Reviews of Royal Aroma (Restaurant)

Kenny Taylor

Royal aroma is THE BEST place for curry. What I do is buy the curry sauce at Royal aroma, take it home and make baked curry chicken. The curry sauce costs 10.50 and you can get 6 to 8 chicken legs for about 5 to 6 bucks. Cook up some rice and enjoy a curried chicken on rice. If chicken is not your thing, use beef, lamb or even veggies. This is a cheap way of having a great meal.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Always get the right amount of plates when I order. 5/5 best indian restaurant on the island.

Ruth McIntosh

Excellent food. The flavours were superb. Everything was fabulous. They didn’t have enough servers on at the time, so the service was slow, but well worth the wait.

Jamin Stocks

Excellent! Fast and delicious, staff suggested a dish that was so good we had to make an effort to stop and breath ???? Do not overlook this gem!

Incredibly good Indian food. Excellent service. We stayed near Campbell river 4 nights and ate at Royal Aroma 2 nights because it was so good. Try the tandoori items!

Ofri Livneh

We ordered take out, when we got home and eat it it was BIG disappointment ! Food was watery and tasteless, we contacted the restaurant saying how disappointed we are, letting them know we are not going to be ordering their food or dine in as we are extremely disappointed, the response was that they are sorry and we should let them know next time we are planning to order… very odd response. Sad, We will not come back to Royal Aroma.

Violet Crawley

Ordered some vegetarian dishes, Dal Bukhara and Dal Tadka, appies and rice. They were all amazing , very aromatic and fresh flavours! Will be back for more

Staff, food, atmosphere are incredible. Everytime we have come whether only adults or with children, there is something for everyone! As a vegetarian I am grateful for the deliciously large selection! Best tandoori!

Mo Moshiri

This is our second time here, and we love it! Staff is very personable and genuinely friendly, the food is fresh and very tasty, and there are plenty of choices. We love Indian food and Royal Aroma competes with the best of them. 100% recommended by our family. Well done!

KD Pirahna

Delicious, friendly staff. No complaints. Had the Malay Kosta, and Shahi paneer.

Kevin Defoy

This is a lovely restaurant! I got pakora, lamb mango curry a side of naan and rice, with a Peshawari naan for dessert. All were delicious. Although the pakora were slightly salty, so if you are sensitive to salt maybe try something else from their amazing menu. I especially loved the lamb mango curry as it was slightly sweet and had a wonderful aroma, truly Royal ;). I will definitely return!

Kent Macaulay

I keep returning to Royal Arima because their good is fabulous every time.

Alana Stacy

I came in tonight, Monday feb 1st, and ordered take out. I cannot even begin to describe the incredible smell and the wonderful, welcoming atmosphere inside. The portions are huge! Everything tasted soooo good. I highly recommend coming here!!! We will definitely be back!

Jack Goertz

The paneer was so good and the curds squeek. We had to order more naan because the curries came with so much sauce and it was so good.

Miw Holmes

Great Indian food. I was really happy finding this restaurant. Will definitely come back soon :) I highly recommend this place!

Sonal Jain

We liked the food here, recommend it!!

Andrea Stock

I always have an amazing meal here, I try something different each time. I love the service and I must recommend the lamb biriyani and the tomato coriander soup with a side of garlic naan to dip in it. Also the Royal Mix plate is a great way to start off your meal. Mango Lassi for dessert too!

sandeep jaswal

Bengül Kurtar

First time I had visited this restaurant. Their Malai kofte was so delicious????

Ed Morte

Absolutely delightful cuisine! ,They do exquisite North Indian fares that are out of this world. I highly recommend any sparkling white wine or Riesling to go with your dish of choice. Don't miss this gem here in Campbell River!????

Rick McKown

Had a delicious meal tonight at the Royal Aroma, our first visit but hopefully not our last - well worth future visits to explore their menu! The food was very tasty and nicely presented, and the service was very kind and friendly. Many variations of different Indian dishes, each with a variety of meats, as well as veggie options.

Garrett Gosselin

Great food and friendly service! Our server was really accommodating of our dairy free needs. She suggested a deep fried cauliflower appetizer, which turned out to be my favourite. We were only in Campbell River for two days but we ate there twice. Highly recommend it.

imchetann !

Being a CHEF myself, highly impressed with food and service of this place. "If you are in town and looking for some Indian food MUST try here". You got a happy customer, thank you and great job guys.????

Paula Nicolau

At Royal Aroma we had a great time! Food is delicious and the size of the plates is generous. It's a quiet space and the personnel is very nice. It can get a bit busy for dinners at prime time, but nothing crazy. I will definitely come back for a fabulous meal.

valerie marchand

The east Indian food here is excellent and the staff are very friendly and service great.

Diego Christiansen-Barker

Great food but had their phone ringing twice rlly annoying lol.

Elizabeth Mileen Wilson

Great atmosphere, clean, and solid covid protocols. The food was phenomenal, we had potato stuffed naan, butter paneer and shahi paneer. Well rounded, flavorful and exactly what we wanted. We'll definitely return.

Amrit Kaur

We went to this restaurant last week and food was delicious and fresh. Ordered dal makhni, panner and tandoori roti So very happy

Evan S

One of the pieces of naan bread had blue mold on it, didn't get much meat in proportion to the amount of sauce. Never ordering from here again

princy bathla

Awsome food.. very friendly owner.. If you visit here, then do try Stuff Mushroom .. that is the best thing to eat... Mushroom ???? mushroom ????...The best place visited in the 4 months trip to British Columbia.. they covered extra miles to satisfy customers.. requested them to make chowmein and manchurian though that was not in the menu, and there we get that food.. amazing ❤️❤️ highly highly recommended.. must visit for the Indian cuisine...here is an glimpse of Paranthas...

