The birth of classic cuisine in India can be attributed largely to necessity. As early civilizations sought ways to preserve their food, they discovered a large family of ingredients that would not only preserve food but would also promote good health. Blending these amazing spices became an art form over time. Achieving the perfect proportion of spices is absolutely vital to the creation of authentic, delicious Indian dishes.Rangoli was opened in 2000, by sisters Rashmi Rughani and Varsha Makhecha. Joined by Chef Gill, the dream of owning a restaurant became a reality. With help from their husbands and business partners, Jagdish and Amit, the restaurant grew to include Catering Services, On-site Banquet Facility, and Rangoli Express

We didn't get the server we asked for to wait on us even though he was working. There were only two of us but the hostess wanted to sit us at a 6 top table. Hostess gave us menus but no silverware and did that with every customer. All servers had to then go get the silverware for their guests which is more work for servers.

Good food, mostly good service - except for delays getting water and bill. There were TVs all around the restaurant with what appeared to be Indian music videos playing. Some of these videos were a bit racy, offensive and inappropriate for children (not that we had any.
