Ordered pav bhaji, sweet lassi, and was recommended to try the samosa chaat. Pav bhaji was made with butter bread, not hamburger bun as I've had in other places, and the curry with it was good, though to be honest I missed the sweetness of hamburger bun haha. The samosa chaat was super delicious and was sweet, tangy, and a bit spicy with lots of texture variation. Kind of like eating an Indian frito pie. Lassi was good and the yogurt paired nicely with the spice. Check came out to $35 with tip and I will be back. read more

First time trying this spot, it's a new concept for pizza. We were the only ones there at 1pm and were greeted and seated promptly. The lady took our order and was very helpful and the male helper gave us a run down of the beer options. We ended up ordering the chicken tikka masala pizza and the buttered chicken pizza with a side of Samosa and Godfather beer. The chicken tikka masala tasted exactly as I imagined, tasty and crunchy. The cheese they used was amazing and stretchy. I wasnt a fan of the buttered chicken just because it was a bit too creamy for my taste but my boyfriend loved it. He loved the chicken, said it was full of flavor and loved the French fries in that buttered pizza. The beer was a good surprise, very smooth, like an IPA, 6.8% alcohol. Paired well with our pizzas. I gave this place for food 3/5, drinks 5/5, service 5/5. read more

I came here four times, and the last two they messed up my order. The last order from last month I was served frozen shrimp and fish curry. I didnt even complain just thought it was a fluke. Came back again a few days ago to order their lunch special again and was missing my third item. I had to go all the way back to my office to discover that they didn't give me my entire order. So already wasting all of my lunch break, I went back to get my money back, and the incredibly rude woman said super condescendingly that the missing saag was behind the counter. I replied how would I have known, its not in the bag, and you handed it to me, so why be so rude? When I told the owner about how rude the interaction was she then claimed that she had replaced and remade my frozen food for me. What is she talking about? I never complained about frozen food this time, just about my missing food, and the fact that she mistook me for another customer just proves how often they mess up orders. So despite me not even complaining about the frozen food, they regularly give customers undercooked food to the point where they cant even keep track. Avoid this place. Overpriced, small portions, rude service. I can see why this restaurant is always empty with no one waiting for food, even at the height of the lunch rush. read more

As soon as my daughter and i walked in we were welcomed and made us feel so comfortable. The gentleman that helped us made such great suggestions as this was our first time here. As we sat and waited the gentleman went out of his way to bring my daughter a drawing board. The place is nice and clean and the ambiance was great. The mango smoothie he suggested was delicious. I cannot wait to try the pizza we ordered. I definitely will be coming back to this spot to try their Indian food!!!!! Yum yum yum!!! read more

Definitely my favorite find in RC on my many visits this year. I've tried most of the menu at this point and will continue to order remaining dishes. The Indian pizzas were insanely flavorful and perfectly cooked. I've tried several other Indian style pizza establishments since and they don't come close to Desi Aromas. I order the cauliflour appetizer ever single visit. It's one of my favorite dishes on the planet. Some days I can't stop thinking about it. Perfectly fried cauliflour drenched in tangy sauce. read more

Desi Aroma - The cauliflower. ORDER IT! - Indian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Came here with the family to celebrate Happy Diwali (Festival of Lights). It's a small Indian restaurant specialized in Indian Curry Dishes and Indian Pizzas. You order the foods at the counter, pay, find yourself a table, if you are dinning in, and they will bring you the foods once they are ready. We were the only ones there at the time before more customers came, but it took them a long time to bring us our foods. There were only two staffs working at the time. The guy that took our orders was also the chef. My guess is that they were short on staffs. The sodas machine wasn't working and there were no ices. We ordered the followings: - Desi Chicken Curry (Medium Spice) - Prawn Curry (Medium Spice) - Kaju Veggie Korma (Medium Spice) - Aloo Mutter Paneer (Medium Spice) - Basmati Rice - Butter Naan The Desi Chicken Curry was good. The Kaju Veggie Korma was good as well. The Aloo Mutter Paneer was alright, seems like they didn't put enough Paneer. The Butter Naan and Basmati Rice went well with the curry dishes. Although the Prawn Curry was good, it wasn't Prawn they were serving, they used tiny shrimps instead. We asked the chef why there were no Prawn in this dish, and he was silent, didn't know what to say. Then he said, "we don't serve prawn here". We were shocked. Why the menu says "Prawn", but they used tiny shrimps instead. If we had known they don't serve prawn, we wouldn't have ordered this dish. Overall, it wasn't a positive dining experience. read more

Food: 3.5/5｜Service: 4/5｜Atmosphere: 4/5 We tried the Chicken Masala pizza, and flavor-wise, it was actually very well executed. The spices were fragrant and nicely balanced, with a gentle heat that lingers without overwhelming the palate. The masala seasoning paired surprisingly well with the melted cheese, which had a satisfying stretch and richness. That said, the crust was the main drawback. It lacked crispness and felt a bit too soft, which took away from the overall texture and contrast you'd want in a good pizza. With a crispier base, this could easily score much higher. Great concept and bold flavors -- just needs a firmer crust to really shine. read more

