Best Brazilian Restaurants in Jersey City, NJ

Highly recommend!

Very nice food. Spice level as requested. Nice ambience.

I had vegetarian thali at this place few weeks back. It was really good.

The food is great …I haven’t had a dish there that wasn’t delicious ??

Amazing Service and Great Food - Naan and Kofta Curry. We also ordered Chicken and it could have been better. Avoid Kala Khatta Soda

Food was good. Perfect

Good place. Nice Food Quality and timely service.

Food was very good service a little slow

The food was excellent and the space itself has a cool 80s shore throwback vibe. Only thing that needs improvement is communication during service but it would not keep me from returning. If you're going for lunch, ask for the lunch Thali. It's like taking a 30 minute flavor vacation to India.

I live right up the street from this lovely restaurant and it never disappoints. From the appetizers, main courses, and even the deserts, everything is always so tasty! Definitely give this place a try if you haven’t yet!!

Food was excellent. Service needs to be more attentive

Excellent food and service 4.5 stars. I removed one star because of oiliness in the food. I think they can reduce oil quantity in their subji. Food was good but too much oil in the saak/subji. Service was good and good atmosphere overall.

Appetizers and entrees are priced high. For eg Butter naan is like $5 each. Biryani is $20-22.. Service is slow.

I had taken out their Weekday lunch box (Chicken) which was reasonable in price and taste was amazing. After inquiring about their most liked dishes, I also ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and that too was amazingly tasty. Definitely recommended restaurant for indian food lover and to have a real indian restaurant food. Their dining area looked awesome as well.

Very nice ambience. Fast service. Food was okay not that unique. Limited options for vegetarians. Fair price. Try dahi ke kabab, dal makhani and dal tadka are good as well.

Food was pretty good, some long wait times when waiting for the waiter. Found a chicken bone in my vegan dinner, that was unfortunate. Was told that it was just human error and to just omit the tip. Somewhat nice people, but I won't be going back anytime soon. Their playlist also seemed to be the same 5-7 songs on a loop. There are places for improvement

Food is delicious and service is excellent. A bit disappointed because the website claimed there was weekend lunch buffet but when we drove there we were told that the buffet is no longer available and they only serve a la carte. Price for food is comparatively expensive but the portions are big and the taste of the dal makhani and the chicken biryani is excellent.

Great food and decent sized portions. They have both vegetarian and vegan entrees. I've had dinner there many times and their weekend buffet once. It is very appealing with a large selection. My only not positive comment is that it used to be reasonable price wise but they are now in the $40 a person range without added surcharge and tip if you get bread and appetizer with an entree .The buffet is $25.

None

This place hasn't been open long. The food is excellent and the service is top-notch.

Good food & service.

Very nice ambiance. Wonderful service and friendly staff.

The food was delicious. We tried appetizers, entrees and desserts. Tasty and well seasoned dishes. Allergy friendly. I can see us coming back frequently.

Really a nice experience overall. Fair prices for the amount of food... and very delicious. Maybe some dishes could use more meat with the sauses.... but no big deal.

Delicious ?? Great food and nice staff!

The food was very good. I like the service more than the food honestly, the guy named Janish explained the food in so detail and gave the best service till now in my experience

One of the best Indian restaurants in Mammoth county

We ordered the Butter Garlic Naan, Delhi Butter Chicken and the Salmon Tikka Masala. We chose to go with the mild heat and it was delicious. We will definitely be going back to try other dishes

Always a great freshly prepared meal. I love having this restaurant local. If you haven’t visited, you should.

The food and service was splendid. I love the food, atmosphere and our waitress was very helpful!

Fantastic food served by the nicest people. Check it out!!

Great to see a tasty Indian food place in town!

Amazing food, amazing service. Definitely coming back here again! If you haven’t eaten here you’re missing out on some great food.

Amazing food. A few bites and you can be full. Great seasoning and flavors, the scenery could be be better up doors but still amazing

Food was very good. Service was good as well but since we were a big group a few more servers were needed.

It is so delicious. Crispy corn chat, butter chicken and mango curry so good. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to many.

The food was really delicious. Authentic Indian food.

Aangara is a hidden gem in Keyport. The food, service and attention to detail was superb. Each dish stood on its own unique presentation. Each dish is prepared in the most authentic way, and highly recommend this restaurant .

We all totally enjoyed our dinner at Aangara. We eat Indian food out often and it was all delicious. It is BYOB. We'll be back.

I've never had Indian food before until today,I ordered the vegetable samosa,the lentil soup,and the chicken peshwari kadai. The food was delicious and the staff was some of the most friendly I've ever encountered. 5 stars

Excellent food and service! Must try!

I loved my meal! The food was flavorful and delicious. Even better, the staff was super friendly, accommodating, and great at giving food recommendations. Best restaurant in Keyport!

Ritz and Anil were absolutely delightful servers and chefs. Thalia that fills your stomach for less than 25 bucks and actually taste AMAZING

Food taste good , been here since it opened.

Good food!! Very friendly and accommodating

Had dinner at Aangara Indian Cuisine with the family and it was absolutely phenomenal. The food was extremely fresh, service was fantastic and the dessert to die for! Can’t wait to come back.

Best in the area, hands down. It tastes like they care about what they are serving you. Always quality and always consistent. This is a go-to for Indian cuisine.

As well the excellent curries, what we love are the staff. Your dining experience is a true Indian experience. Excellent service, wonderful people. Highly recommended.

I'm so glad for this new Indian restaurant in Keyport. We had chicken tikka masala and goat kolhapuri for lunch. Food is authentic and comes with a good portion, and the service is excellent. I highly recommend the homemade mango and pistachio ice cream for dessert. Many vegan dishes are available for your non-meat eating friends and family.

Food was absolutely authentic! Great staff and atmosphere too. Would 10/10 recommend to everyone for authentic flavor and taste and decently priced.

Absolutely delicious restaurant right in the heart of Keyport. Food was fantastic. So many flavors. Service was excellent. The staff was so helpful and recommended their favorite things which were so so good. Restaurant was clean and well kept. Definitely recommend and so nice to have an Indian restaurant in Keyport finally

TRUST ME THIS PLACE IS A HIDDEN GEM The Best Authentic Indian Restaurant in Our Neighborhood There are very few good Indian restaurants near us in Brick area Last night we visit to this place My experience here was 10/10 Food was Rich with many flavors Khubani Malai Kofta with Chilli Garlic Naan was Super Delicious Our Server who took the order was Extremely Helpful and Friendly It was Delightful Dining Experience with Delicious Food and Friendly Service We will definitely come back to this Restaurant

Delicious!! So happy to have an Indian restaurant in Keyport. Staff is very friendly and the food is delicious, with reasonable prices and generous portions. We will be back!! Best of luck in your new venture! ???? ??????? ????

Food was phenomenal just go already!!!! Sandy and Malcom were both excellent!

Fabulous family run restaurant. Homey feel with delicious food. BYOB. Love it!

Delicious food and good service. Been there for our first time ( just browsed near by restaurants )and surprisingly food was delicious with good portions. Kids loved Malai Paneer Tikka, so had to order it twice. Definitely a recommend place and will make this a go to place for indian restaurant around this area.

The food and drinks were all delicious. Since we haven't really had Indian food before we tried to stick with familiar things. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala were amazing. I highly recommend the lassuni gobi (its a cauliflower appetizer). The naan is so good! Get the mango yogurt drink!! The service was fast and super friendly. Will definitely be back to try more things.

Tandoori chicken is really good and naans are highly recommended. Great service by staff. Must visit restaurant. This is my go to restaurant around Keyport area.

