We visited today for Daily Brunch/Lunch Buffet. The food was fresh, tasted authentic and well-prepared,especially the Garlic Naan. And the staff were friendly.
We’ll definitely be coming back again soon, highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and reasonable prices!

I devoured two plates of mouthwatering food at one of the rare all-you-can-eat weekly buffets in the area! While most places limit their buffets to just the weekends, this hidden gem offers a feast any day of the week. Despite my laziness in snapping better photos, due to being in a coma, the ambiance is quite nice. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem—come visit and support this exceptional spot. The buffet was clean, the food was incredibly fresh, and the service was impeccably attentive!

We’ve ordered from Aura and dined in a couple of times. The food is really nice. We are absolutely hooked to their curd rice. And special mention to their baingan bharta, it had the smoky flavour as it should and was delicious.
So far we’ve tried and liked their:
(Appetiser) Samosa, Aloo tikki chaat
(Clay oven/tandoor) Mix malai veg
(vegan) Crispy bhindi, aloo matar, baingan bharta
(Naan/breads) tandoori roti, paneer naan, onion naan
(Rice item) Curd rice
(Dessert) gulab jamun, gaajar halwa
(South Indian) ghee karam idly, ghee karam dosa
We look forward to continue enjoying food from Aura.

We just got home with veg manchurian and fried rice from Aura. I took the first bite and it is so delicious that I had to immediately get here to update the review.
Their lemon rice is amazing too. And their weekend buffets are very much worth it.

I’ve been looking for a good Indian restaurant near me for a while and decided to give Aura Essence of India a try! The food was incredible and so was the service, the owner came by the table to check in half way through the meal. We will for sure be coming back!

I’ve visited this spot a few times now and the food is consistently good. The biriyani and tandoori items are well-seasoned and cooked right, and the naan is always fresh and soft. Portions are generous and the flavors hit the mark every time.
The best part of the experience is the manager.
He always greets customers with genuine warmth and makes you feel welcome. His friendly attitude and care for customers really stand out.
Highly recommend this place for solid food and great service.

My new favorite restaurant!!!!! had an outstanding dinner there last night. Highlights were the garlic naan, butter chicken, and ginger rosemary lamb chops. Best Indian food I ever tasted and I have been to India. Can’t wait to return. Service was great and the staff was wonderful. Thank you and all the best for great success!

While in Farmington, Connecticut around lunchtime today , I searched for nearby Indian restaurants and came across Aura Essence of India. I had never heard of it before, but since it was the closest option, we decided to give it a try.
The daily buffet did have an extensive menu, so we went with the buffet—and we were pleasantly surprised. Every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared. The tandoori chicken was outstanding, and the fresh garlic naan was excellent. The afternoon buffet also included rice pudding and masala tea, which made the meal feel complete.
We left very happy. This is definitely a place we’d like to revisit with friends and family.
