Aangan
“)
They have a very impressive takeout/delivery special for $14.95 that includes an app, entree, naan, basmati rice, and several sauces.”
“I'd give Indus Valley a slight edge on quality (only slight, though), but Aangan gives you almost twice as much food for the money.”
“I love Aangan — I haven't actually been inside the place, but I always order from them with seamless web and they are great!”

the lunch deal is terrific. served thali style, the portions are perfect. i ordered the non-vegetarian lunch with the chicken. it was moist and delicious. the gulub jaman is particularly delicious. service and ambiance is great. go and have lunch there. oh and splurge $1 extra for the garlic naan. it's so worth it.
This is by far my favorite Indian in the neighborhood and perhaps beyond. I started off getting the takeout/delivery special from grubhub and became hooked. For $15, you get an entree, basmati rice, an appetizer, naan, and a trio of mint, tamarind and mango chutney. It gets better; most of the appetizers come with cholee in the container and it's the best cholee I've ever had. My favorite appetizer so far has been the Dahi Kebab but the Seekh Kebab was great, too.
After ordering chicken tikka masala takeout specials again and again, I had to come into the restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the interior is. They have an amazing lunch platter deal (thali style) which was a lot of fun to try with a friend (they have regular, vegetarian and seafood options). For dinner, this place is downright romantic and has exceptional service. I got the Chicken Tikka Harayali and it lasted me 3 meals. I can't say the same for my bottle of Kingfisher.
The food was fine, nothing special. Service was attentive, but I was one of two tables in here for early dinner. Nothing wrong with the food just nothing compelling. I had the Navratan Korma which had a good variety of vegetables, but the sauce was not as creamy as some places and lacked a lot of flavor and spice. The basmati rice was fine, as was the mango lassi. I didn't have a bad experience but I wouldn't return.
My experience with Aangan is both of a dine in one and of a seamless delivery one. Definitely the best possible deal. Seamless- 15 bucks u get an appetizer, an entre and a naan bread. The quantity is huge. It easily feeds two people. The taste is always great. I have ordered frm them half a dozen times and have never been let down. Recommend malai chicken tikka, butter chicken ( the best one in ny so far) and malai kofta. Dine in- lunch thalis are amazing- i have tried the seafood and veggie thali. Both were absolutely delicious! Malai shrimp and goan curry were very well made. Their menu is innovative. Overall a 4 star place to dine in and definitely 5 star for delivery.
I was tempted to give Aangan three stars due to the price, but then I remembered that this is NYC and everything is overpriced so 4 stars it is. We've been here several times and have left happy each time. Aangan has become our go-to place for out of town visitors. Vindaloo was appropriately spicy, curry was flavorful, and the saag paneer is among the best we've had. Portions are on the small side for what you pay, but if you get there before 8 PM you can usually get a table immediately.
Bummed out about my delivery order.
The $9 samosas were obviously pre-frozen and then microwaved. (I've had the same kind at other venues.) They are also not "samosas" but fried, flat triangles. Also, the lamb in my lamb saag was dry and tasteless. The best dish by far was the chicken with almond and coconut milk. Not sure it was enough to keep me coming back. For $45, certainly not. What a let down.
One of the better Indian restaurants in the neighborhood, Aangan offers the locals a solid Indian fare for a slightly dressy environment. It made me smile that the decor is more formal than the clientele: multicolored mosaic art pieces and medium sized chandelier amongst Columbia students and retirees.
I ordered lamb pakku and my partner had bhindi do piaza. The lamb was melt-in-your- mouth tender, and I sopped up every bit of the sauce with the garlic naan. The cook prepared the okra perfectly: the okra was fully cooked, with a spring and never stringy.
Since we arrived well before the dinner crowd, the waiters were extremely attentive, pulling out the chair for me, checking on us while we waited, and several times while we were eating.
Aangan offers solid satisfactory Indian food. If I lived in the neighborhood, I will certainly be back.
I had the naan, chutney, lamb rogan josh and some kind of chaat with little whole wheat crackers in it – which weirdly enough was one of my favorite bits.
Altogether, the flavor was off in the rogan josh, the mango chutney was way too sweet and the fact that there were only 6 bits of lamb in the rogan josh really disappointed me.
It was a good deal for the price, but I prefer Alachi Masala.
