    Almost half an hours wait for 2 requested ashtrays for 7 smokers... Had to ask repeatedly and finally 1 comes. Then ordering was a trial in itself... 5 times the waiter came back to confirm our order. Will update this review after we actually get our food... It's been a touch over an hour now, still waiting. It may be tomorrow at this rate. Two tables have already left because of the wait. But we're stubborn... And hungry... And 2 of our group haven't tried duck before, otherwise we'd have left also. Ok, here we go. 1 hour and a half and food comes... After 4 tables that arrived after our order got theirs. Food was excellent!!! Definitely can't fault anything there. Pretty damn perfect. 3 stars purely because the beer arrived straight away, and it was nice. And the food was awesome for all. Worth a 5 star rating, but the service and length of wait dragged them down badly. Inexcusable because the place was quarter full (if that) when we turned up. Again 5 for the food, everything else was a zero.

    Travelers we met earlier this week recommended this restaurant in the Rotorua Eat Street. We weren't disappointed. We ordered a chicken curry and a chicken pad thai. Excellent flavors. Good service.

    We were staying in Waitomo for a few days and went in to town nearby where this restaurant is…read morelocated. There is a small business thoroughfare, very sleepy, it reminds me of the in between towns in California. The restaurant is easy to spot, has tasty Indian cuisine, beer, and friendly service. We were happy to discover some diversity in a small town like this. There are shops and grocers on the street as well for your all around needs.

    I'm here in New Zealand on vacation and after a day of Glow Worms and Ruakuri caves in Waitomo...we…read morehead back to the little town of Otorohanga. My wife and I was wanting to eat Thai food after a good experience we had in Cambridge, so here we are at Thai Aroma around 6pm. It was relatively quiet, there was another group of family that just ordered before us. The waiter brought us water and came over as soon as we looked like we were ready to order. My wife opted for the shrimp tom yum with jasmine rice and I went with the shrimp pad siew. My wife is big fan of tom yum and it wasn't exactly the way she wanted...she said it was missing the broken straw mushrooms and could have been a bit more sour, otherwise we both were blown away at the pad siew. It was so flavorful with every bite you took you just didn't want it to end. We forgot our backpack that night and drove all the way to Auckland (a little over 2 hours). We called the restaurant that same night and luckily they were still open, the waiter told us he has it and will have it for us for pickup. We picked it up the next day and nothing was missing from our backpack. He did tell us he opened it trying to look for any information to try and contact us and advised us of leaving some sort of contact information. Awesome waiter, will definitely dine here again if we visit Otorohanga again!
