I recently had the pleasure of dining at Angara Indian Cuisine and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience! Tucked away in a charming Keyport locale, this restaurant not only boasts a welcoming atmosphere of dine in but also an impressive menu that caters to a variety of tastes. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with tasteful dine in decor with 2 levels of sitting l that enhances the dining experience. Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner for two or a casual gathering with friends, the space is well-suited for any occasion. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty. Their friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. 1. Kofta - This signature dish stole the show! The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine. The main ingredients and well cooked kofta was so mild spicy and amazing taste. It’s a must-try for anyone visiting! 2.Dahi Kabab appetizer and Patiala chicken was equally impressive. Cooked to perfection, with chicken proper tendered which made this dish unique special. It’s a great option for those who enjoy a bit of spice. Overall, it exceeds my expectations with its delicious offerings and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this gem is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! My personal Rating and my friends feedback from group of 4 ?????

Went to this place multiple times and the food was exceptional. Angara special dishes are delicious ??.

We have been to Aangara many times. Every time we go, we try different dishes. Each one was fantastic. This is the best Indian restaurant that I have been living here more than 20 years. Beautiful staff, caring and attentive??

Excellent food and service nice and spicy as we requested ??? Sandy was a great server!!

Excellent food and service! I am always excited to come here! One of the only restaurants I recommend when someone asks to go out. ??

?A must-try for authentic Indian food in Central NJ! ?This restaurant serves some of the best and most authentic Indian dishes we've had in the area. The curries and Biryani were fantastic. A special shout-out to our server, Sandrol, who provided exceptional service and ensured we were well taken care of throughout our first visit. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience at Aangara Restaurant! The service was truly great — the staff were super friendly and attentive, and they even surprised us with complimentary desserts, which was such a sweet gesture. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors from both South Indian and North Indian cuisine. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Definitely one of the best places for Indian food in the area. Highly recommend! ???

We stumbled upon a gem after 3 hours of driving, 3 hours of flying on our way from Florida (Orlando) to Atlantic City. Angara lives up to all the fireworks its name intended. Amazing options, food quality, and service in a cute antique style but homely restaurant. Sandy provided spot on suggestions that tingled our palates on both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian appetites. Highlights on menu we had was Palak (Spinach) Chaat, Gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian (spice lvl altered for little ones just perfectly), bullet naan (spicy but spot on again), angaari lamb masala (highest spice lvl requested and swear on my forehead didn’t disappoint at all). Recommend folks to try this place out either for dine in, take out or catering. Photo speaks for itself on left overs ??

Food is tasty, service was fast and friendly ??

The food was good

I’ve ordered from this local spot twice and both times I’ve been wowed. The food is so rich in flavor, you can tell it’s been made slowly and with intention. The paneer and vegetables are generous. Granted, I’m a white person who orders the same couple of basic dishes— but I know when stuff is slapped together fast or overly compensated with cream and this is not that. This tastes like someone’s grandma is cooking in the back of the kitchen and she loves me.

Food was amazing, service exceptional. Will definitely be back!!

I’ve ordered many times from this place but never came in and the food was even better when dining in! Service was top notch and easily some of the best Indian food in the area, would absolutely recommend!

hidden gem!!! the food was fantastic if you love Indian food this is your spot :) the spices flavor and tenderness are impeccable. I got the lamb masala and it was melt in your mouth falling a part goodness!!! Second time here and the food didn’t disappoint! This place deserves some love because it’s awesome also the staff was sweet and patient!

Went here for a family dinner and it was absolutely delicious! No complaints! San was an amazing server. So kind and charming. Would recommend and definitely go back!

The food was excellent. I look forward to coming back. Our waiter San was pleasant and professional.

excellent service by San - super kind and efficient. Fantastic food- fair pricing. Best garlic naan around the area- and there's really great naan around.

The food is mouth watering must try??

The food was delicious ??????

Excellent Service with great test. Thank you guys keep it up??

I am so excited Empyrean now has a Hoboken location and its GORGEOUS! The staff are so kind and the food is amazing. I got the Seekh kabobs which sizzled like a fajita...the vegetables with it...gorgeous...I also got the paneer....such a comfort dish on a cold day. It's right next to the 9th St Light Rail. I highly recommend popping in if you are traveling via light rail. Take it to go if that's all you have time for. It's a beautiful restaurant but its got a friendly casual vibe so you can juat drop in for a drink...an appetizer...take out or dine in. Local Hoboken and Jersey City friends... we have a new wonderful place for gorgeous Indian fare (traditional with a modern flair). ?? Let's support our new friends! ??

