    I placed an online order for pickup for the first time and am so glad I did! Easy online ordering through the website, clean and nicely decorated restaurant, very polite staff, and delicious food that was well packaged for carry out. I enjoyed the salmon tikka masala, cheese garlic naan, jeera rice, and Indian chai!

    Loved the food at *Aroma Indian Cuisine*! The Pachi Mirchi Paneer was truly authentic and packed with flavor, and their biryani was absolutely amazing. One of the most unique desserts I’ve tried was the Mango Quinoa Kheer such a perfect ending to the meal. Special shoutout to Kishor, who was amazing and made our experience even better with his warm hospitality. Highly recommend this place if you live in New Orleans or are visiting. Definitely worth a stop!

    DO NOT GO HERE IS YOU ARE A SELF RESPECTING PERSON. Pretentious quantity of food for the money that you're paying. 8 pieces of paneer for 18$ curry. 6 pani puri for 12.5$. Service staff trying to guilt trip customers for asking an explanation for the bill. Charging extra for card payment but no where in the restaurant do they mention that. Selectively behaving rudely with desis. Playing cheap tricks like, " why are you arguing for 1$?" Felt like he was the customer and I was the server... lol. Genuinely suggest the owner to train the people on customer service.

    We went out for dinner and had a disappointing experience. The food taste was average at best, and the portions were noticeably less compared to other restaurants of a similar category. Despite this, the prices were on the higher end. The most concerning issue was the presence of hidden charges. This is one of the very few places in the U.S. where we encountered such a misleading practice. They do not provide an itemized receipt unless you specifically ask for one. When we finally received it, we noticed an automatic 15% gratuity added, along with a $2 card transaction fee. Initially, they only presented a total bill with no breakdown, while also suggesting an additional 18% tip. When I asked about the automatic 15% gratuity, I was told it was for the chef because he is paid hourly. This explanation was quite absurd, especially considering the high food prices. It raises serious questions about where the profits are going if chief still cannot be paid appropriately. My advice to others is to carefully check your receipt before paying. We all don't review our reciepts carefully and this is where they are robbing us blindly. As tourists, we genuinely felt taken advantage of, and I would not recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
