Just had a really 1st class meal (special occasion)had Paella for 2. Sorry no photo. When it came out it looked so good, couldn’t wait to get our “little trotters in the trough We have family in Mallorca and have visited regularly for many years. I have to say “if I have had a better paella, then I really can’t remember when or where” *Important point to mention here, the large shell on king prawns had been deveined (not always the case)This is important, as the black line is the prawns “digestive tract” and what gives you the Gippy tummy. Don’t be put off by the frontage (car wash) this place was once a petrol station, then a transport caff. I’ve had a few “Truckers Bacon Butties” here whilst having my car valeted. First time I have been since it’s make over. Suspect it will become a regular haunt from now on. Lovely friendly owners and staff.

This is our first time in this cozy and stylish restaurant and we are so delighted of their delicious authentic Italian cuisine such as the calamari, tiger prawns, seafood linguine pasta, and tiramisu which caused us to have “foodgasm” because they’re so good! The hostess who is the wife of the master chef is so nice and friendly and she made sure to attend to all our needs efficiently.

I have passed A21 Aroma on several occasions but decided to make a special effort to go in. I was not disappointed! The lady who greeted me on entry was very friendly and welcoming, and was very attentive & helpful. The layout of the restaurant is very well designed and the seating and ambiance is comfortable. The food is well prepared and served and is very tasty. Definitely worth 5 stars and will recommend to others!

When I was invited to go there for a meal i truthfully thought what the portacabin looking place with a hand car wash in front. But don’t judge a book by its cover. The staff are friendly and provide a great service. The food is absolutely lovely, I had the lamb dish which melted in my mouth. The inside is decorated lovely and the atmosphere is great. I would highly recommend Aroma it really is lovely and great value for a 3 course meal

43 of us took over A21 Aroma last night (Sat 14th Dec) for a christmas party. Absolutely fantastic evening. Staff so friendly. Food came out with no delays and nice and hot (the ones that are meant to). Lamb shank was gorgeous. Alcohol flowed very well. Think we were drinking the bar dry . Highly recommend a visit there. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for such a fantastic evening x
