The perfect venue to catch up with a group of your besties, Aangan has it all. As you sit back and get comfy in the dimly lit surroundings – complete with opulent dark wood furnishings and cushioned seating – take a moment to soak up the vibrant atmosphere, where a traditional Indian band, fabulous food and impeccable service never fail to impress. To start, we recommend a platter of the golden deep-fried vegetable pakoras dunked in sweet chilli sauce, followed by an assortment of authentic Indian favourites – from the spicy tandoori chicken and the decadent dal makhani to the rich lamb rogan josh, guaranteed to set tastebuds on fire. After-dinner delights include the usual array of calorific sweet treats, we love the plump purple gulab jamons for the perfect end to a perfect evening.
