| - I haven't had Indian food since moving to Vegas a 1 1/2 years ago, so I've been craving it for somtime. I had been searching for an Indian buffet nearby thank you to whomever added Angara as a business for ending my search.
Angara is on Grand Canyon behind McDonalds, next door to Tropical Smooth and two doors from Bite.
Buffets is available only during lunch and is only $10.99/person. If you have never had Indian food, this is a very good deal and allows you to try all the popular Indian dishes. In fact, I recommend trying a little bit of everything. The staff at Angara is very helpful. If you wanna know about a dish, they are more than happy to answer your questions.
As you are seated, you are offered two types of naan, plain or garlic. I chose plain as I had to return to the office, and I wanted to be sure I could taste the flavors of the other dishes.
At the beginning of the buffet, they have large sized samosas (my all time favorite, Indian pastry filled with potatoes and peas), followed by the vegetarian entrees like Saan paneer (my all time favorite Indian vegetarian dish, creamy spinach with cheese cubes), lentil and eggplant dishes. I'm not a hot/spicy dish person. In the past, I have known saan paneer as a mild dish, but Angara makes it spicy that I had to eat it with the naan instead of the rice.
Unfortunately, because I filled up on the samosa, vegetarian dishes, rice and naan, the only meat dish I could get to was the chicken tikka. Proof that one can get very full on vegetarian dishes alone. Next time, I'll have to start with the meats. Other meat dishes available were chicken tandoori and goat curry. One dish I wish they had is fried fish bites.
At the end of the buffet were desserts that I'm unfamiliar with, but will try in a future visit, and regular house salad which baffles me with all the vegetarian dishes available, but to each his/her own.
