One of the best Indian food experiences around. Posh white table cloth atmosphere with fair prices. The meals are exquisitely spiced and the staff make you feel welcome.

It’s my second time with my friend here and we found it by accident because it’s near the park.
It’s the best Indian I had in London so far it’s not to oily and heavy like the typical Indian food you get so it settles nicely in my stomach. Plus it tastes so flavorful and clean at the same time. The two same gentleman served me again this evening and they are super KIND. Thank you so so much for the lovely service. We can’t wait to go back especially for the charming service and the eggplant dish we are both obsessed !
Very veg friendly too.

We were served by two lovely gentleman who were attentive and checked in regularly. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was fresh, delicious, and well priced. Cannot recommend enough! The staff are happy to make adaptations depending on preferences and food is prepared freshly. Such a wonderful restaurant!

One of the best Indian restaurants we've ordered from in London.
We ordered a Garlic chicken curry and Aaloo Saag. Both dishes were very delicious. I went there to collect my order, and the staff was very respectful, polite and friendly. 5 stars for food and hospitality.

The food was good but I personally didn’t think it was amazing, the service was friendly and attentive although we were the only people there (it was a Monday night). I thought it was a bit more expensive than it should be but we know prices have gone up in recent times, service charge was 12.5%, I think 10% would suffice for this location and restaurant.

Best Indian i've had in a while, real spice and fresh ingredients. Went for a half and half with jalfrezi and madras on my own rice and wasn't disappointed at all. Jalfrezi has a real kick to it (a proper kick iykyk) and has a few green chilies if you want to take it up a level. Note that this was a takeout and the bhajis and samosas come with pairs, as the listing wasn't clear if it was a single item.

Absolutely fantastic! What a find in my Brothers neighborhood. Delicious spices, every item cooked perfectly and a lovely, personable owner. Thank you for sharing dishes made from your secret family recipes!

Best food I’ve had in London! The service is also outstanding! The firecracker wings are spicy and very good! The garlic chicken, garlic naan, and pilau rice were delicious! I’ll be back :)

Ordered takeaway, food arrived hot and was delicious, the paneer was even marinated. Had heard good things, will definitely be ordering again!
Mitchell Brock
Amazing food. Been ordering for years. (10+) Never looked back. Well maybe once or twice but Aroma Spice is the best.
Jed Cordell

Outstanding!!
Three of us had dinner here last night and the food was simply fantastic!
We had poppadoms with chutney etc to start (poppadoms were tasty & crisp) then ordered the 'Tawa Garlic Chilli' dishes (2 chicken, 1 Prawn); each dish tasted beautifully fresh and authentic and as for the spices.... well our taste buds were going nuts! We even missed our film at the Everyman cinema up the road as the food was so delicious and we were having such a lovely evening we just didn't want to leave!
I must also mention our lovely waiter, I'm sorry I didn't catch his name but he gave us a really warm and courteous welcome and was attentive and informative throughout the evening.
Needless to say we won't be wasting our time going to any other Indian restaurant from now on.. oh, and they also do deliveries - dangerous! 😄

Food was absolutely amazing and the staff were super friendly. I didn’t eat in but noticed the surroundings were very nice/modern… Don’t live too close to this restaurant but would definitely make the trip. Very impressed. Thanks guys. Ian

Be very wary of ordering a delivery from here.. I ordered food from here last week and was told it would arrive in half an hour. An hour later, still no food. I rang up and was told they couldn't tell me whether or not the food had left the building. I told them we'd been told the food would arrive in half an hour and was told quite rudely that I should have taken that person't name then, Half an hour later and they said that all food had left the building and they were sure our order was on it's way. We waited just short of 2 and a half hours. The food finally arrived and the poppodoms were soft and the lamb tikka tough and inedible. When I rang up to complain I was told that Lamb tikka is supposed to be tough.<br/><br/>Rude shoddy service.

A return with much Aroma and Spice. I have been a local since Aroma Spice opened many years ago in 1999. It has always been by far the best indian restaurant in Hampstead if not North London.However after seeing the the exterior boarded up for a total of three months i was expecting the worse thinking that the owners may have gone under due to the financial fiasco we are all undertaking at the moment. I am happy to review that they are far from going under as they reopened last week with a bang.The restaurant has been redesigned and is now cool and modern, with a fabulous long bar in wood and granite, and yet it is relaxed, unlike many newly designed spaces that make you feel as though you have to be on your best behaviour and sit up straight! Soft jazz or blues on the speakers, candles, crisp white table linen and lilies - all creating a really calm and convivial atmosphere.<br/><br/>And the food! The menu has also undergone a revamp and whilst old favourites remain, there are some new dishes which are well worth trying. I had their Tandoori trout the other night and it was fantastic - the fish was delicately flavoured and cooked to perfection. One of my friends had a new signature dish, Kuko Koko Paka, which is a Nepalese chicken dish cooked with coconut and almonds in a mild creamy sauce. My daughter had Sag Gosht and said that the lamb was really tender and the dish was beautifully spiced. The last member of our party had that traditional British favourite, chicken tikka masala, and that too came in for high praise. At the end of our meal, we were presented with wooden skewers holding three strawberries dipped in dark chocolate - just hitting the right note after the spices. The quality of the ingredients is always excellent and the chefs Shiraz and Ashiq and all their team have made their cuisine an art form.<br/><br/>This is truly a family business now, as the owner's two sons have joined him in the business and they have had significant input in all the refurbishment works and the menu revamp. The service remains excellent, friendly and attentive without being pushy, and on top of all that, the prices are very reasonable and the restaurant offers marvellous value for money. Go visit - you'll love it!

Aroma Spice is a cosy, family-run curry house that prides itself on a red-hot, friendly service; the greeting that D and I received reminded me of a scene from Homeward Bound, when Shadow finally returns to his teary owner, Peter. Upon leaving the restaurant, we were showered with gifts, including a glass of wine, a shot of baileys, an espresso and a small cuboid of chocolate (each). This metaphorical sandwich clearly has good bread, so what about its filling?<br/><br/>Far from famished, D and I made a conservative Tuesday dinner-time order: 6 poppadoms to start (3 spicy, 3 plain), 1 x bhindi bhaji (okra), 1 x saag aloo (vegetables and potatoes), 2 x pilau rice, 1/2 x tandoori chicken and 1 x chicken bhuna to share. I have been to Aroma many times before, and my worthiest observation is that the food varies from 'fantastic' to 'pretty good', depending on factors that are unknown to me. In particular, Aroma has fed me some heavenly tandoori chickens in its time. On this occasion, the poppadoms were unremarkable and the tandoori chicken had perhaps been a little overcooked, as it didn't quite have the softness or spice of the aforementioned 'champion' chickens.<br/><br/>That said, the bhindi was and is consistently great, and if anything, the restaurant chef's had improved upon their original pilau rice recipe since the last time I had eaten there. The bhuna was delicious (but hellishly spicey- D had requested that it be cooked to a '10' on the scale, where 0 was mild and 10 was 'very hot'). <br/><br/>25 word tagline: highly recommended if you're looking for a decent Indian meal for £20-25 per head in a bustly, noisy environment in the north west london area.
