About Aroma Of India

Aroma Of India is a family-run restaurant located on Dundas Street in the Downtown neighbourhood of London, Ontario. It serves the local community by offering a unique combination of authentic Indian, Hakka Chinese, and Nepali cuisines. The restaurant emphasizes that all meat dishes are 100% Halal certified and are prepared fresh daily using local ingredients sourced from nearby growers and butchers. The menu features a wide variety of dishes across three distinct culinary styles. Indian offerings include slow-cooked curries, tandoori meats marinated overnight, and traditional dum biryani layered with saffron basmati rice. Notable Indian specialties include Butter Chicken, South Indian Dum Biryani, and various paneer and vegetable curries. The Hakka Chinese selection focuses on wok-fired dishes such as chilli chicken, Manchurian, and Hakka noodles. Additionally, the restaurant serves Nepali momos, which are hand-folded daily and served with a warm jhol broth. Customers can choose their preferred spice levels, ranging from mild to hot, and the kitchen provides vegetarian and vegan options upon request. The business describes itself as a family kitchen rooted in London, having started with a grandmother's handwritten spice book and a traditional copper karahi. The owners aim to cook the way they do at home, moving beyond standard cookbooks to share authentic flavors with the city. They highlight their commitment to "fresh over fast," preferring to take the necessary time to cook each dish to order rather than using heat lamps. Aroma Of India provides dine-in, takeout, and delivery services. Customers can also place orders online for convenient pickup or delivery.
