Aromas

What a lovely surprise to find this pleasant lunch spot in the Department of Forestry building. The service was extra attentive, and the food was excellent. My felafel salad had felafel that had the perfect amount of crunch on the outside and a delicately seasoned center. I would definitely recommend a trip to Aromas.

I love this place! I brought a couple friends and we all enjoyed the experience- the food was delicious and the service was excellent- attentive and accommodating. I had the Mezza Trio- hummus, baba gannouge, dolmas, and pita. It was so good I ordered Salmon Charmoula and Falafel to take home for dinner- yummy!!

Just terrible. You walk in and are immediately put at ease by the very charismatic owner - you order some things, he makes suggestions and is very attentive, very chatty, always talking a lot. The food takes a long time to come. It is pretty good, but also a bit too expensive all things considered. Then the bill comes and it is egregious. The house special the owner "suggested" was $10 more than anything listed on the menu. The entire receipt is itemized and every drink, every dish has the same name "SPECIAL" and the price next to it. The owner suddenly switches to being absent and then extremely rude when you try to talk to him about the receipt. He does not help with figuring out what each item ordered was. He says they do not do separate checks. This guy is a crook. He pulls you in, is very chatty and over the top and tricks you into ordering a very expensive meal, creates a receipt system that makes it difficult to realize just how much he screwed you over, and then suddenly is quite angry and doesn't talk anymore or disappears.

WOW, I really can't decide whether the service or the food was better! Hassan and his team create the most delicious dishes... my mouth is watering just thinking about the amazing meal we enjoyed a few nights ago. The team makes you feel like you're over to their home for a Sunday dinner; they are so personable and attentive. They are extremely well versed in describing all the different sauces and spices in each item on the menu. The wines are wonderful, too. First class service and amazing cuisine. You will enjoy it, and it's a terrific value.
