Aroma's Hyderabad House — Restaurant in Maharashtra

I have always ordered Biryani from Aroma's Hyderabad House Online. But, this time we thought of visiting the Pimple Saudagar outlet and try out some other dishes too.

📍Ambience - To my surprise, this place was not at all maintained. Very poor hygiene. We could see their kitchen as soon as we entered and after seeing it, all our mood of dining here vanished. Also the lights were very dull, almost dark you can say. But we still planned to continue as the food served here is good in taste.

📍Food - We ordered below dishes :

🔸Masala Papad - Papad was bit Oily but good in taste. It was topped with Onion, tomato and coriander.

🔸Chicken Lollipop - Nicely served. Lollipop was crisp and had proper Chinese taste to it.

🔸Veg Hyderabadi - There were no vegetables in it. They used all the ingredients they used to prepare veg/paneer biryani in it. We were really disappointed with the gravy.

🔸Roti - Roti were properly cooked and served hot.

🔸Aroma special Chicken Dum biryani - Biryani was bit spicy and had boneless chicken peices. Biryani was not at all dry and tasted good. It was served with red gravy and curd raita.

🔸Aroma special Kaju Biryani - It's a good veg  Biryani option. The rice was very well cooked, had lots of Kaju in it. This too was bit spicy. But overall it tasted fine.

📍Overall rating - 3/5. My 3 stars only for the food. Rest Ambience, hygiene and service is very very poor and need...

Aroma Biryani offers a delightful culinary experience that captures the essence of traditional Indian cuisine. Upon entering, the inviting ambiance, characterized by warm decor and the rich, tantalizing scent of spices, sets the stage for a memorable meal.

The menu boasts a diverse range of biryanis, each prepared with precision and a perfect balance of spices. The Hyderabadi Biryani, a standout, features tender, flavorful pieces of chicken or mutton, meticulously layered with fragrant basmati rice. The blend of saffron, caramelized onions, and fresh herbs creates a symphony of flavors that is both robust and nuanced.

Vegetarian options are equally impressive. The Vegetable Biryani, rich with seasonal vegetables and subtly spiced, ensures that non-meat eaters are not left wanting. Accompaniments such as raita and salan enhance the overall dining experience, providing creamy and spicy contrasts respectively.

Service at Aroma Biryani is prompt and attentive, with staff demonstrating a commendable knowledge of the menu and a willingness to customize dishes to cater to individual preferences. Pricing is reasonable, considering the quality and portion sizes.

Overall, Aroma Biryani delivers an authentic and satisfying dining experience, making it a must-visit for biryani enthusiasts and lovers of Indian...

Here's a quick summary of the biryani and dishes we tried:

Paneer Tikka Biryani: Taste: 4/5 Portion: 5/5

Aromas Special Chicken Biryani: Taste: 3.5/5 Portion: 5/5

Mughlai Biryani: Taste: 4/5 Portion: 5/5

Spicy Chicken Tandoor: Taste: 4/5 Portion: 4/5

Chicken Tikka Biryani: Taste: 4/5 Quantity: 4/5

The taste across all the dishes was consistently good, mirroring the quality you'd expect from other branches. However, I must mention that the restaurant itself left something to be desired. There was a noticeable odor upon entering, and the interior appeared old and damaged. Given these conditions, I would recommend ordering takeout (parcel) rather than dining in, specifically for this branch.

Regarding the biryani choices, the Hyderabadi mutton biryani in the non-veg category was well-prepared, with tender meat. On the other hand, the Aroma's Special Kaju Biryani in the vegetarian category exceeded expectations, boasting a rich flavor, possibly even outshining the mutton biryani.

In summary, while the taste of the dishes remains a strong point for this branch, the restaurant's condition may not make it the most appealing place to dine in. However, the quality of their food, particularly the Kaju Biryani, makes it a worthwhile option for takeout...
