My wife and I come to Angara pretty much every week for our dinner date the food is just that good. The flavors are always on point, and you can tell everything is made fresh. We've tried a bunch of dishes, and honestly haven't had a bad one yet. The service is always excellent. The young gentleman (sorry dont know is name) is friendly and makes you feel welcome without being over the top. Ambiance-wise, it's nothing fancy pretty simple setup -- but we don't mind. We're here for the food and good vibes, and Angara delivers every time. If you're looking for great Indian food without the fuss, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

After many years of driving past this place on the way to Del Amo Mall growing up, I FINALLY checked it out recently! Thankfully, I was able to find parallel parking right in front of this restaurant. Off to a great start! While entering, I loved seeing their homely Home Screen door and their extended patio area. Once you go inside, you will notice how much more lighting this place has as opposed to other Indian places. Their booth architecture was pretty cool and comfy as well. I went during their lunch buffet that others have told me about. Honestly, I kind of expected a little MORE variety for the amount they charge. They randomly have a small barrel jug of tomato soup, and an area just for their naan bread, which is cool; BUT their naan bread is kind of different from the traditional ones that usually have chopped up garlic and coriander on it. Angara's naan bread doesn't have any of that on their naan; which was disappointing. I ended up trying their Tikka Masala, grilled chicken, mixed rice, etc.. Usually in other spots, I get other stuff like samosas, potatoes, and other cool different creative stuff to choose from. Angara has pretty much your basic, standard choices. I was like mehhh. Ate their food and it was just OK. Not bad, just ok. I mean I dig that it doesn't taste too salty, but I wanted more taste. The lady who served us was really nice and I loved her great customer service. Their fried vegetables weren't bad, along with their DIY desserts filled with fruit choices and mango puree. In the end, this place has its own kind of aura and flavors; which makes it a cool alternative to those who actually love going here consistently. I'm just a bigger fan of other Indian restaurants; no disrespect to Angara. To everyone who loves eating here; that's awesome for you! To each their own! Glad I was able to at least try this place out. read more

If you guys are looking for Indian food in Torrance check this place out. Instead of going to artesia come to angara in Torrance, Angara is a good spot for Indian food without having to drive far. I ordered Lamb Biryani and butter chicken and garlic naan ! The lamb biryani I got it level 3 spicy And the butter chicken I got level 7 spicy! Don't order the curry too spicy (unless you are ready to sweat) so you could enjoy your garlic naan ! I order 3 batches of the naan it goes really well with the delicious curry sauce The lamb biryani was really good as well and the portion was enough for 3 people for sure I almost forgot I even ordered the garlic Parmesan fries for starters which was really good especially if you like garlic Shout out Joy !

Angara Indian Restaurant - The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. Every dish was cooked to perfection. - Indian Near Me - Torrance, California

I often drive on Torrance Blvd. and see this restaurant. I love Indian food and have been wanting to find a local place that I can frequent whenever my cravings for Indian food kick in. Like today. I really wanted Indian food! I remembered this place so, I thought why not? I'm glad I finally tried this place because NOW I know. The food is mediocre, maybe even less than that. What was ordered: 1) Lentil Soup (I was very hungry when I ordered and when I saw this, it spoke to me) Definitely not what I was expecting ... the flavors were odd. 2) Chicken Tikka Masala Curry (extremely on the sweet side) I've definitely had much better. 3) Chicken Biryani (dry and every other bite would be a remnant of something hard - i.e. tiny bone) The flavors were just bizarre. 4) Garlic Naan (this looked amazing but unfortunately didn't taste as good as it looked - it was really bland and flavorless) read more

What a delightful lunch! This place is very clean and the buffet had a mix of north and South Indian dishes. I enjoyed the variety they offer from chicken, paneer, to street food dishes. The chai tea station and dessert is also a delicious touch! Finally, the staff in particular Shitrit was so kind and helpful. She took the time to let us know of each dish and origin. Everything is cooked with mild-ish spice so it can be enjoyed by all. Would I be back here? Most definitely! Also, there's something to be said about supporting delicious and kind local businesses. read more

You done it again. You're a genius! This was so good. I'm in food coma. I tried the chicken Tikka and chicken vindaloo with my son and wife! Great family time. Ill be back next week thank staff . Great customer service. read more

I ordered tikka chicken. It's supposed to be all white meat chicken. Instead, they cut off the drumsticks and thighs from the buffet early in the day and cooked it again. What I got was chicken so overcooked that it was hard as a rock. We waited an hour for that. The naan was flat and hard. It seems they are cutting corners and are not trying anymore. read more

The tacos (paneer, lamb, chicken) are probably the best in Old Torrance! Top tier food & service.

