Hostess did accidentally charge us for something we didn't order but was quick to fix it. Food is definitely pricey but great! Since this is located in the upper west side, portions are understandably a little smaller than what you normally would get elsewhere. The flavors are all there but the size is lacking. All the food was really good! Palak paneer was my favorite, but it tastes better without naan. Butter chicken was great with garlic naan or kabuli naan! Food came out really quickly which was nice. We got our food after around 15 minutes. Granted we were also the only party there in the beginning. Place seated maybe 10-12 people maximum on the first floor so it is very small. read more

The food at Angaar is spectacular. They have incorporated infused savory flavors into their food. I get the Navrathan Korma! The colors and spices of their vegetable curry are not only pleasing to the eye, but they are a hit with the taste buds. The service is efficient. I recommend Angaar. read more

After living in NYC for two years, Angaar was my last meal before moving -- it's a travesty I didn't discover it earlier, because it's some of the best food the UWS has to offer. Good portion sizes for a decent price, and INCREDIBLE flavor across all the dishes. The kabuli naan and tikki masala chicken are to die for. Staff was friendly and helpful the whole visit. Will come back the next time I'm back in the city!! read more

Went here for lunch and the cauliflower was really good (aloo gobi). Perfect for a cold wintry freezing day. The spices and veggies make it a healthy choice. The rice was not old tasting but fresh! There are just 6 seats downstairs. But there is an upstairs. The pix are from a previous visit. Not sure how they populated. read more

We had a really good family dinner. The food is good, its flavorful with plenty of options. The restaurant doens't have much for a decor or atmosphere but the food is solid. The wine selected is very limited so its just all about curries and rice, which they do really well. On the casual side. read more

*****Fantastic! Angaar is consistently delicious and amazing, the staff is kind and attentive, we always leave feeling great. It's a little oasis on the upper west side. read more

I would recommend this place if you're in the mood for Indian food and are in the west side. There's not many Indian food places in the neighborhood but this one is great! The ambiance isn't fancy at all. The front patio area feels like a shed and the upstairs dining area is stuffy. But the flavors are great! We often get the paneer makhani as well as the bindi masala (okra) which they cook down dry. The breads are fresh and hot. The service is nice and polite! It's a refreshing restaurant amidst the slew of pizza and pasta that overwhelms the neighborhood. read more

Vibe: 4/10 Service: 10/10 - originally we were seated near the door which was a bit cold, but they moved us as soon as someone left! We really appreciated that Value: 6/10 Vegetable samosas: 7/10 Tandoori chicken: 7/10 - good, but not enough meat on the bones and didn't have as bold of flavors as other tandoori I've had Chicken tikka masala: 6/10 - good, rich and creamy, but was missing the flavor profile of a true tikka masala. Tasted more like a rich tomato soup Naan: 8.5/10 Overall: 6.93/10 (3.46/5) read more

We ordered and had food delivered on one of the rainiest Fridays in NYC's history. This Indian food was pure sunshine. Some of the best I have ever had. We kept it simple: butter chicken, a chicken curry, lamb in puréed spinach, garlic naan. Every sauce, every bite...just oh so wonderful. And such perfect light, light rice. Will try to check in to actual restaurant in near future. read more

I was starving and looking for a nice meal. I got it and with great, kind service from Mir. I got the Malai Kofta which has delectable dumplings of vegetables inside it. It was so good. There's a sweetness to it too. I love Indian food without meat and this met that expectation. Lots of sauce. The rice was perfect. Mir recommended the Aloo Prantha, which is naan bread with mashed potatoes inside. It was good, and I'm glad he recommended it. Mir is smiley and kind the whole time. He made my experience wholesome and inviting. Total with tip came to $30. I was so full after. Perfect and very speedy. Mir and another woman came to fill my water a lot---appreciated! read more

We came here as a part of a party and while I don't have many pictures of the food we had, the food here was absolutely amazing. We had a little bit of everything but I distinctly remember the shrimp and chicken 65 appetizers, and all dishes were tasty in their own ways, and everything tasted very authentic. The service was excellent, and the owners are also extremely friendly and welcoming. You can tell by the wine pour they are generous with those as well. There are a few tables on the main floor but the 2nd floor has much more seating. Their takeout seems really popular, we could see a takeout order being picked up every few minutes for the entire 2ish hours we were there. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

A lovely little place with great food and very friendly service. The biryani is unusually good!