Aangara is a fine indian restuarant that offers delicious and scrumptuous indian delicacies that are of high quality at a decent price point. While we had food at several restuarants in NJ over the years Aangara is one of the very few that actually delivered an authentic flavor, decent presentation with a great service. The staff are friendly and nice. We are happy to find such a good indian restaurant near us.

Great to see a good Indian restaurant in Keyport. Came here for dinner and had the chicken tikka masala. Chicken was very tender and sauce was nicely spiced and has a great flavor. Menu has a lot of options and even included a vegan and vegetarian section. It's also BYOB which is always nice. Will be visiting again.

We went to this restaurant, and the food was amazing. Samosas are fresh, and they don't feel oily. The naans and kofta, butter panner are the too good . In the non-veg section, the sizzlers are exceptionally good; it's hard to put into words. Definitely want to go back with family and friends. Can't wait to go again. Don't miss homemade kulfi's .

Fresh food. Chill vibe. Clean restaurant Worth the visit

First time ordering take out, vegetable samosa were delicious, cannot to wrong with the classic butter chicken and angara lamb masala was my favorite dish of the night!! Will order again and hope to dine in next time. Do yourself a favor and expand your palate at Aangara!

Delicious, just delicious! I’ve been waiting for so long for there to be a restaurant like this in Keyport. I would honestly eat here every single day every bite was just SO GOOD. I started with the cucumber salad, which was crisp and refreshing. My body lit up with the flavors and the freshness. Next, I tried the assorted chutney, my favorite is the sweet one, but they were all very flavorful. The crispy bread served with it was light and made me feel so good. After that, I dove into my mulligatawny soup. It was warm, thick and somehow very light. It felt amazing on my tongue and in my stomach. For my main course I ordered the palak paneer, its cottage cheese cubes and spinach. Sometimes when I order this at a different restaurant, it feels heavy. This felt so light and at the same time filling! I got the butter Naan just to try it, even though my dish was served with rice. Both rice and naan were perfect. The wait staff was attentive, and I could tell that each dish was made with care. The ambience is lovely. I already told my family about it and I can’t wait to go back. Oh, I forgot about the complementary mango lassi they served me in a champagne flute. It was out of this world.

We visited this place when we were heading back home from Keansburg beach on a weekend. Didn’t except anything when we planned for this, it was one of the closest places to the beach. I was impressed with the ambience and the quality of the food. We ordered chicken 65, roti, paneer tikka masala, goat biryani and few desserts. Everything was so delicious and full of flavors. Would definitely visit back if we get chance.

Best food we’ve had in a while, particularly for vegetarian indian cuisine. Swathi and Jess, our servers took great care of us!

Awesome food!! Very clean place! Affordable and a nice family spot for dinner and lunch!

We gad the Mango Goat which was very tasty but had too much bone and gristle to get 5 stars. Chicken Tikka Masala was very good as was the Butter Naan! Our server Bundi was attentive and offered more than we needed. I hope they will do well and stay for many years to come. Ask about spice levels. We had the mild level which suits me but there are medium and higher levels for people who like that better.

Very nice, calm atmosphere with attentive servers..The food was excellent & you get large portions ( I had leftovers for 2 days) the crispy shrimps are delicious ?? Overall experience was well worth dining there

Absolutely delicious! So glad to have a gem like this close to home. My husband and I have been looking for a new Indian place and this blew us out of the water. The buttered chicken, garlic naan, and chicken tikka masala were incredible. Service was impeccable! Can’t recommend this place enough!!! You won’t be disappointed.

This meal was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken Tikka masala with butter naan on the side. PERFECTION! I will definitely be coming back again and bringing my girls for a family dinner night.

We had a'wonferful lunch at Aangara in Keyport. I live the butter chicken. The service was excellent.

our waitress was so nice and the food was fantastic we paired it with a very nice beringer bournon barrel chardonnay just go and give them a try i was so glad we did byob and reasonable prices for best indian food in our area

The best Indian I have ever had . It’s authentic and spices were on point .yellow dal , bangan burtha and channa masala’s dishes were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.

The food was incredible. As others mentioned the butter nan was so good. Appetizers of Samosa Chat and Lassuni Gobi - garlic infused cauliflower- set the stage for the Chiken Tikka Masala. The customer service could not have been better. We will be back to try other dishes on the menu.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend!

Butter Chicken and Lamb Korma Along with the Sizzler Chicken Sample Mild spice I'm telling you now! Come here! Came with a group. One of us can not do anything spicy. It's funny for this style of food. They accommodated and did more. You will not be disappointed!

??Our visit to Aangara Indian Cuisine , the desi restaurant, was an absolute delight. It is the best Indian restaurant in NJ. ?????The food was truly exceptional, with standout dishes like appetizer platter, Dum biryani,authentic indian soup and perfectly cooked naans leaving our taste buds in pure bliss. ??The restaurant's welcoming ambiance added to the festive atmosphere, making it a memorable evening for all of us. ??A special shoutout to the owner and all staff members whose outstanding service and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our experience. ??Aangara Indian Cuisine not only serves delicious and authentic Indian cuisine but also boasts an incredible team that ensures every visit is a memorable one. ??You should definitely come and try this place whenever you are craving high end service and food!

I was not too sure about the place when I parked my car as it did but look promising but once I went in I was pleasantly surprised. Amazing fresh Indian food. It was very delicious, tasty and close to home taste. Staff was very nice and service was excellent. Desserts were very nice, my favorite was orange kulfi.

Aangara is new to Keyport. My wife and I went for a nice meal. We ordered veg samosas, butter chicken, and one or two other items….fabulous. Good portions…We couldn’t eat it all. The wait staff was sweet and attentive. You will definitely find us here again soon. I think this place would be ideal too for people on the Henry Hudson Trail. It is literally on the trail in Keyport. Would be a great lunch or dinner stop if you hiking or biking the trail. They also had vegan options.

We ordered take out for dinner tonight and everything was delicious and fresh. The chicken and ginger soup was amazing and everything was cooked to each of the spice levels we asked for. The people working there were so kind. We will be back!!

Food is very good!

By far the BEST Indian restaurant in Central Jersey...and I say this after having tried out almost all the Indian resturants in this area. We stopped by at this new restaurant for dinner last night after reading some good reviews about this place and I must admit that the experience we had, exceeded our expectations. We tried MIXED CHICKEN SIZZLER for Appetizer and it was delicious. The chicken was absolutely fresh and tender. We had DAAL MAKHNI and GARLIC NAAN for our main course both of which were cooked to perfection.For dessert, we had MOONG DAAL ka HALWA which was filled with nuts and was very tasty. We had a MASALA SODA as well which was quite refreshing. Coming to the service part of it, i must say that both the manager and the server took great care of our requests and provided a top notch service. Overall the experience was fantastic and we are definitely going back.

So excited and delighted to have Aangara locally. So many good things to say about this fine Indian restaurant. First a generous selection of Vegan and Vegetarian dishes. Samosa chat is one of my favorite of theirs. And a fine selection of deserts (mango kulfi.. yumm) The restaurant has room for small groups and couples. Also A nice selection of non alcoholic mojitos - I recommend the mango mojito. Plus Wonderful, attentive and conscientious service by all the staff there who look after their patrons. Finally, the atmosphere inside is Lovely; and outside the restaurant there is a nice area to take a walk before or after the meal. : p Enjoy!

This delightful Indian restaurant is tucked away in a residential area on Maple Place in historic Keyport, NJ. The service and food are stellar. The Lassuni Gobi was delicious and the generous portion was shared by 2 of us. Delighted to have so many vegan options. The Tofu Matter Masala was flavorful, fresh and scrumptious. My husband ordered the Delhi Style Butter Chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, gracious, knowledgable and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit to taste other items on their extensive menu. Wonderful addition to the Keyport restaurant scene.