In the area and needed something other than fast food. I was intrigued by the fusion of pizza and Indian. Unfortunately, I did not order the pizza. I was their first customer of the day. The were unable to make Naan this early. (5 minutes after opening) I ordered my usual Indian meal. Chicken Tikka Masala. It arrived in 2 large size 'cereal' bowls. Perfect heat level (for me) and very good flavor. The gentleman who waited on me was polite and brought my food to the table. I will definitely be back if in the area again, I want the Tikka Masala pizza! read more

Returning customer here. Wow! The food here is incredible! I recommend the Desi Gobhi Manchurian if you're looking for something flavorful, spicy, and exciting. I'm not a cauliflower person but this appetizer was chef kiss. The cauliflower was delicious, I even used my bread crust to scoop some sauce. We also ordered the pizza Chicken Tikka Masala and added paneer toppings. Definitely paneer is a favorite topping for me. Pizza was delicious, really enjoyed the variety of toppings. read more

I really wanted to like this place because the concept of an Indian restaurant and pizzeria together sounded unique -- but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The service was very poor. The person helping us barely spoke English, which made communication difficult and led to several mix-ups with our order. It also seemed like they were short-staffed, so everything took a long time. The guy straight up didn't tell us that they don't have prawns but then you can't tell us that? They think they can dupe us? As for the food, the only thing I actually liked was the vegan pizza -- it had a nice crust and good flavor. Everything else we ordered (a mix of Indian dishes) was bland and lacked the bold spices and taste you'd expect from Indian cuisine. The drink situation didn't help either. The soda machine wasn't working, there was no ice available, and the water they served was straight from the tap -- not filtered. Overall, between the language barrier, poor service, and underwhelming food, I can't say I'd come back here. There's potential in the idea, but they need major improvements in both staffing and quality. read more

This food was amazing. If you don't know about it, you have to go find out! My wife and I had the Chicken Tikka Pizza. 10/10.

Definitely one of my favorite Indian pizza restaurants locally. The tikka masala pizza was cooked to perfection and was so flavorful. My friends loved the poutine and the chicken tikka pizza. Will definitely be back to try more menu items. read more

My date and I were extremely impressed by the quality and deliciousness of the food here!! Everything was cooked to complete perfection! We got the Chicken Tikki Masla Pizza! The chicken was cooked so perfect and the flavor just hit perfectly! The doe is also exceptionally delicious, wasn't too heavy so I couldn't stop myself from grabbing another slice! Not to mention our waitress was very friendly. Vibes 10/10 ! We left so happy! Definitely coming back to try the imported Indian beers and another flavorful pizza! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience read more

Indian food? Love. Pizza? Love. Business owners adding new twists for new experiences for curious foodies to build on tummy adventures? Love! Put them together? Incredibly delicious concoctions! I believe this used to be an Italian pizza spot for which the ownership changed recently. I'm sure it was great, but this spot and their interesting fusion twist definitely peaked my curiosity. Business owner was very friendly, helpful, and truly open to honest opinions. Gave us a couple samples to try - can't recall what they were called, but some we enjoyed and others weren't our cup of tea. Chicken Tikka Masala pizza was amazing! Could it have tasted better with added spice? Perhaps. Don't really have anything to compare it to, but will return to try different combinations and spices to get the "kick" one tends to look for when chowing down on Indian food and spices. Great service (albeit a tad slow since they were busy with staff still training), great food selection, automated ordering from a modernized electronic kiosk, plenty of parking, and all around family friendly environment. Highly recommended to simply try their food and see if you like it. Unique foodie business with a twist is very worth stopping by! read more

Desi Aroma is my new favorite Indian restaurant in the Inland Empire. I love the laid back atmosphere, clean interior, quick and easy ordering, and incredible food with generous portions. Props to the very friendly owner and workers, too! My girlfriend loved the corn nuggets. They're crispy but not bursting with oil or anything, so they make for a great appetizer without being too heavy. Likewise, the chaat was very well done--the potato stayed crispy even under the various sauces, and the spicy flavor was amazing. The tikka masala pizza was great. There isn't too much chicken but it's wonderfully cheesy which makes up for it, and it's loaded with onions and peppers. Cheese on cheaper pizzas can taste dry and over baked, but the pizzas at Desi Aroma are top notch. We'll definitely be back! read more

My husband and I ordered takeout tonight after having Desi Aroma pizza at a Christmas party last month for the first time. We ordered the Peri Peri and it was delicious. I attached a photo and as you can see, we ate before the phone did. Everything from the crust to the sauce to the cheese to the spices and toppings was perfection. They have the recipe for the perfect pizza. We ordered the medium for the two of us, it was both filling and not enough - we wish we had another bite. Another plus, the man working there was so kind and the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. My husband dubbed it as the best pizza in Rancho and I'd have to agree. We will be back soon to try more flavors! read more

The butter chicken was superb! Friendly staff and clean establishment. Def looking forward to coming back! Also, the pizzas are HUGE!

