Sometimes it can be rewarding when we break out of the comfort zone and try out something new. That's the experience from Aroma's where I tried few dishes for the first time. Heeding the recommendations of the manager who suggests a balance of 'wet' and 'dry' dishes, we had these that totally surprised us in a pleasant way:
GOBI 65 ($10) - deep fried cauliflower that's encased in a thin crispy batter.
CHICKEN MALAI TIKKA ($14.90) - chicken that's marinated in yogurt, cashew nut paste, spices, fresh cream and BBQ-ed in a clay oven. Very moist, tender and flavorful, though some might find the taste slightly heavy. Non-spicy.
MUTTON ROHAN JOSH ($15.50) -- star dish of our meal. Not a fan of mutton but this literally made me a convert. Thanks to the 4-hour long slow cooking process, the mutton here is melt-in-your-mouth without any gamey taste. Definitely not the usual mutton curry elsewhere.
Instead of biryani, we had garlic cheese naan and lacha paratha, of which we prefer the latter as it reminded us of scallion oil pancake -- flaky and aromatic.
Overall the dishes we had were at most, mildly spicy. If you are lost at what to order, I think the manager would gladly help to recommend and even share the stories behind. A hidden gem indeed in Little India, best to gather more ppl to try more dishes in a sitting.
