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
