The SD Food Advisor's take on Aangan
Dine in during their buffet hours, as this is the best time to sample their dishes. Given the quality and quantity of the buffet spread, with setting and mood thrown in, the food is indeed value for money. Tucked inside Excelsior Shopping Center, it might be a little off the beaten track. Once found and dined in, you'll realize it's worth the search.
