Once Mainland China went down the drain,I was quite perturbed as to where I should head to when I wanted that perfect soup to lift up the tired spirits.I decided to try out Aromas of China and I think I am going to be a frequent customer here for many years to come.
There are two seating areas in this restaurant with one outdoor seating with cabanas opposite the bar and the other quieter seating area which is aircoed.I ordered a Sichuan Sour and Pepper soup which was a thick soup with some noodles and shitake mushrooms thrown in, with just the right amount of spice.I love shitake mushrooms and they are a rareity to find in Bangalore,therefore was pleasantly surprised to note that the menu had many dishes made with these mushrooms.For the main course, I ordered the Chilli Butter Noodles, Bamboo rice and a spicy Broccoli,Shitake mushroom,baby corn gravy.The Bamboo rice is probably the best I've eaten in the city and I must insist everyone who reads this review, order it when you are at Aromas of China :)!
The huge plus point of this place is the very quick and efficient service,it almost feels like they read our minds before we ordered the dishes!Be warned, the portions are very large and more often than not you will be taking a doggy-bag home.A meal for 3 came upto Rs.1600, so pretty pricey considering we didnt even have desert but I did not have any regret paying the price for great quality food.
The only crib I had was the rather artificial tasting fresh lime soda that they serve here, tasted a lot like the lemon Rasna powder thrown into water.But since the food was delicious, I do not want to pull down the rating of this restaurant.

I’ve fallen in love with BJN group of restaurants so much these days, I generally end up opting and indulging myself in their amazing service, food, ambience and the theme.
It was time to try out the Aromas of China in Eva Mall. The restaurant has the usual crimson red color all over with the feng shui hangings here and there.
We tried the Sichuan Sour and Pepper Soup (Chef’s recommendation) – Similar to hot and sour soup, but this was thick and had a different kind of mushroom which is supposed to be imported from China.
For the starters, we blindly had the chef’s recommendation and it was Vegetable Suimai which was like momos in a different shape.
For the main course, we wanted to try out something different and had the Bamboo Rice. Believe me; the aroma was just too amazing!! The name of the restaurant really stands by what they claim!!! The flavor was out of the world and all of gave a thumbs up for this. In combination with this, we were served Seasonal Vegetable with Brocolli in sauce (again the chef’s recommendation and my friends’ love for broccoli). Looks like, am gonna go there just to enjoy the Bamboo Rice again :)
Though, my stomach was protruding with the amount of food I had eaten, I still managed to squeeze in the dessert – Frozen vanilla scoop with cherry dipped in Brandy.
Since, we had the printout of an email sent by the BJN Group, we could also avail a discount of 20% on the bill!
Overall, a good experience and a must try for people who love Chinese food

When you feel like chinese, nothing to beat aromas of china among chinese restaurants. The new one at eva mall, brigade road has a really nice ambience. Perfect for a date or an outing with the family. The table served lunch buffet priced at just 199/- is a steal! YOU MUST TRY THE CHICKEN WINGS! YUMMY would be an understatement.... Right from starters to desserts.. you should surely try them out...
Happy Eating!
