when we lived in the area. The food was amazing and the price was good as well. If you like spicy food that's your place!

    Amazing food. Great customer service. There have been 1 or 2 occasions where I've had quarrels with delivery drivers or the time it takes for the food to be delivered especially because I am local. But overall the food is worth every penny and a nice end of week treat.

    Decided to try out Aromas on the basis of being nearby and the good reviews and wow super happy we did! Loved the menu, this place has got your standard curry house fare plus some interesting Nepalese dishes. Everything we ordered was really well cooked, super tasty with fantastic flavours. I loved the momos, really recommend trying them. Plenty of delicious looking meat on the menu but also a superb selection of veggie dishes (the veggie keema was amazing). Service was friendly too. Overall, top meal and will be back.

    I’ve recently moved to Forest Gate and had heard from friends about how good this place is. We finally went last night. What a great restaurant. The best curry I’ve had in a long time. Will be returning, many times.

    Enjoyed a solo curry whilst on a work trip from Manchester. Excellent food, good portions and freshly prepared. Might have to return for the Timur lamb.

    A fine dine in with variety of quality Indian and Pakistani food. The roti and curry was so fresh and tasty. Staff is very pleasant and helpful.

    Wow, all the way from Leeds to stay with some friends 'round the corner and discovered this little gem. Having eaten in many, many high to budget end curry places over the years this ranks near the top. Outstanding food, not heavily spiced or drowning in salt. Good vegan range (my meat scoffing friends were equally happy). And London prices not in sight, and coming from Yorkshire this made me even happier. Heartily recommended. Oh and friendly staff and great service. Meal for three + starters.

    We ate vegan as my friend is vegan and we wanted to share dishes. Delicious onion bhaji, main dishes were superb. We parked outside and they placed us by the window so we could watch out for traffic wardens! Service was excellent and all for under £50 for 2 of us. We will be back!

    100% would recommend! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was super friendly, welcoming and smiley. The place was cosy and the atmosphere was lively. Thank you for a great dinner, will come back soon! 😃

    It's pretty good, ordered quite a lot of food and it was all fine and arrived hot. It won't tempt me away from my usual favourite Indian though. Also the Vindaloo could have been a bit hotter.

  • 5/5 Rebekah P. 1 year ago on Google
    Just in forest Gate for a flying visit. Fancied an Indian so did the classic Google search and found this amazing place. I don't even do reviews but had to leave one as the food was the best food I've tasted 😋. The service was great and the place has been updated from the photos online not that that matters.will definitely be coming back when I'm here again.

    Best Indian food I’ve had in years. We chose this restaurant by chance and were not disappointed. The service was quick and the staff were incredibly friendly. Would recommend!

    Absolutely delicious every time. We try a new curry every order and every one we get is perfect. Super high quality, great portions and always arrives hot and well packaged. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
