I’m so glad this place opened up. It’s easily the best Indian food around. I will definitely be coming back! The staff were very friendly and attentive.

Very happy with the resturant's atmosphere and service. When asked what spicy level ask for 'indian' spice level if you dare. Otherwise the spice level is doable and delicious. BYOB. Nice atmosphere for date night too.

Best food I’ve ever had in my life

The people who own it are amazing. The food was supurb!! Delicious, authentic cousins are totally made with love. The guys are very passionate about the food they serve. We will be back.

I am a 11 year old kid and I personally love indian food and this is one of the best indian restaurants I ever been to. The food was awesome. I really liked the cheese naan. I really suggest this restaurant.

The food was amazing! Started out with the Chutney and Papad. Flavors swimming around in my mouth and just the right amount of heat. The garlic butter naan was perfect. Lamb kabob and assorted chicken kabob. So yum. Wonderful experience. Gracious hosts. It was late lunch so not too busy and the chef came out and told us about some of them items. So nice that Keyport has a restaurant like this. I wish these folks all the best!

Service is extremely Good… Loved the Food must visit place when you are hungry…

First time having Indian food, did take out but definitely will dine in next time. We ordered crispy shrimp, curry shrimp, chicken tikka masala and butter garlic naan.

Absolutely delectable.

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!

Service was amazing and food was wonderful

We decided to try this Indian restaurant based on google reviews and so glad we did! wow, some of the best Indian food we have ever had… It is nice not to track up to Edison area. The spices and flavor dimensions of the foods are amazing and diverse. It is a hidden gem in a family neighborhood that’s easily missed. Also worth mentioning is the weekend lunch all-you-can-eat buffet… OMG… need a wheelbarrow to take me home.

One of the best Indian restaurants in the area. The quality and taste of the food as well as the service and taking care of guests is top notch.

High quality fresh Indian food… one of the best in the region

Food was awesome, we ordered Banjara chicken,l highly recommended. Other food Afghani chicken and Naan was awesome. Service and atmosphere was amazing.Highly recommended this restaurant.

Yum! So good.

We tried dinner and food served was decent, less crowded but busy place for take outs. Worth a visit and food quality was also good. Chicken quesadillas, chilli paneer and lachaa parantha was stand out dishes in our order.Other dishes were also good. Will rate overall experience as 8/10 and will surely recommend.

Thank You All at Aangara...Ønly Løve

A wonderful gem ! Authentic Indian fare. Spectacular traditional dishes along with modern twists. From mango lassi to large roasted platters, buttery naan and interesting appetizers. Come hungry-leave very satisfied! Friendly staff.

Very great service, good food, good quality and quantity, would recommend coming and enjoying

We have a great experience with our family!!!

Food is so delicious !!

I was there last week for a group dinner. Food and service was on point. I would definitely recommend.

One fo the best Indian Cuisine I’ve had in New Jersey.

We went as a family of 7 and the food and service was exceptional. The food came out really fast and it was a great welcoming atmosphere! We will be back for sure!!

Such a lovely new restaurant for keyport.

The staff are attentive and friendly. I ordered a meal that was too spicy, and the chef came out to talk to me. I ended up choosing another meal at no charge and they gave me a yogurt drink to tame the heat in my mouth and throat.

Spectacular, across the board. Each dish had its own complexity.

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! ???

Every dish was delicious. Chicken vindaloo, palak paneer and hara bara kabobs all wonderful. Will be back.

Food was fantastic. Service was also excellent. Plenty of Vegeterian options as well. Naan is crispy and well done. The methi malai mutter and the khubani kofta were amazing. Highly recommend. The papad and corn chaat were also very good.

Had a great family dining experience here. The food quality is excellent and the staff provided great service throughout. The palak paneer was rich and delicious, and the tandoori was full of flavor. Would love to come back again!

This was our first time experiencing Indian food and it was amazing!! We will be back!!

If you ever wanted to experience Indian cuisine and felt intimidated this restaurant is for you. Exceedingly attentive and friendly service. The menu is set-up to make deciding easy. If you have questions or need help deciding the staff is eager to assist you. They are excited about their food and want to make your dinning experience memorable. The food tastes as as if you arrived in India and stepped into a local restaurant that the locals call their favorite. Flavors like you never enjoyed before. My wife and I have decided to put this restaurant into our budget so we can dine here regularly. A must stop.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I've been here many times and each time is better than the last!

Food is great but time estimates can be incorrect on busy days. Worth the wait though!

Best Indian food I’ve ever had

The best restaurant! If you’re debating trying it- just go, you will not be disappointed. Excellent food and service. Best in the area

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 ??

If you are in mood for good tasting Indian food, go here......portion sizes are reasonably large also.....had a great dinner.

Always tasty. Very consistent product. Well worth the price. Included some free little extra treats in the bag when we ordered on Christmas. Always our go-to spot for Indian. Samosas are the best I've had anywhere!!

The food was really great and flavorful. We ordered the Gongura chicken and Kadhai paneer with Naan, and everything was delicious.

Enjoyed a good dinner. Food and service was pleasant. The dhai kebab and grilled sizzlers was very good

Good food. Service slow on busy days. Great atmosphere and staff.

Party of four had dinner on a early Fri nite.We were pleasantly seated in a booth which was way too small,moved to a table which was a tad better.We ordered salad,apps,and main course...Took a while for the apps to come out,and never received the salads.Acutally we received the wrong salads so we just cancelled them.The entrees came out missing one of them...The waitress and gentlemen serving the food seem clueless,told another gentleman maybe the owner,he went to see what happened..The dish came out about ten minutes later...The food was excellent but the service was very poor, as I had to call the waitress over numerous times...even for the desert menu...was nevered offered anything for the missing entree or the salads....maybe we will give you another shot after you get the kinks worked out...

The food was very good except for the goat biryani, which was mostly bone and gristle. There are better options for Indian food in Monmouth County.

Service was very good.Food was also good.We ordered fish amritsari and kadhai paneer with butter naan. Paneer pieces were very less compared to the price we paid.Hardly 5 pieces.Gravy was enough. As the menu price is on a little higher side .. the paneer quantity should be enough.

awesome place awesome food

Amazing food!!

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.

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.

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.

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!
