AROMA KITCHEN & ULTRA LOUNGE - Dallas, Texas

Kaiju Kid

More of a hangout than a restaurant. Loud DJ music, dance floor, outside patio and skimpy dressed waitresses. Service is slow. They just opened, so maybe things will run smoother later on. If this sounds like your kinda scene, then give it a go.

I traveled from out of town to visit Dallas. I’ve heard some reviews about this place and I wanted to give it a try. We arrived around 1300. The sign says open but there’s no one inside and the door is locked. The sign in the front says 1100 to 0200. I’m highly disappointed.

Our first experience at this place was unfavorable and unpleasant. We arrived at 10:30pm for a Friday night outing for a 4th of July, 2022 weekend with friends and family since Google states it opens at 10pm. We were informed that the lady that collects the money at the entrance and the bar lady had not arrived yet, so we were asked to stand outside till they showed up for their job. As we later found out, this is not a place to go dancing. Rather, it is a Hookah lounge with only 3 to 4 bar stools to sit and listen to music. If you did not pay for sections (seating couch in advance), you are stuck with standing for the duration of your visit. Upon entering and seeing the seating availability and no dancing floor, we decided to leave immediately and requested for a refund, which of course they refused. As such, some of my guest decided to leave and some of us stayed behind. We sat on the available bar stool and nobody came over to take our order for food or drinks throughout our stay. We had to place our drinks order at the bar. The margarita we ordered at the bar cost about $13 in a very, very small plastic cup and was watered down because it tasted like juice. DJ played good music, but, it was a little too loud to converse with your guest and since there was no dance floor, we were bored and left at 12midnight. I am definitely not recommending this lounge to anyone looking for a good outing experience on a weekend. Go somewhere else, anywhere else. In all, they lack professionalism.

For my 1st visit, I honestly don't c what the hype is. I'd rather be at Abi. The waitresses were sweet but that light skinned door girl Sat night, sizing up every woman that walks in with a dress, GOTTA GOOOOOO!!!

What in the African time is going on here? Went at 10pm on a Saturday and they were still cleaning and prepping for the night. Don’t go before midnight I guess.

My friend reserved a section for a birthday but they didn’t mention there was a limit of 4 on a section. Lady collecting money was super rude for no reason, no one is attacking you ma’am. Bouncers we’re cool.

20$ to enter as an individual. West African music, Nigerian mostly. Music was good. Seating was pretty, I’m not going back off the strength of that lady’s energy but do you.

Came on a Friday.
Really small venue without many places to sit. Pretty dead until midnight. Music is okay afro-beats/caribbean mix. There really isn't a dance floor. Only reason I am giving this place 1 star is because they charge a $20 cover per person. NOT worth it. There's so many nicer places with the same cover. This place would be okay to maybe chill at before going to a bigger/nicer venue, with a dance floor, but definitely not worth $20.

I went to a brunch event today and the service was terrible. We waited an hour and didn't have a server come to our table. I went to the bar and the bartender told us that we should have a server. She went to get a server and ended up coming to our table to take our order (I'm assuming a server still wasn't available almost an hour and a half after the brunch started.). They didn't have any menus for us to view. The bartender tried to tell us about the menu items but the DJ turned the music up and we couldn't hear her or each other. We decided to leave and have brunch somewhere else. I was really looking forward to this place and celebrating my best friend's birthday here.

One of the most unprofessional, unorganized nightclub/lounge I have ever been to.

2 of my Girlfriends went to celebrate my friend birthday around 12:25am, security didn’t even check our purses or pat us or the group in front of us down(right away we felt unsafe). Paid our $24 at the door & found a empty table as soon as we walk in, The bottle girl immediately walked up to us & ask if we wanted to purchase a bottle? we told her yes and Hookah.
We got a bottle of Casamigo & Hookah witch came up to a little over $400, about 25 minute later one of the host came up & told us we had to move because the table was reserved (she was ridiculously rude & disrespectful) so I ask where she want us to put our drinks in Hookah? She went on & say she don’t know because all the free tables are taken, then went on and asked a group of men (complete strangers) next to us if we can squeeze in their section? I told her we are not seating with people we don’t know, she then started to clappra hands and continue telling us we have to move or pay an extra $150 to stay at the table, she then told us that the bottle girl wasn’t supposed to serve us at that table anyways.
I asked her if she was gonna give us a refund because we can’t stand with Hookah & a bottle, she refused, Our bottle girl walked over and told her about the other available tables she can put the other guest there or move us there, she refused to do either.
At this point my friends & I are extremely embarrassed because they called the security guard, the host was talking & clapping her hands which drew a lot of attention.
We got up and left. We wasted $400+, got embarrassed & pretty much Scammed on my friends birthday.
I will never recommend or set foot in this establishment again.
The place have potential but the staff needs to be trained on customer service & better organize