Andrew Cumming

I was BLOWN AWAY by this place. "Royal Aroma" couldn't describe it better--everything we ordered was fragrant and delicious and the food can stand up to any of the better Indian restaurants I've been to in Vancouver. My wife and I moved to Campbell River a month ago and honestly it is the best dining experience we've had here so far. The service was great too. If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Try the Lamb Nawabi and the homemade Ras Malai, you won't be disappointed!

Jen Fyfe

This place is excellent. One of our favorite spots. The food is always delicious and the service is so warm and welcoming. If you haven’t eaten here yet, for sure go. If you have, then already know! They are doing take out and patio right now with the covid restrictions. Make sure to support our local restaurants right now. I sure hope this one survives, it’s so good.

Naveen K Shah

It's a fantastic restaurant awesome food and familiar staff love to come again.

Super friendly service. Lots of delicious vegetarian choices. Warm and inviting decor/music. Their naan is amazing. I’m never disappointed by Royal Aroma!

Jalo Kuiper

Honestly the best Indian Cuisine on North Vancouver Island. If you love curry, you will love this place. This is a must try! Edit: This is the best Indian food I have ever had.

Karen Garcia

Great menu! Delicious food, but it was as odd that none of the mains included rice. As well, we got takeout and there were no utensils or even napkins. Certainty not a deal breaker, but it works have been a great demonstration of customer care.

Elizabeth Hadfield

Really tasty food and fast service for take out. Highly recommend.

Roman Krzaczek Quadra Island Cortes Island and Cam

Xavier Amadeus

Best takeout I have ever had. I will never overnight in CR without ordering from this lovely place. Ordered the Tikka Masala (lamb), Biryani (prawn), Paneer Pakora, and garlic Naan. All were spectacular. Seriously friends, I am putting a note on my hotel room door so I don't forget it in the fridge. I have enough to last me through the weekend!

Jashanbir Singh

Good quality, nicely cooked chicken.

Scott Gordon

I've eaten it many Indian restaurants Indian food being my favorite this is the worst Indian restaurant I've ever gone to. I just placed a take out order of fish pakora which is tasteless dry fried batter with no fish and also I ordered lamb masala which is flavorless poor quality rice. When I place the order the lady said it would be 20 minutes so I waited in the restaurant. The food was ready in 5 minutes clearly had no chance for any kind of flavor to build. New to town will never go back. Haven't spoken with the manager she defended her staff saying that's the way they cook their food and 5 minutes is more than enough time to make a meal from scratch and that the pakora is crispy because their regular patrons like the pakora to be cooked very very well. Unfortunately there was no fish inside the batter to be cooked very very crispy. I requested my money back she chuckled and said no she would not do that.

amanpreet kaur

I went to this place several times before but this time it was the most worst experience ever. Food served was too old. It tastes sour and after coming back had really bad stomach pain. Won’t recommend this place. Won’t going back ever in my life.

Matt Kertesz

Excellent food and great service. We look forward to seeing Aman each weekend

Ramandeep Singh

Mrs Widen

Had the rice and chicken Very spicy and delicious ! Amazing atmosphere and service’ . 10/10 would recommend!

Umed Gill

Traveling here from Ontario and our friend recommended Royal aroma....definitely not happy!!!! Ordered malai Tikka and got dry chicken Tikka Masala instead.....posting pictures of their menu describing malai Tikka and what we got. If someone who doesn't know indian food ordered it they won't notice the difference but unfortunately those who love indian food do. You guys have to do better....not acceptable at all!!!! Stop ripping people off ????????????????

Kiera Brown

The food is fantastic and the staff are very kind. The menu is great for those who have little experience with Indian cuisine as it give thorough descriptions of each item. The only negative is the staff are slightly pushy on asking people to submit a review, which made me feel slightly awkward. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Jacob Vandort

I'd heard for years from friends who live in Campbell River that Royal Aroma was one of the best restaurants in town. We went tonight and had a great meal. The server was helpful and her menu recommendations were excellent. The food arrived quickly and was amazing. We noticed that they were filling a large amount of take-our orders, so they must be a local favorite.

Ritu Pandey

I would like to thank you for your excellent service. I'd love to visit there again. I feel very satisfied with taste and quality of food. I loved the food and the customer service was amazing. The server was so friendly and polite. Thanks for such an amazing service and food. Made my day. I will recommend it to everyone.

Wendy Woodrow

My husband and I Love Indian food and have experienced it first hand in India as well as Kuwait on many occasions and this was simply delicious! We asked for things that were not in the menu the day before we were to visit and the lovely people called us back to ensure the chef of the day could prepare it for us and they did beautifully. Everything was above standard including the service. We preordered our mains and chose other food on arrival as well and could not have been happier. The atmosphere is basic as we like to say cheap and very cheerful. We will be going back and thank you for making us feel so special with the complimentary desert for our anniversary. Best Indian rest on North Vancouver island to be sure!!! A gem of a find ww

Nitika bansal

I cannot state more clearly how delightful our experience was at the Royal Aroma! The food was divine, the service was close to perfection and the patio ambience was as desired. I would recommend a visit to locals, tourists, travellers, and all sorts. I hope to be back here soon. In fact, I can’t wait :)
