Aromas of India - La Mesa, California

Delicious Indian cuisine and excellent service. We had chicken tikka masala and it was mild as requested and it’s served with basmati rice. We also enjoyed tandoori chicken, which was yummy dark meat. The plain naan was the perfect complement to the tikka masala sauce. The artwork is quite interesting (see pics) and the prices were reasonable. There is also an outdoor patio for special occasions. We will return the next time we are in the area.

Finally, a great Indian place with a luxury feel. I ordered the lamb curry, with a side of chilli's and onions and garlic naan.

I haven't had good lamb curry like this in a long time. Very delicious authentic recipe.

The atmosphere is so pretty and peaceful. The servers are so helpful and attentive.

Menu exhibits authentic food from Nepal, Punjabi, and South Asia. The chefs in the kitchen are all south and central Asian. I love to see that.

I went to the opening night and was able to try many of the dishes. Enjoyed them all 😋. The restaurant is easy to get to, off Baltimore and 8 freeway. Beautiful interior. Lots of menu choices. There's still many more dishes I'm excited to try in the future. Parking lot is adjacent.

I came from Los Angeles to explore San Diego which itself a beautiful city to explore and guess what I recently had the pleasure of visiting “The Aromas of India” with my family and I must say it was an unforgettable experience where technology and royalty mets together from the moment we stepped in, the ambiance set the tone for what would be an extraordinary interiors exude elegance and feels like a wow with a fine-dining vibe complemented by aesthetic details that make the space feel truly luxurious. The interiors are a perfect blend of royalty and modern aesthetics, making you feel like you’ve entered a fine-dining palace.
The food was absolutely delightful a perfect mix of Indian, Indo-Chinese, South Indian cuisine and fast-food delicacies. Each dish we tried, from the crispy samosas to the flavorful Indo-Chinese was cooked to perfection and bursting with authentic flavors that straight away took me to the homeland Mumbai 🚩🧡
What truly stood out was the unique futuristic touch – the robot that served us water and menus added an exciting element. The bar area was elegant, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was nothing short of luxurious.
The staff deserves a special mention for attending us so quick that each table has been inserted a “Silent Notifier Button” and just pressing that notifies server that we want something without raising hand or calling someone to assist. The server’s were impeccably dressed in professional uniforms, extremely courteous, and attentive to every detail, making us feel welcomed and valued.
A heartfelt thank you to the team behind this amazing restaurant for creating such a memorable experience. I highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a one of a kind ambiance. This place is a gem, and I’m sure it’s going to be the talk of the town very soon…

Attended the soft opening (January 2025) and the food is incredible (thank you, chefs)! We had the flavorful lentil soup, light/crispy garlic naan, sizzling chicken tikka, veg biryanis rice (filled with spices), and palak paneer (spinach & cheese). Also, was given a complimentary rice pudding (one of the best I’ve had). Everything was fresh, aromatic, and enriched our taste buds. The portions are large, so be prepared to take home leftovers. Looking forward to the grand opening February 5th! The servers were all attentive, gracious, and friendly. Will be going to Aromas of India regularly!
