We attended this restaurant on the 19th August 2021, and I was absolutely shocked and appalled to see how staff were treated there. One of the so called Managers actively bullied and belittled one of his younger members of staff in front of paying customer's and other staff. I had to bite my tongue as myself and my other guests were disgusted at the young man's treatment. As a manager of a restaurant if you cannot handle pressure you should not be a manager...........you should be ashamed of yourself.

Had a really nice meal here recently, i dont often venture outside my comfort zone in regard to food but the food was so nice here that i tried numerous new dishes. The young waiter Kieran gave excellent table service, he came across as mature and very efficient. Great work Aroma staff.....and please pass on my compliments to the chef.
