Opportunity for family to get together for birthday celebrations. Would recommend prebooking. The food was good however most of them were very hot I am from the Caribbean and enjoy my spices but unfortunately even for me the pepper was a bit challenging! The seating also was not the most comfortable for a party more than two. For parties more than two you were seated on what essentially was a sofa and you either ate with the food in your lap or on a centerpiece table bending forward! If your pilot enjoys extremely peppery food as in volcano hot you would enjoy. I am planning to go back a next time, however I will be telling them to reduce the pepper! The goat meat was very chewy!

I called Aroma in the morning to make sure they were open, and they confirmed that they were. Later that evening, I went there with my friends to celebrate my birthday. When we walked in, I noticed some birthday balloons, but I didn’t think much of it at first. I asked the hostess if we could be seated, but she just looked at us, confused. I then asked if there was a party going on, and she said yes. I asked again about seating, and she told us they were only offering outdoor seating. Since it was a little chilly, I asked my friends if they were okay with sitting outside or at least grabbing some drinks. Everyone agreed, but then she told us they weren’t serving drinks at that time. So I said, “Okay, we’ll just eat,” and asked if we could be seated outside. She looked at us like she didn’t

Update: 8/13/22 visit was surprisingly better than the initial visit; maybe because we went during the weekday. Nonetheless, our food came out hot and tasty and our server knew the menu well 3/5 stars for now. See pics of what we ordered: Pepper soup, Asún, pounded yam and Long Island Visited the restaurant for the first time on Friday July 22, 2022 with my boyfriend. We tried booking online but that feature doesn’t work, so we called the restaurant to try and reserve a spot only to be told that they were all booked and to walk in. We came early on Friday at 8pm to try and reserve a spot two hours in advance and was pretty much told if we weren’t purchasing a bottle and spending a minimum of $500, we couldn’t get a table- which I thought was pretty ridiculous. Apparently the Restaurant tu

I ordered my food, paid for my food online. received a confirmation email with pick up time...checked the website, the restoration says its open. drove to the restaurant the doors ar3 closed no lights, called the number given no answer, no customer server, no notice anywhere. I want my money back ASAP. this is just poor service all around. if you're closed let people know. I cant find the button to leave zero stars.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mira Yaache · Aug 2022

The ambiance is lovely, however the place is very very small and has an inefficient indoor floor plan, outdoor is a bit bigger. The food is avg $35/plate, the portions are not too big, not too smal and the food tastes just OK. Mandatory 18% gratuity added to bill. For party of 2 plan to spend around $150. The main reason that I'm giving it a 2/5 is because the service is HORRIBLE. We waited 30 minutes for someone to come take our order and we actually had to go find someone, they didn't come on their own. There were only 3 tables including ours, so they weren't even busy!! If you want to eat here: 1. Don't come when you are hungry because you will waittt and the food portions aren't very large. 2. When you arrive make friends with a waitress there and hope she gives you good service.
