Wonderful colorful walls with bright bold paintings set the tone for the authentic Peruvian food. We will definitely be back to try more dishes. We can’t wait to take our culinarily curious daughter.

The food was savory and authentic! The portions are great and the food is well priced. Our server was very attentive and charismatic; our drinks were never empty and he made great conversation. After finding out one of my friends was celebrating his birthday, our server brought us a free tres leches and sang happy birthday for us. The restaurant is nicely decorated and wasn’t too loud.

If you haven't tried Aromas, you must! It is my new favorite restaurant in town! Hands down the best food, service, price, etc! The owners are so nice and Nora is a pleasure! I have never had a bad meal and I've tried many items! And save room for their delicous home made desserts (pictured below: the mango, guava cheesecake and the peanut butter mousse)!

It’s always a great experience here! The food is always amazing. I tend to try something new every time, and it never fails to amaze me. The owners are very sweet and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful and relaxing. I’m obsessed with the sweet potato fries, they’re so crispy and delicious. The dishes are well portioned and priced reasonably. I definitely recommend for lunch or dinner!
