Quick info
About Oriental Aroma
Oriental Aroma is a Chinese restaurant in Swindon, at 50 High St, with a function space alongside the main dining room. The menu includes a dedicated vegan section with the vegan options clearly marked, and a separate section covers vegan and gluten-free dishes. Mock prawn toast and mock satay chicken with rice sit among the vegan choices, and crispy seaweed is also on the menu. When dinner ends, the evening carries on with a disco and nightclub atmosphere, so a meal can lead into a night out. The all-you-can-eat option works on a one-main-at-a-time basis.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism is specific. One takeaway customer on New Year's Eve waited over an hour past the requested pickup time with no call or update, and felt let down despite being a regular. Another found the all you can eat rules restrictive, with no separate starter or second course orders and only one main at a time. That reviewer also objected to a non refundable deposit per head on a half empty Friday and a new price marker penned over the menu.

“Absolutely incredible! My girlfriend and I ordered a takeaway this evening, we are vegan and gluten free and the options that Oriental Aroma offered were just brilliant. The food was amazing, service was really friendly and delivery was very fast too! We will be coming back many times 😊🫶🏽”

“Been on the lookout for a Chinese that caters for vegans and fiiiinally found it. The menu for vegan options is huuugee and all items are clearly marked so need to worry about whether something is vegan or not. Ordered takeaway for the first time today and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it! it was exactly how I remembered having takeout Chinese food before I went vegan! We had mock prawn toast, mock satay chicken with rice and crispy seaweed! The atmosphere inside was cool and the staff friendly when we went to pick up our food! Definitely considering trying a sit down meal at some point! Thank u guys! 🩷”

“Oriental Aroma – Best Chinese I’ve Had in Years 🥡🌱 Since going vegan, finding a really good Chinese takeaway hasn’t always been easy, but Oriental Aroma has been a brilliant find. They’re not a vegan restaurant, but they cater really well for it, with a wide range of options — and everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. Proper flavour, fresh ingredients, and genuinely satisfying (not just “good for vegan food” just good, full stop). The service is excellent too — friendly, quick, and reliable, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re vegan (or just want some really tasty Chinese food), I’d highly recommend giving them a try. You won’t be disappointed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Absolutely shocking service, New Year’s Eve we called at 11am to place our order for dinner which we would have liked to have picked up at 20:40. Over an hour of waiting for the food when we arrived to collected, no communication as only the slightest hint of an apology or explanation. We love this place and it’s our go to Chinese because of the GF options, getting takeout from there at least twice a month. All it needed was a call at 8pm when they knew they were running late and we could have managed, as it stands we have a house full of hungry people and feel massively let down. But to let people at least 10 others in the same position for well over an hour without so much as an update or even some type of complimentary refreshment, means we will think twice about going back.”
