    This place is right by Ralph's and was empty at lunch. I got a $15 lunch special. It comes with Chana (chickpeas), rice, one entree, raita and naan. I picked chicken tikka masala. I enjoyed the chicken tikka but that was about it. The Chana was so bland. Chicken tikka was really good but I wish it came in a big portion. The service was great.

    Rangoon Kitchen calls itself an "Indi Cali Kitchen" - if you're expecting authentic Indian food, prepare to be disappointed. The flavors here are very restrained and there's no spicy heat either. We got a couple of lunch combos - saag paneer and paneer tikka masala ($14.99). (After seeing the photos of the chicken tikka masala, which looked liked small bits of grilled chicken dumped on top of the sauce, paneer seemed like the better choice.) The masala sauce was on the sweet side. The combos came with chana masala, rice, raita and garlic naan. The garlic naan was my fave part of the meal. I'm guessing there's not much competition for Indian food in South OC, which is why this place has such high ratings. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    Rangeen Kitchen is quickly becoming one of my happy places in South OC. It is bright, cozy, and colorful, and you can feel the Indi Cali thing as soon as you sit down. It feels casual enough to bring kids, but the flavors are absolutely grown up. We started with the Pani Puri and the Gobhi Manchurian. The Pani Puri is everything you want in that first bite, crisp semolina puris that you fill and dunk so you get the hit of potatoes, spiced water, and sweet tamarind in one shot. The Gobhi Manchurian is addictive, fried cauliflower tossed in a sweet, tangy, spicy sauce with just enough ginger and chili that you keep reaching back "just for one more piece." The kids were thrilled with the Chicken Tender Meal - kids, which comes with chicken tenders and fries and actually feels like real food instead of an afterthought on the menu. For mains, we shared the Plate: Paneer Tikka and the Plate: Chicken Mango Habanero Chicken Tikka. Both arrive beautifully plated with herb salad, rice, and tikka sauce, which makes it really easy to share. The Paneer Tikka is grilled paneer and bell peppers, nicely charred, with lime pickled onions on top that cut through the richness in the best way. The Chicken Mango Habanero Chicken Tikka is the star, juicy grilled chicken smothered in a sweet and spicy mango habanero sauce with bell peppers. It has a slow, pleasant heat and never tips into "too sweet," especially when you drag a piece through the tikka sauce and the rice. Drinks and dessert were such a fun part of the meal. We tried two of the the Masala Chai, and a Mango Lassi. The Masala Chai comes hot and fragrant, with warm spices that feel like a hug in a cup, and the Mango Lassi is creamy and not overly sweet, a great reset between bites of spice. We finished with Gulab Jamun, soft, warm, and soaked in syrup with that hint of cardamom and rose that lets you know someone cared about the details. Service is where Rangeen really shines. Jaime gave us genuinely some of the best service I have had in the area. He was super attentive and kind, checked on us often without hovering, walked us through the menu, and took care of us like it was his own restaurant. By the end of the meal we felt like family, not just another table to turn. Between the thoughtful food, kid friendly options, and the way Jaime and the team take care of you, Rangeen Kitchen is absolutely going into our regular rotation.

    This is an "Indi-Cali" restaurant vs. a traditional Indian one. I had not known that and had warned my fellow diners about how hot/spicy Indian food can be. I cautioned them to make sure they didn't order something that was too spicy. It turned out that my warning was not needed. Everything was gently spiced and extremely tasty. Each dish had a refreshing blend of sauces, spices and intricate flavors. Service was on the slow side, but that was because each dish was freshly prepared, and not pre-cooked. The chicken in my dish was fully cooked and, at the same time, moist and tender. Portions were substantial and prices were reasonable. I look forward to my next visit.

    Delicious food and attentive service in a relaxing environment! We enjoyed the lunch special Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala along with a fascinating dessert that is a creation of the owner Suhki...Chocolate Puff with Mango Mousse! We had a great experience and really enjoyed the food!!! I highly recommend.

    Beautiful restaurant with great food and a modern, clean look. The dishes were all tasty and felt fresh and homemade, and the staff was friendly and on top of things throughout the night. The ambiance made it a great spot to sit down and actually enjoy the meal its in a super nice plaza in oc so there's also just more to do if need be :))

    So freaking good that couldn't even do the cool photo before I ate it. Portion size good with a nice range of spice levels.

