Under new ownership, Aroma is re-inventing herself as a cozy alternative in downtown Champaign. Warm byzantium hues fit perfectly with the charm of the new 'sexy toast' creations with fillings that range from fresh roasted portobellos with charred red capsicum to wonderfully tender beef short-ribs with a delicate horseradish cream sauce. Understated Middle-Eastern sides like hummus and tabouleh further enhance a menu that still includes classic Aroma fare like the Cuban sandwich and quesadillas.
Aroma has come a long way in a short time. I look forward to future encounters.
