Ordered takeout from here and was so pleased with the quality of the food! I ordered paneer tikka masala and got a side of garlic naan and everything was delicious! Generous portion and you could tell they made their basmati rice fresh (it wasn't packed in a cube in the takeout box). They also gave kheer (sweet dish) and some savory chips on the side as part of the order (complimentary). Will absolutely order from here again or try going in-person during their lunch buffets! read more

Had take out dinner and it was delicious. We got everything spicy and it did not disappoint. The samosa appetizers were crispy flaky and so delicious accompanied by two side sauces for dipping. The garlic naan was perfect for dipping into our entrees. Caution when eating the goat vindaloo (there are bones loose inside the sauce). Very flavorful overall. The mango lassi was sweet and thick. Pick up was easy and the service was quick yet they didn't do much to verify I was the correct person for my order. I just said I was picking up and they handed me the next bag in line. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and pleasing with may elements of their culture represented.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend eating here and definitely want to try eating at the restaurant next time. Happy eating! read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and found park behind the restaurant. Was greeted and seated with my group. We had a great server her name was Reese. This was all our first time eating Indian food and Reese was so helpful. Reese explained the cooking. methods and seasoning of the best selling dishes, she made easier for us to pick our appetizers and main dishes! We started with the lollipop chicken, garlic shrimp, and butter garlic Naan. The shrimp were out of this world with the creamiest sauce to dip the Naan. WOWWWW explosion of goodness. We shared different dishes for our mains, we had butter chicken, tandoori chicken, & chicken mango curry. Our mouths were having a party of outstanding flavors never had before. Each dish was unique the butter chicken was the best one for us all. The tandoori chicken was super flavorful served on a sizzling fajita dish. The mango chicken was a perfect hint of sweet and tangy. If you ever wanted to have Indian cuisine and not sure where to go, look no further than Aangara for the best experience! Oh yeah they are BYOB read more

We were welcomed as soon as we came in by a polite young lady. She seated us and promptly got us menus and water. The menu is extensive and has many gluten free options. The group had the chicken korma, butter chicken, chicken seekh kebab and tandoori chicken. All the entrees were shared and everyone enjoyed each dish. The flavor and spices were great! The butter garlic naan was amazing! We were pleasantly surprised with a small dish of rice kheer. The sweetness was the perfect ending to a delicious meal! Many people came in to get takeout while we were there. We would definitely consider this option in the future. Definitely check this place out if you enjoy Indian food! read more

Went for lunch to Aangara and loved it! I wish I took photos of the menu because my daughter and I ordered this tray of food (see photo). It gave a fabulous selection of tastes.

It's a personal buffet! Loved it! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Space is very small with around 8 seats on the ground floor. Looked like there was more seats upstairs for when it gets very busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were a lot of people that came in on a Friday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken Tikka masala was very good. Very tomato forward, which is my favorite. The paneer was kind of salty and needed a lot of rice to eat with it. I really enjoyed the garlic naan. It was crispy and fluffy at the same time. We also got the mango lasso that was a lot more orange in color than I'm use to. It tasted pretty good, even with mangos not being in season. Would come here again if I was in the neighborhood! read more

The service here was very good, they don't rush you and will make the spice level to your preference. Th ambience is clean, cozy, inviting with Indian music playing in the dining room.

Everything was freshly made, the aromas were so nice, and we felt that this restaurant was a very nice addition to the food selections this area needed. This is authentic and we will return! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The indoor seating is spacious, and I was able to get a reservation for 13 people just a week in advance for a Saturday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitstaff was friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. If you can handle the heat, I highly recommend requsting Indian spicy. As for the appetizers, the paneer tikka was a bit bland, but everything else had great flavor. Dinner, we tried malai kofta, dal fry and paneer tikka and would recommend all! It's BYOB, and the staff is very accommodating. Overall, delicious food, and very affordable. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food and service very, very good. We ordered vegetable samosa, and they were very good. Wife ordered mulligatawny, she loved it. Palak chicken, and butter chicken entrees were very tasty.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]An excellent spot with the family. With plenty of seating, friendly servers, cozy interior, and warm spices that fill the air, my gut was telling me this is the spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the chicken tikka masala (mild), lamb roganjosh (medium), and chicken palak (spicy). Everything was aromatic, flavorful, and tender. Also, this place packs spice if you order something higher than medium spice, so caution to those who can't handle spice levels. The spice is well integrated into each dish, not a simple addition of chilis. Even if you can't handle spice, I would still recommend you get medium. It is very approachable and gives it that authentic flavor. The chicken tikka masala wasn't quite the same and after a couple bites, I concluded it was the spice that was missing. Aside from that, all the dishes were excellent including the fresh naan and samosa. Well done! read more

Food was very generously proportioned and tasted delicious. Would highly recommend! It was a take out order. The preparation was well done.

