Rania Washington Reviews

They have an option for 4 course menus for $90 which is reasonable for DC as most places are usually a good amount over $100. I like how for the first appetizer, second appetizer, entree, and dessert there are several options to choose from instead o
Rania has been on my list for a couple of years now.
I booked a last minute late Friday night solo dinner before RW ended, but I chose the Chef Tasting Menu instead and I was absolutely blown away by the entire experience! From the moment that I walked in until the moment that I left out, I was met w
Food 5/5.
Service 5/5. Def worth a visit. The cocktails are pretty pricey but def worth it. We had the tasting menu and every dish was superb.
Average food but upscale price
We made the reservation and chose the 3-course restaurant week menu for $65 per person with a $35 wine pairing. The food was totally average or mediocre, not Indian authenticity at all. Environment.and service was great. When we got the bill, they ch

Came for Restaurant week lunch (it was noon on a Saturday but apparently the only served brunch on Sunday, a bit odd but ok), was pleasantly surprised by the food served during RW though. Stated with excellent chicken kofta meatballs in a delicious s

We visited Rania DC to celebrate our one-year anniversary during Restaurant Week, and it could not have been more perfect. The food was absolutely incredible--10/10 across the board. I started with the shisho chaat, followed by the paneer, and ended

I was so excited to try their restaurant week dinner menu and it did not disappoint. For the first course, I tried the PEI mussels kulcha and the Hokkaido scallops. As a scallop enthusiast, the latter dish was definitely my favorite. The light char

Rania comes from the same team behind Punjab Grill DC - think of modern Indian cuisine. Our group came here to celebrate a birthday, and we were seated promptly. We ordered everything in a 'family style' so that we could share - we starte
This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in DC.
This is my third time here. The first time was for the restaurant week a couple of years ago. We were here to celebrate our friends birthday. We did the $175 tasting menu that includes 7 courses. We ordered drinks separately. Overall we spent about $

I debated heavily with myself before rating Rania at 3 stars. This is an award winning Indian restaurant in Washington DC and comes with outstanding ambience. We dined to celebrate Mothers Day with 3 people on the special chefs menu and 2 younger chi

There are not enough words to describe this experience! This was our second Michelin experience and it was amazing! We did the 7 course meal, which was a lot of food and we were stuffed by the 5th lol but I thought the unique presentations and authe
A Memorable Meal on a Special Day
The Portions were great and the food was too. The melt in your mouth paneer and the Chocolate Tart were the two highlights of the meal. This was a special occasion for my dad and he loves Indian food and boy did he love this. I truly recommend Rania.
Can’t wait to go back!
Stunningly beautiful restaurant. We were a group of 8 celebrating a birthday and the service couldn’t have been more accommodating. The tasting menu was absolutely delicious. The drinks were very creative and came in elaborate displays which was fu
Tasty food in mixed environment.
We had the tasting menu and enjoyed it very much. Food was in small portions but very tasteful. The cocktails were hit or miss. A visual representation might help to manage expectations. The main dish (Squab), was nicely prepared, but underwhelming c
Overrated for the Microscopic.
Overall the food was good, however, given the price for the minute portion sizes of Indian food, it simply was not innovative or worth the exorbitant cost of generally good dishes. There are a multitude of other options worth your appetites if you s
Elevated Indian
True to Indian flavors, but so much more. Traditional dishes in bites. The depth of complex flavors and textures are amazing though. We loved each course and wine pairing. Refined decor is elegant yet comfortable.
Indian food at its best when it is at Rania. Your taste buds will savor the flavors offered for various dishes.
Have slightly different twist to classic Indian dishes with extraordinary balance and taste. We had vegetarian dishes and they are the best in DC area
Wish we could go back
The restaurant was gorgeous, the waitstaff was extremely attentive, and the food was so good I am still thinking about it several months later. Menu has changed since but the dal was incredible, who knew lentils could taste so good. No drinks for us
Surpassed expectations
This place is amazing! I cannot wait to go back! Their specialty cocktails are absolutely amazing - super creative, beautiful presentations, and fabulous flavor combinations. Each dish was spectacular once dinner began. We were more and more pleased

