Delicious food served always, we are repeat customers. This time, we were greeted by Naman and he took great care of us. He also allowed to bring our puppy and sit with us since she gets a little nervous being alone. Thank you so much for the great service, Naman. Would highly recommend.

I recently visited Rangeela Ajax, and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience! The ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends or family. The food was exceptional, with a variety of delicious dishes that were well-prepared and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch too – the staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed. I especially loved how the menu had something for everyone. I would highly recommend Rangeela Ajax to anyone looking for great food, a lively atmosphere, and excellent service. I will definitely be coming back!

Food: 7/10 (not worth the price, quantity problem and mild isn’t mild) Drink: 4/10 (so thick I could have it with a spoon) Service: Dirty menu with curry stains, found glass on the chair, floor could’ve been broomed atleast. Half drank bottle on the table with no napkins, literally had to get from another table. Normal courtesy to get rid of the menu from the table for space but our server seemed very busy. Moreover, so loud music server had a hard time listening to my order.

It was my second visit at your restaurant. Firstly we had arranged a birthday party, and it went great. But that time, yesterday we were there for occasional meet up and experience was worse, wasn’t expected. Female server was unable to get what we said, then instead of asking to switch to a regional language - Punjabi at that time, she dictated to talk in Punjabi, like an order; pretty discourteous. If we talk about the food, taste was good but serving size wasn’t correspondent to cost. What was the worst part!!! We hadn’t even finish our dinner, didn’t demand for bill, and she was at the table with the bill and payment machine in her hand to ask for payment!!! What is this? Do you these shitty manners “fine dining”. Kindly train your staff be courteous and get some professionalism.

We dropped in for a quick dinner and were pretty happy with our experience. We got some naan, roti and karahi chicken. While the chicken karahi was excellent in flavour, I just wish there were more chicken pieces in it. Everything else was pretty good. Will visit again to try other items on the menu!

Rangeela is an Indian restaurant in Ajax that I've been wanting try for the longest time so when I was invited to join some fellow foodies for a meal, I couldn't refuse! They're located in a heritage building in Ajax that adds a certain charm to the ambiance. They have several dining areas, including a patio and a second level upstairs, complete with a bar. Their menu is quite extensive and as much as we had, we barely scratched the surface. Everything, however, was quite delicious and very attractively presented. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of all the dishes but trust me when I say they were all very good! So were the cocktails! I'll definitely be back!

I ordered wings, and they turned out to be absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice and tenderness.

First impression very bad as I ordered Veg curry dish and got Non veg curry dish. As per them whole staff is changed. Dishes were also not enough to enjoy.

Only visit if you have enough patience, seriously very bad service, food is delayed and the reason is chef went upstairs and on important call. This is not my first time visit , but every time same answer and the staff simply say sorry sir. Naans were not cooked properly and they took back , in spite of waiting 20 minutes for the second time I got same quality of naans , staff said chef went outside and the assistant made it. I advise the owner, higher only the chef who is available for the customers. Because customer are spending lot of money for the food , Again and again I m saying only visit if u have enough patience.

We recently ordered Hakka food and appetizers, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The fried rice was overwhelmingly salty, making it nearly inedible. Interestingly, my friends had praised the food during their previous visit, which leads me to believe that the quality is inconsistent. Consistency is key for a great dining experience, and sadly, this time it fell short.

The heat wasnt working. No hot water in the washroom. Took over 20 mins for one naan If I could give them a zero I would

I and my wife dined here after a long time. Usually, the food is very spicy. This time, we ordered the Bhagara Baingan(roasted Brinjal curry). We were pleasantly surprised as the dish was not spicy and very tasty. We ended up wiping the dish clean. We got to know that it was the handiwork of their new Chef, Ms. Parneet. Good job! Our host, Ms. Amandeep, was very helpful. On the whole a wonderful evening.

