Friendly, efficient service. The appetizer was very good. As a main, ordered the tandoori salmon which came with mint rice and mango salad. The salmon was good. The rice was good but cold. The mango salad was more of a garnish and contained no mango. Maybe it was in the dressing but we couldn’t taste it. A bit expensive for what we got.

As always, this lovely place NEVER disappoints. Everything is a perfect marriage of spices with just the right amount of heat where the flavour comes through and creates joy in the soul. A perfect dining experience. I would recommend Aura on the Lake to anyone who enjoys authentic, cooked with love, Indian food.

A little overpriced for the amount of food, but it's Niagara on the Lake. Service was a little slow, but that was stated on their website when I made the reservation. Great to have a menu that outlines what is vegan/vegetarian which is why we booked the restaurant.
