Tucked away in the bustling heart of Ahmedabad, Bella Aroma at Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre is more than just a restaurant—it’s a vibrant ode to the Mediterranean and Arab worlds, offering a diverse culinary experience that caters to all palates. Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, Jain, or seafood enthusiast, Bella Aroma promises a flavour-packed journey through the rich cuisines of the Mediterranean.
A Tale of Flavor and Adventure
The story behind Bella Aroma is as enchanting as the dishes it serves. It all begins with a chef named Marco, whose passion for food, travel, and adventure led him to the kitchens of Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad. His culinary tales and secret recipes, shared with the hotel’s kitchen team, have now found a home on the restaurant’s menu, each dish a testament to Marco’s love for Mediterranean cuisine.
The Ambiance: A Mediterranean Escape
Located on the lobby level, Bella Aroma is designed to transport you to the sun-soaked coasts of the Mediterranean. The restaurant’s interiors strike a balance between casual relaxation and refined dining. With sections for laid-back lounging and more formal dining areas, Bella Aroma offers a versatile space for every occasion. The décor, with its blues, greys, and wavy patterns, mirrors the coastal elegance of the Mediterranean, while modern chic touches add a bright, welcoming vibe.
A Feast from the Mediterranean
Bella Aroma’s menu is a rich tapestry of flavours, drawing from the culinary traditions of Italy, Greece, Spain, the South of France, Turkey, Morocco, and Lebanon.
Start your journey with their selection of soups, like the refreshing Tomato and Peppers Gazpacho, a vegan-friendly cold Spanish soup, or the aromatic Greek Avgolemono, a chicken soup enriched with a lemon-egg sauce. For those craving something heartier, the Moroccan Lamb Harira or the velvety Chicken and Asparagus soup with poached egg and herbed sour cream are sure to satisfy.
Salads at Bella Aroma are a celebration of freshness and texture. The Syrian and Lebanese Tabbouleh is reimagined with quinoa, while the Turkish Mezze platter offers a vegan-friendly array of delights. The Cous Cous, a Moroccan and Tunisian staple, is a vibrant mix of chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, eggs, and mint. For a taste of the Mediterranean coast, try the classic Caesar Salad, the Lebanese Fattoush, or the Greek Feta Salad with avocado.
When it comes to starters, the menu dazzles with options like Lebanese Fatayer—spinach and ricotta pies—zesty Peri Peri Prawns, Shawarma, Sumac Garlic Chicken, Kebab Halabi, and the tantalizing Prawns Pil Pil.
Pizza lovers are in for a treat with Bella Aroma’s diverse toppings on 48-hour-aged sourdough shells, while pasta aficionados can enjoy house-made creations or custom-made pasta dishes tailored to their tastes.
For those seeking a more substantial meal, the menu offers timeless classics such as Greek Moussaka, Spanish Seafood Paella, Roasted Chicken, Moroccan Lamb Tagine, Chermoula Salmon, and Piri Piri Prawns.
A Sweet Finale
No Mediterranean meal is complete without a sweet finish, and Bella Aroma’s dessert selection does not disappoint. Indulge in the rich, creamy layers of Umm Ali, an Egyptian bread pudding, or savour the moist warmth of their Date Cake. The Spanish-style Tres Leches pudding, the crispy, syrup-soaked Kunafa, and the iconic Tiramisu are perfect for ending your meal on a sweet note.
Bella Aroma at Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a destination where the flavours of the Mediterranean come alive, promising a dining experience that is both exquisite and memorable.
