Best Indian and Indo- Chinese food in Tallahassee. Hands down beats Essence of India and Persis. Food is so flavorful! The Samoas are so light and flaky. Tremendous variety. Been here multiple times. Never disappointed.

This place has an extensive menu of Asian deliciousness. The portions are generous, there are so many vegetarian options, and there's outside seating and the servers wear masks during this pandemic. The last time we were there, I discovered a new dish: Szechuan triple noodles, I think it was called. Gorgeous and delicious. The curry is always good, there are many incredible appetizers, such as the Gobi Manchurian, and it's just great place.

Based on other Yelp reviews we went to Aaru's for dinner while visiting in Tallahassee recently. There were four of us and everyone really enjoyed it. The wait staff friendly and helpful. I got the Haka noodles with chicken and it was perfectly spiced. I like that you can specify how hot you want the dishes. We will return next time we are in Tallahassee. Two thumbs up!

What a great little place. Staff was friendly and took time to explain menu. We got the lunch sampler. Was a good way to taste different food and nicely presented and delicious.

The variety in the food is amazing. I personally enjoyed the Dosa and delicious Sambar. Paneer Tikka Tacos was super yummy and exceeded my expectations.

Yummm!
Indian food is rich in spices.
"No one can eat just once" - It's lip smacking. And for people from West, it's really really spicy! It takes a lot of experience and expertise to make a dish. And they just did a perfect job with food. Will surely visit again. Must try butter chicken dosa, absolutely blast of mouthwatering flavours.

I didn't get any pictures of my food but it looked exactly like the food others are posting. Very beautiful, clean space with nice outdoor patio. Friendly staff who are willing to explain the menu for newbies. And the food was so delicious, we ordered samosas, butter chicken, chicken curry, and garlic & chili naan.😋😋 Will be back because there is so much more to try!

New favorite restaurant in Tallahassee!
Went last night and the food was INCREDIBLE. Thai, Indian, Chinese, and Mexican are pretty much objectively the 4 best types of food. This restaurant was heaven on earth for anyone who loves Indian and Thai food especially. The Cheese Pav Bhaji and the schezuan chicken were what we got an both were 100/10.

Wow. This place was the perfect spot for lunch. Outdoor seating under the trees, incredible food, and great service. The vegetarian lunch platter filled me to the brim with an array of delicious flavors and when the server asked if I wanted more of anything, I wanted to say “Everything!” We will definitely be returning. Wishing we hadn’t waited so long to try it for the first time. So good.

We really enjoyed our visit after the Tallahassee Beerfest:
Butter chicken, lamb curry, and vegetable samosa. All so delicious! And the staff was really attentive and nice too.

Glad to have a new Indian/Asian restaurant in Tallahassee!

Although I loved Mayuri, Aaru's picks up right where they left off at this location and now I prefer Aaru's even more! Their dosa platter is our go-to dinner now, but I love that there is so much else on their menu to try each visit. While we look forward to eventually stopping in for lunch to try their buffet, we love their dinner menu and have received such friendly service. We regularly try to introduce new friends and everyone has loved their food. Definitely a great addition to Tallahassee!

We ate outside on the deck and it was a beautiful evening. The host is kind, patient and able to answer questions about their extensive menu. You can request the spiciness level so you can enjoy your meal the way you like it. We were all happy with our dishes and I'm looking forward to going back to try more dishes.

Amazing! First of all, what drew me to Aaru's was the multi cuisine menu and found that picking something was the hardest part of the experience. It's such a diverse menu of Indian, Thai, Indi-Mex, and Indochinese...you can't go wrong with all of those spices. I also can't think of another restaurant in town with this sort of menu. Due to covid there is no buffet however for about $12 they will serve you unlimited portions on a silver platter! I think the special switches up but you can see from the picture it's a lot of food and even includes dessert. My chicken curry

The thali had good amount of food for the money. The vegetables dishes needed more salt. The chicken curries were excellent!

This was seriously some of the best Indian food I have ever had. That said I live in LA and try new spots all the time, have been to India, and this still tops the list. Do yourself a favor and get the $20 sampler. Tons of amazing treats and big enough to split for sure!

