"I visited this restaurant in Kitchener while visiting a friend, and the customer service was absolutely fantastic! We ordered the Mutton Ghee Roast Biryani and the Maharaja Mutton Biryani (you should definitely add this to your menu officially). Both dishes were so delicious and flavorful. Every time I’m in Kitchener, I’ll make sure to visit this place again!"

A great experience. First visit done well. This place was on my bucketlist since a long time. Ordered chilli paneer, chicken momos (tandoori& manchurian), dahi puri. Loved all four of them✨Will reccommend this place for a restaurant experience in downtown. On weekends there is also live music. The place is gloomy during afternoons but has a great atmosphere in evenings and night.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Kitchener Downtown with the best dining experience. We ordered crispy corn, paneer tikka kebabs for appetizers and they're too good to savour. Crispy corn is something you just cannot miss!! If you are ordering Daal tadka, make sure to ask for medium spicy as we had some unusual experience and it was extremely spicy but the staff was cooperative and helped quickly. If you're looking for street style noodles just like in India, don't miss out on their Hakka noodles!! 🤌 Do try their cocktails and mocktails, you'd love how funny they've named them. They taste good too!! On weekends, they've live music followed by DJ, so if you got plans, don't miss this place for a lively experience. Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 4/5

Craving desi cuisine with an international twist? Rangeela has you covered in both, Ajax and Kitchener! I recently had the pleasure of visiting their newly opened Kitchener location (146 King St W Kitchener ON N2G 1A6), and was thoroughly impressed with their fusion of traditional flavors with innovative twists. Hoping to try a variety of dishes to fulfil my chicken cravings, I sampled the spicy Chicken 65, the fragrant chicken biryani, the succulent chicken malai tikka and 2 crispy kebabs - the chicken tangdi and the chicken tikka. The indulgent chicken feast was made only better with a delightful kothu paratha that was mixed in with vegetables and eggs along with an aromatic spice blend. With a side of crispy corn, the feast was one worthy of royalty and left me craving more! With attentive service and a menu that promises both authenticity and creativity, Rangeela is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful journey through the diverse and rich flavors of Indian cuisine. Should you find yourself in either Ajax or Kitchener, a visit here will leave you fully satisfied - highly recommended!

Amazing place with an outstanding South East Indian bar & grill vibes !!! With a tons of variety of options to choose from!!! Their biryanis are the best !!! Must try is the chicken dum biryani!!! Warm & welcoming staff, quick service!!! The only peak point is to find a parking spot as it is so tight in downtown Kitchener so I highly recommend leaving 10-15 mins early in-order to find a busy parking in the middle of downtown Kitchener!!

Edit: Updating my rating, as it seems like the restaurant is not able to handle scale and resorted to shortcuts and serving stale food for delivery. Disappointing! Based on my experience ordering food for delivery through Doordash where I was served dry as wood log pieces of tandoori chicken kebab and laughable qty (4pcs for $20). Finally a restaurant in Kitchener with a good setup, live music and nice interior (some scuffs here and there but fine dining feel) and food that actually tastes authentic and tasty. Kudos for opening this place in DT Kitchener and helping revive the business in the area. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. I look forward to trying the whole menu and picking up my favorites in my subsequent trips now.

I ordered two Chicken 65 Biryani on Saturday, December 7th, 2024, through UberEats. Unfortunately, the quality was disappointing this time. There were only a few pieces of chicken, and the container was mostly filled with masala, which made it hard to enjoy. Even after managing to eat half, both of us ended up feeling sick . It was a very bad experience, especially since the last time I ordered from the same place was great. Disappointed this time! Saw their add in insta thought of sharing it here ..

Rangeela never disappoints. The food here is absolutely to die for. My guy Yashwant recommended the 555 appetizer, and it was incredible. The street-style fried rice instantly transports you back to India. And the biryanis? Theyre simply unmatched. You cant find a single reason to complain about the food they serve. Honestly, I feel like even if they just boiled water and served it, it would taste amazing. As a nice touch, they gave us a complimentary Mango Delight since it was one of our friends birthdays, and it was delightful. If I had one last wish before I died, it would be to have a meal at this place.

