My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Rania last night, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece, bursting with bold flavors and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in both the cuisine and the service was impeccable. The staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making us feel truly special throughout the evening. Rania offers a dining experience that goes beyond just a meal—it’s a celebration of flavors and hospitality. We left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return. If you're looking for a top-tier dining experience in D.C., Rania should be at the top of your list! Thank you to the entire Rania team for an incredible evening!

Fantastic dining experiance. The food was phenomenal the staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. Presentation of food and drinks was beyond expectations and the food taste, textures, and aroma were unlike any experience I've had in the DC area thus far. Cannot understate how good the food was. Massive compliments to the chef and staff.

Excellent Indian flavors with modern techniques and fusions. I came with a friend from Delhi, and it was truly a treat to experience each course from both a new perspective, but also to have my friend speak to how the ingredients they use were common fare from his childhood, and praising how they elevated these humble staples to new heights. The cocktails pack a major wow factor with the presentation, and the flavors are excellent. Service was great, and on par with the Michelin rating. Complements to the chef, who was so kind to meet us in person despite the heavy prep his team had ahead of Thanksgiving!!!
