A huge menu that's entirely gluten free, minus one item. One of my fav dining experiences in Ottawa with incredible tasting food, & it managed to still be an affordable place to go out for dinner.View more

After hearing about this place from friends & colleagues, finally tried it for the first time & it is definitely worth the hype. They were kind enough to seat us despite it being close to 9:30 PM & the dishes were just awesome. They truly are small plates & it is one of the few places that does this really well as it was intended to be (rather than as an afterthought on a mixed menu). Also, clearly the chef/ownership understands food intolerances/allergies as basically EVERYTHING is gluten free...which is exceedingly rare. & I didn't feel like I missed out on anything as a result...View more

The atmosphere is warm & friendly thanks to excellent service (shoutout to server Zachary) & rustic decor. The food tastes like it was cooked by angels. This is a fantastic restaurant, especially if you'd like to sample many different dishes of authentic greek cuisine! I *highly* recommend Aroma Meze.View more

Had a great time enjoying the many options on the menu. The fish tacos, lamb tacos, lamb sliders, dips, merguez shakshuka, dolmades, & dattes with bleu cheese are now my favorite go to. Also enjoyed some very good Greek red wine (unfortunately can't remember the name) & sparkling white wine. Def must go backView more

Cute little restaurant, with great staff & nice vibe but the food is alright. The portion sizes are very little & sort of disappointing considering it's Greek food. Also they said it's shareable dishes but with the portion sizes I think not. The Greek salad which is very small too had like two olives...pretty disappointing as the olives do make the Greek salad a Greek salad! The octopus I had was yummy, though a tad on the dryer end. The lamb sliders were yummy & I would say, still somewhat filling. Overall, I would recommend it but I am not sure if I would be back.View more

Best restaurant in Ottawa. Aroma Meze is a fantastic Greek restaurant in Ottawa. It's warm & welcoming. The place serves authentic Greek dishes, & everything tastes fresh & flavorful. Thanks to Jeff & his team in the kitchen. The staff are super friendly & make you feel like family. They're great at recommending dishes, especially if you're new to Greek cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for both casual dinners & special occasions. This restaurant is a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in Ottawa. Highly recommended!View more

Food was delicious! I love the small plates style which allows you to enjoy many different dishes. My date & I had a lot of fun choosing our courses & trying new food together. Highly recommend the arancini & the saganaki. I would stay away from the poutine unless you're craving, still good but I wish we had tried something more novel. Service can be a little slow sometimes but it's understandable given the amount of dishes coming out of the kitchen. 9/10, a must try!View more

We had an amazing time at Aroma. The staff is friendly & easy to exchange with. You can tell they are genuinely happy to work there. Despite getting 6 plates to share, we could easily chat without feeling interrupted all the time by the waiters. Foodwise, we were more than pleased with the options & it was a bit difficult to choose from. We both enjoyed sharing & trying multiple plates. From now long, when I'll be around Ottawa, I'll have Aroma Meze on my list of places to go.View more
