Tasty and very authentic Indian food. You must try their spinach naan! Clean restaurant and very attentive staff. I recommend this hidden gem that is away from Napa's touristy spots. Easy parking too.

I just moved to Napa two months ago, and my wife and I are absolute foodies, and we both cook. I am the kind of guy that searches for the best foods in many cultures wherever I travel. Aroma is the real thing. That being said, Aroma's dishes are divine! Aromatic, like the name says, but also there is love in the cooking. I cannot stand when you pay money for "phoned-in" food. We only did take out last night, but when home, the food was was as good as my favorite West Hollywood Indian restaurant, and, I have been to many Indian restaurants in my life. The balance of spices were great. Tenderness of lamb, perfect. The Saag Paneer was the best I have had in years. I am looking forward to bringing the family in to sit down for dinner. Also, the bar has a great selection wine and spirits. In Napa, you have to! LOL! Nice job, Aroma!

Just had a fabulous lunch! Lots of great vegetarian options. Samosas were delicious. Chai was good. All the flavors were delicious . Service was attentive ambience was very comfortable. I have been craving Indian food and this hit the spot. The chai comes with the sugar on the side in case you're watching your sugar. And you can specify the amount of spice you want in your dishes. It was really a perfect lunch.

The best Tandori Chicken I've had! Great spices with an anise subtle sweetness delivered on a hot cast iron plate. Fabulous presentation. Wonderful service!

Chicken tikka masala was delicious and our server AJ was great! The overall vibe is really nice too.
Luisa B.
This place is sooo delicious!! The tikka masala was refreshing, best one I've ever had, the paneer bhurji was flavorful, and the naan was soft and delicious with the tikka sauce. The only thing was that the basmati rice was a little hard, but maybe because it's near closing time. We also went on a Friday night on Valentine's Day and it was surprisingly empty and quiet. Our server was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Y'all need to make your way over here!!

Wow! What a great find! TLDR: If you are looking for tasty, authentic Indian cuisine in the Napa area, this is it! Very courteous staff, quick service and delicious flavors await any who visit! Note: the entrees don't come with rice so there is an additional charge for it, which was more expensive than I expected. The rest of the story: We popped into this place on New Year's Eve, after a quick trip to Napa. I was a little apprehensive when I saw the outside of the building but was pleasantly surprised by its tidy and welcoming decor inside and the friendly greeting we got from the staff. It was pretty quiet inside but there were a few other couples dining. The waiter seated us quickly and gave us a few minutes to review the menu. Soon we ordered the following dishes: Lamb biriani Goat vindaloo Chicken tikka masala Butter chicken Bullet naan Pizza naan After placing our order, the food was delivered to our table in about 15 mins and served piping hot. The lamb biriani presentation really blew us away! Unlike most Indian restaurants, it is not just brought in a bowl, this was served in a large, sloped bowl with a "top" of naan covering the bowl. The kicker is the naan was baked ON TOP OF THE BOWL! With some ceremony, the bowl was placed on the table and the server cut around the top with a knife and folded the top back to reveal the delicious dish underneath. It tasted just as good as it looked! All of the dishes were really well-seasoned. The meats were tender and prepared properly. If I had to nit-pick anything, the goat pieces had more gristle than I would have preferred but otherwise, everything was marvelous. We even started conversations with other diners in the restaurant who were equally impressed with the food and service. Well done! I will definitely be back!

We celebrated my father's 74th birthday at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and truly authentic. My Indian mother who has very high standards was very happy and impressed. Couldn't give a higher review than that!

The staff was extra friendly and the food came quickly. The flavors were pronounced and the meats were tender. The decor was neat, clean and they played intriguing music. My lamb biryani was full of vegetables and tender lamb. All of my companions had a similar experience with their food. The other patrons were raving about their food! I highly recommend this restaurant.

One of my favorite Indian places to eat. It's a little pricey but if you can get their spicy goat curry you will not be disappointed. We often get their garlic naan too.

I came to Napa Valley from Arizona for Valentine’s Day, and I was craving Indian food for our dinner. After reviewing a few places, I decided on Aroma Indian Cuisine, and it did not disappoint! We started with the veggie samosas as an appetizer, which were amazing. For the main dish, I had the butter chicken with cilantro naan—absolutely delicious! For dessert, we tried the coconut kheer, and it was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The service was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely be coming back to this place!
