Aroma Indian Restaurant & Lounge is Port Moody’s go-to spot for authentic, flavour-forward Indian food, with a cosy lounge vibe that keeps locals coming back. Open since 2016, Aroma is known for its wood-fired tandoor cooking and a menu that balances traditional recipes with a few inventive twists. If you want reliably good butter chicken or a memorable dining-out curry, this is the place I tell friends about.

Their menu covers classic starters, mains and desserts with clear portion sizes. Expect dishes like Punjabi Butter Chicken, Rogan Josh, Malai Kofta and a signature Lamb Boti Kebab, all portioned for sharing or solo meals. Vegetarian options are substantial, not afterthoughts, including Paneer Tikka, Chana Masala and a seasonal vegetable curry. They also offer a lunch buffet on weekdays, a selection of freshly baked naan varieties, and a small but well-curated drinks list including Indian beers and mango lassi. The restaurant seats about 60 people, making it suitable for family dinners or small group celebrations.

What sets Aroma apart is how they cook and serve. Chefs trained in northern Indian techniques operate the tandoor in view of the dining room, so you can see naan puffing up and meat charring to order. Service is friendly and attentive; staff know the menu and routinely suggest spice levels and pairings. Meals arrive on warmed plates, and the kitchen will adjust vegetarian or spice requests without fuss. They also cater private events and offer takeout through their website for quick pickup.

Aroma is a neighbourhood staple in Port Moody, supporting local festivals and catering school and office gatherings. People choose it for dependable flavours, honest portion sizes, and a relaxed lounge atmosphere that suits both date nights and family meals.
