About this restaurant

  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Innovative
  • Gluten-free-friendly
India is a sublime fusion of the east and the west, in the most delicate and subliminal way. It is deeply steeped in tradition and yet is incredibly progressive; it is where knowing your heritage is just as important as opening up to new influences. It is this which makes India unique - the correct mix of tradition and modernity. The hospitality of Indians is legendary: the dictum of hospitality lies in three famous Sanskrit words ‘Attithi Devo Bhavah’ or “the guest is truly your god". Indians believe that they are honored if they share their meals with guests.-The finest of India"s cuisines is as rich and diverse BS its civilization. It is an art form that has been passed on through generations purely by word of mouth, from guru (teacher) to vidhyarthi (pupil) or from mother to daughter.
Méhék (Aroma) showcases the finest of Indian Cuisine in its new avatar - delectable traditional dishes with a contemporary twist.

    It was okay for a quick meal, and not expensive, but is not on my list as a restaurant to go back to.

    Quite possibly the WORST DINING EXPERIENCE in our lives. Dry, over spiced and tasteless food that we’re sure was left over from the weekend. The fried appetizer platter wasn’t fried—but rather warmed slightly in the oven. The bread was OK but the edges were raw. The tandoori specials were hot, but lacked flavor and moisture. We were starving, so we ate and left without complaining—but NEVER EVER would we go again.

    Meh. This restaurant is convenient to Princeton University. The food is so-so compared to the many other Indian restaurants in the area.

    This is very easily by far the worst Indian food I ever ate. I can’t express my thoughts on how this restaurant is still in business. It disappointed in every possible aspect. Feels sorry to write this because I feel upset for Indian food standards being so terribly represented.

    Comprehensive a la carte menu. Excellent food. Wonderful spice combinations. Restaurant decor is basic so food justifies a visit. Bring your own bottle.

    We went for lunch and opted for their buffet. Lots of very tasty choices were offered at the buffet. Unlike other India buffets, they served naans (pita bread) at the table at no additional charge. The restaurant is clean, fairly small and not noisy. The decor is nice.

    Dinner for four with no bar service, appetizers, or dessert should not take two hours, but it did. The dining room was less than half full but we literally had to beg for attention. The food was very good when we finally received it. When we asked to take our leftovers home, we were given containers and plastic bags. Diners at other tables were treated similarly. The dining room and restroom need a refresh including a good scrubbing and a paint job. There are many options for Indian food in the Princeton area nowadays; I will choose another restaurant next time.
