Aagaman Indian Nepalese Restaurant: Melbourne CBD (Flinders Lane) — Restaurant in Melbourne

Aagaman Restaurant is truly a gem when it comes to Indian and Nepalese cuisine. My meal was an absolute delight from start to finish! We started with the King’s Platter, a perfect mix of flavors, and the Wonders of Momos (chicken)—so juicy and packed with spices. For mains, the Southern Pride (chettinad madras) lamb was incredibly tender with a rich, spicy kick, and the Nutty & Creamy (korma) beef was beautifully balanced. The standout, though, was the Spicy & Dicey (Gurkhali chilli chicken)—full of heat and flavor!

The Royal Delight (fig kofta) was a nice vegetarian surprise, while the Kashmiri pulao paired perfectly with the Garlic Naan and the Cheese and Spinach Naan (we had four serves!). Everything was so delicious and satisfying.

For dessert, the Chocolate Samosa was a fun twist, while the Pista Kulfi and Gulab Jamun with ice cream were the perfect sweet finish.

We also enjoyed some refreshing drinks—the Mango Lassi was thick and creamy, while the Pineapple Ginger Feast, Virgin Mojito, and Strawberry Delight were all refreshing and fruity!

Overall, a wonderful dining experience. Can’t wait to return for more!

Pani Puri is a must-try entrée! These crispy parcels are filled with spiced potato, chickpeas, and a sweet-sour blend of date and tamarind chutney, served with fragrant, aromatic water for a burst of flavor in every bite.

Each dish bursts with bold flavours and authentic spices, beautifully plated to elevate the experience. The malabar prawn was a standout—rich, tender, super fresh, and full of aromatic spices.

So, If you're looking for that inspiring push to try this place, this is it. We were looking for something easy and chill. We live down the alleyway next to it and had walked passed often. So we were keen to finally try it. This place smashed it out of the park. Friendly, welcoming and attentative service with outstanding food. We destroyed the pani puri, the complexity of flavours in this dish were harmonious and balanced with a long lasting finish on the palate that held a vibrant fresh zing. For mains we opted for our usual curry suspects; Butter chicken and chicken Korma. Both curries absolutely ticked the boxes of some of the best curry we've had in years. Beautifully tender chicken with rich creamy sauces boasting a gorgeous flavour that created a warmth in your heart that you hadn't felt since the last time you had a hot chocolate in front of the fire watching the snow fall in a late evening. The breads were solid. Crispy yet fluffy and full of flavour. Honestly, we got a garlic naan and my immediate thought after my first bite was: oh snap! Real life garlic! My partner almost snapped the cheese and spinach naan out of the servers hand once she saw the cheese oozing out the side. Great taste. Wine list could be better but we paid $10 a glass so I'm not complaining just stating. Price was tight with no Sunday surcharge! We entered with no expectations and left with a...