November 22, 2024

The servers completely neglected our requests, we asked for not too spicy, the food came out very spicy, we couldn t even finish and when we told our server, his response was I forgot to tell the kitchen. No compensation, they didn t even apologize. Wouldn t recommend

Went to Rangeela for a work lunch. Food was good (nom veg lunch curry combo), lots of things to pick from on the menu. Price was good for lunch menu. It took about 50 mins to get the foot but we went when they opened and had a group of 9. it was worth the wait. Vegetarian options: All dishes come in vegetarian option Dietary restrictions: Good meat and vegetarian opens to pick from

I have ordered a few times and not once have they been on time. Today I ordered by Uber eats and the food prep time kept getting extended so I contacted the Uber driver who was apologetic and said he could wait no longer. I understood and decided to walk with my dog to pick up the order instead. It was still not ready. The food tastes good but there was less than 8 pieces of vegetables in the dish I ordered. The front staff was kind but I will not order from them again. 3 strikes!!!

I dont like writing negative reviews because I want a thriving and variety-filled food scene in the region. The food was very good here and the atmosphere has a good vibe. However, the service is terrible. I ate there last night and for the first time in my life, I didnt leave any tip. It started when they brought one menu to our table of two. They were slow to get back to us even though there were only 2 other tables in the entire restaurant at the time. Lots of talking and hanging out by the bar by staff. Finally took our order...we order one app, a drink and 2 entrees and a bowl of rice. Waited about 20 minutes before our one of our entrees arrived. The second arrived 5 mins later along with a basket of naan. No rice in sight so we started with the naan and waited and waited. Finally we flagged down another waitress (our original waitress was nowhere to be found and if we did see her she looked busy by the bar but still only 3 tables in the restaurant. This waitress went and brought my drink and said she was sorry and would bring the rice. We waited for another 10 minutes and watched them both scurrying around but no rice. My partner had to go the bar and ask for it. They finally brought it over 5 mins later. By that time most of our food was gone and the remaining food was getting cold. We had to flag her down 15 mins later for the bill. She arrived with a payment terminal but no hardcopy receipt. I didnt get to see the itemized breakdown but I didnt care because I just wanted to get out of there and for the first time ever, I left no tip. These two waitresses seem nice but they have no idea what theyre doing and no sense of the order and flow of serving. This is my second time dining there and the first was with a group and we experienced the same thing with the waitress who served us last night. Its a shame because the food is very good but theyre not going to last until they address the service issues and either bring in serving staff with experience or train their current staff properly. I want them to succeed but sadly, I wont risk dining there again.

Worst experience. We ordered Dum ka paneer and it was over over spicy. We requested to replace but they gave us same after adding sugar into it. Finally after such a horrible experience we returned the curry. Best part was they charged the curry in the bill and rather apologizing the mistake, one of the owner started investigating the matter. After few minutes and arguments, I paid and just came out. Horrible experience. I know you are going to restaurants to enjoy but think and choose wisely.

I had brunch at Rangeela today and tried the sambar idli, plain dosa, and ginger tea. Unfortunately, the sambar and idli could be improved, and the dosa was also underwhelming. The ginger tea was neither good nor hot enough. The service was okay, and the ambiance was really nice. I havent tried other main course items or non-vegetarian dishes, but based on my experience with the south Indian tiffins, the idli, dosa, and tea could be much better in taste. If youre planning to have sambar idli, dosa, and ginger tea, keep your expectations low. I wouldnt recommend these three items. Additionally, the water glasses were not clean and appeared dirty. They should focus more on cleanliness. Vegetarian options: Plain Dosa, Sambar Idle, and Ginger Tea

August 22, 2024

We ordered two different dosa and they gave one different dosa which I ordered and they also take that charges into bill so I pay extra 14$, and sambhar was extremely cold in dine in order.

Terrible Customer service by the receptionist or the waitress! Very arrogant. Food showed it was ready for pick up and after reaching there made us wait 20 minutes. Despite choosing we wanted utensils the receptionist was rude and asking again if I requested utensils!

Their bhatures were unique, they were like triangular pockets. They were fresh, fluffy and nicely done. Chhole were great. My 10yo son really enjoyed their take on bhaturas. Overall taste was good.

