Aroma's Devour Indy menu is four-course Indian meal deal
There is one week left of Devour Indy, which means you have one week left to get a delicious, four-course Indian meal at an absolute steal.
Why it matters: Devour happens a couple of times each year, but the winter edition can be especially important for restaurants that struggle during the cold, bleak months after the holidays.
Where to go: Aroma
What to order: Two vegetarian entrees are on the menu (and a three-course vegan option). You could get dal makhani but I'm a sucker for anything paneer so I went with the paneer tikka masala.
Firm cubes of cheese are cooked with onions and red bell peppers, simmered in a creamy tomato sauce full of warm spices. It's served with rice and a side of naan.
Each meal starts with a silky lentil soup and a samosa — a deep-fried fried savory pastry stuffed with potato, peas and cashews.
Save room for a small dish of malai kulfi, a homemade ice cream flavored with cardamom and garnished with almond flakes.
💭 My thought bubble: I don't usually order dessert at restaurants, so the Devour meals that include one don't always feel like a great deal to me.
Yes, but: This one is. Even if you don't eat the dessert, you're getting a deal.
Yes, but but: You should eat the dessert because it's the perfect little portion and just the right way to end the meal.
Cost: $21 for what, for me, is easily two meals.
If you go: Devour runs through Feb. 2.
Aroma has locations in Fountain Square, SoBro and Carmel.
