Good food; however plagued with terrible service.

We were a group of four, the other couple with me decided to pay cash ($63.5 bill paid during ordering) They paid 100$ requiring change, for whatever reason, they were told they would bring the change to the table later. Upon wanting to leave, we asked for the change and were told to wait a few minutes. After sitting there for 5 more minutes We were brought the change, only to be told they were short a 50c coin. They said 'is that okay?' We were so over the service and wanted to leave so we accepted and walked off.. but what kind of business would make it the customers problem if they are short coins ?

During the dinner, entree was brought quick (positive). It took around 10 minutes for a lemon lime bitters to be brought, after waiting 5 mins a worker came and asked if we had ordered one... yes... then 5 mins later another worker takes it to the wrong table before finding ours. At this point we were joking around whats with the service here ? Only for it to get stranger.

When mains were brought, we received the curries first (no rice). Plates were taken by the waiter and we waited another 5 minutes for new plates without eating. Another 5 minutes after that the rice was finally brought so we could start eating.

Overall the table service felt very disjointed. It wasn't busy at all so i'm not sure how this many mistakes could happen. Potentially a lack of experienced staff but don't think i'll return any time soon. For those considering, the food is good and I hope you are lucky enough to have a better...

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Not Worth a Visit

Visited Aangan Restaurant in Point Cook with my family for a Friday night dinner, and unfortunately, it was a complete disaster from start to finish. The place was untidy and had an unpleasant smell as soon as we walked in. To make matters worse, the cutlery – including the glasses, plates, and spoons – was dirty, which immediately set off alarm bells about hygiene standards.

The owners, a couple who seemed to be running the place, appeared inexperienced and quite clueless about handling a busy dinner service. The service lacked coordination, and there was no sense of professionalism.

We started with the Chilli Chicken, which was overcooked, dry, and completely tasteless. Hoping things would improve, we tried the Fish Tikka, but it was overwhelmingly dominated by ajwain (carom seeds), which ruined the overall flavor.

For the main course, we ordered the Chicken 65 Biryani. It was greasy with excessive ghee and, surprisingly, filled with the same Chilli Chicken we had ordered earlier as an entrée – not Chicken 65. The flavors were poorly balanced, and the rice was partly uncooked, making the dish inedible.

Overall, it was a deeply unsatisfying experience for what should have been an enjoyable Friday night dinner. The owners seriously need to step up their game, pay attention to cleanliness, and perhaps consider hiring a skilled chef if they want to improve. This place is not worth the money you pay. Not...
