Aro Restaurant

“This place deserves the good reviews it has. Really tasty food for such good value. The waiter, I think the owner, was so helpful guiding us through the menu. I am gluten free and could eat pretty much everything on the menu bar one or two breads. The dessert menu was amazing too. Highly recommend!!”

“Visited twice during my stay in Ipoh, fantastic food and very friendly people. They recommended me dishes and drinks and was pleased with how tasty and delicious it was. Chicken Thali the first time and then Biryani second time. Well recommended”

“Saw Google reviews saying their food, eg. Thosai, Thali, etc., are the best in town. So I came here teatime to try their Thosai. No wonder all ppl giving them high ratings... I'll give them 5 stars too..... Will be back to try other food..... Keep up the good work Aro!!!”

I visited for lunch and was thoroughly satisfied. The owners were so friendly and extended a warm welcome. As I had a heavy breakfast, I was unable to try many dishes, but I did try their renowned Mutton Briyani. The flavor was outstanding, and the boneless mutton was incredibly tender. It was served with a delicious gravy and a sweet accompaniment. The restaurant's ambiance, enhanced by gentle Indian music, created a pleasant dining experience. I certainly plan to return and highly recommend it to fellow enthusiasts of Indian cuisine who appreciate excellent service.

Chapati, mutton curry and fish. Both the curries very good with the right level of spiciness. Sambal with the fish is so appetising with a touch of tomato puree, no fishy smell. Mutton in thick gravy was very succulent, hardly any bones. Dal gravy thick and savoury. Tomato chutney slightly soured. The rice can be shared by 2 small eaters. Chapati fresh and fluffy. The 2 types of chutneys compliment the tosai so well. The filmsy tosai is very light and refreshing. Masala tea was very fragrant with the perfect amount of sugar and milk. Will definitely visit again to try bru coffee with cow milk, roti poratha etc.

Had a wonderful meal at Aro! We were a bit overwhelmed by the many choices, but the friendly hosts were incredibly helpful, explaining the menu and giving us perfect recommendations. We ordered the Non-Vegetarian Thali and the Mutton Biryani. Both were delicious, but the mutton was the highlight, it was tender, flavourful, and nicely cooked. Great food and even better service. Do note that the restaurant is located right beside the main road, thus we needed to park our car near the mosque behind the shop lots.

Loved everything about this place! Came here yesterday for a mini celebration and was not left disappointed. We ordered the mutton briyani, this was good and the meat was so tender! We also got the special of the day, the mango fish curry which also came with fried tenggiri that was absolutely delicious. The aloo gobi was surprisingly the highlight, packed with flavour we could not have enough. For my partner that has not been home for quite some time, this brought a rather nostalgic feeling as we felt right at home the moment we walked in, especially with how accommodating the hosts were. This small restaurant in Ipoh town represents Malaysian southern Indian cooking so well, for both me as a malayalee and my partner who is Tamil/ceylonese. Definitely worth another visit. For what we ordered it came up to just below rm100, which is fairly decent.