Crappy food! We tried a number of items with delivery which were all really bad: (1) Tandoori chicken - The chicken tandoori is not at all like the dish you would expect. It is yellow and has black pepper - no tandoori flavor what so ever. (2) The chicken tikka appetizer - really bad. It's like some boiled chicken. (3) The Fried rice - again not what you would expect - was just like plain rice no flavor (4) Chicken Tikka masala - this was bearable but yellow (not the traditional orange color) (5) Naan - this was all burnt Would not recommend this place! read more

If they cheat you in your face, what do they do behind you in the kitchen. Ambiance: Dead Food: Giveing Indian food a bad name Service: No service plus you will be over charged till you confront. Then you get the eye rolls. Items in menu are different than what you get. Going back to Bombay Tandoori. read more

Avoid this place if you are a vegan or like quality food. I bought the food on their online menu and I picked it up. I ordered lentil soup; it's listed as vegan. Someone put cream or butter in it. I'm sick. And there are NO lentils in this soup. It's lentil-flavored. And oily. Yuck. I also ordered yellow dal. The dal is thinner than the lentil-like soup. It tastes like dish water. Even though I live in the neighborhood I wouldn't walk here if the food was free. And trust me, it was definitely not free. I called the restaurant and they said they'll talk to the chef, make some changes, whatever. No refund, no discount the next visit. Nothing. Avoid this place. Seriously. read more

This is our go to place for Indian buffet. We come here at least once or twice a month. Their buffet is very reasonable with drink. A lot of different tasty choices of food to choose from. The owner is very friendly and she likes to try new dishes for her customers to eat. The restaurant is located close to downtown Torrance. The place is very spacious, comfortable and very clean. Highly recommended. read more

Amazing First Time Experience here. I really love the homey vibe and very warm, welcoming atmosphere. I ordered Butter Chicken. It was a perfect balance of sweet, salty and very creamy and smooth like silk. The Spice level is just right, but I do like spicy. The Garlic Naan was very tasty, one of the best I've had. It's perfect to soak up the creamy Butter Chicken sauce. I'm definitely coming back soon for more. read more

I went into this small Indian restaurant when I was passing through Torrance. I was surprised and happy when the food was excellent, considering the restaurant was somewhat empty. All of the chicken was very tender and flavorful, non-was great, and the rice was good. Service was excellent and very friendly staff. Maybe more of a lunch buffet or takeout place, but dinner dining in was excellent. read more

Randomly came across this place because of our craving for tikka masala and we were surprised by the buffet they have for lunch. For around $14.99 between 11am to 2:30pm they layout a good amount of their menu items for the buffet. I haven't tried enough Indian food to say much but everything here tasted so good. The chicken tikka masala was creamy and flavorful. The saag paneer was on par with the tikka masala with the flavor but it had a much different taste. Then to add some texture there was also vegetable pakora, the crunch pieced everything so well. Not to mention their fresh naan they gave out as well. I tried the chicken tandoori as well and it seemed like with all this food that it wouldn't taste as good mixed but not with this. I'm gonna come back to try some of their menu items when it's not within their buffet time, their garlic naan must be really good. read more

First time to this mom and pop own Indian restaurant and the only way I know how to describe it is "WOW". The flavors of their cury is now haunt for how good it was. Do you need more to convince you?

We got up for 3 plates for how good it was, Will definitely be back. read more

We had to change venues for our daughter's second birthday party in less than a week's time. In that time, Joy, was able to support us and really put together a last minute spot for her. Although it was not what I was really driving towards or what I wanted, I appreciated how much they were able to help in such a short span of time. That really meant a lot - especially because this was our first birthday celebration for her. The guests enjoyed the appetizers, entrees and desserts. The samosas were very delicious! Everyone seemed to enjoy the food so that was a win for us. Sometimes, it is more about customer service and someone just listening to you rather than thinking they are doing you a favor. I would also really like to thank the help Joy brought with him to help pack and clean up. They were super nice !!! Thank You for your help and support !! read more

To avoid getting scammed and overcharged, I strongly recommend staying away from this restaurant. It provided the worst service we've ever experienced. They not only got our order wrong but also charged us multiple times for the same item, even though it was part of the combo. They refused to admit their mistake, which leads us to believe they did it intentionally. While the food was good, the overall experience left a bad aftertaste. We will never come back again. P.S. When I checked my credit card transactions, I noticed that a larger amount was charged than what's on the receipt. Also, there should have been a refund, but I can't find it anywhere. Wow... read more

Food was ok in meat they had 4 different types of chicken only no goat or lamb was. No desert was their and naan was paper thin and hard

this was some of the best food i've had in such a long time!!

I got the lunch special and it came with a soda, the service was amazing, online it said it would be 30 minutes but I left work to go grab it about 10 minute after placing my order and received a call that it was ready!

Angara Indian Restaurant - lunch special: Butter Chicken & Tofu Masala - Indian Near Me - Torrance, California

Awesome local spot! Always fresh and great vibes. Great buffet for lunch too. I love their tikka masala and samosas especially!

I have been a regular customer at Angara for 10 plus years, the only exception being a period around 2022-23 when I found quality was not up to par. Very happy to find that coincidental with the start of new management around end of 2023, the food is once again excellent at Angara. It is our favorite Indian restaurant in the South Bay. The dishes we normally order, chicken and shrimp tikka masala, malai kofta, etc. are once again excellent. Tikka masala dish is creamy and tasteful. Extremely yummy :-) and not too sweet like it had been previously. We normally order takeout only, but I should add that the restaurant also underwent a renovation recently and the interior is very nice and clean. read more
