Reviews for Rangoli: Vibrant Flavors Of India in Philadelphia, PA

This is by far the best Indian food in the NE. Coming from a family that owns Indian restaurants, Rangoli is doing it right.... They don?t hold back on flavor or spice. Not overly oily, just simply delicious. We got the chicken korma, malai kufta, andchili chicken. I?m very impressed since most places in the northeast Americanize food way too much. If you?re going to eatIndian food it better have some heat and taste or what?s the point? Read more

People, decor, music, and food delightful! Flavors delicate to spicy and enchanting. Even the rice is special. Highly... recommend! Read more

Authentic Indian cuisine. The restaurant is quite simple, but they boost the place up with vibrant colours and Indian music. The... food is really good. A pity there weren?t more customers during lunch, would have livened the place up. Read more

I typically go there once in a while cuz I love there chicken masala. I'm always treated kindly and the food comes out promptly... soon after ordering. Nothing but positive experience for me. The server/ register person is very kind. Read more

I usually have a 5 star experience from here but today was 2 star. We were delivered flavored oil

Food was very good and flavorful. The goat biryani was fresh hot when I picked it up. The vindaloo was not just spicy but full... of flavor. I have no complaints about eating here again. Read more

This place is getting a 5 star bump from me. As of writing this review it's the best Indian I've had in the Northeast and maybe... the best in all of Philly. The food was delicious, I really loved the lamb vindaloo, samosa and garlic naan. This place wasempty when we ate here and that's why I'm giving them 5 stars. Is it the best Indian food I've ever had? No but this is reallygood for the area and I'd honestly like to see more people eat in. It's a nice looking space that feels appropriately decorated,and very clean (a rarity in the NE). My only complaint is that the chicken in the Tikka had no char so it made me doubt that itwas cooked in an actual tandoori oven, I love the flavor a little bit of char brings to Indian chicken dishes. That said thelamb was cooked perfectly. My other complaints are knit-picky but I think the menu is too large in the sense there are a lot ofredundancy. I think large menus are intimidating to new customers and that instead of listing chicken, lamb, goat, shrimpvindaloo you should just list vindaloo and have the meats under it. This could be done for a number of dishes and cut the menusize down which in turn is less intimidating. If also cut out all non-indian dishes. I know it's a trend for Asian restaurantsto serve various food from other Asian cultures but it bothers me. I hate sitting down at a Japanese restaurant and seeinggeneral tso and I hate seeing sushi on a Chinese places menu. When I saw spring rolls on the menu here I almost left, glad Ididn't but it makes me feel like a restaurant isn't committed to the authenticity of their cuisine. All in all the food wasgreat and I will be back. I hope the quality stays high and if any changes need to occurr it's minimizing the menu (but don'tdrop the lamb!) and dropping irrelevant dishes.
