If you´ve been finding it difficult to locate a good curry house in Marbella, you are not alone! However, you will also be pleased to hear we have found this gem of a restaurant for you just 5 minutes from Marbella in Estepona at the El Pilar complex, located on the A7, opposite the Senator Banus Hotel.
Our restaurant reviewers, who are huge curry aficionados, have tried and tested over 55 Indian restaurants on the Costa del Sol, and this one came up trumps.
Aroma is a beautiful, white-walled, miniature Taj Mahal of a restaurant. Spotless, elegant and a relaxed dining space. With easy outside parking, set aback from the main road, you will always be greeted with a smile. The charming head of house at Aroma, Harry, recommended we go for the King Prawn Puree to start, which was divine. Our reviewers then went for the Crispy Fried Prawns and Bhaji to accompany – both were fantastic.
Elsewhere on the diverse menu are all the traditional Indian dishes you´d expect to find including Ladies Fingers, Tandori Mixed Grill, Biryanis and Samosas.
The main course selection was also fantastic taking over 5 pages of the vast Aroma Restaurant menu. The Chicken Tikka Massala, Chicken Korma and Lamb Madras were cooked to perfection. Unlike so may Indian´s on the coast, we had plentiful, large chunks of tender meat and sauce that was not fluorescent (praise the lord!) The rice was delicious, Sag Aloo good, although you can opt for without onions, as one of our reviewers found it a little onion heavy.
Aroma also has the added bonus of being a family friendly restaurant. They have a dedicated play area at the back of the restaurant so children can play with while you dine in peace. Great idea.
Aroma also hold regular live music nights. It is probably best to ring first on a weekend to see if you are in luck of attending one. If you prefer a quieter dining experience then these nights may not be for you.
There is also a huge chill out area located at the back of the restaurant if you want to come here for wifi, sports matches, a game of pool or a more relaxed meal with friends.
