Aroma Fine Indian Cuisine - Arlington

The restaurant Aroma in Shirlington is no longer in business. I went there yesterday only to find that the storefront has disappeared.

Initially, we were warmly greeted and escorted to our table. However, the waiter who seated us was very rude to other guests who arrived after us. It was uncomfortable to witness such behavior, and there was a lack of respect shown to these potential customers. I understand there may be a shortage of staff, which can be hectic and stressful. However, when customers inquire about wait times, there should always be a professional and polite response. The food was decent but nothing outstanding. I was also disappointed by the automatic 20% tip added to the bill. If the service and food had been exceptional, I wouldn't have minded. Unfortunately, this was not the case. We will not be returning and recommend dining elsewhere.

The staff was so nice! The server made us laugh a few times and was very helpful in making dining choices.The atmosphere has a very chill/relaxing vibe.

The restaurant has a different name on online ordering platforms. The portions were extremely small for the price, only about 1.5 cups in a container for $17.95 each. One dish was overly spicy, even though it was ordered as medium spice, making it difficult to taste the other flavors. Overall, the meal was not filling or enjoyable.

Use to go there often even though no one else did and place was always empty but still went to coz it’s close by. but recently my dad and I tried to go and even before we sat the owner came to us and said there is a $35 min per person. Very strange . No wonder no one ever goes. Food is ok not bad