Aaru's is excellent with fresh, delicious food, beautiful plating, and top-notch service. I love the outdoor seating and their attention to safety as well as to giving everyone a wonderful dining experience. The portion sizes are generous with great menu options including for people like me who don't eat meat. They have a lunch buffet for one that is very popular due to its variety. As for the one recent critical review, that's pretty lousy as this place bills itself as Aaru's Multicuisine restaurant...it is not purely Indian food; they also have Asian and other options. Personally

I ordered the Green Curry and my fiancé had their Lamb Curry and this place was phenomenal. We will definitely be visiting again. The garlic bread was absolutely killer and the service was so friendly and welcoming. I wish I could give them more stars!!!! Thank you!!!

Went to Aaru's for the first time last night and WOW, it was amazing! We started with onion pakora and papadam and both got chicken tikka masala with garlic naan as our entrée. Their masala chai was delicious as well (not pictured). The server was very friendly and personable. Give it a try if you haven't already.

Tasty food, generous portions, reasonable prices, and outdoor seating. The view and ambiance of the outdoor dining area, overlooking the parking lot and roadway, isn't the best, so probably not a place for a romantic date. But the servers are knowledgeable and they'll adjust the spice level of the food just for you.

I ordered takeout with my co-worker and was pleased Aaru had our order ready right before it was promised. The restaurant was clean and quaintly decorated. It was hard to choose what to order as Aaru had an abundance of various Asian cuisine, not just Indian. The naan would probably be better had I gotten it fresh in the restaurant as it had good taste, but had grown cool. The taste of the food was mild, so next time I'll ask for more spice (I enjoy extra spice). There was enough food for leftovers for an additional meal and a half.

Can't go wrong with their lunch "buffet" for one! It is only served during specific hours, so check the website or call ahead if that is what you're looking for.

These flavors are all delicious!

As an Indian food novice, I'm a little intimidated by their dinner menu. I would like to familiarize myself with what they offer, but I definitely know I love all of the selections in the lunch buffet!

I asked the owner of Aaru's how long his restaurant had been opened? He said "We opened in January 2020..bad timing, "but we thought if we treated our patrons like family they would support us more often and they did, sometimes 4 or 5 times a month". An encouraging story to be told and after reading the many 5 star reviews posted I felt privileged to be seated at 9 when the place closes at 10. Based on revs I tried the mango lasi. An excellent smoothie/milkshake style beverage. The rest of our food was exponentially better. Every item was a new and unique taste experience finishing

I love Aaru's!!! With the pandemic, I order to go. Pictures are attached!!! The portions are excellent and I will have more than enough for a few meals from the Shrimp Biryani!!! The flavor is amazing!!!

I tried the Gobi Manchurian Dry for the first time. I could eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner!!!

Each dish was seasoned perfectly.  I reheated the Garlic Naan and Onion Bhajiya in the air fryer for a few minutes. They were perfect. Definitely a go to place for flavorful and creative dishes, as well as traditional Indian dishes!!!

If you need some comfort food... grab some people and head to Aarus! Great food & great service. I especially have a soft spot for anywhere with large family style portions so everyone can share and taste the goodness.

*The garlic naan and chicken khorma are my personal favs (not pictured).

This is my first time eating Indian food and I am HOOKED. The menu at first is very daunting, but I decided to do some research on different plates which I highly recommended so you have a good foundation of the types of entrees you might enjoy. The service was amazing, the presentation was beautiful and I'm very excited to visit again.
Our starters:

- Tom Yum Soup
- Gobi Manchurion dry
- Tandoori Chicken
- Garlic Naan (we ordered 2 initially and then ordered a 3rd for our entrees!

Everything was absolutely perfect, but the overall favorite was the Gobi Manchurion. We all agreed we would

First timer.

Mayuri changed locations so now we have Aaru's. They started earlier this month..

I had the buffet and tried numerous items (see pic). I apologies for not remembering any of the food names.

Service: 5 stars.

Food: 4 stars. There were items that I really liked and others that were ok. The cabbage was super good!!!! The chicken and rice was also a stellar :)
The peas in some curry (I think) was, for me, very delicious.

Over all the rate is 4.5 total. Wil I return, hell yeah