Food is amazing! We’ve been here a few times so far and everything is always so so good! The service has been great, everyone is kind and helpful when asking questions related to the menu! Definitely recommend and will continue to go back!

My 3 teenagers and I shared a delicious meal here recently. Staff was eager to make our experience worthwhile, knowledgeable about their menu/ingredients and checked in with us frequently to ensure we were satisfied with our meal. Will definitely be repeat customers!

Where do I start??? Food was Delicious.. The chutney and sauces were tasty along with butter garlic Naan that was so good we got 2 orders. We had chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Rogenjosh. The meat was so tender and the authentic taste will keep us coming back. The service was impeccable. They couldn't for enough for us. We are planning our next visit here. A true gem for the neighborhood. No need to go anywhere else.

The food and service is exceptional! The ambience is vibrant and relaxing. Every dish was well made and presented. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

Lucky to have a fresh new contender within the Indian cuisine realm. Amazing food, super flavorful. Great portion sizes, and a well run restaurant from the top down! Went on a Saturday evening and when leaving at 930, they still had tables. Will be back. Thank you for the Gulab Jamun on the house to go!

OK, this is the second time in my entire 63 years that I have gone to an Indian restaurant. The first one was up in Union, New Jersey. I do not remember the name but it’s been there a long time and it was horrible. This restaurant in Middletown was the best food, I have ever eaten. We had the corn chaat appetizer we also had some thing that looked like two big dumplings with vegetables in it. Excellent. I had the butter chicken. My grandson had a vegetarian dish with sauce and fresh veggies from soup to nuts. This was the best Indian food I have ever had my grandson would eat here every night if he could now I know what he was begging me to eat kudos and good luck with this Indian restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. Even the dessert was good. Service is impeccable. Check it out.!!!! sorry this restaurant is located in Keyport. I think it took over the old diner that used to be there. Keyport. You rock with the best Indian restaurant.

Food here is really good. They accommodate according to nut allergy requests. Service is really good. Definitely recommend this place.

Had an outstanding lunch in this warm, welcoming, lovely restaurant. The service is attentive but not intrusive. The food is fresh and authentic. I had the paneer Tikka Masala mild spice had a nice kick. The butter garlic Naan is delicious. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Aangara.

The salads and lamb are delicious and Sandy our server, was very attentive

I read some of the reviews before visiting, and honestly I thought that the food probably wouldn’t be as good for Indians and vegetarians. But I was pleasantly surprised! Their paneer tikka masala was hands down the best I’ve had in the US. And the best Indian food I’ve had since I visited India a year ago. Never has methi (fenugreek) been used so beautifully. I live in Massachusetts and no Indian restaurant up there has this good food! Immediately after leaving the restaurant, I called a friend in Midwest, asking him to visit New Jersey just for a dinner here. I’d definitely visit again. Just a suggestion - I think they were a bit understaffed, or probably too busy because it took them a while to take my order. Adding more people would be great. Overall, a great experience and I’d definitely visit when I’m in the area again.

AMAZING food!! Our server was so friendly, the atmosphere was very cozy, and the apps entree and dessert were all delicious. Will definitely be back!

AMAZING FOOD! My aunt and I went here to try. The people were very nice and all the food was amazing. Very good staff, not to mention the entire place smelled amazing. Definitely worth going and trying.

Had a spontaneous lunch date with my son, whom equally shares the love for Indian cuisine. We saw the rave reviews, and had to try! Aangara totally delivered!! This was the most amazing, delicious meal we've had in a very long time!!! The staff were so accomodating and friendly! They were helpful in explaining the menu and spice levels. They recommended we start off with Pani Puri....Wow!! My son and I couldn't believe the amazing flavor! We ordered vegetable samosa, tandoori lamb chops and palak paneer. We couldn't stop ooh'ing, and aagh'ing!! We can't wait to go back, and we'll be telling everyone we know, to give it a try! Thank you, Aangara for the beautiful meal!

I was born and raised in Keyport, and when my parents told me about the new Indian spot in my hometown- I was in disbelief due my to excitement. Today, I finally got to try it and all I have to say is: I’ve been eating Indian cuisine since childhood, and currently live in NYC with some of the greatest restaurants in the world- Aangara is, hands down, some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. From the food, to the service, to the large offerings catering to all dietary restrictions- vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free- you name it, they will have a dish for you. Do not sleep on this place- you’ll definitely regret not having visited sooner.

Aangara is a real gem. Great food and great people. We came in for an early dinner with a family of 6 + baby. The waitstaff was kind and attentive. Best new restaurant in Central New Jersey! Keep it up guys!

Generous portions and a lot of vegan options- there's an entirely section of vegan entrees! And the staff is very kind and attentive as well. Some things are a little spicy even when ordered mild so if you're sensitive to spice, keep that in mind.

EXCELLENT food!! Never had a bad dish and I LOVE that they have a vegan section. The Lassubi Gobi is absolutely delicious.

As a big fan of Indian food who has dined at many restaurants I can without a shadow of a doubt say that both the service and food here are better than anywhere else. The Naan was the perfect blend of crisp and soft and the food was bursting with lovely herbal notes. If you are in the area Aangara Indian Cuisine is an absolute must visit.

We were very excited to try this place given all the good reviews we were seeing and it did not disappoint. Every bite of every dish we had was packed with flavor. It was one of the best meals I’ve had. We will definitely be back!!

We came for lunch today, and the food was by far the best Indian food I ever had. I highly recommend the malai kofta, the veg dum biryani, the crispy palak chaat, the burnt malai paneer tikka, and the kulfi platter. Nitin, the server was an amazing person. From greeting us to the restaurant all the way to the end, and recommending the best dishes. Will definitely come back to this restaurant again!

We have been to this place a few times and the food is top notch. The chef is ready to adjust the taste as per your preference with some of us wanting the ‘authentic Indian’ taste and the rest preferring a more milder version. Both turned out very well. The Dahi (Yogurt) kebabs, Dal(Lentils) and okra were very nice for vegetarians. The tandoori items like the angara chicken tikka and Goat gravy were very nice too. Good job !!

Finally got to try the food everyone is raving about…. And it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious and served beautifully. Staff was extremely helpful. As someone with celiacs, it’s not always easy to find a large list of items to choose from, so I was pleasantly surprised and will be going back often! Oh- and definitely make sure you hit that dessert menu ??

What an incredible place! Everything we tried was full of amazing flavors! As soon as we walked in, the aromas told me we were in for a treat! Do yourself a favor and GET TO AANGARA! They will adjust the spice level to your request! We will be going back, often!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Aangara, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The Bihari chicken kebab and Afghani chicken korma were bursting with flavor and, perfectly cooked. These 2 dishes were a standout, with just the right amount of heat that we requested—Indian spice level at its best! The bullet naan was incredibly soft from the inside and had the perfect crispness on the edges. Orange Kulfi, crispy corn chaat and chicken biryani is a must try. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure that every detail was taken care of. The owner is very welcoming and genuinely interested in customer feedback. If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine with great service, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back!

The food was delicious and service perfect.

My fiancé and I had a very positive experience at Aangara. First, the restaurant and restrooms were very clean. Second, the food was delicious and flavors were balanced. Third, our waiter, Nitin was very attentive and friendly. Nice to have a good local Indian restaurant near home. Highly recommended! We'll be back soon!

Some of the best Indian food I've had. The restaurant is around the corner from my daughter's house. We picked up dinner to-go a couple of weeks ago. Tried several different entrees and appetizers, everything was delicious and their prices are very reasonable.

