Great new Indian spot in Queen west!
There has been a few restaurants in this location over the past few years, including a higher end vegan Italian most recently. It's a large space and I'm sure the costs associated with this size of operation can be daunting. Now we have Angara as the latest and because this is their second location after the one in Etobicoke they must know what they are doing to give this location a go.
The first thing that made me like Angara was the friendly and attentive service, which was welcome!
The second thing I liked was the large selection of lunch specials for only $12.99 for a complete meal, wow now that's decent.
I like going for lunch so I'm always looking out for a deal, since a la carte ordering is just not practical for a regular work day lunch.
And the price makes for a practical experience, not just a special occasion, which is what these businesses rely on for income.
There are two lunch special menus, one for Indian and one for Hakka, and in fact I didn't see another dinner menu, just a drinks one so I'm not sure about dinner options.
I ordered the chicken vindaloo which was excellent! The perfect spice level, and accompanied by both rice and naan, along with the yoghurt side and some raw onions and cukes. This was all really good, including the fresh naan bread straight from the tandoor was amazing!
The other impressive aspect to my lunch special was that the order size was perfect. It was a substantial amount of food, especially since Indian food is rich, but not too much either which allowed me to finish everything with ease and feel very satisfied when done.
Highly recommended in the burgeoning Indian restaurant category in this area of downtown.
Check it out soon!
