    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 :))

    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 family chose Himalayan Taste because it's a Nepalese / Nepali restaurant which also serves Indian dishes. (Yes, there are nuances between the cuisines. We enjoyed both restaurants in Manchester.) When we arrived on a Sat, slightly earlier than the dinner rush hour, the restaurant was pleasantly filled. I like when people support locally-owned businesses in the neighborhood. We didn't wait long to be seated at a table, get ice water, and place our order. The waiter even asked what spice level (1 mild to 10 hottest) we wanted for each dish; he also asked (with a slightly testy tone) if we wanted a drink other than water. A plain lassi, why not? Then the rush arrived. Our order arrived, plus basmati rice - which we didn't order b/c we have a low-carb plan. The jalfrezi and vindaloo were mild, despite ordering a level 8 heat. The saag ordered to level 5 was actually hotter. :D Based on a blood sugar level the following morning, we suspect sugar. (Indian and Nepali cooks in England have told us sugar = cheating / manipulation of authentic cooking.) The restaurant is under-staffed. Water refills were infrequent. Our waiter didn't check on us. The lassi was never served; at least it wasn't charged to our tab. By the entrance, people were waiting for tables as we waited for the check so we could free up a table... as another (empty) table waited to be bussed. The upside: The food was slightly flavorful and pricing is relatively affordable, but we won't return.

The food does take a little while to come out, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Service is friendly. Samosa Chaat (9/10) - An explosion of flavours. I loved that they leave larger chunks of samosa throughout the dish instead of turning it into one giant mashed potato bowl. Great texture and balance. Dahi Puri (8/10) - Refreshing, slightly spicy, sweet, and savuory all at once. Plus, it's a fun dish to eat. Lamb Curry (7.5/10) - The meat was tender and the curry itself was rich and flavuorful.
