Twenty Years of Passion, One Table
Aromas is Manoj Kumar's lifelong dream realized — twenty years of perfecting spice and flavor, now on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks.
Aromas Indian Cuisine | Our Story
A Childhood Steeped in Spice
Manoj Kumar grew up surrounded by fragrant cardamom, slow-simmering curries, and the hiss of a hot tawa. That sensory world never let him go — it quietly became a lifelong devotion.
A Calling, Not a Career
For over two decades, Manoj devoted himself to mastering authentic Indian flavors — refining every recipe and calibrating every spice blend until the food said exactly what he meant.
The Dream Lands on Ventura
When Aromas opened at 14350 Ventura Boulevard, guests lined up on day three raving about the Dahl Makhani, Tandoori Chicken, and Chicken Tikka Masala. What Now Los Angeles spotlighted it as a destination for the true depth of Indian cuisine.
Tradition, With a Little Nerve
The menu honors classics — slow-cooked Dahl Makhani, fragrant Biryani, soulful Goat Curry — while confident creativity brings Butter Chicken Wings and Paneer Masala Fries to life. Heritage honored, and played with.
Your Seat at the Table
Every plate carries the weight of that two-decade journey — and an open invitation to be part of what it has become. Come for the $15 lunch special, or stay for a long, unhurried dinner.
