At Aangan Restaurant & Banquet, Singapore

Our place is located in Raj Nagar, Ghaziabad, right at R-6/199. It’s a spot where we host a lot of local gatherings and family dinners. We have a restaurant area and then a bigger space upstairs for banquets. It gets really busy on weekends when people have weddings or big family celebrations. The kitchen is always loud with the sound of pans and people shouting out orders. We've been part of the Raj Nagar community for a long time now. My brother and I usually handle the front while the cooks do their thing in the back. It’s not a five-star luxury place, but the food is honest and we use fresh ingredients we buy from the market nearby every morning. The name mentions Singapore but we are right here in UP. We have some old chairs that we probably should replace soon, but they are comfortable enough for a long meal. We don't spend money on fancy advertisements or shiny flyers. Most people just walk in or hear about us from their neighbors. On rainy days, the roof over the patio area leaks a tiny bit, so we have to move the tables around quickly. We like seeing the same families come back year after year for their kids' birthday parties. It’s hard work and the hours are definitely long, but we enjoy being part of the local scene. We just try to make sure everyone leaves with a full stomach.
