Amazing food and great experience at Rangoli Indian Cuisine! We tried the Gobi Manchurian, and it was absolutely delicious. The Masala Dosa was fantastic—crispy and flavorful—and they even served a variety of condiments on the side, all of which tasted amazing. Everything we ordered was just perfect. The food was too good, and we will definitely be coming back
We visited Rangoli for their unlimited dosa offer and overall had a great experience. The food was delicious the dosas were fresh and crispy, the chutneys were flavorful, and the lassi was excellent. The ambiance was nice and made for a pleasant dining atmosphere. There was a bit of a delay in service, but given how busy it was and the high demand for the promotion, it’s completely understandable. The staff was doing their best despite being short-handed, and we appreciate their effort in managing the crowd. We’ll definitely be back again just maybe at a less peak time! Worth a visit if you’re a fan of South Indian food.
Very flavorful Indian food in a comfy diner setting. Noticed Rangoli opened a few months back so wandered over for lunch on Sunday with my daughter and we were very happy. Very tasty food with savory, complex flavors. She ordered the fish curry: deep complex flavors and great, well cook chunks of fish. I tried the chicken vindaloo (received the expected “this is hot” confirmation from the server): good level of spicy and flavor with lots of chicken in the bowl despite initial appearances! We shared garlic naan (good) and onion bhajee (amazing!) and she really liked the lassi. Portion size was large - we brought home decent amount of left-overs. Service was fine and polite - maybe could have been a little more engaging? Food was delivered quickly Surroundings are like a diner with cushions, plants and Indian-themed art to add a comfy vibe. Having enjoyed all the food and seeing the large menu, definitely planning to be back and sample more (although another curry and onion bhajee will likely be re-ordered)!
Absolutely breathtaking, more than ever! The quality, freshness and flavors through the incredible seasoning is unmatched in the City of Chicago! Thank you for the hardworking staff and Chef kiss! Lamb chops were amazing!!
solid food with very nice staff and a cute enough space conveniently right down the street from my apartment. Lakeview in general suffers from a lack of Indian food options, so it's great to see this open up and Cumin (Indian/Nepalese) coming later this year. we started with the pav bhaji and then had some garlic naan with the kashmiri pulav rice that was so very good, along with two of the typical chicken dishes and took some gulab jamun to go (my fav Indian dessert!). excited to go back and have some more non-standard options on the menu.
Everything we ordered here was tasty and the service was friendly and attentive. The staff really seem to care about the food and have been helpful with suggestions. I’ve now been back to try more dishes and they continue to impress. This place feels kind of special, I love a place that seems to have heart and I think this is one of those places. My favorites are the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, the kashmiri pulav, and the gobi manchurian. The kashmiri pulav has a really nice savory sweetness to it. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are just great versions of these dishes that are so rich and creamy I just want to keep eating them. The gobi manchurian (fried cauliflower with a sweet nan spicy sauce) is extraordinary. One of the best cauliflower dishes I’ve ever had. I’d also highly recommend trying the dosa. I’ve tried the karam ghee dosa and it was very very good. The dosa bread is massive and is wonderfully crunchy and bready. The items to dip in were also all very tasty (I don’t remember them all). We also tried the onion bhajee, pav bhaji, chicken korma, and the gulab jamun, which were all tasty as well.
Great Indian food with really friendly staff! We came as a group to celebrate Diwali and had a great time trying the kebabs, chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, and yellow dahl! All the food came out pretty quickly and the food was delicious! They also brought us some free dessert after which was super sweet of them!
Stopped in for dinner after work when I saw they had finally opened! This place is sorely needed on that stretch of Belmont which is well traveled but filled with corporate food options. This place is delicious, friendly, family-owned, and affordable all while serving amazing authentic Indian food. I am so happy that this opened near me and will definitely be back for more! I wish them the best luck with the business.