My daughter and I had lunch here a few weeks ago and I couldn’t wait to take my husband. Bill walks with a cane and the staff went out of their way to make him comfortable. We had Chicken Tikka Masala, and butter garlic naan. Our meal was so delicious! The service was friendly and helpful. After lunch we were too full to order dessert, but they brought over a delightful mini dessert to share which we’ll order next time. I’ve forgotten the name but it was a mango Indian ice cream that was light and yummy!! I love that they have Indian music lightly playing, adding to the atmosphere. There are cloth napkins which I love and it’s clean and decorated with curtains and plants. It’s very inviting. When we were leaving, staff opened the doors for us. What a lovely, friendly place! We’ll be back again.

Best Indian food we’ve had in New Jersey. They ask what spice level you prefer which is great. Excellent and friendly waiter. We found our new favorite place for Indian food. We ordered chicken vindaloo, aloo gobi, palak paneer and samosa for appetizer. Pistachio kulfi and ajar halaa for desert.

Ask for mild. Indian medium is little spicy. But food is gooddd!!

First time here and was blown away. So so so delicious. We couldn’t decide what to get and ended up ordering 2 appetizers and 3 entrees for two people.. . Everything was amazing. Great service, vibe, and food. Plus, it’s BYOB. Highly recommend!!

Ever since Haldi Chawk changed owners and the new menu pushing fusion dishes, we've been on the look out for more Indian food options. Well, since Aangara opened, they have been our go to Indian cuisine. We eat there onice a week or two! The menu has a large variety of items, and we've been happy with every item ordered. From the apps to the tandoori, lamb chop tandoori, eggplant bharta, lamb, chicken , shrimp curries of all varieties, biriyani, we've been very happy with the taste, quality and portion size. This restaurant is also quite big and get for large groups as well!

Outstanding! I was so happy to see an Indian restaurant open nearby. Truly authentic food and not some Americanized version. We had the Lamb Korma and Shrimp Kolhapuri plus the Crunchy Palak Chat for an app. Everything we ate was delicious and full of flavor. The service was excellent as well. We’ll be regulars there for sure!!

The best Indian cuisine we have ever experienced! We ordered spicy and were not disappointed. Thank you Jenish, you were absolutely wonderful; the hospitality was above and beyond our expectations! Cant wait to return??

I did take out couldn't really assess atmosphere but I am so happy to have this new restaurant in Keyport. The food was amazing and I can't wait to go in person! It felt like I was back in NYC ordering amazing Indian take out that lasted 3-4 meals!! Thank you for opening in Keyport! Great for us and wonderful place for you to be located. Best wishes to the owners!

Ordered take out for the first time and the food was to die for. The lamb korma was so tender and the sauce was really good too. Also highly recommend the buttered chicken and the Chana palak. The dining area looked nice too. Will definitely be returning!

Food was FANTASTIC and our server Malcom was friendly & attentive. I highly recommended Aangara in Keyport.

What an amazing lunch I had here with my 12-year-old son. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I really can't say enough about this restaurant. If you are in the area, I strongly suggest you give this place a try. This was my son's first time eating Indian food and he loved it!

Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.

Absolutely delicious food! Huge variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. We just discovered this place while driving and so glad we found it! The service is impeccable and every item on this menu is outstanding. The staff is so friendly and know is by name. We go frequently and will continue to do so. The added plus is it’s BYOB. Definitely a must try!

The food is absolutely superb. If you like traditional Indian food, you will love the spot you will not be disappointed. Service is spectacular. Easy to get to plenty of parking not too far from Waterfront Keyport. By the way, I had the butter chicken with the garlic naan and a side of white rice. So delicious.

The food is absolutely delicious! Everything is extremely fresh, flavorful and perfectly spiced. Be sure to leave room for the best Mango Lassi EVER!! Don't miss this fabulous culinary experience.

My boyfriend and I went last night and the food was so delicious!! From the appetizers to the entrée and the dessert and a free taste of the lamb chops. The staff were all extremely friendly and very helpful with giving us food choices. Highly recommended.

This indian restaurant might well be our favorite Indian restaurant. Very pleasant atmosphere. Young waitress was excellent. Nice and attentive. Food was excellent. Good portions and delicious. We had ordered the vegetable samosa as an appertizer and a mango lassi drink (mango puree). For entrees, one order of chicken tikki masala. They were kind to make lamb also with the tikki masala sauce. So we ordered 2 that way. I ordered the lamb vindaloo. We all ordered the mild version for all our dishes which was perfect for our taste. Everything was delicious.

Great food. Really flavorful! Amazing service by Sandy

The pictures shown in other reviews match the consistency I’ve had both in delivery and dinning in. The food quality is better than I’ve had in the area. Every dish had its own distinct flavors and the soups are well made. It’s a BYOB and they have all needed glassware etc..They have a good system for spice levels mild-Indian level spicy. My brother got “Indian level” vindaloo and it made him literally pour sweat in a good way while enjoying the flavors

Went in to pick up take out for the first time. The staff went above and beyond welcoming us. They were generous and absolutely lovely. While waiting for our food, we were given delicious samples of desserts and drinks. The food we brought home was so so good! I definitely look forward to going back with the family to eat in the beautiful restaurant.

We went with family first time and this review is a perfect example of sharing our experience on the best customer service as well as 100% satisfaction on quality, quantity of the food with variety of options of Indian cuisine dishes. We would recommend people to visit once and you will surely visit again because the best place to dine in to enjoy your meal. Also one of the best part is they provide limited miles free delivery with same quality and quantity if you stay in nearby location.

One of my go to favorite Indian restaurants I highly recommend. Just know it does take a while for the food to come out, but it is fresh.

My husband and I finally made it in tonight to grab some dinner. I don't think we could have said Oh my god any more while we ate. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Everything was so, so fresh and so flavorful. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. We can not wait to go back. We talked about how good it was the rest of the night. Definitely a great place to go for a date night or with friends. Somewhere where you won't feel rushed and can enjoy amazing food and drinks. Definitely a great addition to the already great eateries in beautiful Keyport.

I've eaten here twice and had one take out order. Indian food has been my favorite for many years and I've had it in NY, St. Lucia, Tanzania Guyana and more. This is hands down the BEST food ever. The atmosphere is like eating at someone's home: warm, inviting and great service. The last time I went I took my adult children. My daughter sent me a text the next day that she was dreaming of her return!

We ordered delivery tonight and everything was so delicious! The portions were large. The lamb and chicken were so soft and delicious. Only complaint was that the two veg biryani meals we got were different in spice level despite both being requested mild. Next time I will just make sure to call to emphasize the spice levels! Will definitely be going back!

Food was amazing. I’ll definitely come here again.

We picked up takeout 2 times so far. The staff is very friendly and helpful, can’t wait to try dining in. The food both times was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! So far I’ve tried the butter chicken and the mango shrimp, my son had the tandoori chicken, and all were cooked to perfection!! We’ll definitely be back!!

If you’re looking for fresh, delicious and perfectly spiced food, you’re in luck. The atmosphere is vibrant and colorful and the music is wonderful! We’ve been here several times and we’ve loved everything we’ve tried. The service is attentive without being too much and owner is on site and to makes sure that his customers leave happy. Very highly recommend.

This is my new go to Indian! The food was delicious - the right amount of spice and great, complex flavors. The cauliflower appetizer was UNBELIEVABLY good! The restaurant was super accommodating for a large group and dietary restrictions. Everything was GREAT!

Great dining experience..Good buffet options and the non vegetarian was very good

Sandy was extremely nice and he made sure we are comfortable throughout the time.

The staff was very nice and helpful taking my phone order, after every item asking if we wanted it mild, medium or hot. I arrived a few minutes early and they kindly asked me to have a seat to wait. They then brought over a complimentary mango shake while I waited! So kind and thoughtful! The order was prepared perfectly and everyone loved their meal. We'll be back soon!

