The Bandra outlet is serving the 'All You Can Eat' breakfast menu from 7:00 AM To 11:00 AM, which is definetly their must try.

I started with "Premium/White Teas".In this they have varieties like : White Tea Saffron Spice,De-Tox Tea & Darjeeling Tea.I tried the "White Tea Saffron Spice".Its made with delicate white tea,clove,cinnamon,ginger,star anise,cardamom,natural extract of saffron.Saffron is a good source of antioxidents.

Later on had some fresh "Watermelon Juice" which is good for health & "Watermelon Mojito".Its made of fresh mint leaves,fresh watermelon slices,light rum such as Bacardi,simple syrup,fresh squeezed lime juice.

Eggs Kejriwal - An all time favorite dish made with toasted burger buns topped with a runny fried egg and smoothered with green chutney flavored cream cheese sauce.

As a starter dish i had "Stroganoff".In this there are two varieties : Veggie & Chicken.I ordered for "Veggie Stroganoff".Its made by roasted veggies tossed in a rich cream sauce served with pimento rice.

Pimento Rice : Its made using butter,sweet onion,long-grain white rice,can vegetable broth,water,garlic powder,salt,pinch of cayenne pepper, mayonnaise,shredded sharp cheddar cheese,jar diced pimentos, drained.

Pimentos start out in life as a variety of chili pepper called “cherry peppers.” Small and red (hence the name), they are sweeter than bell peppers and very mild, with the lowest Scoville scale rating of all the chilies.

In salads i had "Arrabiata"(Without Chicken) & "Classic Waldorf Salad". Arrabbiata sauce, or sugo all'arrabbiata in Italian, is a spicy sauce for pasta made from garlic, tomatoes, and dried red chili peppers cooked in olive oil. ...

Aroma's Cafe & Bistro - Tantalize Your Taste Buds... Soulful Soothing Food at Aroma's Cafe & Bistro- Relax, Unwind and Enjoy

Aroma's Cafe & Bistro is a very elegant enthralling cafe.  In 2009 this leading Australian coffee chain ventured into the Indian Market. This cultured coffee shop with stylish decor has multiple chains across the city and recently I had the opportunity to visit its Bandra West outlet in Mumbai. The entrance had a lovely welcome garden arched gate with a small quaint outdoor hangout zone for friendly chitter chats. The indoor ambiance here was a unique style of European Coffee house with a high and low rise comfortable seating areas. There was enough space between tables to give privacy to groups, couples, friends, etc... in the main dining area. There was even a segregated space for small parties, gatherings, and get-togethers. The entire restaurant space has been smartly utilized and I found the ambiance to be really pleasing to the eyes.

Aroma's serves cuisines like Continental, Italian, American, Mexican along with a wide range of desserts and beverages which has been tempting, scrumptious, & palatable. It has a very extensive detailed menu ranging from - best of coffee including 18 original blends, exotic teas, Breakfast Menu, Unlimited Breakfast Buffet, All – day dining. The service is quick and the staff was friendly too. The cafe attracts a trendy affluent casual crowd. The only drawback of this cafe I felt was that all of this comes at a high price and the quantity is still for 1 serving portion. You can instead go for their unlimited breakfast buffet which is a great option to choose.

Now coming to food this is what I tried:

Aglio Olio Pepperoncini 5*/5 Rs 449 Perfectly cooked spaghetti tossed in Bell peppers, black olives, garlic, oregano,chilli flakes and parmesan cheese. I loved the taste of this particular dish, it was simple but yet had such amazing flavors. Even the slices of Garlic bread were delicious. Highly Recommended!

Aromas Own Pasta Rs 449 4.5*/5 Mixed fresh Exotic veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, oregano, chilli flakes, tossed in a chef's special red sauce garnished with parmesan cheese and basil leaves. The penne pasta was cooked to perfection and the taste/texture of the sauce was also excellent. I liked it but it wasn't anything unique. Recommended!

Veg Submarine Rs 399 4*/5 A wholesome sandwich with a crispy veg patty, freshly baked herb bread, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, lettuce and pesto mayo spread with salad, fries and ketchup. Good in taste.

