Wonderful service, fantastic food.

Browsing over the menu online, we thought we'd check out this restaurant as we all love Indian and Nepalese food and the combo is great. There seemed like a lot of variety; some of the "old faithfuls" from Indian restaurants, and also some new-to-us dishes on the Nepalese side.
We walked in and were the first group to dine for the night. It's got a nice decor about it, without being too fancy, and we were warmly greeted and promptly seated at the table. They gave us enough time to browse through the menu after having explained a few dishes, which was helpful, and came to take our orders. Considering we - at that stage - were the only diners, it took a little while for the entrees to come out. Yes, they do Uber or Deliveroo or one of them, but there wasn't plentiful orders coming through at one go.
Eventually the entrees came out and they smelled great and tasted good too. Mine - a salmon dish - was the last to come out. I cut into it, and low and behold, it wasn't salmon (in all honesty, it was the reason for ordering that dish). I could tell this immediately by the colour and was disappointed. The waitress came over and explained they had "run out of salmon" (so early in the night) and they used Baramundi. Firstly, I'm glad it was a fish I could actually eat (because I can't eat all fish) and secondly, why did no one say anything before prepping it?? What if I didn't want it anymore? They asked me - once it was in front of me - if I wanted it still and I actually didn't want it, but refused to keep waiting and waiting for them to cook something new. So I ate it, and luckily it was tasty. I would have thought as goodwill, they might have said, "here's a free beverage", or "we'll take it off your bill", but there was no amends to this.
When the mains came out, they were all delicious and prepared how we requested. There wasn't a whole lot of room on the table for the dishes, but the meal itself was good. The mango chicken was actual mango sauce and so delectable.
The things I didn't like about Aagaman was the way they handled the situation with my entree, and I didn't like how the waitresses/owner would shout out things to the kitchen from inside the restaurant. We'd hear "they're still waiting for ... " often or things to that affect. But what I did like was the taste of the food. It was really good and reasonably priced. The people were friendly and the restaurant had space in it and not cramped like some places can be. Parking might be a problem during the year on busy Saturday nights, but this one - straight after Christmas - parking was easy.
Would I recommend coming here to eat? Yes, I would. And I look forward to coming back again, maybe in winter.
Our go-to Indian - we will always drive here to get the following: butter chicken, jeera rice, dal makhni, and cheese and spinach naan. Only place that even does cheese & spinach naan! Just soooooo yummy
Great food, great ambiance, amazing hospitality. This place has the best authentic chicken momos

Not too many options to choose for a last-minute plan, Aagman topped the list as most of the restaurants shut by 9.00pm.
Already famished after tiring Saturday spent with filing our taxes, paying our bills and putting the final itinerary in place for our 10 days trip that starts on the 27th September, we ordered our food that comprised of Rice, Naan, Malekhu Fish Tikka, Chettinad Chicken, Gulmeyley Lamb Curry.
At 9.00pm it was very crowded and we were sure that the food would either be awesome or Bad.
Gulmeley Lamb was easily the Dish of the Day. Perfectly cooked and flavored.
Chicken Chettinad definitely was tasty but tasted more like a mild version of butter chicken than chicken chettinad...Nevertheless, totally enjoyed it.
The fish tika was perfectly spiced and.grillwd minus the color...Which was such a relief.
Over-all we loved the food here, and definitely the complimentary papad basket.
What we would have ideally liked is a bit of cleanliness after the customers have made a mess of this place.
Plenty to choose for Vegans and Vegetarians. Easy on pocket and very warm and friendly staff. And too our surprise they are a part of Gold Offer too.
It's perfect time for any South Asia Restaurant to be noticed as Melbourne is more open to experiment than usual and.Aagman has the making of making it big but it gives-in to the usual instead of tapping it's potential.
Amazing food. Must visit for tasty indian food.
Fab service and hospitality.
Will visit again soon.

