Aroma Cuisine Of India - Castro Valley

We settled in and started with samosas as our appetizer. The crust of each samosa was a perfect golden brown and not overcooked, which was a promising sign. The potato filling was lightly seasoned and tasted fantastic—I would definitely order that again! For our main course, we chose Saag Paneer, Daal Makhani, and a basket of four vegetarian naans. We requested that our food be prepared medium hot. While the Daal and Saag Paneer were delicious, they could have used a bit more heat; I’ll need to ask them to spice it up a bit next time. Our bread basket included fenugreek (methi) naan, aloo paratha, hara bhara (green) naan, and pezaa naan. The first three were simply delightful—I could have been completely satisfied with just those for my meal. However, I wasn't fond of the pezaa naan, which includes cheese, onions, and dried fruits; it had an overpowering onion taste, so I won’t be ordering that again. While we were dining, two ladies at the next table noticed our order and struck up a conversation; they turned out to be regulars at this restaurant. They agreed that the food is generally served mild and could benefit from a bit of extra spice. Overall, I highly recommend this place. It’s definitely worth multiple visits and is one of the best spots to experience Indian flavors. I’m even considering catering food from here for my future parties!

We settled in and ordered samosas as an appetizer. The crust on each samosa was perfectly golden brown and not overcooked, which was a great sign. The potatoes inside were slightly seasoned and tasty—I would definitely order those again. For our main courses, we chose Saag Paneer, Daal Makhani, and a basket of four vegetarian naans, asking the hostess to prepare our food medium spicy. Both the Daal and Saag Paneer were delicious but could have used a bit more heat; I’ll remember to ask for it spicier next time. The bread basket included fenugreek (methi) naan, aloo paratha, hara bhara (green) naan, and pezaa naan. The first three were absolutely delicious; honestly, I could have enjoyed just those for my meal and been completely satisfied. However, the pezaa naan (with cheese, onions, and dried fruits) didn't meet my expectations—it had a bit too strong an onion flavor for my taste, so I wouldn’t order it again. Two ladies at the next table were curious about our order. We struck up a conversation and learned they were regulars here. They mentioned that the food is usually served mildly and agreed it should definitely be better spiced! Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to experience authentic Indian flavors. I think it’s worth multiple visits, and I’m even considering catering from here for my future parties!