Exotic Teas 5*/5 I would recommend trying their exotic teas, it's very relaxing and soothing.

Watermelon Juice Rs 199 5*/5 Very refreshing fresh watermelon juice.

My Experience:

Taste: Amazing Staff: Well trained & Friendly Hygiene: Excellent Service: Good Quality: Excellent Quantity: 1 serving portions Type: Cafe Home Delivery: Available Food Presentation: Great Ambiance: Excellent & chic Seating: Comfortable Crowd: Trendy Wheelchair Accessible Entrance Price: Expensive + Taxes Parking: Valet *Great for Desserts *Great for breakfast, unlimited breakfast buffet, exotic tea, and coffee *Great for Italian Overall Value for Money: 4.5/5 (Overall the restaurant has a very relaxing classy ambiance, excellent food but the prices are too high with only single-serve portions...

Aromas Cafe & Bistro Opened at Bandra Presume Mid January 2019. Impressed by the sitting and the positive feel of the place. It's spacious. Has a small Room where in one can have a kitty party or a get together for 18/20 Pax. Overall lovely place. Presume this is their 8th Outlet in Mumbai. Cafe basically which also serves American/Mexican and Italian Food. Known for some good shakes and waffles.

This is what we tried yesterday: Premium Berry shake (thick/rich / creamy) Asked for the mixed berry which had Strawberry/Blueberry. Consists of vanilla and rich Berry Pulp. Overall good. Ice Dark Forest Mocha is a drink which one needs to keep in mind - Basically dark chocolate/Coffee topped with whipped cream and garnish of cherry. Lemon Iced tea went well.

French Fries - Mandatory to try this. Could have been better. Maybe 20 odd seconds in the oil and it would have been a proper crunchy one. For me this was a bit of a miss. A minutes passed this became soggy (chefs, please look into it) this is the basic and many judge your food by just trying this simple yet delicate dish.

Mushroom On Toast - wow this was perfect. Rich. Aromatic (herbs) Basically French Baguette topped with Garlic flavoured sautéed mushrooms with herbs. A bit of Emmental cheese and cream. Garnish of microgreens. Perfect texture and balanced well.

Aussie Roasted Potato and Radish Salad (new on the menu) this was comfort with a mustard dressing .Roasted Potatoes with skin, grated radish and mixed lettuce. A bit of honey and Mustard dressing as well. Nice portion try it.

Loaded Mexican Nachos - Aromas is known for its yummy nachos. Nothing has changed. Just perfect. Nachos cheese at the bottom topped with crispy homemade nachos chips topped with another layer of cheese / tomatoes / scallions and sour cream. Beans at the bottom though I would have loved Mexican beans. This was served with Salsa. Nicely done. Must try.

Lamb Kibbeh (new) this is basically a traditional Turkish dish. Lamb mince spiced with lovely herbs topped with spicy tomato chutney and greens. Had the lamb been Binded more would have enhanced the dish. Can't say it was dry but nothing wow about it.

Honey Chilli Chicken skewers - texture looked amazing. Sheen and glaze was good. However missed the Honey and the chilli punch or the combination of both. Peanut Butter Aioli went well. After a couple of bites the taste becomes monotonous. (Chefs, please look into this)

Gunpowder Calamari (new) No sheen no glaze, blend. Not crispy. A complete miss for me.

Aromas own Pasta - Sauce was a bit on the lines of Pink sauce (still don't understand how the word PINK is used) could have been better. Was not al Dente. Done well. Texture messy and sticky though I did like the sauce. Maybe a bit less of sauce would have done the trick.

Prawns Malaysian Curry - loved it. Flavour/texture/punch. Just perfect. Nice balance of galangal/chilli/turmeric/ginger and coconut milk. Smooth and rich. Went well with rice. This is comfort food at its best. Do try. Medium sized prawns were done well. Nice balance.

Dessert: Rum and Raisin gateaux - DRY. No comments.

Overall - a bit of fine tuning required. Just tweaks here and there. Service was perfect. Will visit soon. Open all day. Morning 8 onwards. They are also known for their...