I was so excited to try this place and my MIL took me for my birthday yesterday. And I felt so bad for the staff, which they are extremely short on. I waited about one hour just to get my food. Everyone came in all at once and the staff was flustered. The food however was insanely good. I know they are still new. They will work their kinks out. But please try this place it's incredible

My dining experience at Angaara was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout the meal. The hospitality was truly remarkable. As for the food, every dish was a culinary delight, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. Whether you're craving classic favorites or innovative creations, delivers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you coming back for more

Excellent food and service, good vegetarian options as well. We’ll definitely put this place in our list of best restaurants in NJ and start coming here often. Highly recommend this place.

Definitely 5 stars all around. We've only recently become fans of Indian cuisine, and we just came home from a wonderful dinner at Aangara. We'd been encouraged by family to try it out as a possible caterer our daughter's wedding celebration. For sure, we'll look no further. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious, the service was everything you could ask for and we all agreed Aangara will become a regular for our family moving forward. It seemed like other patrons were similarly ecstatic about their dinners. This is a must try even if you've not yet learned to love Indian food.

Absolutely love this place! Of all the Indian places I’ve been, this is absolutely the best one. Flavorful food, great staff and excellent atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for more and we’ll definitely be back!

This place is awesome! The food was all very fresh and delicious, and the service was incredible. Everyone was so kind and attentive! Favorite dishes were the mixed chicken sizzler and butter chicken, and orange kulfi for dessert. If you’re not sure what to order, the staff makes excellent recommendations. Will definitely return!

I don't do Indian cuisine often but I am certainly glad I tried Aangara! All of the food was fantastic very flavorful and spiced to perfection! Will definitely be coming back again. I can hardly wait to have my leftovers.

We always did delivery or takeout from here. Last week we actually went there and dined in! The food tasted even better fresh eating there. Food is great and very tasty. You can taste all the flavors and the food is not bland like some places. We recently moved in the are and this is our go to Indian food spot now!

Top notch food and service, with pleasant staff and atmosphere. We mentioned a birthday in our group and they ran out and got a cake! The dessert menu looked good but we’ll try something next time. Great experience all around and I recommend it and will definitely be returning soon.

Had dinner there last night. The food was excellent! Great flavor, heat level customized for you, great recommendations by the waiter. BYOB, so we brought our favorite wines to enjoy! Excellent service too. Food was reasonably priced and plenty of it! Highly recommend this restaurant and will be back! Thank you!

My family and I have had Indian food in Edison at several good places but this was better. We were so pleased with quite a variation in shared meals. So fresh and cooked as ordered. Sauces and breads soo amazing. Key in on spice level as they are accommodating. Service was great. It took longer as we skipped appetizers but that's because it was being cooked right upon our order. You will enjoy and I hope they are around a long time. NJ offers us a great diversity in authentic cuisine. Glad Keyport is close to home.

Went last night for the first time, but it definitely will not be the last! I am blown away by how great the food is. I love Indian food, and I can honestly say this is some of the best I have ever had, including Manhattan. The Delhi Butter Chicken was beyond fantastic. My friend had the Chicken Biryani that was truly superb! The service was incredible...very attentive and gracious. Lovely people. I can't wait to go back. I can't recommend this restaurant enough!!! I'm so lucky to live one town over.

One of the best meals I have ever had!! The appetizers were recommended by the waitress and did not disappoint!! We had the corn chat and samosa chat as well as the chicken 65 and they were all delicious!! I was in heaven!! For dinner I had the chicken mango curry and it was so yummy!! All the meals we had came with rice and the portions are perfect!! My Aunt is vegan and gluten free and they were able to accommodate!! We will absolutely be back!! Thank you for a great meal!!

I never had Indian food before so this was new to me. I thought the whole experience was pretty good. The portions were large enough to share we had leftovers to take home. Food was tasty and I loved the garlic butter naan got extra to take home. Very reasonably priced The young lady who served us was very pleasant. Overall we enjoyed our meal and will definitely go again

An absolute gem of a find! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the delightful staff. But it was the food that truly stole the show! Each dish was a burst of authentic flavors, perfectly spiced and expertly prepared. I can't stop raving about it! This is now my go-to spot, and I can't imagine dining anywhere else. Trust me, you won't regret giving this place a try! Highly recommend!! Thank you!!

Aangara was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They listened to a couple of the dietary restrictions that our party had. The food was incredible, especially for the reasonable price point. And the best part was, when we asked them to make the food spicy, they did! Will definitely be going back.

My husband and I visited Aangara with our teenage daughter st her request. We ordered garlic cauliflower and fried shrimp appetizers. They were delicious! My husband ordered a grown salad and both my daughter and I got the cucumber salad, again delicious. The owner came around periodically and asked us if we were happy with the food and spice level. When we got our entrees Butter chicken and chicken mixed grill... The owner noticed that I didn't eat one of the chicken elements on the grill platter and asked why. I told him no worries I just didn't like it. He had the chef prepare some grilled chicken for me to go. My daughter and I split dessert. She ordered Indian ice cream an mango lasso, and a sweet plate. Everything was GREAT!!!

The food, service, and ambiance are all top-notch. One can easily sense the quality. The portions are decent in size, and despite all the positives, we didn't feel like the cost was high. It was quite reasonable and courteous at its best. The chef was able to tailor the food to our taste buds, ensuring a personalized dining experience. Keep up the good work!

UPDATED: Came across this restaurant and decided to order takeout. I can not say enough good things about the customer service received from the owner all the way to staff. They had personally called to understand the issue with the food and made things right without even being asked to. If only all businesses treated their customers with this much care and respect. The food was just as expected and delicious. Needless to say, we will definitely be going back to this restaurant.

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

Reshmi Chicken Chops and Angara Lamb Masala were amazing. Definitely coming back to try the rest on the menu.

Beautiful place and the buffet is really amazing

I would give this more stars if I could. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. We will be dining in the next time. I have NEVER had Indian food like this in my life. This is absolutely incredible and I will be ordering again. The restaurant was clean. The staff was lovely. The food is beyond anything I have experienced before. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Always delicious! One of our favorite spots in town. So nice to have great Indian food close to home.

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. We ordered a lot of food, and we enjoyed our meal and had to bring a lot home. 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!

The best authentic Indian cuisine I’ve ever had The food was delicious and the service top notch My server Malcolm was very helpful answering questions and always checking on us to see if we needed anything I highly recommend Aangara Will definitely be coming back

Food here was really good. Found it through recommendations of authentic Indian food nearby with ChatGPT. Sandy was our server and provided amazing service.

We enjoyed the food and ambience. Ashish severed really great with patience and with polite attitude. We love it visit again. Thank you

We had an early dinner here today and it was wonderful. The food was delicious. The service was great. We will definitely be back. The waitress chose a dessert for us to split, and it was phenomenal. Anyone looking for good authentic Indian food needs to go here. I’m so happy that they are in Keyport. If you haven’t tried it, you must !!!

This is very unique restaurant with very nice food. We ordered Naan and curry. Both items are very nice and tasty.

Very nice service and amazing food! Very flavorful and proper quantity. Seating area is open and perfect for family dining. Will come again!

Great food, great atmosphere!

WoW!!! Honestly, im not from area and find this place by accident ;) Man… i was skeptical about excellent reviews, but now i understand… This is so far the best Indian food i ever tried!!! Curry goat is undescribable good !

I sincerely love this place. The food is amazing, the service is great and the atmosphere is very tranquil. Everything I’ve ordered here has been incredible but the butter chicken is my favorite.