Aangara is amazing. We've eaten at quite a few Indian restaurants in NJ including on Oak Tree Road in Edison. Aangara easily holds up to the best of them. The food is outstanding, the portions are large, and they even throw in a mini dessert for free. We have tried many dishes and we've loved every single one so far. Oh, yeah, and the pani puri is killer. We really can't get enough of this place. We've stopped going to our other Indian restaurants entirely. read more

Aangara Indian Cuisine is a welcome addition to Keyport. The food is solid and they have an extensive menu. I tried the garlic naan, chicken 65, butter chicken, and the vegetable samosa. The garlic naan and butter chicken was good. The chicken 65 was a tasty appetizer. The vegetable samosa was a little too salty around the edges but nothing that diverted attention from the filling. I will eat here again. read more

MY NEW FAVORITE SPOT Opened up less than 2 months ago and they're seriously killing it. I'm already anticipating my next visit! We ordered all mild level heat, and, honestly, glad I did because I'm not sure I would've been able to tolerate more heat -- for me it was perfect! The service is great, always attentive, always making sure the heat level is ok to your taste. The ambiance is delightful and authentic, I enjoyed every minute of our stay --- bonus it's BYOB, and everything pairs well with wine read more

Disappointed. We drove a long distance because of the reviews and the buffet. When we arrived, we were informed that this restaurant no longer offers a buffet. Not sure how recently this change was made because the website and menu still advertise a buffet. We wanted to leave, but after driving so far, we decided to stay. Another table did in fact leave after being seated once they learned about the buffet. The service was okay. The woman took our empty water, filled it from the sink (hope it's filtered) and put the container right back into the fridge. I guess they don't clean it between guests. Seems a little gross. For two people, our bill came out to about $100 when we only each got a chicken dish. Another table next to us sat for a while to breakdown the bill as well, as they seemed equally disappointed in the pricing. Expensive for sure!! The food itself was not too bad. Not the best I've had either. Most likely will never come back or recommend to anyone sadly. read more

This place used to be the old cornucopia and I have to say, the place they replaced it with was outstanding. The dishes were so delicious. The lassuni gobi (fried cauliflower) was mouth watering. I have never tried the batata puri chat we ordered. It was so good. There was beautiful blueberries and pomegranate seeds on them. It was absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to bring my coworkers and my gf's back with me. I look forward to going again with more friends. We went at 230 so the place was empty but the waitress was very sweet and attentive. My aunt and I really enjoyed lunch here. read more

Aangara Indian Cuisine - Garlic naan, butter chicken (with cashews in case of allergies ask) papad appetizer, - Indian Near Me - Keyport, New Jersey

We booked a table Aangara on monday and to our surprise it was packed and even though they were low on staff the service was really great. My son has allergies to nuts but loves tandoori grill and they literally made sure that the food is nut free marination (as they use cashews in marination) and in a different tandoor where there was no possibility of cross contamination which is really commendable. The food was top notch! Definitely worth it. We enjoyed palak paneer, tofu matar paneer, mixed tandoori grill, chicken samosas, harabhara kabab and naans!! Will recommend and also go again read more

Absolutely loved the food and service was prompt. The server checked on us several times and was accommodating. Favorite dish was burnt garlic paneer. Was one of the best paneer that I have had. Vegetable biryani was also delicious. Will surely be coming back to this place. read more

I had the most delicious goat in a tomato cream sauce. Large meaty pieces that fell off the bone. The rice was a different kind than I've had before ( it was ok). Overall the food was excellent.

My husband and I recently moved into the area and wanted to try the buffet here. We had family driving up from MD and were running late.. The staff was beyond amazing and still let us have the buffet even though we got there just as it was wrapping up at 3pm. The staff even offered to refill it and reheat it for the 6 of us. The food tasted absolutely amazing and I'm so glad we got to take our family there to enjoy a delicious lunch after their long drive to NJ. The staff was also super kind to us and were willing to accommodate our needs, which also made the experience enjoyable. We 10/10 recommend and we will definitely be back. read more

Went on 14th Feb - [[HIGHLIGHT]]the heat was not working[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the restaurant was understaffed and over-ordered. The food was way below average - probably one of the worst Indian meals I've had in NJ in a while. The the tandoori chicken was just bland chicken with some food coloring, the rice was stale - the pani puri was fresh but the water was a salt bomb. The service was sad - clearly the restaurant was overwhelmed with the orders and not in a position to serve effectively. read more

Very tasty and delicious food. Must visit place in new jersey. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Visited with family. Everyone was happy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

We are so glad that we ate lunch today at Aangara in Keyport. What a treat that we now have an Indian restaurant here on this side of Monmouth County. We are vegan, and what a delight to have an entire section of a menu devoted to us. So many choices! We ordered the Chole (chickpeas) and Gobi Palak, which is a wonderful curry of spinach and cauliflower. We asked for medium spice and it was perfect for us. You must order the roti. It was divine! Fresh, with nice chew and baked on premises in their Tandori oven. Our servers were so sweet and attentive. A nice young man made sure to ask us what we thought of the meal, and made sure the spice was correct. We had a nice conversation about this type of Indian food (northern) versus food from other regions. Highly recommend! A nice new neighborhood restaurant for Keyport. read more
