The menu at Aman Restaurant at 3594 Jerome Ave in the Bronx delivers a satisfying balance between authentic South Asian flavors and comfort food familiarity. A standout starter is the Chicken Samosa, delicately crisp on the outside and generously filled with spiced minced chicken. For those craving depth in flavor, the Goat Curry shines—rich, tender, and slow-cooked to perfection, it’s infused with warm spices that linger pleasantly on the palate.
Vegetarian diners aren’t left behind. The Chana Masala, a chickpea-based curry, brings a bold and hearty taste, while the Saag Paneer pairs creamy spinach with soft paneer cheese, offering a smooth, well-seasoned contrast. The Dal Tadka is another comfort staple, with yellow lentils tempered in garlic and cumin, perfect for spooning over basmati rice or scooping with warm Garlic Naan.
Aman’s Chicken Biryani deserves mention for its fragrant layering of long-grain rice and marinated chicken, punctuated with fried onions and aromatic spices. The Butter Chicken, creamy and slightly sweet with a smoky tomato base, satisfies those looking for something rich without too much heat. If spice is your thing, the Lamb Vindaloo packs a bold, tangy punch with chili-forward flavors that intensify with each bite.
Side dishes like the Vegetable Pakora offer crunchy contrast, while Raita, a cooling yogurt-based condiment, helps balance the more fiery items. On the bread side, Tandoori Roti provides a slightly charred, chewy base that complements both dry and saucy dishes.
Beverage-wise, the Mango Lassi stands out with its thick, sweet-tart profile that doubles as a palate cleanser. The Masala Chai is spiced just right, making for a warm finish after a flavorful meal.
Every item on the menu feels curated to represent traditional South Asian tastes while accommodating various spice tolerances. Portions are generous, and the use of fresh herbs and bold seasonings adds authenticity across the board.