I’ve been waiting a long time for an incredible Indian food experience locally, and this place has it. The service was impeccable. They truly aim to please. The food was delicious and the presentation for our appetizers was right out of a magazine. You won’t find a better portion size for your main course. I was blown away when our food came out. And the flavor….fresh ingredients, fresh spices, and a flavor that embodies the culture. The spice level was perfect. The staff asks you just enough questions to make sure you know what you’re getting into when it comes to Indian food spice levels. We’ve found our new favorite Indian food restaurant!

One of if not the most delicious fresh spot on amazing Indian places I have tried so far. My family and I can not Get enough of this wonderful gem highly recommend!!!

Good experience for lunch. Taste very good. Quantity portion size generous. Vibe was nice ,cozy and warm ethnic decor. Service was attentive although could be warmer. Overall good. Loved the music playing ! Very unique Indian spiritual music !

Love love love this restaurant. Great dishes and were a big fan of their Saturday brunch all you can eat

The food was delicious as was the service. I highly recommend if you’re in the mood for Indian food visit here.

Great food. Very flavorful food. Excellent service and beautiful presentation. Portions are good and entrees were served hot.

We love this restaurant. Very authentic Indian food with very good service and friendly staff. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Super friendly staff; very attentive; amazing food

The food was amazing but what I loved the most was the atmosphere and the music. Very calm music that was so soothing and relaxing. Other times they played more energetic/hype music that set the mode to have a nice conversation after you food coma.

Amazing food and service !! Celebrated my mom's birthday and the service , good and ambience was perfect !! The staff made her feel so special . Thank you !!

Today was my first time dining here. Everything was excellent. It will not be my last time. Thank you Aangara Indian Cuisine!

Awesome food, amazing service and perfect spot for a delicious meal. There’s nothing like Aangaras Style Butter Chicken, finger licking food.

I had forgotten just how good Indian food can be! I’ve traveled to India several times and found the food at Aangara to be very authentic and so so delicious! Sandip was very attentive without hovering and made our experience just delightful!

if you’re craving some bomb Indian food, you gotta hit up Angara Indian Cuisine. The spot’s got this cozy vibe with warm spices that just makes you feel at home. The menu’s packed with flavorful dishes, and they don’t skimp on the portions—you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. The staff? Super chill and always ready to help you out. Whether you’re all about that classic Indian fare or just looking to try something new, Angara’s the place to be.

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service. We’ve been here before and I order something different every time. It’s almost endless enjoyment: nothing short of FANTASTIC so far

The curries are full of flavor!! ???? The naan is some of the best I have had. The sizzling Malia Chicken Boti Kabob was fantastic ???? Very happy to have an Indian restaurant in Keyport!

The food at this restaurant is AMAZING!!! FRESH, RICH IN FLAVOR and the AROMA from all that great tasting food just fills the air every time!!

Do you serve Indian fusion? I have eaten Iranian cuisine but didn't acquire a taste for it because it was like kryptonite to this superman LOL, needless to say I am always looking to try something new! I think I am going to travel to Keyport NJ to eat at this cuisine....See You All Very Soon! Can't wait! Namaste.

Amazing amazing amazing food!! Definitely the best Indian food in alll the neighboring towns. And the service was the best! Both Leela and Nitin were so sweet and accommodating. We had a very pleasant experience and cannot wait to come back.

My family and I had a great meal here tonight! Food was delicious, service was top notch! We can’t wait to come back..

Best Indian food in the area. Period.

My husband and I never try Indian food,so my son just invited Us..well we were very impressed..everything is a 10 plus..we are planning to go back

Such good food and service! I love that we are never rushed. The food is very flavorful and plentiful!

We stumbled upon this restaurant as we were looking for some Indian food in the area. We are so pleased with the experience we had! We started out with the Malai Chicken sizzler and Masala Papad. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the mint chutney that accompanied it provided a great acidic contrast. The Masala papad was light and crispy. For dinner, we ordered Malai Kofta, Veg Kohlapuri, Dal Makhani, and assorted naans. The Malai Kofta was the perfect balance of sweetness, richness, and spice - probably our favorite dish of the night. The Veg Kohlapuri was tangy and full of spice. The Dal Makahni was authentically prepared and hearty. All the naans were well seasoned and had great texture. The portions were incredibly generous and they can accommodate all spice tolerances. We were also able to meet the owners/head chef and they were extremely kind, passionate, and knowledgeable about their craft. Overall we had an amazing experience and will definitely be back soon! We wish them continued success for the future!

this place was amazing, beautiful ambience, so much food, so delicious, and the staff was incredible, they gave us extra food and everything, i never leave reviews but they were so nice i had to, im telling everyone (Ashish you rock man)

Had an amazing vegetarian meal here! The Palak Paneer was cooked to perfection. The dinner buffet is a must-try, offering a fantastic spread. Highly recommended for anyone craving excellent vegetarian food. A top spot!

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

They have a good spread of Indian food and well authentic made. I had vegetable biryani, and though the portion was quite large, the taste and quality was excellent.

Santrol was an amazing server, very attentive to our special needs! Food was amazing and fresh! Will definitely be back again soon! Nice ambience as well!

The level of service is out of this world. Food was incredible as well. Will be back to try the rest of the menu.

The best Indian food in the area. The service was excellent. The Staff was extremely polite and helpful with ordering to your level of spice. I will be back for many meal.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I've been getting food here once a week for a few months now, and i have never been disappointed. The food is phenomenal, and the customer service is even better!

Found this place on Uber eats and ordered dinner. Sev Batata Puri Chaat, Samosa Chaat, Delhi Style butter chicken, Chicken Chapli Kebab are the items we tried. And all of them tasted great and good portion sizes. Very neatly packed as well. Will definitely go in-person and try other items on menu.

We went on sunday for lunch... Not only buffet was really yummy veg no- veg both but menu selection, food arrangements, stiiing space everything thing up to the mark... . staff is very friendly.. reday to serve at their best... definitely visit again n again

Aangara’s Indian food is amazing! Our server, Sandy, makes sure all of the main course meal (butter chicken and grilled chicken biryani kebabs) come out at the same time. The cheese naan, vegetable samosas, and roasted papad crackers taste so good! Everything has so much flavor and the ambience is great with a cozy feel. Aangara is the best Indian restaurant in the Keyport area.

Very friendly staff, they even gave me a drink on the house, the mango Lasi was sweet and tangy and a perfect consistency. The chicken kabab on the appetizers was good but I expected it to be chicken skewers. Lamb is tender and perfect seasoned well. Naan is fluffy.

The food is outstanding, but their prices have gone WAY up since opening. Some sides and appetizers even doubled in price. I hate to say I have to find a new place! But if you do not eat Indian as often as I do, this is an EXCELLENT choice!!!! You will not be disappointed.

We had delicious meal, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. We will eat here again as we often do. Take out is great as well.

Awesome food. Tasty will return back. No need to head off running for another restaurant. Friendly and not too spicy.

absolutely amazing food, service and ambience, if you like indian food or even want to try indian food in the area this is definitely the place!

We had gone there for lunch during our trip to the Atlantic City. The buffet has good options from starters to the main course entries . Mango moose was nice in the desert. Overall a very good experience

Food was awesome. Service was good too, but I would say OWNER need to hire more employees because there was only one employee taking order and serving so the wait time was a little bit higher then it should be other than that. There was a great experience.

I’m usually a very picky eater but I had an amazing dinner. The chicken takka masala was delicious. The dessert (mango kulfi) was so good I got seconds. The staff was amazing and helpful with picking out items I’d like. I can’t say enough positive things about this place I wish I stopped by sooner!

We've been searching for a close Indian spot and Aangara did not disappoint! The butter chicken was our favorite! I love how they customize the spice level to your liking, just be prepared the spicy is actually SPICY. Each portion was enough to be shared by 2 people. We will definitely be back!

Tried Aangara out tonight and it did not disappoint. We are SO excited to have this in town. The food was delicious from Appetizer to dessert. Service was extremely friendly and warm. We will be back soon!!!

