"The food is seriously delicious. It's hard to find good Indian food in the Napa area, but this is by far the most delicious place! I'm obsessed with their tikka masala and their garlic naan bread, with the saffron rice. Highly recommend."
4.5 stars! Aroma Indian in downtown Benecia has a hidden secret--a beautiful patio in the back of the restaurant perfect for outdoor dining! On one wall of the patio was a mural of the Taj Majal, which was a beautiful backdrop for the Indian dining experience! To start, we ordered the Samosa Chaat, and when our server brought it out, I could hardly believe my eyes--it was an absolutely GIGANTIC portion of chopped samosas topped with chickpeas, potato chunks, chopped tomatoes, puffed rice, rice crackers, chana dal, sev (chickpea noodles), and tamarind chutney! The first few bites of this dish were a bit dry, and it felt like something was missing. So I asked our waiter for sides of their gree...
Indian Shrimp Fajitas? That 's what I first thought when they came to our table. They even come our sizzling like they would if you were at a Mexican Restaurant!! I have had the Tandoori Chicken before and I thought it was amazing. So I figured, Why not try the Shrimp? I 'm pleased to say that it was just as delicious as the Tandoori Chicken was the first time. I also got the Medium spiciness and boy was it spicy!! I even eat spicy food on the regular and that was pretty spicy. So that 's just a tip to anyone who is trying to figure out how spicy they want their food. The taste of the Tandoori Shrimp was also very similar to the Chicken. It had a great bold and spicy taste with the shrimp bu...
I was thinking of a place to have dinner for Easter Sunday, preferably on the healthy side...and automatically thought of this place which I haven't tried yet! Sometimes I forget that Benicia actually has some great restaurants, and I believe half of them I haven't even tried yet. S E R V I C E: Parking was almost too easy, and my family and I got seated right away. The waiter gave us enough time to look through the menu, and we didn't have to wait a long time to get our food. He filled our waters periodically and I thought it was nice when he asked if we were ready for the main course while he took our appetizer plates away. F O O D: They have two kinds of samosas, the regular one and the o...
I've been here quite a few times in person for dinner or lunch, and each time has been fantastic. The food is always amazing, extremely flavorful, and extremely filling. My most recent take-out experience was no exception. I had ordered a couple appetizers and entrees for a small family event; the restaurant was out of a particularly delicious naan and although they called to substitute, I missed the call. When I got there, we worked out a substitute and within a few minutes I had my order ready to go! The amazing part of this experience was the customer service. I waited only about 5 minutes tops for the substitute naan, but was given a tasty snack (an appetizer I hadn't every tried before)...

A great Indian Cuisine. You want Indian food? This is one I recommend A cute little mom and pops Restaurant. A very friendly and quiet place. They offer a buffet or you are welcome to order from the menu. I love love the Chicken Tikka Masala, it goes very with basmati rice or with naan bread. Which I could not get enough of that it. Yumm! The price is not bad at all for the amount of food you get. They didn't seem to have dessert at the buffet which would not be a bad idea to have it there. But it is on the menu. The server which I also think is family Sis not speak English well so it was a little hard to communicate but that's how you know the food is authentic : .
I have ordered for pick up a couple times now and am satisfied with the food and level of service. My fave items are the Samosa Chaat, lamb Vindaloo, and gobhi Manchuri. For the gobhi unfortunately since it is a To go order you won't be able to get the crispiness of the fried cauliflower since it's sitting in the sauce. I like to order spicy which is perfect for me. I have enjoyed their other items as well. You can't go wrong. One day when they start offering it again I hope to try their lunch buffet.
A couple of friends of mine went here and I ordered a plate to go to try it at home, I got the paneer masala when you order the meal it does NOT come with rice or naan- that is an entire separate order so don't make the same mistake I did and think it is included. Not bad of Indian food for the area and i will probably go back to check out the atmosphere. Also relatively priced, average, not too expensive and not cheap either
Horrible quality. Just ordered via doordash and I threw away the meal. Chicken tandoori was hard like plastic which means they microwaved leftover chicken. It's unacceptable. Chicken tikka masala was cold and watery. It's like they threw in the cream without bothering to even heat it up. Naan was burnt. Maybe people that don't eat desi food fall for these short cuts but shame on this place for representing this as food.

The naan bread is a hit with my family! I love the soups, rice, and all the tasty options on the menu. They can customize the heat level to your liking. (I prefer mild, but my husband enjoys spicy). Every dish is consistently well-prepared.
