    3.5 out of 5 stars for lack of AC and keeping the kitchen door open without a proper exhaust and filling the room with burning onion. Food was delicious and came out fast and staff were exceptional, especially given the circumstances. Used to come here before they redecorated and renovated and the food has become more upscale with micro greens for toppings and new menu items. If you want to make it more upscale you have to take care of your Kitchen staff and have a proper vent and turn the AC up. Will come back for the food and staff!

    I came to Angel for dinner, and we had a good time! We did have to wait a while for a table to open up, but service throughout our experience was so kind. All the workers here are welcoming and fun! Inside has a decent amount of tables with moodier lighting and a bar. We placed our order, and the food came out very quick! The Seekh Kebabs were good! Not gamey and was a good tender kebab. The goat biryani was also flavorful and I actually loved the bread layer on top. The pairing with the raita makes the whole dish so delicious.

    Needed to find a new spot for Indian cuisine. Wow what a find. Let's start with The nann- holy moley- light and crispy. Which is so good as you don't feel heavy eating it and maybe less carbs. The service was good, took the time to address our allergies, likes etc . Make a reservation if you can, or get there right after work because it's going to be packed. Ambiance is cool. Definitely will be going back to try more things.

    Great Indian restaurant in Jackson Heights. Place is clean and has a casual/intimate ish vibe. Service was fast and friendly and food was delicious. There really isn't anything i can complain about .. the only thing is it's not the best Indian I had so that's why it gets 4 stars from me.

    Angel Indian is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. EXCELLENT Indian food, made by real Indian people and without the hubbub of being in Manhattan. In the heart of Jackson Heights, Angel Indian is a quintessential pillar of the food scene in the neighborhood and gave me some of the best bites of that year. By the way they make their own paneer - delish! Their special that includes paneer-stuffed naan is a MUST have. It comes with a bunch of sides you eat together for a perfect marriage of spices, seasonings, fresh paneer, delicious butter, lightly sour yogurt and all these different textures with soft, crumble, crunch. Their goat dum biryani is also excellent and has such tender meat with flavorful rice. Their saag paneer was also delicious!

    Veg Pakoda

    Angel is hands down the best Indian food I've ever had -- and honestly better than any Michelin-star Indian restaurant I've been to. The flavors here are just on another level. We ordered the goat dum biryani ($25.99) *a MUST get in my opinion* veg pakoda ($10.99), lamb vindaloo ($21.99), and garlic naan ($5). Every single dish was incredible. The biryani was perfectly cooked and the right spice level as well as the lamb vindaloo, and even the veg pakoda was crispy and super flavorful. If you're anywhere near Jackson Heights, this place is absolutely worth the trip. Waits can get pretty long on the weekends but it's worth it. I'm already thinking about when I can go back.

    Food was amazing! The chicken saag was so tender and so flavorful. It came with basmati rice. The samosa chaat had a great mix of flavors and texture, and was noticeably sweet. I thought the staff was attentive, but I found the restaurant to be very loud with a lot going on. I definitely see myself coming back for the food.

    In a neighborhood saturated with South Asian cuisine options, Angel truly stands out as a gem. I first visited Angel before the pandemic when it was at it's old corner side location with just a few tables, but it has since exploded from making its way to the Michelin guide and having many influencers spotlight their menu. The attention is well deserved, but you will need to plan ahead for meals--especially weekends. You can make a reservation on Resy.com, which is not listed on their Google page or their website. Their new location is more upscale now, with suited up servers and ambient lighting. This is quite the change from the small kitchen wok storefront vibe from their first location. The portions are still generous and a great bang for your buck! There is a decadent shock value to each entree's presentation that has been thoughtfully curated by the chefs. It is apparent that the dishes are prepared with detail and the staff is always attentive to customers. The food comes out fresh, spicy, flavorful and is consistent in quality. The menu is also very accommodating to all dietary needs. Some must-trys are the dum biriyani--the star of the show that has baked naan seared over piping hot biriyani; one of my favorites is the batata puri appetizer--a yogurt and chutney filled crunchy appetizer with potato and chickpea--a literal explosion of flavor and yogurt; I also love the saag, which uses a hearty portion of spinach and mustard greens and you can't go wrong with the tandoori chicken or fish. I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable Indian dining experience! https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/venues/angel-indian-restaurant-ny?extlink=ps-US-Resy-Brand-Conversion-Evergreen&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=11097833704&gclid=CjwKCAiA95fLBhBPEiwATXUsxMR72M4_6P07Jne5yqkx-njuYBz53NDPoXm2w_l7_6iPlthtVCjIoBoCSRoQAvD_BwE&date=2026-01-13&seats=2

    We were seated immediately and even though the restaurant had a solid crowd, the service was attentive and genuinely warm the entire time. We started with the samosas and WOW. We were so close to ordering a second round but had to practice self-control to save room for our entrées. I ordered the butter chicken with roti, and it was everything you want butter chicken to be.. rich, creamy, deeply spiced without being overpowering. My fiancé ordered the goat biryani, and the presentation alone was stunning. The flavor. The tenderness. The layers of spice. So, so, so good. We were already talking about when we're coming back before we even paid the bill. And I have to shout out the staff, when we were packing up leftovers, they kindly added a small container of yogurt sauce for us to take home without us even asking. Highly recommend. Another Jackson Heights gem added to the rotation!