I absolutely love Empyrean Indian Kitchen & Bar in Hoboken – it’s hands down a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine with a modern twist! The standout dish for me has to be their Chicken Tikka Masala – it’s phenomenal! Rich, creamy, and packed with that original Indian flavor from perfectly balanced spices, tender charred chicken, and a sauce that’s addictive without being overpowering. What I really appreciate is how they’re willing to tailor it to your exact taste preferences – whether you like it milder, spicier, or just right, they nail it every time. To truly enjoy the food here, you have to know what you like in terms of heat and flavors, and they’ll customize it perfectly for you. The staff are incredibly great and friendly – always attentive, welcoming, and ready with recommendations that make the experience even better. The ambiance is vibrant yet cozy, with a cool bar area for drinks if you’re in the mood. If anyone doubts how good this place is, please just go visit – you won’t be disappointed! I’ve been multiple times and it never fails to impress. Highly recommend! ?????

????? Outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. The food was flavorful, aromatic, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. This place deserves five stars!

?????????? Empyrean Kitchen – Hoboken, NJ Had an amazing dining experience at Imperial Kitchen! We tried the mutton biryani, which was rich, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. The chicken kebab fried momos were a standout — crispy on the outside and flavorful inside. The butter chicken with naan was creamy, comforting, and absolutely delicious. To end on a sweet note, we had Gulab jamun & Cassata for dessert — both were indulgent and the perfect finish to the meal. Great food, warm service, and a lovely ambiance. Definitely a must-visit spot in Hoboken for Indian food lovers. Will be coming back again!

Had a fantastic experience at Empyrean Bistro and Bar which is their 2nd branch. The servers were extremely friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us, and the ambiance was great. The food was authentic and delicious, every dish was full of flavor. They also have a good wine selection to pair with your meal. This is a spot worth supporting, and I’ll definitely be back.

?????????? Empyrean Kitchen – Hoboken, NJ Had an amazing dining experience at Imperial Kitchen! We tried the mutton biryani, which was rich, aromatic, and perfectly cooked.

To end on a sweet note, we had Gulab jamun & Cassata for dessert — both were indulgent and the perfect finish to the meal. Great food, warm service, and a lovely ambiance. Definitely a must-visit spot in Hoboken for Indian food lovers. Will be coming back again!

Food is very good, the place is very clean, you can park in the parking lot near by. Servers are very nice and respectful. Empyrean has maintained their name. My recommendation: try their cauliflower bites ?? thank me later

Yesterday, we visited a restaurant and ordered the Maharaja drink and garlic tikka. The drink was incredibly flavorful, with a perfect balance of tajin and garlic tikka is so fresh and tase is flawless.We were so impressed that we ordered three drinks, each with a unique balance of flavors. We can't wait to visit again!

This place is amazing. The vibe is upscale, great attentive staff, and most of all the food. Absolutely delicious. I like Indian food and have tried many places but this one takes the cake. Making it my go to dinner spot for friends and family.

The best Indian food around. I used to go to India square in Jersey city to get my food and order from but after finding this gem im only getting it from there. Food is absolutely amazing and with great service the experience is amazing. Plus a full bar... cant beat it.

Tried this place once and now I AM IN LOVEE and the food there is FIREE!!!! They messed up one of our orders (didn’t even realize ??) and offered to change it and remake it but we denied. Yet after that, they gave us free naan and some sauce that was literally AMAZING!! 10/10 shi was fire!! Staff was so kind and respectful, literally best people ever imo. I returned there a 2nd time with another family member who’s a bit picky but he LOVED it too. Y’all need to go if y’all wanna try some AMAZING Indian food!!!!! ??????????

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Angara Indian Cuisine and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience! Tucked away in a charming Keyport locale, this restaurant not only boasts a welcoming atmosphere of dine in but also an impressive menu that caters to a variety of tastes. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with tasteful dine in decor with 2 levels of sitting l that enhances the dining experience. Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner for two or a casual gathering with friends, the space is well-suited for any occasion. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty. Their friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. 1. Kofta - This signature dish stole the show! The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine. The main ingredients and well cooked kofta was so mild spicy and amazing taste. It’s a must-try for anyone visiting! 2.Dahi Kabab appetizer and Patiala chicken was equally impressive. Cooked to perfection, with chicken proper tendered which made this dish unique special. It’s a great option for those who enjoy a bit of spice. Overall, it exceeds my expectations with its delicious offerings and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this gem is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! My personal Rating and my friends feedback from group of 4 ?????

