Not worth the hype. Food did not meet the expectations. Too loud ambiance. Service was slow when compared to Michelin level

Enjoyed the exceptional service and some of the dishes in the Chef's Tasting Menu. Dishes lacked the creativity and presentation we were expecting given the Michelin rating. Would have loved the food to have been served hot and a little more attention to detail like not sending out cracked pani-puris that leaked. The shrimp dumplings were a favorite but the scallops were a big dud. The main course (Duck) was good but served with cold rice and dal makhani. Cocktails were great. Will probably try the four-course options next time as they seemed more interesting.

Dining at Rania was an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely delicious—refined Indian cuisine with creative fusion elements that elevate traditional flavors in a really thoughtful way. Every dish felt carefully crafted, with bold spices balanced by modern techniques and beautiful presentation. It's easy to see why this Michelin-recognized restaurant has earned such a strong reputation. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the staff did a great job explaining the dishes and guiding the meal. The atmosphere also strikes a nice balance between upscale and comfortable, making it perfect for a special night out. If you enjoy Indian food and want to experience it at a higher, more innovative level, Rania is definitely worth a visit. 🌟

The food here is amazing and so is the careful attention to service. You are never rushed. We ate in the Passage to India room and had the 4 course dinner - each dish was so good and it was more than enough food. I'm already thinking of when we can go back.

This restaurant was amazing! The flavor profile of the meals were amazing. Each bite left me wanting me more. I cant wait to go back!

Food was above average, but the service and attention to detail was lacking. Without a wine pairing, there are multiple other Indian restaurants worth a visit. There were a couple special dishes. However, not enough to warrant more than one visit.
James
Pros: Creative, delicious dishes with generous portions. Cons: Service was adequate but not memorable, especially for a Michelin star. The open layout makes it fairly loud, which detracts from conversation. Drinks were presented well, but were nothing special. A fun date spot overall, but not ideal if you're looking for intimacy or standout service at this price.

We had their 4 course option, the first two items on the courses are vegetarian and very delicious. The portions were GREAT, the people were very accommodating and thoughtful, they also answered all my questions about the food like “hey how do i eat this”. I can not wait to go back.
Vivek
Food was so refined and bespoke as to render it unrecognizable. Great flavors but with no basis in known dishes, the mystery made the meal feel overly experimental and less enjoyable.

Incredible experience. I had the Chef's Tasting menu with my partner and it was one of the best food experiences that we have had at any restaurant. Each dish was incredibly put together and beautifully presented. The flavors were unreal and each dish had us saying just send us more of that, until the next dish came. The cocktails were just as beautifully presented as the food and were exceptional. The service was top notch and we absolutely will be returning.
Had a wonderful time celebrating my partner's birthday! The service was fantastic and the food was amazing.

Although listed as an "Indian" restaurant, it is really more of a "world food" restaurant. Seafood from Northern Japan, Kebob from Middle East, etc. Food was mildly spicey but not as hot as much Indian food and little on the tasting menu shouted "Indian". The drinks were creatively served (unbelievable showmanship), the service was excellent but not intrusive. Overall, a very good experience.

My recent visit to Rania was an exceptional dining experience that showcased why this restaurant has earned its reputation. We opted for the three-course meal restaurant week meal, and from the moment our first dish arrived until we finished dessert, everything was simply incredible. The quality of the food was outstanding – each course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The service during dinner was attentive and professional, exactly what you'd hope for at this caliber of establishment. The wine pairings complemented our meal perfectly, elevating each course and demonstrating real expertise in their selections. However, our experience took a slight turn when we moved to the bar after dinner for an additional glass of wine. The service there was noticeably lacking – we struggled to get attention from staff, which felt like quite a contrast from the excellent service we'd received during dinner. Additionally, I found the wine list at the bar to be somewhat disappointing and more limited than expected. Despite the bar service falling short, my overall experience was excellent. The dining room experience alone makes Rania worth visiting. If you're considering going, definitely make a reservation for the full meal – the food is absolutely delicious and shouldn't be missed.

The first courses of the chef's tasting menu were great, but I didn't like the main entree and took a very long time to arrive after we finished the previous course, also the last dessert course was underwhelming and was trying to rely on the break the top shell gimmick
