ABOUT US
Aangan: Our Essence
Aangan evokes the warmth and nostalgia of a traditional courtyard in South Asian homes, including Nepal and India—a central spot where families come together to share meals, celebrate life, and create memories under the open sky. It’s a place of togetherness, where the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors blur, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
At our restaurant, Aangan, we embody this timeless concept. Our culinary haven is designed to be more than just a place to eat; it’s where guests can experience the essence of home across South Asia. Every dish we serve is a celebration of flavors that are deeply rooted in the diverse traditions of the region yet presented with a contemporary twist, aiming to bring people closer, just like the gatherings in the courtyards of old.
Here, every meal is an occasion, every bite a story, and every guest a part of our extended family. Welcome to Aangan, where we bring the spirit of the traditional South Asian courtyard to life, inviting you to create new memories with us.
