Aroma of india — Restaurant in Junction City

Public Service Announcement – Please Read Before Dining Here

If you care about your health and safety, I strongly advise against eating at Aroma of India in Junction City.

I have already submitted a detailed report of repeated and serious health code violations to Lane County Health & Human Services, but have received no response. Because of this, I feel it’s important to warn the public directly.

What I personally witnessed includes: • Raw chicken left unrefrigerated for hours in an 80°F+ kitchen. • Chicken marinating directly on the kitchen floor. • Cooked chicken left out on counters to cool with no refrigeration or monitoring. • Cross-contamination risks (raw and cooked food stored together). • Employees taking food handler certification tests on behalf of others. • Triple sink misuse, including raw poultry soaking where dishes are washed. • Ants and even a live cockroach in the dry storage area. • Produce and dry goods stored directly on dirty floors. • General lack of cleanliness and sanitation.

These are not isolated incidents, but ongoing unsafe practices that directly violate Oregon Food Sanitation Rules. This is not a matter of opinion—it’s about public health.

Until this restaurant undergoes a full inspection and corrective measures are taken, I cannot recommend eating here. Please protect yourself and your family.

I’ve been to this spot several times before and the food was always great, which is why it’s disappointing to leave this kind of review. That said, I feel it’s fair to share my recent experience.

The blonde-haired cashier has always had a bit of a sassy, off-putting vibe that makes the place less welcoming. It’s been noticeable on multiple visits and does affect the overall atmosphere.

On my last visit, I called in an order and was told it would be ready in about 25 minutes. I arrived around 30 minutes later, but still ended up waiting an additional 40 minutes after that — nearly an hour total. It was frustrating, but I stayed calm.

Unfortunately, when I got home, the Lamb Biryani had a strong soapy taste (not to mention the spoiled Raita that I threw out), and I’ve never had a more bland dish than that Goat Vindaloo.

I haven’t been back since, but I may give it another try in the future and will update this review if the...

On my last visit a couple of months ago, I called in an order and was told it would be ready in about 25 minutes. I arrived around 30 minutes later, but still ended up waiting an additional 40 minutes after that — nearly an hour total. It was frustrating, but I stayed calm.

After looking at how the owner responds to the other negative reviews I am not going to be returning to this place. It seems the quality of the food and service has taken a nose dive and all the owner does is make...