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??

My husband and I were welcomed warmly by the hostess and the level of service continued with the entire wait staff. They were kind, attentive, and prompt. We ordered gobi lasooni, samosa chat, mojitos (guava and mango), and chana palak. The spice level met my husbands expectations (medium Indian), who was born and raised in India. Everything was very fresh, hot, and crisp Loved it so much that we will definitely be back and hope they will cater our upcoming party.

We finally were able to come here over the weekend and it was just as impressive as everyone says! First of all everyone who works there is so nice and accommodating. The vegetable samosas and garlic naan were 10/10. I got the paneer tikka masala and it was SO good. I got it mild and will definitely go spicier next time. Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious food and excellent service. Nice and quiet place with relaxed ambiance. Perfect portion of all dishes. Palak chaat, pani puri , veg korma were so tasty. Fresh and mild food as requested. Orange kulfi must have dessert. We will go again. Highly recommend for all who love authentic Indian food.

The food was great and the service was excellent! The staff was attentive and made the whole experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely return. Thank you so much!!

If you want to have fresh, delicious and authentic Indian cuisine then Aangara is the place. I’ve been to a few Indian restaurants and this is my new favorite place to eat.

Amazing food! My wife and I enjoyed the food, lamb Korma and kohlapuri chicken curry are top notch and can go with Butter garlic naan.

My Dad and I had dinner here tonight and cannot wait to go back!! Food was incredible!! We had butter naan, garlic naan, sev batata puri chat, samosa chat, chicken tikka masala, and mango shrimp. WOW. Two very happy customers!!! Place is so cute, service and recommendations were fabulous.

Staff is fantastic and the food is amazing. As soon as we walked in, we felt welcomed . The service was excellent. They made sure that we were comfortable. The food smelled delicious .. The aroma of fresh cooked dishes and spices was welcoming. The Naan bread with the garlic was so light and delicious.. We shared the Tandoori mixed grill. OMG, the salmon, the shrimp, the chicken, the lamb chops outstanding ...A variety of meats cooked to perfection . Everything looked amazing ..Definetly recommend the place to eat .

Simply Amazing! This was the best Indian food I've had in 20 years! The service is friendly and everything is very clean. Sandrol is very courteous and welcoming. I'm extremely happy with Aangara and really look forward to coming again :)

I live probably 2 minutes away from this spot, and I am so lucky for it! They have incredible food, they are extremely accommodating, and the vibe inside is awesome. Definitely worth the trip, and in my top 3 Indian restaurants that I’ve been to :) Try the malai kofta / the chaat appetizer. Also the bullet naan and onion naan are amazing !

We so enjoyed our meal at Aangara this evening. We loved everything we tried, including new dishes we haven’t had before. The staff was wonderful, helpful, and welcoming. We are already excited to become regulars here.

this was the best indian food i have ever had and for a great price! the service was extremely friendly but there definitely was some misunderstandings because of language barriers, which is obviously understandable. the lunch special was an amazing way to try a little of everything. this is my new favorite indian restaurant and i will definitely be back!

The food was unbelievably YUMMY! Our family enjoys Indian food so I feel like we have had a lot of experience…this was/is phenomenal! Highly recommend!!!

The food was fantastic. It is always fresh and fragrant. The interior is clean and very cozy. Our waiter Sandy is very attentive and extremely friendly. I would recommend everyone to come here and give it a try!

You simply HAVE to get over to Keyport, NJ and experience the incredible Indian food, especially if Sandy is your server! The butter chicken is an absolute dream – rich, creamy, and bursting with authentic flavor, it's truly everything you could ever want and more. And the service? The dishes were good as always, making the whole dining experience delightful. Do yourself a huge favor and treat your tastebuds to this amazing establishment – you won't regret it!

Came here with friends for my birthday! Absolutely, the best Indian food I've had in along time. The sauces, kormas, tandoori all extremely flavorful.

Food here was delishous! The Chicken Ginger soup was to die for if you are a fan of ginger. The Tandoori Chicken was lonely and perfectly spiced. The Spiced Chickpea and Spinich Curry was spiiiiicy! All in all we enjoyed our lunch very much!

Very delicious food and friendly service. Sandy was super friendly and offered great service. We ordered many different chats and every one of them was super tasty and well presented. Paani for Paani poori could use a little more spice and flavor but everything else tasted great. Masala Chai was well made and completed our meal!

Aangara is a gem! The food was absolutely delicious and made exactly how we wanted it. Great service too! Highly recommend!

This is some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Chicken 65 and the chicken Tikka Masala were amazing! If I lived closer I would be eating here all the time.

I had a good experience food was delicious and my waiter sandy was great. I will definitely be returning

Awesome food...great ambience... wonderful service

We enjoyed the food and service. We will definitely be back. My daughter and her boyfriend are there almost every week. When I comes back to town, this restaurant is the MUST place!

Sandy was our waiter and was excellent. I'm a vegan and he had requested the chef to make one of the dishes vegan for me. This is fifth time here and I will be back to try something new on their wonderful menu. If I can give them more stars I would this is a must go restaurant. I recommend them highly.

the food and the service is amazing! everyone is so kind here and you can tell they truly care about their customers. the interior is very cozy and welcoming, and i promise you will have a great dining experience if you go here. they have a variety of options on the menu and there is something for everyone. there is parking next to the building that is free, which is a plus. if you are considering going here, please do! you will not regret it :)

First time visiting this Indian Restaurant in Keyport and I was extremely satisfied with my dining experience. The ambiance was perfect for a good conversation with friends. I am also very impressed with the customer service provided by all the stuff including the owner! I would highly recommend!

Angara is the one of the Best Restaurants in south Jersey I have a very good experience Palak paneer is most Delicious item wich I love regularly I order for take out once it was too spicy I just called to informed owner was very nice after I said no than also he send me a fresh one delivered to my house without charge I was really appreciate Great customer service

I ate in and tried the malai kofta and Afghani style chicken korma. Both totally exceeded expectations. The mango lassi, chili garlic naan and panipuri were also all brilliantly flavored.

We have visited Aangara twice now and are on our way for a third visit. Every meal has been exquisite. The Mulligatawny soup was delicious. We enjoyed both the Butter Naan and Butter Garlic Naan. The Papad were crispy and roasted to perfection. The Chicken 65 appetizer was deliciously spicy and crispy with a great presentation. Both previous visits included a sizzling plate of Tandoori Lamb Chops. These bone in lamb chops were the most flavorful we’ve ever had. The plate is piled high with six chops that are moist and delicious. So far, we have sampled the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was rich and creamy, with a slight sweetness and tanginess with just the right degree of heat. The Butter Chicken we elected to have spiced “Indian style”. It was tender, spicy, aromatic, and creamy. We discovered the Mango Lassi, a wonderful creamy rich drink that will immediately calm your tastebuds should you get a bite that is a bit too spicy. Having all this wonderful food made for a delightful time, but the addition of their superb service puts this dining experience over the top. We highly recommend you visit this new gem in Keyport.

Very good. Staff was courteous and helpful with all our questions and let us choose the heat levels according to our tastes. Whether you don’t eat spicy food or you like Indian level spicy, you will find something you will enjoy.

Coming from the UK, we are used to the option of many Indian restaurants in a small area. I appreciate in Keyport, this is a unique restaurant offering Great dishes, flavours and spices. The service was exceptional and staff were very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be back.