Friendly staff, flavorful food, nice textures. Papadi Chat - goop, goop, and pita type chips. I like to go with Indian loaded nachos. Its refreshing, a lil spicy, and so flavorful, with the nice texture of the chips to counter the goop :) Chicken Tiki Masala - one of the more popular pizzas, it's got some good flavors but I prefer the Chutney pizza. Chutney Pizza - Love the flavors, love the gooey cheese, wish they had gone with fresh jalapeno instead of preserved. So good. All the pizzas had a nice thin crust and it was nice and crispy. Place is a small place, with some seating for groups of 4-8. Staff were friendly in helping us decide what to get. read more

Stumbled across this place by accident. It just (soft?) opened, but there wasn't much fanfare so it would have been really easy to miss. Hopefully the grand opening is better advertised, because this place deserves ALL the business. I tried the paneer pizza and garlic knots. They were both to die for. The pizza is definitely the star of the show. It's full size and an incredible deal. You can get two for $22 which just blows my mind because fancy hand crafted gourmet pizzas can be up to $30 for just one. I loved the crispy and thick bready crust and the curry spice paired with the double cheese. Paneer pieces were abundant. Would definitely get this one again, but request for spicier next time. You have to try the garlic knots too, which were also super affordable. They were the perfect accompaniments to the pizza. Perfectly spiced and pairs well with the flavorful dipping sauce. Warm and fluffy. Just perfection! I didn't try the tikka masala sliders myself, but I was told they were lovely. I snuck a few fries though, and those were delicious ;) I spoke a little with the owner, who was so friendly and kind. It was a pleasure making his acquaintance! Overall, loved the freshness, flavor, and love present in every dish. This is an amazing budget option for lunch or dinner. Can't wait to be back soon. read more

First time at Desi Aroma. The server was nice and helpful. They have a kiosk to order and a good selection of beer. Ordered a chicken masala pizza, veggie masala pizza and drinks. The pizza were made in front of you and came out pretty fast considering. Very tasty! The aroma of Indian food is so tempting to the taste buds. I'd suggest they have more of an offering of salads if they were going to add to the menu, there is only a side salad available. Also, they make regular non-Indian inspired pizza for those that want traditional pizza. Lots of Indian appetizers as well as American appetizers. read more

They have many food varieties, prepared fresh. Taste is average. Service is nice and friendly. Close to the mall.

I had every intention of going to the Panda Express next door when the line out the door for the belt sushi place had me wondering what was going on. While wondering about the line I saw this place and the premise was interesting. Indian food flavors on pizza. I was very surprised by the amount of green bell peppers why used since I am not a fan of them. But I'll be damned if it didn't work so well. The interior could use some updating but over all I will be back again read more

They have a traditional Indian food menu, but I went for the pizza! An East-Indian fusion of flavors and toppings on top of otherwise traditional pizza, and it was outstanding. I had the chicken tikka masala pizza, which I'd give a 9 out of 10. Flavor combos really worked, and the dough was just the right thickness, and cooked just right. Came in under 8 minutes, too. I got chatting with the owner, a fun guy, and he said the garlic chicken pizza is even better. I'll be trying that next! read more

Great customer service and even better food!! Highly recommend the chicken tika masala to anyone that loves aromatic and fresh taste!!

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is not good Indian food. Tikka masala not flavorful and the shahi paneer was the worst I've ever had. Both were watery but the shahi was so awful I couldn't believe it. Service is not the best just as other people said. Definitely not worth the $$ you'll spend here. read more

I have been here twice so far and have only had three things. I had the shai paneer pizza, chicken tikka pizza and the pepperoni pizza. Everything was good! I really love their pepperoni and the shai paneer one the most! The crust is the best. It has a nice bite to it and isn't greasy. It's not too thin or thick. The only thing I will say is I feel like the price is a little high. It was $18 for a small pepperoni pizza and $16 for a small shai paneer pizza. The small was like about the size of a blaze pizza or a little smaller. I think $12-14 should be the range in my opinion. read more

Amazing service and the food was extremely delicious very tasty. I took my family here to try out the food since I have been craving Indian food. We ordered a good amount of food we ordered the butter chicken, peppy paneer pizza, samosas, cheese and jalapeño kulcha, regular French fries, fried rice with chicken, Hakka noodles and mulligatawny soup (lentil soup). Everything was very delicious but my favorite was the pizza and the butter chicken but I'm not going to lie it was very hard to rank since everything was so good. The employees there were also a delight I recommend this place 100 percent and I will definitely be going back. read more