Went to this place multiple times and the food was exceptional. Angara special dishes are delicious ??.

We have been to Aangara many times. Every time we go, we try different dishes. Each one was fantastic. This is the best Indian restaurant that I have been living here more than 20 years. Beautiful staff, caring and attentive??

Excellent food and service nice and spicy as we requested ??? Sandy was a great server!!

Excellent food and service! I am always excited to come here! One of the only restaurants I recommend when someone asks to go out. ??

?A must-try for authentic Indian food in Central NJ! ?This restaurant serves some of the best and most authentic Indian dishes we've had in the area. The curries and Biryani were fantastic. A special shout-out to our server, Sandrol, who provided exceptional service and ensured we were well taken care of throughout our first visit. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing experience at Aangara Restaurant! The service was truly great — the staff were super friendly and attentive, and they even surprised us with complimentary desserts, which was such a sweet gesture. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors from both South Indian and North Indian cuisine. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Definitely one of the best places for Indian food in the area. Highly recommend! ???

We stumbled upon a gem after 3 hours of driving, 3 hours of flying on our way from Florida (Orlando) to Atlantic City. Angara lives up to all the fireworks its name intended. Amazing options, food quality, and service in a cute antique style but homely restaurant. Sandy provided spot on suggestions that tingled our palates on both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian appetites. Highlights on menu we had was Palak (Spinach) Chaat, Gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian (spice lvl altered for little ones just perfectly), bullet naan (spicy but spot on again), angaari lamb masala (highest spice lvl requested and swear on my forehead didn’t disappoint at all). Recommend folks to try this place out either for dine in, take out or catering. Photo speaks for itself on left overs ??

We had a great meal and wonderful service. Our server Sandro was kind and helpful.

Excellent service and great vegan menu. Would definitely recommend.

Food and service was great!!

Simply the best Indian food ever!

We had a wonderful dinner at Aangara Indian Cuisine! As vegetarians, we were delighted with the variety of authentic Indian dishes available. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. The authentic taste truly reminded us of home. A special thanks to San, who was incredibly polite, attentive, and provided exceptional customer service throughout our visit. Their warm hospitality made our dining experience even more memorable. We highly recommend Aangara Indian Cuisine to everyone, especially those looking to enjoy authentic Indian flavors, fresh food, and outstanding service. We will definitely be coming back!

Amazing food experience tandoori chicken was so nice cooking ????

Excellent Service with great test. Thank you guys keep it up??

I am so excited Empyrean now has a Hoboken location and its GORGEOUS! The staff are so kind and the food is amazing. I got the Seekh kabobs which sizzled like a fajita...the vegetables with it...gorgeous...I also got the paneer....such a comfort dish on a cold day. It's right next to the 9th St Light Rail. I highly recommend popping in if you are traveling via light rail. Take it to go if that's all you have time for. It's a beautiful restaurant but its got a friendly casual vibe so you can juat drop in for a drink...an appetizer...take out or dine in. Local Hoboken and Jersey City friends... we have a new wonderful place for gorgeous Indian fare (traditional with a modern flair). ?? Let's support our new friends! ??

I absolutely love Empyrean Indian Kitchen & Bar in Hoboken – it’s hands down a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine with a modern twist! The standout dish for me has to be their Chicken Tikka Masala – it’s phenomenal! Rich, creamy, and packed with that original Indian flavor from perfectly balanced spices, tender charred chicken, and a sauce that’s addictive without being overpowering. What I really appreciate is how they’re willing to tailor it to your exact taste preferences – whether you like it milder, spicier, or just right, they nail it every time. To truly enjoy the food here, you have to know what you like in terms of heat and flavors, and they’ll customize it perfectly for you. The staff are incredibly great and friendly – always attentive, welcoming, and ready with recommendations that make the experience even better. The ambiance is vibrant yet cozy, with a cool bar area for drinks if you’re in the mood. If anyone doubts how good this place is, please just go visit – you won’t be disappointed! I’ve been multiple times and it never fails to impress. Highly recommend! ?????

Me and my husband arrived yesterday around 10:20 PM, just before closing. The restaurant is very beautiful. The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the exceptional service. Even though they were about to close, the manager/owner kindly reopened the kitchen for us. They truly made our night. Thank you for the amazing hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!