Amazing ambience and food. Lemon pepper chicken and Ghee roast biryani are awesome. Their food quantity is more than what we expected. One of our friend is vegetarian for him we ordered paneer biryani and its taste was authentic. I usually don t prefer to eat vegetarian but the gobi Manchuria and crispy corn were super tasty. It took them time to bring the order but overall we were satisfied with the taste of food. Would definitely come back to try other authentic items on menu. Parking: Parking available at the front of the store and as my friends could not get a spot front staff suggested to park at the Shoppers plaza behind the restaurant.

This place the to go for students, friends, family, team lunch or dinners, couples, and any individual who wants to have a quality time, great food in downtown Kitchener with cozy ambience. They also have party room which is ideal for small gatherings, private birthday parties, celebrations. This place is my go to because of the finger licking food, customizable drinks, and their amazing service. No matter how hectic the restaurant is and so much of fuzz going on around the front, the service is always polite and with a smile. Adding on they also have breathtaking DJ nights going on, pleasant live music, open mic during the weekends. Recently they opened their patio area which is special to me as I feel it is the Me Time enjoying the nature, food, drinks and conversations with my people who joined me to have food. Kudos to the owners, management and the staff in maintaining the quality since the start. Hoping to have the similar experiences during every visit.

They use same rice for all biriyanis, not sure how they are preserving neat, had food poisoning for my kids and had vomtings and stomach ache. .also biryanis are not spicy and taste less. Not even they give any spicy gravy along with food to add. I don t recommend this who really loves Indian Hyderabad Style foods.

I went gathering with my friends. We were all very hungry and ordered the curry, which the waiter suggested and was the most popular dish. The curry had too many curry leaves, and each of us had more than two spoonfuls of curry leaves, with many left in the kadhai. We asked them why it was like that, and they just said they didnt know and apologized. We were very disappointed that they didnt even try to make it up to us. We had planned to try some biryani and sweets, but after this, we rushed to Flame Bar and Grill. We cant go somewhere that is not reliable at all.

Rangeela has a Jekyll & Hyde situation going on. Their food is amazing. We love their Cherry Tomato Kaju Curry and Bread Basket, and while the Samosa Chaat is not the usual way it s made, it has been unique enough for us to have a couple of times. Their drinks are not bad, but not extraordinary either. However, their service is a mess and they need to do a better job training their staff. 3 of the 5 times we ve been there, the service was just bad: the servers were rude, unhelpful, and kept getting stuff wrong. The other 2 times, we lucked out with a really nice server and had an amazing experience. We go there because the food is amazing and it s walking distance, but if there was another restaurant with equally great food and better service, we d probably stop.

The Chief and staff provided an exceptional dining experience with their professionalism and warm hospitality. Their attentiveness and expert recommendations truly enhanced our meal. The Tangdi Kabab was a delightful culinary masterpiece, with perfectly marinated and tender chicken bursting with rich, smoky flavors. This dish is a must-try and a testament to the Chiefs incredible skill and passion for great food.

Food was amazing in addition to Mohini s incredible service and the Bollywood songs running in the background. An improvement that Rangeela could make to increase the number of customers eating from their restaurant would be to put signs outside the restaurant to highlight the standout dishes and the name of the restaurant. It can get harder for people to look up to the see the restaurant s name and much easier if something closer to the ground can catch people s attention. Vegetarian options: Masala Dosa and Cheese Masala Dosa

As soon as i got home(5mins) i open it to eat, it s soo cold and the worst thing it smells so bad , literally some days old frozen momo, they just warmed it up and gave it to me. I really hope this thing should be considered in the near future. Really not happy with it. Very disappointing.

We loved everything in Rangeela, food, staff, music and service.Best Indian food in Kitchener and Waterloo. Mohini not only served but suggested to try their south Indian delicacies also. We ordered dosas and north indian dishes, and they were equally delicious. Its a must try place. It would be great to have a menu board placed outside the restaurant so that more people can get an idea about the place. Thanks Mohini for your lovely service and much appreciation to the chef for lovely food.

