Overview

Stumbling upon Indian Aroma in Whangārei was like finding a hidden gem – or maybe more like a mildly polished rock, depending on the day. Tucked away at 23-25 Vine Street, this Indian restaurant has made quite a name for itself, boasting a solid 4.0 out of 5 stars across 180 reviews. You know it’s a mixed bag when you hear both rave reviews and utter disappointments.

So, I popped by for a quick bite recently. When I walked in, the decor was a little on the drab side, but hey, I’m there for the food, right? I noticed they’ve got some options; dine-in, takeout, and even delivery. The service? Well, hit or miss. Some folks rave about the staff, while others are left scratching their heads, wondering if it’s a misunderstanding or just plain indifference.

Now, my order was straightforward—some veg curries and naans. I mean, who doesn’t love naan? But, surprise! One of my dishes came with dairy even after I specifically asked for vegan. Not so cool. A little communication goes a long way, you know?

Prices are generally friendly on the wallet, especially for takeout. But there’s chatter about some dishes not meeting expectations, a bit of inconsistency if you will. Some say the butter chicken leans more toward dessert than savory. Yikes!

But here’s the kicker: despite the complaints, there are plenty of happy customers too. People love the biryani, and you can’t argue with the crowd favorites. If you’re near there on a Tuesday or a Saturday, maybe give Indian Aroma a shot—just keep your expectations in check. A 50/50 chance of delight versus despair, I suppose!
