Great décor and bakery, but the mains need improvement.
Loved the classy décor and vibe of the restaurant. Their bakery items were excellent — especially the nankatai and ragi biscuits. Sadly, the popular tres leches was sold out.
Starters were very good the Paneer patpata and crispy corn.
The Kochi lunch combo was a disappointment. The rasam lacked flavor, and the shrimp and fish curry didn’t reflect authentic Kerala tastes. The Bikaner thali wasn’t great either — only the butter naan and raita stood out, while the paneer didn’t feel true to a Bikaner-style dish.
The Makhana curry came in a tomato base instead of the promised kaju gravy, and while the eggplant curry was good, the flavors faded with the medium/high spice level.
On the bright side, service was lovely. Teressa was kind and suggested a mocktail with pineapple, guava, and orange — and it was delicious.

A modern, eclectic Indian restaurant serving up North and South Indian favorites along with some unique specialties. This is a fresh restaurant with a bright, glitzy interior paired with a bar and a pastry shop. A comfortable, celebratory vibe where you can relax while being served by friendly staff assisted by robots that bring the dishes out to the tables. A fun experience for the kids as well.
They have a decent spread of interesting cocktails, beer, wine, spirits, mocktails, and juices. We got their Mango Martini and a Taj Mahal. A decent martini but can’t wait to try some of their other cocktails next time.
For the appetizers we ordered Drums of Heaven and Chicken Lollipop. Both tasted great. The Drums of Heaven is a bit on the spicy side. So much variety! Can’t wait to try their Lahsuni chicken next time and the Gobi 65. Based on the two dishes we got today, I must say I’m looking forward to the next set of appetizers on my list.
The classic Butter Chicken is what we opted for along with Paneer Tikka Masala. A bit of a cop out but also allows us to gauge the quality of a restaurant. These two are signature Indian preparations that can define the overall food quality of a restaurant. And, I’m pleased to say that we loved it. The Butter Chicken had a bit of texture to the sauce which is atypical but I think it enhanced it. The Paneer Tikka Masala didn’t look color-wise as a Tikka Masala but it delivered. We paired it with garlic naan which was soft and tasty but not as fluffy as in other restaurants. The dishes came with basmati rice on side.
We capped off our meal with a couple of desserts. The Gulab Jamun and Rasmalai. I preferred the Gulab Jamun. The Rasmalai was a little underwhelming though. Our friendly server, Nish, offered us a complimentary slice of Pineapple cake. A nice gesture and it allowed us to sample their pastry. They have an assortment of pastries; worth a try.
My only minor comment is that the large screen playing Bollywood songs in the restaurant detracts from the modern, classy vibe. It’s somewhat distracting too.
Overall, we had a wonderful and relaxing time at Aura and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their drinks and dishes.

Good Indian food. Can be hot and spicy if you dont tell them. Some food items will be spicy, no choice but overall it is good. Usually trendy, good crowd, families or otherwise. Choice of food items is nice, different flavors. Veg and Non Veg both are good, drinks are nice. A good combination of liquors. Overall a go go!!

This was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We came for my husband’s birthday and the service was great- we do a green tea shot on birthdays and they didn’t have all the ingredients but were very accommodating. The food was absolutely incredible and the space is visually stunning. It felt very luxurious, so I was surprised at how affordable every dish was! We will make a special trip to come back because it was a wonderful experience.

Visited Aura Restaurant for a family lunch, and it was a great experience overall. The ambience was excellent and the service was truly impressive. Abdul, who served us, was a very pleasant young man and recommended dishes based on our taste preferences.
The highlight of the restaurant was the robots delivering food to our table, which was exciting to watch. It looks like the restaurant is moving toward offering fully automated service in the future.

The restaurant is upscale, with excellent food! I dropped in on a whim for Indian food in shorts and a T-shirt. I felt under dressed for an early dinner, yet the host was very accommodating. The decor is contemporary and bright. The food is delivered, hot and fresh to your table via autonomous robots. Servers scattered around the dining area converge on the delivery robot to plate the food. This restaurant’s food is one of the best I have ever experienced. I apologize for images of half eaten plates. The food smelled and tasted so good I did not realize I had not taken pictures beforehand. I will be returning.

Fairly new restaurant so everything looks nice. Turned to page 3 of this large menu to find a bug crawling on the page! Alerted Arjun, our server, (he gave his name at the end of our meal, not at the beginning while greeting), brought a different menu but I didn’t take it as I had already decided what to order. I ordered Lamb rogan josh with paratha. It comes with rice but I was not allowed to substitute, so I told them to hold the rice. I also ordered Chana Bhathura.
Oh, and food arrives from the kitchen on a robot!
My main issue with the food was the excessive use of tomato sauce in the Rogan josh. It tasted nothing like the authentic Kashmiri rogan josh, as stated in the menu. The Lamb was a little tough and chewy. The paratha was pretty good.
Same for the Chana – too much tomato sauce.
I brought this to the attention of Arjun and he said he would let the kitchen know and didn’t return till we were ready to leave. That’s when he offered to replace the dish but we were done. He gave us the check and then gave us his name along with a QR code for writing a review mentioning him by name.
Arjun was doing his job and his service was not bad so I tipped him 15% where I would normally tip 20%.

Can you feed this item to your kids who usually like chicken always?
Serious and unacceptable experience at this restaurant. Malai chicken kabobs and was served chicken that was raw on the inside. This is a major food safety issue, not a matter of taste.
Because of the severity of the situation, we sent a sample to food safety inspectors for evaluation. Serving raw chicken puts customers at real risk, and this should never happen in any sort of kitchen.
Until the restaurant addresses its cooking and food safety practices, we cannot recommend dining here.

A MUST!! My new fave Indian restaurant. The lamb biriyani was full of delicious flavors that transcended me to thinking I was in a foreign land. The butter chicken was also tasty. We chose heat level “mild” which was perfect and still with quite a kick. They have a great happy hour menu at a very affordable price. I had an old fashion and it was served pretty well. The staff were very pleasant and made great food recommendations. The owner came out to greet us and made sure we had a good experience. Thank you AURA! See you very soon!! ♥️
