Discover Your Latest Craving at Aangan India Bistro

By Nicholas Dekker

Crosswoods is full of hidden gems, and while Aangan India Bistro sits in a giant stand-alone building in the center of the parking lot, it still feels like a special discovery.

The family-run Indian eatery is housed in an old Ruth’s Chris. The spacious main dining room features vaulted ceilings. Their expansive menu is available for dine-in and carryout, and they feature a full bar!

The menu is separated into Starters, Soups/Salads, Rice, Tandoori & Grill, From the Land & Sea, Signature Entrees, From the Garden, and Naan/Roti. It’s easy to build a meal that everyone in your party will love. Start with a vegetable sampler, a North Indian samosa chat with chickpeas, samosas, and papard: crispy thin lentil wafers.

The entrees span selections from chicken and lamb dishes, to vegetables and shrimp or fish. You’ll find classics like lamb biryani, tandoori chicken, murgh makhani (butter chicken), bengan bharta (eggplant), mater paneer (a soft, mild cheese), and channa masala (chickpeas cooked with spices). All of it is smartly executed and sure to please.

Make sure you order crispy garlic naan, roti, paratha (whole wheat bread cooked with butter), or peshwari naan (naan cooked with raisins, nuts, and coconut). Nothing beats the simple joy of tearing off pieces of bread to scoop up delectable bites of tender chicken, lamb, or veggies.