Horrible Experience Avoid Rangeela Restaurant We ve been loyal customers, but after last night s experience, we won t return. My husband picked up fish biryani around 10 PM, which was unbearably salty, inedible, and the fish tasted off. We called at 10:30 PM but got no answer. Today, after multiple attempts, we were met with indifference. One person even hung up on my husband, and others kept saying, The manager isn t available. No action has been taken despite sharing our details. Terrible food and worse customer service. Completely unacceptable!

I had food from here twice, Food is pretty decent. I also do Uber eats on the side, I picked up from here once and I must say the employees are beyond incompetent when it comes to service and common sense. Couple weeks back I came to pick up 2 orders at once. I was made to wait 5 mins and given the first order and told to wait a few more minutes for the second order which is completely understandable, food takes time. I was ok with it until they maid me wait 17 mins (I tracked the time) and the servers totally forgot about the order which was odd cause there were 2 servers working only 2 tables. I approached one of the 2 servers working at the front and she told be to wait another 5 mins. I explained to her that the first order is getting cold (yes I did have a hot bag but still) she apologized and said it will just take a few more minutes. After 10 more minutes passes I get agitated and ask would you like me to cancel the 2nd order cause the first order is going to be waste if I wait any longer that s when the server told me the it will take even longer. Literally waited more than 30 mins just to have to cancel the second order. Wasting not just my time but delaying orders of 2 different customers at the same time. Please train your employees better and teach them to be transparent with customers instead of hiding in the corner using their phones. Noting wrong with food taking long but it s wrong to lie and waste time of people coming to your restaurant

Ordered through their website for a pick up order. Their tracker showed ready for pick up and when I reached there had to wait another 40 minutes while the family waited outside in the cold. Gold stars for timeliness and service!!

One of the worst Indian restaurant I have come across in North America. Pathetic food and the service is terrible. People sitting at the reception are liar and are guided by the owner and management. They will never provide you what you order for. - online order. I have ordered multiple times and each time they just say we will provide credit and they hung up the phone when credit is to be provided. DO NOT VISIT this restaurant.

There were no signs for Halal, I was still confused. Is it halal or not. Restaurant is so hidden, ai was in the same Plaza and it took 30 mins to find out. No visible sign.

Food: 3/10 not worth the price, quantity and taste issue and mild isn t mild and spicy is too spicy. Service: I recently visited and, unfortunately, my experience was below expectations. Our server forgot parts of our order twice, which made us feel like there wasn t much attention to detail or care in the service. It seemed as though they were not very interested in ensuring a good experience for us

The chilli chicken did not taste fresh. We asked for an specific item if it was available but the server didn t update us until we had to ask again. Later we asked for second round of drinks and the server didn t bring us for 10 mins. Eventually we had to ask for it again !!

EXTREMELY BAD EXPERIENCE! NEED A LOT OF WORK ON SERVING ETIQUETTE. UNNECESSARY AND UNACCEPTABLE ATTITUDE FROM THE SERVER START TO FINISH. The ambience was cozy and music was soft. We liked it! When we ordered, the server cleared the existing plates and brought dinner plates to the table. Instead of placing them properly in front of each person, she stacked all the plates together and left them for us to sort out. She did not provide spoons or forks, nor did she make an effort to set the table properly. This complete lack of serving etiquette was both surprising and frustrating. When our food arrived, there were no serving spoons included, which is a basic requirement. Upon bringing this up, the server responded with an unnecessary attitude, making us feel like our concerns were unwelcome. We had ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, including a mutton dish, and requested lachha onions and mint-coriander chutney on the side. While we understand these items may not come standard with the dish, the way the server handled the situation was unprofessional. She informed us, with a dismissive tone, that these would cost extra. We agreed to pay, but instead of handling it gracefully, she maintained a poor attitude and made the interaction uncomfortable. Also food could have been better, wouldn t recommend Rangeela to anyone. There are a lot of good Indian restaurants in Durham region who provide authentic taste and cooking technique.
