Rania

"Extravagant interior design, feels rich and elegant inside. Love the black and gold touches. Visiting the bathroom in itself was an experience with the design. Service was stellar, the wait staff was attentive and each meal came out quickly. Enough staff present who always made sure our table was clean and waters full. Big fan of not having to wait on food to come out, especially when your parking meter has a limit on it. Cocktails were brought out in a very creative manner, have your phones ready to capture the moment! Lots of food and each plate was scrumptious! A modern take on Indian cuisine for sure!"

"Fantastic four course experience during my first time at Rania. Drinks included the Rang Birange (in the chest) as well as a wine pairing. 1st course - Chicken Kofta - A great start to the meal and beautiful presentation 2nd course - North Point Oysters - A unique and delectable take on oysters. Highly recommended for oyster fans looking for something different. 3rd course - Lobster with Caviar - I do not remember the specific name here as it was a special offering not on the listed menu. Fantastic execution and a must for seafood fans. 4th course - Mishti Doi - The star of the meal and personally one of the best desserts I've ever had, it is reminiscent of a dreamcicle. It was so good I ended up ordering the Keasari Mango and Chocolate Tart, both of which were good but not at the same level as the Mishti Doi. Overall this was a sublime experience, one that fans of fine dining and indian cuisine will likely appreciate greatly."

"The food was exquisite- It definitely was an experience worth having. I just felt like the atmosphere was very dull. It has a lot of potential to be more lively. The shrimp appetizer was my favorite. Dinner was a fixed menu and I paid over $100 per person"

"Went to Rania to celebrate my birthday and we were blown away by the gastronomical delight it turned out to be. Service was truly exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Definitely going back again and again! The menu selection stands out amongst other Indian fares in the DMV region. Only taking one star out of the ambience because it was quite noisy and we would have preferred to have a quieter dinner date."

"This is my favorite restaurant in DC! I have been eating here since they opened and the flavors keep me coming back. These dishes (and cocktails!) are wonderfully delicious and artistic. The restaurant clearly puts a lot of thought and creativity into each dish and drink, and their menu is constantly evolving. Service is fantastic as well, always super helpful and attentive. This place is worth the money (though I will miss their a la carte options now that they've earned a well-deserved Michelin star). The 3-course meal is very filling. Congratulations on your new star!!"
