My wife and I came to Niagara on the lake for a little wine and wellness retreat and when we walked past Aura on the Lake the delicious smells let us know that we had found our restaurant spot! The owner greeted us and walked us through the menu, giving us tips and suggestions throughout our evening. We chose the dinner for 2 menu and had some of the most amazing Indian food we have ever tasted! I can’t wait to go back to try it all, but the appetizer and dessert we had were truly amazing!!! A huge thank you to the owner for an incredible start to our vacation!

Loved the food and hospitality here. They have selected dishes which must be their unique style of serving. Lovely concentration into the dishes. Loved their Delhi Butter Chicken and Naan. The Malai chicken is a must try dish here.

Aura On The Lake is a true gem in Niagara-on-the-Lake! Their service is warm and attentive, and the quality of food is exceptional. I was especially impressed by their courage to revive forgotten Indian dishes like Murg Wajid Ali — it’s rare to find a restaurant in Canada that honours classic recipes while reinventing how Indian cuisine is presented. Their bar is another highlight, with an amazing selection of Indian liquors you won’t find anywhere else in the region.

We had the most unforgettable experience at Aura on the Lake for a very special occasion—surprising my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Chef Sharma is a true genius in his approach to Indian cooking. His passion and creativity sine through every dish, elevating traditional flavors with a modern twist. My South Indian family can be tough critics of restaurant food, but when my Auntie is asking the server if she can have a recipe, you know you’re on the mark. Beyond the food, Chef Sharma and his team treated us with such warmth and kindness. We were treated like family and I am so grateful their part in such a memorable event. Thank you so much for making this milestone celebration so special!

Great restaurant to enjoy a meal. We came in late afternoon but they still served us lunch. Super good salmon bowl that came with tasty mushroom matar. The chicken rice bowl was good too, especially the sauce. The mango lasse wasn't too sweet like many other places we've tried. Very quiet and spacious interior. Highly recommended!!

We did the date night dinner for two and it was outstanding! It was like a flavor explosion with exceptional quality. Highly recommend this. Dahi Puri Chicken Tikka Masala Goan Fish Curry Garlic Naan Rice Gulab Jamun