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 must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with beautiful Indian décor that instantly transported me to the streets of India. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Now, let's talk about the food - absolutely divine! Each dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. From the indulging dal makhani to the creamy butter chicken, every bite was a culinary delight. The naan bread was fluffy and served piping hot, the perfect accompaniment to soak up the delicious curries. I also appreciated the vegetarian appetizers available, which were just as mouthwatering as their meat counterparts. The palak chaat was mouthwatering delicious and the crispy corn chaat was divine. Whether you're a carnivore or herbivore, there's something for everyone here. The burnt garlic paneer tikka and the tandoori platters were so indulging and flavorful and had abundant food on the plate to share with the table. Overall, I highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

This place is an absolute must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts. The food is outstanding; I tried the Chicken Kolhapuri, which was a perfect blend of spices and customized to my preferred spice level. The Chicken Chapli Kabab was another highlight, featuring minced chicken meat seasoned perfectly and grilled to perfection. It was definitely a finger-licking experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, with a strong focus on customer satisfaction. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Amazing food! Got takeout so can’t speak to service or atmosphere. Though it’s a little pricier, it tasted like a home cooked meal. Great portions. All these other local Indian food restaurants I’ve tried locally can’t hold a flame to Aangara. 10/10 recommend. The korma was spectacular!

9/6/24 We stumbled upon this charming little restaurant while in the area for a concert. It appears to be a converted house, adding to its unique and inviting atmosphere. Vaibhavi was an excellent server, polite, patient, and helpful. Masala soda was a refreshing start to our meal. Fish Amritsari - flavorful and tender dish, with a delightful kick of spice. Kolhapuri Chicken - Mild and it was perfectly balanced with a variety of spices. Mango Goat - Medium spicy. Was surprisingly tender, with a great balance of sweet and spicy. It wasn't gamey at all. Butter Garlic Naan - soft, garlicky, and so delicious that we ordered another serving to go. Overall, this hidden gem offered a delightful dining experience with delicious food and friendly service.

I went here on a recommendation and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is a welcoming oasis that greets you as soon as you enter the door. The food was super flavorful and easily tops other indian restaurants in the area. Their wide selection already had me going back to try other dishes, and I am salivating just thinking of their food while writing this review. I will most definitely be back.

You kind of know what to expect but then you are pleasantly surprised when it’s better than you imagined. The dining area was filled with laughter, homey vibes, and delicious aromas. My husband is a very picky eater and warned me before we entered that he’d be a pain in the a$$ if we didn’t enjoy our food here but he was blown out of the water by the entire experience — he even wrote a positive review to share in the joy this food brought him. It was small gestures like a chopped lime in my diet soda that made all the difference in our experience. We had a few different staff attend our table which really lended to us having a great dinner. There was a friendly waitress who recommended kulfi for dessert and said it was made in house; highly recommended trying it if you like ice cream. It’s a little sweeter. My husband had chicken tikka masala, rice, garlic naan, and I tried the goat masala. Dessert was the pistachio and mango kulfi. Next time I’d love to try their vegetarian options.

Love it here! This was my second time and everything was just as great as I remembered it. We ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala (both come with rice), Butter Garlic Naan, Vegetable Samosas, and Lassuni Gobi. Large portion sizes, so you don’t leave hungry! The food is fantastic and the staff is very nice. The atmosphere is very comfortable. I happily drive 30 minutes to come here and would absolutely recommend you do as well!

Amazing fast service and the food was delicious. It was my mom’s birthday and they gave a surprise chocolate pastry for dessert which was super delicious. Highly recommend and sandrol gave us a great service.

This has to be one of the greatest indian restaurants in all of New Jersey! The food was authentic and delicious. The service was great, and the atmosphere was also nice but not too busy. They have lots of vegan and vegetarian options. They are also nut friendly. Everything tasted fantastic, but the highlight of the meal was the vegetable kohlapuri, and it was arguably the best in Jersey. Other dishes I would recommend are the pind te chole and the aloo gobi matar.

Everything we ordered was full of favor and perfect!!! BEST Indian food in town

Amazingly delicious. I have not eaten at many Indian restaurants but so glad we visited this one. So much flavor. Everything was so good we dug right in. Wish I took pictures of dishes when they were first brought out. Plenty of food and the staff was very helpful, accommodating and kind. Cannot wait to go back.

I just had dinner with my husband and our friend who is a chef, we all loved everything. Very authentic and so delicious. And my favorite samosas I've ever had!

The food is absolutely incredible! I’ve had half the menu and never had anything I didn’t love. The butter chicken is always amazing, but my favorite is the carrot pudding dessert. Gajiar halwa. It’s better than carrot cake, and carrot cake is me favorite dessert.

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 ?????

I would have taken photos but we it all too fast and by the time I thought to leave the review it was time to go. What a wonderful experience. Malcom was very doting and attentive. Our orders came out perfect and sizzling hot. We're not Indian food experts but MAN everything we had was phenomenal! They asked if we wanted mild or spicy which was very convenient since heat and I aren't friends. We had chicken 65, another appetizer whose name I forgot, mango shrimp and the chicken biryani (which is like the Indian equivalent to fried rice). We also ended with a hot chai, custard ice cream and a cheese in creamy sauce dessert that knocked my socks off. Exotic. Fresh. Magical.

Tried this place tonight after many recommendations and it did NOT disappoint!! We got tandoori chicken, paneer palak, butter chicken, vegetable biryani and garlic butter naan. Everything was absolutely delicious!! The size of the portions was on the smaller size considering the prices (only 3 small pieces of tandoori chicken for $22, a handful of pieces of chicken in the butter chicken but a ton of sauce for $21). Both came with a small side of white rice. I do think we'll order again since there aren't any good Indian restaurants around here and the food was delicious. It'll definitely be a treat night tho!

Great appetizers and wonderful service. Nice ambience set in a cozy homey environment. Staff was great and informative about the options. Vegan items are clearly displayed on the menu. Only thing they should add is a dairy free dessert otherwise 10/10!

Aangara is what made me fall in love with Indian food! The servers are always kind and attentive. Both dining in and ordering delivery from them has been a fantastic experience. I will keep coming back time and time again for their paneer tikka masala and garlic naan!

Fantastic food. Tons of veg and vegan options and they accommodated nut allergies. Would highly recommend!

Lots of different dishes available to try. The prices are reasonable too. Wish they were lower though. The dine in is quiet and peaceful. Buffet on weekends for $25 available too.

We are really lucky this opened in Keyport! The food is top notch whether I’ve dined in or ordered through Door Dash. The menu has all the staples you’d expect but they’re just done so much better. The tandoori mix is a can’t miss. Portions are great and prices are fair. Perfect place for a quiet night close to home.

If your seeing this its a sign .This is by far the best indian restaurant I've ever been too. Im a real foodie and I am telling you this is the BEST restaurant in all of keyport . If you want to try indian food this is where you go. I mean everything today was a 10/10

This is a big turned into a restaurant. Very good and cozy vibes. It is spacious enough tho! Hara bhara kabab, crispy corn chaat, malai paneer sizzler (not pictured), amul cheese butter masala dish and haryali paneer tikka ( best one)! Cute little complimentary sweet treat at the end. Decent prices and quantities.

We’ve dined at Angara multiple times, and each visit has been exceptional. This charming, long-standing establishment offers a warm, homely atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The food is consistently outstanding—bursting with authentic flavors and prepared to perfection. Their black daal, flavorful vegetarian & non-vegetarian curries, and Indo-Chinese street-style dishes are absolute standouts. The kokum drink is a refreshing highlight that pairs beautifully with the meal. The staff is always friendly and attentive, ensuring a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. Angara never disappoints. A true hidden gem—highly recommended!

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Aangara in Keyport! The saag paneer was rich and perfectly spiced, the tandoori chicken had just the right smoky flavor, and the chicken biryani was beautifully aromatic. The orange kulfi at the end was a delightful treat. The service was warm and welcoming. Look forward to coming back. Highly recommend this gem!

?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!
