Wow! What a great find! TLDR: If you are looking for tasty, authentic Indian cuisine in the Napa area, this is it! Very courteous staff, quick service and delicious flavors await any who visit! Note: the entrees don't come with rice so there is an additional charge for it, which was more expensive than I expected. The rest of the story: We popped into this place on New Year's Eve, after a quick trip to Napa. I was a little apprehensive when I saw the outside of the building but was pleasantly surprised by its tidy and welcoming decor inside and the friendly greeting we got from the staff. It was pretty quiet inside but there were a few other couples dining. The waiter seated us quickly and gave us a few minutes to review the menu. Soon we ordered the following dishes: Lamb biriani Goat vindaloo Chicken tikka masala Butter chicken Bullet naan Pizza naan After placing our order, the food was delivered to our table in about 15 mins and served piping hot. The lamb biriani presentation really blew us away! Unlike most Indian restaurants, it is not just brought in a bowl, this was served in a large, sloped bowl with a "top" of naan covering the bowl. The kicker is the naan was baked ON TOP OF THE BOWL! With some ceremony, the bowl was placed on the table and the server cut around the top with a knife and folded the top back to reveal the delicious dish underneath. It tasted just as good as it looked! All of the dishes were really well-seasoned. The meats were tender and prepared properly. If I had to nit-pick anything, the goat pieces had more gristle than I would have preferred but otherwise, everything was marvelous. We even started conversations with other diners in the restaurant who were equally impressed with the food and service. Well done! I will definitely be back!

We celebrated my father's 74th birthday at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and truly authentic. My Indian mother who has very high standards was very happy and impressed. Couldn't give a higher review than that!

Yvette B.
The staff was extra friendly and the food came quickly. The flavors were pronounced and the meats were tender. The decor was neat, clean and they played intriguing music. My lamb biryani was full of vegetables and tender lamb. All of my companions had a similar experience with their food. The other patrons were raving about their food! I highly recommend this restaurant.

One of my favorite Indian places to eat. It's a little pricey but if you can get their spicy goat curry you will not be disappointed. We often get their garlic naan too.

Great food and a nice family vibe. This is our go to in Napa for Indian food. The butter chicken is amazing.
Morgan G.
The food came out fresh and delicious. We ordered medium spiced Mixed Grill and Paneer Masala but we should have ordered mild because it was extremely spicy.. even for my spicy loving husband. The service however was lacking because we brought a bottle of wine to share with the table and we asked the server to open the wine and bring wine glasses for us. He was sitting behind the register texting instead of bringing us what we asked for and we waited about 15 minuets before he brought out the wine opener and handing it to one of our friends at the table. He also brought us champagne glasses instead of wine glasses. I think he just didn't know or was new. Other than that we really enjoyed the food and we had a great time! We will definitely come back!

This place rules. Go...just go. Some of the best Indian food had, and I've had it in India. All dishes were awesome and the Lamb dishes were also amazing, even my gf who doesn't like lamb enjoyed them.

We ate here on our first day in Napa. We are Indian American and felt confident ordering "medium" heat. Should have gone mild. The food was tasty but hot. Their cook is Punjabi, so stick with the north indian dishes on the menu.
Jean W.
OMG! I had such a wonderful surprise! I ordered a Vegtable Biryani! Rice and vegetables with just the right spice mix! served with a yogurt sauce! Presentation was for just wonderful! our waiter, Russle presented me with this bowl sealed pasty on top! Russel cut the pastry! and steam came out! the taste was just wonderful! As a vegetarian most of the time! I find it difficult to eat out! This di's was full of diverse and abundant vegetables! I highly recommend this dish and Aromas wonderful service ! It was so pleasant dine!

Do yourself a favor and try their lunch buffet! It's $23 but it's all you can eat and this is high-quality Indian food! So yummy... The naan is not in the lineup because they bring it to you fresh after you sit down! And you get a choice of garlic or plain. We were just so impressed and loved our waiter Russell. I hate cooked spinach, but I love sag paneer... Go figure! We tried something we hadn't had before and it was their mango chicken... really good. I have been to the new Indian restaurant in Napa and it was delicious, but just so expensive! They have really decorated this place nicely as well... Remember when it was a Mexican restaurant years ago?? The booths here have the most beautiful fabric, I just love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Tom B.

Really classy place to have Indian food if you're in the mood. This place is very clean and inviting. The chicken Tika missala was ok. It needed a bit more flavor. The samosa was really good, but the tamarind sause was a bit salty, and I was missing that sweat sour taste. Bathrooms are really clean.

Food here is great all the time .I love the spices and since I've learned the menu it wasn't hard for me to find a few newly favorited dishes. On a cold rainy night navratan korma hits the spot every time I like to add mushrooms but customer service here is excellent so makin additions or substitutions are never a issue ..
Duncan Lautze
Premium dinner. Great happy service from Deepu. 😃
Yvette Grace
The lamb biryani was presented in a dramatic and beautiful way! It was fail of tender lamb and vegetables. I was consistently amazed by the presentation and the taste!
Mahesh Ruta
Authentic Taste, excellent quality food. A pleasant surprise on our recent trip to Napa!!!
Julie Tan
Gopi is very personable and attentive and was ever ready to recover the little details that were missing or lacking. Food needed a little attention to detail: Chai was a little lacking in milk and took a long time to come back out after my husband sent it back for a redo. The butter chicken needed that little drizzle of cream on the top. The goat biryani was excellent and the presentation was very creative. All in all, a very good lunch.