Good Indian food. I got the palak paneer and it was very simple. I wasn't bowled over by the flavors. It could have been spicier and had a little more oomph. Relatively cheap compared to some other Indian places. But also didn't get as much rice as a normal restaurant it seemed. Nice servers! Sat on the top floor. Not decorated super cute. read more

PLEASE stop being so stingy with the portions. I paid $5.50 for ONE piece of naan? And it wasn't even fresh. I had to remind the person that handed me my order that I was supposed to get two sides of rice - one for each dish, as is customary. How much does it take to make rice anyways? 50 cents? C'mon. This place always tries to get away with one rice dish for two people. The amount of chicken in the dishes has decreased as well. I would gladly eat here more often if I felt it was worth the price. Instead, I feel robbed. It's unfortunate because the food is so good. The sauces taste great but omg.. I'm disappointed each time because the portions just get smaller and smaller. Please for the love of god give your customers more food. read more

Angaar - Garlic naan - $5.50 for ONE?? - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Lunch was delicious! Chicken tikka masala, dal, vegetable, rice and naan. Good value, great service.

Atmosphere (3/5): Right when you walk in, you are welcomed with the aroma of spices is intoxicating. You walk into a tight homey dining space that fits 10 people, connected right to the kitchen. There's some half-outdoor dining available and then a second floor that overlooks the lower floor. The second floor can accommodate upwards of 15 people and the bathroom. Service (5/5): While the staff did not speak English very well, they were extremely welcoming and took the time to get to know me! They served everyone with a warmth and professionalism. I felt like I was a guest in their home. Food: The food was FIRE--there was such depth to the flavors Vegetable Samsoa (4/5): The samosa complemented well with the various dips! I felt like the inside could have been a Garlic Naan (4/5): I would definitely recommend getting 1 order per person as they were not terribly big but very nicely seasoned and soft. I wish they were saltier or had a bit more garlic flavor. Kashmiri Roganjosh (5/5): The lamb chunks were very tender. The curry was seasoned with a punch of flavors and just slightly spicy. I loved every bite. I commend the staff who have to run up and down with our orders!! Overall, very pleasant and delicious meal (and leftovers!) read more

A bit pricey for the small ish portions but solid Indian food! We walked in around 8pm on a Sunday and got a seat inside immediately. Ordered mango lassi, Kashmiri Roganjosh Curry, Lemon Rice, Saffron Rice, and butter chicken. Mango lassi was very smooth and more sweet / less tart than others I've had which is neither a good nor bad thing, overall hit the spot. The Kashmiri roganjosh was def better than the butter chicken bc the lamb in the Kashmiri was super tender but the chicken was pretty dry in butter chicken. In terms of the flavored rice, I really liked the lemon rice bc super flavorful and would eat it even on its own. Saffron rice went well with the curries but was a bit much on its own. Service was decently quick. read more

I was very hungry and wanted to eat something before the concert at the Lincoln Center. I wanted something different, thus decided to stop by this place. Initially I thought it is a small spot, but, it has an upstairs! Very nice and clean. When I entered, I've noticed pleasant environment with cheerful clients enjoying their diverse food choices. I've decided to stay. I was warmly welcomed and guided upstairs. I picked the table I wanted to sit at and soon after I've ordered food. It did not take a long time when I got appetizers I asked for. Soon after entrée arrived. Food was very good. Thank you. read more

I tragically was so hungry that I forgot to take photos of the food, but trust that we conquered. Angaar is a small place with just a few tables; there is an upstairs area, but I'm not sure how big that space is-- I just know it's there because my friend used the bathroom up there. We ended up sharing the chicken tikka masala, the chana masala, and an order of garlic naan. Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. Even though they came in small bowls, they lasted a long time with the rice, and we scooped out every drop of the sauces of both dishes before leaving the restaurant. Like, even after the chicken in the chicken tikka masala was gone, we were still going at that sauce. I would highly recommend the garlic naan-- so garlicky I could cry. It is somewhat pricey, but Indian food generally is so it was nothing I wasn't expecting. And I always judge service firstly on how full my water cup stays, and I'm happy to report that they always made sure it was full. I never had to ask for a water refill, and I think that is beautiful. read more

We ordered delivery from Angaar for the first time last night. Overall, the food was tasty but it was a bit pricey for what it was. We ordered the following from Uber Eats since we had an offer, but the prices are actually slightly cheaper through other delivery platforms: - Chicken Zafrani ($18+): cooked in cashew nut sauce, herbs and flavors with saffron - Aloo Gobi ($15+): florets of cauliflower and potatoes cooked in a wok with cumin seeds, tomato, herbs and spices - Naan ($4+) - Rosemary Naan ($5+) The Chicken Zafrani was creamier than I expected with a hint of spiciness and it was delicious. There wasn't a whole lot of chicken in it, which was fine, but it felt overpriced considering. The basmati rice which came with it was cooked perfectly and I loved it. The Aloo Goni was good, too, but it was more like an overpriced appetizer. The naan, unfortunately, was a disappointment. I love naan so we ordered 2, but they weren't fresh and tasted like they'd been sitting there for a while. Considering they're $4 to $5+ each, we had higher expectations. We did enjoy the meal overall, but would be more selective in what we order in the future. read more

