Aroma Cafe & Secret Garden - Mijas Pueblo

Great little hidd6 gem in Mijas village, the garden is gorgeous and food is excellent, meet cooked to perfection! Been a few time, love it.

This restaurant is utterly delightful and set on one of the lovely streets of Mijas. We were led through a beautiful building & into the huge garden terrace area. It's simply gorgeous. Lots of greenery & almost feels a bit magical. There is an enormous barbeque area where the food is prepared & you can see the various dishes being cooked. I had Argentinian Steak which was melt-in-the mouth perfect. I loved it. Great waiter as well - very dry sense of humour which appealed to me!! 🤣

UPDATE: This is basically what happened to myself and my husband: - We entered the restaurant asked for a table. - They said they have table only in the garden. They also said we should order food if we want to seat in the garden. - We said we are going to order some appetizers, the receptionist Jessica said angrily that we should order everything, which is weird because you don’t tell customers what to order. - Then I said we are going to order food as well and then they said we don’t have table. - Also, while we were trying to get a table, another group came and we saw that the receptionist pushed one of the lady back when she wanted to talked to her. There are a few points that I think it’s good to mention for whom expect a respectful customer service from a restaurant business: 1. It’s very good that a manager defends their staff, but it’s important to keep a balance when it comes to customer service. 2. If the manager Thomas think that me entering the restaurant asking for a table is “intruding”, they seriously need to reconsider their customer service standards. 3. My husband was telling me to leave because he realized the lady is not respectful. Using him as a way to gaslight a customer is shameful. 4. Last but not least, Thomas, don’t worry we choose restaurants with good vibes, good food and respectful customer service, your restaurant is certainly off our list. Initial Review: They are very rude, very bad customer service specially the receptionist, Jessica! Don’t ruin your trip by going to this restaurant.

Food was just okay, we ordered mixed platter with 3 person, and it was really small compared to what we had to pay! The service was nice and they gave us free drinks after we expressed them that we wasnt happy about it so thank you! The yard was nice tho

The Secret Garden is a beautiful place to have a meal. The food was fantastic. Shared a mixed barbecue grill which was exceptional, the wine was gorgeous. It's also reasonably priced. The only thing I'd say was a couple of our side dishes were forgotten, rectified when we pointed it out. The Staff are very friendly but could be a touch more attentive. We asked for coffees but they seemed to get forgotten. Overall a lovely meal and a lovely evening

I expected more from this place. The waiters were not service minded. We ordered the meat tray for 2, that was a huge mistake. The dried out pieces of meat looked like cut out pieces of leftovers and were very bad. They didn't even take the time to explain to us what they were serving on the meat tray. The portion of fries were not enough for 2 people. There were no salt and pepper on the tables, I ask for it and it came in small packages. I had a glass of wine, when I asked the waiters for a glass more it took forever for them to serve it, and when I finally got the wine, it was a totally different wine. I complained and they came with another glass of wine, this one was good. The restaurant area is nice.

We only stopped for drinks but would definitely go again for dinner. The garden looks amazing. The restaurant is devided in small section, makes it more cozy. Great drinks!

The place is absolutely gorgeous, a little green oasis in the center of the cute Mijas pueblo. The food is pretty yummy and good price. The shame they're not super welcoming, as a local I am, I tried to come along to have a glass of wine one evening and they said big no a d not very nicely, even though the place is huge and full of little corners where to enjoy a nice glass of wine aside from the dinning tables... It's a shame 🌚
