Angara Indian Restaurant in Torrance

Food is absolutely *incredible*. Their butter chicken and tikka masala is delicious and hearty. Saffron rice is good too, their naan is really good.

Restaurant looks like it went through a recent renovation. The booths were clean and looked new. My husband and I came for dinner and loved every dish we ordered.Im vegan and he is not so Indian is always a great choice for us. We had the samosas, vegetable pakora, and lentil soup to start. Everything was delicious.I had the Dal Tadka spicy and roti. He had the lamb vindaloo spicy and garlic naan. We had to stop ourselves from over eating... lol The dishes were spiced perfectly.This was our first time here, so we cant compare to previous ownership, but the current chef knows Indian flavors! 👌We would definitely come back and highly recommend!

This used to be such a great buffet! I have now tried it with the new owners 2 x and I am done. Place used to be soooo busy at lunch but both times under new ownership there have been 1 or 2 people in there. Food is never really out on time, either, which is a problem as I only have 30 minutes for lunch. Food is passable, but with the other obstacles definitely not worth my time or money. Lunch Buffet is advertised as $14.95 but at checkout I was told it is $16.95 on Friday and Saturday. What?? It is the exact same food on Friday as Monday - Thursday! They have a credit card kiosk and when I asked the server if I could pay cash she said yes, I tried to hand her the money but she said I would have to walk over to the counter...where the same person met me to take my cash. What?? Dont waste your time here. Much better Indian buffet on PCH and Anza. Or pretty much anywhere.

This wasn’t the BEST tasting Indian food I’ve ever had but lunch was still enjoyable. First off - the price! Buffet lunch for $14.95 is an unbeatable value. There was also lots of parking and located on a Main Street, so driving here was a piece of cake. I sooo wanted to love the food….it was yummy but not over-the-top delicious. Some of the dishes had been sitting out a while so the daal makhani had a slightly burnt taste, the samosas were chewy and the naan had dried out a bit.BUT the server was lovely and welcoming and that made up for everything. Give it a try - love to see small businesses like this succeed!

A nice place to have decent Indian food with AMAZING service … Limited varieties but still delicious (most of them) But the service covered everything that was missing….will visit again sometime…..

Ordered appetizers to be delivered and they canceled my order 10 minutes before it was supposed to be delivered! I was counting on these appetizers to fill out the menu for a dinner party. I ordered them several hours before I needed them.

Was very disappointed with the food I received. I got Veg Biryani which was rice mixed with hot sauce with peas and corn. Also got Garlic Naan and Mutter Paneer which tasted really weird. Unfortunately had to throw it all away.

Ordered the dal tadka, bhaingan barta, vegetable soup, Gobi Manchurian and garlic naan- Bhaingan barta was too burnt-Gobi Manchurian tasted more like chilly gobi . ( No flavour at all )- Dal tadka did not have any flavour- Garlic naan was the only better item

Great staffHas a few non standard menu items which are amazing.The rose lasse is amazingTheir spices and curries are greatStreet parking onlyNo booze or beerGreat for groupsWell kept and cleanFast serviceRomantic setting for date nigthVegetarian optionsAwsome simple menu

First time coming. We came on a Friday night for dinner. The lady at the counter was very sweet. We got two entres one was chicken tiki masala and one was the goat curry. They dont come with rice or naan so we ordered rice and 4 naan, and two mango Lassi for 70 bucks. The mango Lassi was good. The Naan was a little doughy on one side. The goat curry was OK. The chicken tiki Masala had a nice beginning flavor but tasted like canned tomato. The rice was good, light and fluffy.