    Happy to see that Angel's has expanded without compromising their delicious food. The new location is much larger/newer/less of a "hole in the wall" vibe compared to the original location. We reordered dishes that we've typically enjoyed (lamb madras, garlic naan, goat dum biryani) and all were excellent. We also tried the samosa chaat app which was full of flavor. Service is polite, accommodating, and apps/entrees are brought out at the perfect pace. Also, they are BYOB.

    We ordered the butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, pani puri, and the garlic naan. Everything was delicious but beware if you have a low spice tolerance. The staff was friendly as well. Would eat again.

    Dahl Patata Puri

    On the evening of 10/15/25, I ate dinner at Angel Indian Restaurant with about 10 other Yelpers. Yelp Elite Andie organized the group dinner. My favorite dish was the Goat Dum Biryani because of the way it was presented. The server cut open a puffed bread "balloon" on top, revealing layers of onions, herbs, rice, and goat. Another favorite of mine was the appetizer Mumba Bhei Puri . It is a rice dish that is so fragrant and perfectly seasoned, it could be a meal on its own. I also enjoyed the Dahl Patata Puri, which looked like meatballs but were actually a fried melange of potatoes, chickpeas, sweetened yoghurt and various spices, shaped into a ball. And that black cumin naan? Addictive doesn't even begin to describe it. I had three pieces and had to stop myself from eating more! A special shout-out to Azai, the general manager, who graciously offered me a complimentary mango lassi after my TAJ beer spilled a bit while the server was opening it. The mango lassi was a delicious milkshake. This is a BYOB restaurant because they do not have a liquor license. I plan to return to try other dishes. I highly recommend Angel Indian Restaurant.

    I truly had an amazing time at Angel Indian Restaurant dining with wonderful Yelpers. I was able to meet new Yelpers which is always nice. This was actually my first time trying Indian cuisine and I actually enjoyed it. We started our dining experience with two appetizers, Mumbai Bhal Puri and Dahi Batata Puri, both which are popular Indian street food snacks. They both were very delicious. Our entrees included Goat Dum Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Madras,Lotus Root Kofta, Kalonji Naan and Basmati Rice. It was a wonderful dining experience for me and I'm glad that I was able to spend it with fellow Yelpers. Angel Indian Restaurant has been in operation for six years at the previous location. However, they've been operating at this new upscale restaurant for two months now. Angel Indian Restaurant provided an incredible experience for us all and made sure that we were taken care of. It seems to be quite popular in the neighborhood because there were many people waiting to get inside. Stop by, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Angel Indian Restaurant for a wonderful 1st experience

    Are reservations recommended?

    I went for lunch on a weekday and just walked in, but I think to be safe you can call to make reservation since it's quite small. It's not a very fancy place. Mom and pop shop vibes!

It's kind of like a middle eastern quesadilla with cheese, vegetables, and meat but with a thinner bread layer that's crispy. The portion size of this was enormous--I'd honestly say it's enough for 5-6 people to share. Between the two of us, it stretched into 6-8 meals, and it reheated exceptionally well in the air fryer without losing its texture or flavor. We also ordered the beef shawarma platter and the chicken shawarma wrap (which was only around $13). I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken shawarma--it was flavorful, well-seasoned, and not overly dense or dry like shawarma can sometimes be. It ended up being one of the better wraps we've had! If you're debating whether this place travels well for delivery, I'd confidently say yes. The food maintained its quality remarkably well, which isn't always the case with Mediterranean food. That said, after this experience, I'm even more excited to visit the restaurant in person one day. One thing to keep in mind: the portions are generous and many of the dishes are quite hearty. If you're trying to eat lighter or are watching your calories, I'd recommend opting for one of their salads, like the fattoush, alongside your meal. Highly recommended whether you're ordering through DoorDash or dining in. We'll definitely be ordering again--and making a trip to Astoria to experience it fresh from the kitchen.

The food has always been freshly prepared, in large portions, and cooked quite well. I'm thankful that has not changed much. On my most recent visit, we got a Mix Grilled and Vegetarian Plate to share between four people. There was so much food that we did not have dessert next door as originally planned. Prices are higher nowadays, but you are receiving great value for what you pay. Both chicken shawarma and the beef kufta from the Mix Grilled tasted great, especially with the provided zesty white sauce. I also added hot sauce to mine, which made it more satisfying. The chicken kebab was not bad, it had a nice char, but slightly dry. All of the accompanying humus (a bit salty), salad, rice, and garlic pita were excellent too. For the Vegetarian Plate, though good, I would like the falafels to be fluffier. The best things I enjoyed on the plate was the fried eggplants and baba ghanosh. It also comes with cous cous, which was good. Fresh middle eastern cuisine, made with quality ingredients and care, this restaurant may not be my first choice in Astoria because it's not as sexy as some of the other offerings, but I'm glad that they are still around when I just want a quality meal at a reasonable price.