Although the food we ordered did taste pretty good, we were really disappointed in what happened when we ate here. My husband is anaphylactic to peanuts and we asked the servers not to let anything with peanut come in touch with the food. They assured us that there were no peanuts. Now, we have gone out for Indian food at other restaurants MANY times before and have never had a reaction to Indian before. We ordered the Tikka Masala and Delhi Butter Chicken and my husband ended up having to run out of the restaurant to our hotel to get an Epi-pen. It was a really bad reaction and he ended up needing two. Very disappointed that we were assured the food did not come in contact with peanut. They did tell us they use cashews but didn t say if the cashews had traces of peanut in them, because typically cashews are totally fine.

This is located in the centre of the city. I have tried twice here. The first time was really good and tasty. But 2nd time was not as expected. Lemon Pepper chicken was tasty and the briyani wasnt good and the essence of the cloves was very high. They might have to look at this. The waitresses were friendly and good. You can go here if you like to eat south Indian foods

May 22, 2024

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience. My friends and I ordered food through Uber Eats at around 11 PM. After an hour of waiting, I received a call from the restaurant. The person on the phone explained that they had given our order to the Uber Eats delivery person, but he apparently handed it to the wrong person. They informed us that the restaurant was closed and they couldnt offer any further assistance. However, when I checked the Uber Eats app to track the delivery, it showed that the delivery person was still at the restaurant and hadnt even started travelling to my location. This discrepancy between the restaurants explanation and the tracking information was confusing and incredibly frustrating. The customer service was extremely poor, and the overall experience was quite disappointing

I have already visited this place more than two times and it does not disappoint. Although during my last visit the food was not upto the mark. The Chilli Mushroom i had the previous time and this time were way different, last time around they were spicier and more flavourful compared to my recent visit. I am someone who likes the food really spicy, so it was not what i had got served the previous time i visited. But that is okay, overall, it is a great place to go with your friends and family. The vibe is lively, on weekends they even have open mic and other preformances. Also, Manchurian Momos, they deserve a shoutout, crunchy on outside, and flavorful inside.

Menu was very limited, and had some strangely inauthentic things like pizza? But the food we ordered were delicious and tasted very authentic.

I have been ordering biryani from this restaurant for a while now, mainly because of the Jackfruit biryani. However, whenever I order any chicken biryani, I almost always encounter quality issues. The chicken is either undercooked or too tough to chew. This time, I also found a small piece of plastic in my order. I wont be ordering again.

Loved the ambience, loved the service, Pooja was our server, she was amazing. However, I wish I could say the same about the food that we ordered. We ordered the Delhiwala Butter Chicken Bone-in along with 2 butter naan and the main course turned out to be not enough for 2 people with less hunger. 3 pieces of chicken with less creamy texture of the gravy and that too in the lesser quantity with the price on par with restaurants that have a portion enough for the 2 people for the main course. Ive already provided my feedback to our server as it was nowhere what being served in Delhi, India as Im myself from Delhi lol. Even their Mocktail was barely a 250ml glass. Hopefully, they would improve on that portion part. 2/5 for food due to not enough in quantity.

Upon delivery what I got is only paneer tikka masala and one extra naan that I paid extra for. This happen even when I called the restaurant to make sure what I am getting in that. This is terrible service you can get on a week day when there is no rush or restaurant is not busy. My whole experience about the place is completely ruined the very first time I ordered.

I visited Rangeela recently for my friends birthday party. Deeksha welcomed us with a warm smile and made us feel very comfortable, a big thanks to her, people like Deeksha are the true ambassadors of hospitality and service. The food was delicious and worth every penny spent. Big highlight of the experience was the home brewed beer which we all loved on another level, crisp and smooth at the same time. The service and the staff was extremely efficient and prompt and gave us a lot of attention even when the restaurant was busy. Big kudos to Rangeela and team. Lots of love to Deeksha. Its been 6 months since I wrote this review but I need to take time again to appreciate Rangeelas staff again. Mira at the bar was amazing and the drinks just made our evening more special. Monica has a sweet smile every time I see her and the kitchen is just too quick and efficient and delivers lovely food. Kudos to the entire Rangeela family.
