Aago

Sophia and I had lunch here at this restaurant which serves Indian and Nepalese food. We've been here twice before which is honestly a shame. The past meals we've had here have been really good and friends of ours enjoyed their selections as well. This time it was just us. Would the third time bring great vibes like before?It was barely packed with people when we walked inside which was totally fine with us. We were seated immediately after walking in. The decor was spotless from the bar to the tables. Within minutes, we were ready to order. My selection was the half order of tandoori chicken at Level 2 spice flavor with garlic naan bread for the both of us and Strawberry lassi for the beverage. (Sophia had the chicken saag dish with Mango lassi.) Everything was truly delicious and well done. Both of us are fans of Indian food and neither one walked away disappointed. I'm a fan of tandoori chicken so this had to be chosen. There was enough rice, sauce and veggie mix to have yours truly full. The naan bread....say no more. The Strawberry lassi wasn't too sweet and full of flavor. Sophia enjoyed her dish as well. There was plenty to take with us for leftovers.A great afternoon for the both of us to have lunch. Like I said, we need to come here more often. If you're in the need for very good cuisine, do stop by :)

It was only my husband and myself: hard-to-please foodies. When the waitress tried to place us in the smallest table, I refused. I pointed at the 4 seaters table, the waitress objected my request. I insisted to sit in a bigger table (4 seaters). She objected again. By this time I was ready to tell my husband to fuck this and let's go to a different restaurant. There is no way our food will fit in this table. We don't just order 1-2 dishes. I was very unhappy, more like upset at this point. It's not like the restaurant is full and there was a line to get tables. I wouldn't insist if that's the case. As I was contemplating hard to just get up and leave, I thought I would try ONE MORE TIME. This time I asked with a cold expression. The short plump waitress asked her boss and we got the 4 seater table. Finally! This immediately gave a bad taste in my mouth. Sure enough, she retaliated by giving me stink eyes the entire time we were dining there. I just responded with the same cold expression. Don't they know customer is king??? The heck! If we are one of those couples who each person order 1 dish and stuff our face with 2 varieties of dish only, she can sit us in the tiniest table. Again, the restaurant was half empty.Overall Rating: 4.5 but since I can't select 0.5 and the short plump curly haired waitress gave me the long face and the stink eye for the entire time dining , I give 4 as the overall rating. Individual Rating:1. Veg Samosa: 4Pretty tasty! However I am not a fan of a mushy filling. The mint and tamarind chutney are delicious! 2. Chili MoMo: 5 spicy level 4I decided to try the Nepalese dumplings. Oh my my! While the fillings taste just good, the chili sauce smeared the dumplings was beyond delicious. The spicy level 4 is perfect for us. 3. Garlic Naan: 5I guess it's not hard to make delicious garlic naans. Yet some restaurants manage to fuck it up. Not this one! We love them. 4. Chicken Vindaloo: 3.5 spicy level 5Now the spicy level 5 for this one is not as spicy as I thought especially after tasting Chili MoMo at level 4. I was worried for nothing. The taste of the vindaloo is a bit too sour and not as balanced as some other Indian restaurants I had before, or when I was in India for work. Still good but not great. 5. Goan Fish Curry: 5 spicy level 4Hum... I must say this is my most favorite one. First time trying a Goan dish and I do love this one! They used salmon. I bet if they use king fish or other Asian fish the taste would be even more amazing. 6. Bindhi Masala: 5 spicy level 3Yum! I am Not a huge okra fan but I do love this dish!

We've found our go-to Indian restaurant. We had the garlic naan, cheese naan, curry(chicken & vegetable), chicken tikka and chicken fried rice. All were PERFECT. I do want to say I wish there was an option to add vegetables to the meat curries on doordash or online ordering, but overall our experience was great.

Amazing food. We tried the veggie pakora, chicken momos, chicken curry; chicken korma, lamb biryani and 3 different naans. All were great. We'll definitely be back.

Food is always excellent! Vibe in the restaurant is good and service is solid. App favorites are the momo and meat plate. Love the tiki masala and butter chicken

Pretty delicious Indian and Nepal food in Newport News. I got a bunch of momos in my appetizer! I got the chicken one. Really love that sauce!I went with the Okra because I haven't had okra in a while. I got it nice and mild. It was actually a pretty large portion to go along with the rice. I'll be honest, that was some of the best naan I've ever had! It was super buttery! I'm really complimented the Okra dish. I intentionally over ordered so I could take leftovers. It also comes with a free bottle of water. Really generous portions. They take credit card and you can pay at the table, which I like! Good place for kids.

Heard high praise of this place from a friend from Nepal and it did not disappoint! When you first walk in, the aroma makes your mouth water instantly. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. They took extra care to make eye contact with my Spanish-speaking grandma while we translated for her, showing that they were speaking directly to her rather than through us which she really appreciated. We tried the chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, and curry chicken, all with a spiciness level of 1/5. The dishes were not spicy at all and we will likely increase the spice level at subsequent visits. The food was delicious and serving sizes were plentiful. Great value overall! Highly recommend

I still love coming here! I do miss the lunch buffet but luckily I have a favorite dish that I can always go to: butter chicken. I had mild, of course, and my husband had Aago biryani that was slightly spicy. Garlic naan is a must. Only thing I skipped this time was my other fave: mango lassi. 5 STARS! Service was decent and food was amazing!

First time trying the dessert and the first time trying the folks masala using paneer instead of protein. Amazing and cream curry with a medium spice level. Just enough to give me a kick but not make my nose run and my eyes water. The desert is dried milk balls served in flavored syrup. Very delicious and not so sweet to where it gives you a headache, but sweet enough.

What used to be white meat Chicken Saag is now dark meat Chicken Saag and it changes the flavor and texture of the meal. Very sad the owner(s) has made the change. Won't be ordering in the future.
