We had a great time, the service was prompt and staff were friendly and helpful. I have eaten Indian food before that had loads of chilli but no 'depth' of flavour. Aangan food is delicious and I'm looking forward to going back again soon.

Expect a small side entrance to a noisy, crowded dining arena. The food really is no better than your average local Indian diner. Don't cross city precints going to Aangan just because someone said it's the best Indian in Melbourne.

The non-vegetarian platter with tandoori chicken and chicken tikka all tasted like sriracha and ketchup, with no distinct flavors. There were no tandoor marks on the dishes and no selection of kebabs like achaari or malai, as there had been in the past. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience.

They had high chairs available and the food was exceptional with generous portion sizes. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to going back for another lovely evening.
