We had a wonderful dinner. We enjoyed the tasting menu. Every dish was full of flavor. The dishes had a little spice but nothing overbearing. The drinks are refreshing and come with a nice presentation.
This was our first time at Rania celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, the food and service were spectacular! The flavor/spices were amazing throughout each course, and presentation was top tier. We will definitely be back again!
For a meal bursting with flavors where you will go "Yum" or "Wow!" with every bite, try this wonderful Indian restaurant that will give you a whole new understanding of Indian food.

The modern creativity expressed here is certainly deserving of the Michelin star they have. We had 8 different dishes/tastes plus an amuse bouche and all were impressive. Rania also has an excellent wine list and a group of house conceived cocktails that are unique. Service was knowledgeable and timely throughout. Can't wait to return!

Food and service was outstanding. It was the perfect place to have a special dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. The only nitpick is there are no sound buffers so it can be very loud and hard to have a conversation at times.

Amazing food - we love Indian food and this is one of the best Indian meals we've had in a while. Food and service are exceptional. They also have great and creative cocktails.

The experience was extremely enjoyable, the presentation of the food, the creation, serving and presentation of drinks was quite creative, some dishes could have been better in the third course; the best was the second course. Definitely worth the money, cannot wait to visit next time to try out other dishes and drinks.

Worthy and deserving of the Michelin star. Made the mistake of taking a few with me who live off of chicken tenders and pizza, who felt out of place anywhere without ketchup on the table, and even they were amazed. Would definitely return. Everything was brilliant, intensely flavorful, and next time, I'll go alone. Much love.

Absolutely amazing experience. From the moment you walk in until you leave, you will be enjoying yourself. With impeccable service, attention to detail, and an impressive variety of flavors, you will be happy dining in and spending an evening at Rania. Highly recommend, and will be going back for sure.

The food and service at this newly Michelin starred restaurant is definitely worth a visit. As a bonafide super white lady, I was worried that the Indian spices might be too much for me, but was so pleased that flavor and heat aren't one and the same here. Yes, there was spice, but it was intentional and nuanced with other delightful flavors. I did a wine pairing that was charming, but the stars of the beverage show are definitely their cocktail selections. As a single diner, I appreciated being seated along a banquet in the main dining area and enjoyed the decor. The chairs with shelves for handbags were a thoughtful touch. Bathrooms are convenient and well maintained. I will note that the volume of the dining room (7:30pm reservation on a Friday) was a robust 107 decibels. At times I had difficulty hearing my server and the sommelier. I can't imagine the difficulty nearby couples had maintaining a conversation without shouting. Also of note, I had a drink at the bar before my dinner seating. Definitely consider doing this as the cocktails have exciting presentation and fun ingredients. However, as a person of size, the bar seats were not large enough for me to sit in comfortable. Think about your comfort before planning to eat at the bar.
A superb update/upgrade to Indian cuisine! Clearly layers flavors with just the right degree of heat. Obviously deserving of its Michelin star and possibly on track for another. Our only concern or discomfort was the very loud noise level supported by a driving bass note in the music which was otherwise overcome but ambient noise. While the decor was lovely, the addition of some softer surfaces for noise abatement wpould be welcome.

Really bad food. Not sure how Michelin star works but i have eaten to many places and this was the most pathetic indian food ever in my life. Spoiled my anniversary dinner evening totally.
Fantastic experience!! As someone who has grown up on Indian food his entire life, seeing an elevation on classic dishes from presentation and depth of flavor, is always welcome! The wine pairings were on point!! Jotish was a gracious host, handling our every request. Be sure you select the Parsi Chicken as one of your courses - it may be the most underrated on that menu, but the flavor — fabulous! Oh and that dal makhani — ?? — dynamite!!

We went for my husband's birthday last Saturday. It was a very comfortable atmosphere, the food was great and the price point for a Michelin Star establishment is considerably cheap! However, where they really shine is their cocktails! Every single one is a show! You know how when you go to a mexican restaurant and a staff member walks through with fajitas and everyone watches as it goes by?? Yeah, that's this place with the drinks! ? We would return without hesitation!

Food was good, but not as good as I expected. Service was very good, but a bit impersonal, and we felt rushed through dinner. The food was somewhat underwhelming and not as flavorful as I would have expected from a high-end Indian restaurant. We went during restaurant week, so it may be better during a regular night. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the drinks were outstanding.