We made a last minute booking to take our parents out for Indian dinner and ended upat Aagman. Frankly I had never heard of the place and neither had the 3 friends I called to get a review so we decided to wing it. I have to say it was hands down one of the best Indian food I have had in Melbourne.
Ambience - 5/5 - Low mood light but they had fancy table lamps which I was personally very fascinated with! There's a bar in the middle of the restaurant which adds a character to the place.
Service - 10/5 - Our server Jags was a great example of what hospitality should be about. He checked in with us throughout our meal whilst not overcrowding us. I reckon we enjoyed our meal more due to this perfection of service displayed by Jags. Everything was on-point from the cutlery placement to serving meals. Special shoutout.
Drinks - We had the Barossa shiraz and were quite surprised how cheap the prices were (wohoo!).
Food - We ordered the below -
Veg tandoori platter - 4.5/5 - Assortment of veg entree, the paneer was succulent and the cauliflower roasted well. Samosa was quite a big size which was generous. Everything was cooked nicely but I would have liked a bit more tangy flavour in there. Something simple like chaat masala on top would have hit the right spot for me!
Fig Kofta - 4.5/5 - The gravy was amazing and the concept of fig kofta quite good. One of our koftas was a bit hard but the other one was fine. Overall a great veg dish.
Kadhai Paneer - 5/5 - Slightly different colour than we are used to but that didn't affect the flavours. They did not go stingy on paneer like some of the other places do!
Chettinad Chicken - 4.5/5 - Well cooked chicken with a yummy gravy. We had asked for it to be cooked hot but I thought it was medium. My family liked it but I prefer more spicy. This is something quite common in Indian restaurants in Melbourne but maybe I will be more clear in my order next time!
Khukuri Chicken - 5/5 - Cooked in rum, what's there to complain:)
We had an assortment of breads & rice everything cooked perfectly. Phew hats off to the Chef!
Value for money? Yes definitely.
I would go back again but this time on a weekend to see if they can maintain the consistency on a busy night.
Very nice place to dine in. Staff were very polite and friendly. More importantly, the food is good. Highly recommended for any occasion or events.
Dined at aagaman last night because it was just down the road. We were pleasantly surprise with the yummy food, and tasty mango lassi, as well as wine from the Barossa Valley at a cheap price by the glass. The portion sizes were decent, and the atmosphere was great. Rating this place 4.4 stars, so rounding up to 5. Would come here again for dinner. It's easy on the pocket.
Delicious and reasonably priced curry dishes and roti tasted amazing too. Love how you can choose the spice level for most dishes and not to mention the great service. A local gem worth trying !
Came here with a group of friends, the garlic naan is one of the best I’ve had and not too expensive. Id be happy to just eat that. We also has the chicken tikka entree, amazing soft chicken. The Himalayan goat curry, again really good. The service was also top notch.
We visited Aagaman Restaurant located in Bay Street Port Melbourne for a Saturday lunch. We started with a couple of drinks, Nepal Ice Lager and a Passionfruit & Chilli Martini. The Lager was served in a tall glass, great size! The Martini was so tasty. A lovely passionfruit and orange flavour with a great kick of chilli. We couldn’t decide on what to order so we went with the Aagaman Ko Bhoj which is $54.90 per person.
There was a great selection of entrees, mains and a wonderful dessert to finish off the delicious dishes. Each dish had wonderful flavours and complimented each other. The basket of breads were go good and a must to soak in the delicious sauces.
We thank Aagaman for having us. We experienced Aagaman Restaurant as guests, and all of our opinions are genuine and are based on our experience at the time of our visit.
Very nice Indian/Nepalese restaurant. Atmosphere in this place was very pleasant and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely divine and I cannot wait to go back and try the other curries and dishes on the menu! Definitely recommend it 100%!
Really excellent meal. Good food. Lovely staff. Elegant restaurant. Recommended by a friend, so glad they did. Chicken momos were so tasty and unique. Cheese and spinach naan was so good I wish I could eat one every day. Will be back.

The restaurent was like any other indian rest in melbourne. The staff is extremely polite and serves you with a smile always. All dishes are good , except that, for indians who are adapted to that extreme spice level you wont feel the spice in the dishes.
Went on a Sunday evening and the place was packed! Really enjoyed the drinks, garlic naan and the pani puri 😊
Excellent! Really delicious Nepali and Indian. The chicken momos and achar were awesome. Very tasty main dishes. Friendly welcoming service. A special find. Will definitely come again.