I had dinner here last night and had the best experience! First off, the restaurant is cozy and welcoming. We were greeted by all of the employees and got to chat with them about recommendations and their Diwali celebrations. Jaman and Mir were so friendly, usually I order in but I will be coming back to dine in because everyone is so welcoming. Now to the food: Chicken tikka masala- amazing, classic Lamb Korma- very flavorful and tender meat Chicken biryani- new dish for me, it was so good and spicy, they provided a white sauce for the biryani and I highly recommend the combo! Garlic naan- a classic, perfectly executed Mango Lassi- also new for me and I loved it, very creamy and not too sweet, so good! Overall, it was a great experience, I will be coming back! read more

I loved the lamb vindaloo! I asked for it medium spicy and thought it was the perfect level of hot. The curry was decently portioned for the price and came with rice, but obviously I got a side order of the garlic naan -- it's a must! I would also recommend getting the mango lassi if you get the curry -- every spicy food needs a sweet drink to go with! The restaurant itself is pretty cozy but there's a decent amount of outdoor, covered seating. I went at 7 pm on a Saturday without reservations, and was able to be seated right away. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Super solid Indian restaurant with a lovely interior design. We stumbled in on a Saturday night without a reservation and were promptly seated downstairs. The server was very kind and gracious with us as we asked about the menu. To eat we had: Vegetable samosa: a classic done well. The filling was flavorful and tasted fresh. They also served them with a side of pickled onion (I think) that was sharp and complimented the fried dough. Lamb tikka masala: I loved this dish, the sauce was wonderfully spiced and the meat was soft with just a little bit of fat that provided a rich and satisfying flavor. Would recommend! Dal Makhani: not necessarily my favorite, just because of the texture, but the flavor profile was on point. A subtle level of spice anyone can get behind. Overall, I can't find anything to complain about and would definitely recommend this place to a friend. read more

After a picnic and hanging out in Central Park, a few friends and I went in search for a place to have dinner. One of my friends mentioned that there was an Indian restaurant nearby, which was perfect because I was craving that type of cuisine. We were seated immediately and were well taken care of throughout the meal. I had a tough time choosing what to order because there were so many wonderful sounding options. I finally decided to try the lamb biryani. I was definitely not disappointed. The lamb biryani was served in a thick-bottomed bowl and covered with naan-like bread on top. This was the first time I saw it presented in this way and I found it to be delightful. The waitress showed the table how to break open the bread with the large serving spoon, thus allowing us to get to the basmati rice mixed with marinated lamb and a medley of vegetables, including onion, peas, and carrots. The bread was tasty - Slightly crisp with a great texture. The biryani rice was full of aromatic seasoning and the lamb was melt in your mouth tender, flavorful, and juicy. I also got to try the rosemary naan, which was nicely buttery with fresh rosemary herb sprinkled on top. Mmmmm! My friend ordered the lamb chops, which looked amazing and was a decent portion size. It came with a fresh side salad, consisting of spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, and a bit of dressing. The service was fantastic and our waitress was lovely. She made us feel welcome and we knew we were in good hands. The prices are pretty good, averaging around $20 per entrée, which is comparable to other places in the area. I would certainly be open to returning to sample other dishes and the Mango Lassi, which I neglected to have this time around. read more

The guy 'Ricky' tells me there's no seating available upstairs but the next customer arrives and automatically there's room available upstairs. Then goes on to add 18% service charge to the bill and tells me it's legal in NYC. At the end I made him remove it. 18% service charge for passing the food from the window next to us to us. Ridiculous. read more

I was very pleased with the service here. Everyone was so friendly and kind. It's such a cozy restaurant with an upstairs seating. I am so sad that it wasn't a five star rating because I wanted to like it. The restaurant offers a lot of options for vegetarians and non vegetarians. I ordered lamb saag, and chicken tandoori. The lamb saag was good but the lamb was not as soft as I would have liked, and the saag was very puréed and creamy (depending on different restaurants some are more puréed and creamier than others and I prefer more of a hearty spinach with more ginger and garlic and less cream). The tandoori chicken had a lot of flavor and had a nice Smokey charred grilled taste. Nonetheless, I was disappointed that it was on the bone. I think this definitely would add more flavor but I like having chunks/Kebob style. Rice is very fluffy. We would have ordered dessert but we were brought the check right away and we weren't asked if we wanted to have dessert or tea. Indian desserts are our favorite. I am not going to say I wouldn't return but I wasn't very impressed. My stomach wasn't also in the best shape later that evening (and Indian food is 90% of my diet and this never happens). read more
