Aangan Indian Vegetarian restaurant will be forcing Cafe Iguana to change its signs - it is no longer Reading's only vegetarian restaurant.

But what is great is that both restaurants are offering very different foods but are so very close to each other, both being in a long stones throw of the Hexagon.

Aangan menu will be a delight for those of you who have the good fortune to try vegetarian South Indian cooking, and if you've not, be prepared for some tasty discoveries.

We had a good long chat with the owners of Aangan at the Viva Roadshow, and what nice people they are.

It appears the idea for the restaurant came from the needs of the growing number of Indian consultants in the Thames Valley - they were all popping into London to get good South Indian food. Hopefully now they are eating Aangan, along with us.

To ensure their clientèle get what they are accustom to at home, Aangan have brought their chefs from Indian.

As much as I liked the food it was not compensated by the annoyance at being refused to serve tap water.

I am happy to pay a fair price for food as I can appricate the work that goes into it, but where is the added value in charging to serve tap water.

Just had to tell you, went again, and even better, we had such a warm welcome. They recommended certain dishes to try, and they were wonderful, especially a starter which was a crispy cauliflower. They even made us a vegan pudding. A really lovely meal with lovely people.

When we saw on the web site that the Aangan had opened, we just had to go, cancelled other plans and went that very night. We were not disappointed. The decor is modern, spotless,the staff friendly and helpful and the food.... DELICIOUS. South Indian dishes such as Bhel Puris, Dosas and a wonderful chickpea dish with puffed indian bread. Unfortunately there were no vegan puds (not sure I would have been able to fit one in anyway).

I am not sure the waiter that took our order had a clear understanding of what vegan means but the manager certainly did and although we had plently to choose from, he said if we gave them notice, he would be able to do even more! He told me that before they opened he was not sure if going totally veggie was the way to go but business had been so good he now thinks it is. This place is excellent value many dishes at just £4.00. For four of us eating far more than one normally would, because we wanted to try so much, the bill came to just £50 that included drinks.
