Aroma Indian Shaftesbury - North Dorset

I felt compelled to write a review because if I were in the area and read the reviews on Tripadvisor, I would definitely not visit this restaurant. However, we frequent this restaurant often and do not recognize it from some of the negative reviews. I decided to Google it in order to book online, and was surprised to see a link that mentioned inedible food. We believe that this restaurant is one of the best in the area, especially considering we would otherwise have to travel to Blandford Forum, which has a small Nepalese population. My personal favorite dish is the Naga Delight. Please note that the review is based on multiple visits, despite being dated December 2023.

I attempted to order delivery from this restaurant five times but was unsuccessful each time. I was also charged five times for the failed orders. I ended up ordering from a different restaurant and will not be returning to this one. I just hope that my card is refunded promptly.

We had a wonderful meal at the restaurant. The green chilli chicken was delicious and the chicken Ceylon was beautifully cooked. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and lovely.

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!