I dined at the bar at Rania last night and had a great experience. The ambiance is pretty cool and I'm guessing more Indian traditional than contemporary. My one pet peeve about the bar is how close it is to the ball when you enter the bar area. I

First time to this newly minted Michelin starred Indian restaurant. To say a unique dining experience is a disservice...it truly stands above the other offerings in town. Though it's a fixed price menu, there are still a number of options per cours

The food and drinks at Rania were very good, so the reason I'm giving it 3 stars is the service. We sat at Rania for about 2.5 hours, and saw our server 3 times, max. We waited nearly an hour between our second appetizer and main course, but we didn
Great food, some standouts, service could improve
Rania has a stellar set of unique and creative flavors and is well worth a visit! It's a 4.5 star for me and that's mainly because my experience at Albi was better and a clearer 5. TLDR highly recommend the let it snow cocktail, the lamb
I had an excellent birthday dinner at Rania.
It is a very creative take on Indian cuisine while being true to the fundamental. The aloo chaat was excellent, and so beef short rib. Every dish was interesting!

I see why Rania received one Michelin Star, this place impressed. The parking is not that good, either street parking or garage, there was no valet option when we went. Other than parking, everything about the experience was exceptional. The restaura
Maybe closer to a 3.
5. What I got off the tasting menu: - Shrimp koliwada (3.5/5) - Shrimp were well cooked and there was an explosion of flavor, but it was a little on the salty side. - Lamb cheela (3/5) - Kinda reminded me of a lamb birria taco. Decent but not amazi
We went here last night with friends from out of state.
$90 per person for 4 course meal. Truly I would give it a 3.5 star if comparing only to other Michelin stars in the area. The ambience was nice, but it definitely was a little dark in there. The service was good, but not as good as I've had at other
Loved my experience here.
Food is served in a nice timely manner. It's $90 for four courses but you have the option to add additional dishes for different prices for each section of the course. The price is very fair. The definite stand outs for me was the oysters, lamb, and
Vegetarian variety: 8/10.
Each section of the three-course menu had two vegetarian options, one of which was dairy-free. Each table also gets three small sides to share, all of which were vegetarian. Taste: 8/10. My first two courses were terrific - textured, creative riffs

Went here for Valentines with my wife and son.
They do not have anything for kids at all, like no high chairs no boosters but they were pretty accommodating with the custom stuff we asked for even though they had a prix fixe menu going on for the night. Anyway the food is fantastic and the cockta

I've eaten here three times since October and can't wait to go back. Unusual ingredients (truffles, fennel, oysters) for Indian food in a beautiful setting with excellent service. Worth the money.
Food was delicious.
Service was alright. Ambiance was formal since this is a non-casual Indian food. My favorite was the salad and the desserts. I honestly can't remember the names, but they are really good.
They delivered on their promise of Indian food with a twist.
My favorite Indian restaurant is Rasika, who I think does lentils as they always should be done and has some amazing fish dishes... BUT... I would consider this a close second after dining here just once. I LOVE aloo gobi and just about any paneer di

Booking a table for Valentine's Day, my wife spent an evening at Rania and walked out impressed. Located in Penn Quarter, the space is beautifully designed with a glowing bar in the front and dining rooms in the back.Service was friendly and mastered
I ordered an Anaritha cocktail.
I asked if the cumin was too strong and he said no. The hostess said our table was ready and they said they'd bring the drinks to the table and that it would be included in the bill- we did not have to pay separately. LOVED that!!! Also loved the wat

It really is a shame that the kitchen putting out the best Indian cuisine in DC, at a high end restaurant, seems to be diminished by its front of the house staff. Our first visit, after flawed meals at predecessorPunjab Grill, turned out to be delic

In all honesty I much preferred Rania's predecessor, but that doesn't factor into this review and rating. Rania is similarly elegant and nicely appointed with several different dining areas. However, the food and service did not rise to the same leve
Rania is set in a great location in DC.
The entrance, bar, and dining area are decorated with such beautiful details. From the wood carvings, to the marble table legs, to the splotched mirrored columns, the ambiance transports you to another region. Each dining area was intricately designe
Connect with users posting reservations for Rania Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Rania Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Rania Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Rania Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Rania Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Rania Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