    Food was excellent. Fresh and well prepared. Came out nice and hot. Also was able to choose how spicy we wanted the spinach saag w/chicken (other option is paneer). The lamb meatball sandwich was a decent size for lunch with skinny fries so crispier. We will definitely come back.

    I ordered what I thought was the butter chicken according to the waiter, but it's not the butter chicken we all have come to love. They were slices of grilled chicken on top of a thick spicy sauce, it wasn't creamy and the chicken weren't cubes of chicken breast like I was told. The buttery naan were a pleasant surprise though, made fresh to order and right in front of you. Service was excellent though and the restaurant was a simple layout.

    Pleasantly surprised by my experience at Rangeen. I didn't have high expectations because I haven't had really good Indian food in South OC, however Rangeen was an exception. Service was very friendly. We got garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, chicken saag, and a flatbread. Everything was delicious. The tikka masala and saag weren't traditional in the sense that the proteins were atop (vs mixed in), but they tasted great. This is a modern Indian/ fusion restaurant that I will go back to.

    My friends and I went for happy hour. We had two servers that were exceptional…read more The drinks were excellent. Plenty of appetizers to choose from. Two ladies had the short rib tacos and one had the fried chicken slider. We shared string onion rights and french fries. All yummy. We sat outside on the patio. Very nice.

    The review I wish I had seen before coming:…read more Pretty terrible honestly. We made a reservation for eight people including a toddler and an infant and were never told we would be seated outside in 87 degree heat. When we asked about it the hostess got defensive and told us we hadn't specified inside or outside. We're traveling and have never been here. Sorry but customers shouldn't have to know they need to specify that. Honestly it felt like that interaction set the tone for how our table was treated from the start. Water took ages and cocktails took even longer. No one checked on us, cleared the table or offered another round. An hour in we had to ask about the drinks, and out of our being politeness we didn't ask about the food. Trying to give benefit of doubt, again. The kids food was the last to come out Restaurant 101. Feed the tiny customers first, keep ALL customers outside the table even, happy. My entire meal was a five wing starter that had clearly been forgotten. Instead of just admitting it and apologizing we were told they were coming. They finally arrived as everyone else was finishing so my starter was quite literally the finisher. Then the check came and we waited another 20 minutes for someone to come back so we could actually pay and leave. The food was average but the service made the entire experience not worth it. Plenty of franchises do customer service far better, so I'd suggest people check out BJs or Cheesecake Factory even a ruby's would have been better. Sometimes customer service can be taught. Sometimes apparently it can't be. Won't be back. Hope this helps.

    I was curious what was special about this place and tried the chicken bowl…read more Things I liked: Edamame hummus: tasted fresh and slightly nutty, interesting new taste Chicken: not too fatty, pairs well with their Thai sauce (which is a lighter version of Thai sweet chili sauce) Oats and black rice: nice carb base, doesn't stand out but plays well with other ingredients Jammy egg: I would highly recommend this, light with a good balance of sweet and salty Things which were okay: Corn: it goes well with the bowl but doesn't standout by itself Sweet potatoes: same as corn Things which can be improved: Broccoli: it's charred broccoli and tastes slightly bitter. I don't think it goes well with the bowl. I'd rather have steamed broccoli or less charred broccoli with a fat like mayo or cheese based sauce Bok choy: this also doesn't go well as ginger overwhelms your palette and it takes a while to reset and taste things normally. I'd suggest changing it to soy bok choy sautéed in sesame oil. Combined with nomnivore rewards, it's still surprisingly great value for money (sweetgreen value territory or even better).

    An unexpected surprise ! The food was delicious, we got a "Keto Bowl" a protein-packed, low-carb…read morebowl with full scoops of citrus chicken, espresso-rubbed pork, and umani beef over fresh salad greens, with ponzu mushrooms, avocado smash, eggs, and cilantro, finished with our black garlic sauce. (I had help by using the menu to write this! ) but it really does explain why it was delicious and why we appreciated all the different tastes! Service was spot on. We were able to go back and get as many sauces as we wanted. They have a soda fountain dispenser that has drinks that are only pure cane sugar, which I highly appreciate.
