Rangoli India Restaurant, San Jose

Finally found a good Indian restaurant that is similar to the English style. Great flavorful, spicy curries, nice decor, good service. I didn t give a full 5 star as the service was a little slow, and could improve - but not bad by any means. Also, the waiter didn t mention the curries came with rice, so we had way too much. Otherwise I am very happy to find this place.

Recently moved to the area and have been looking for a good Indian Restaurant the reviews made us curious enough to try. As we walked in the linens and abstract artwork had us intrigued. We looked over the menu and asked for some recommendations. The wine list had some amazing choices that paired well with the eggplant appetizer we could not get enough of! AMAZING. The cucumber salad was fresh, tasty and light. We ordered the Chicken Tikki Masala and the Lamb with rice and garlic naan. I asked for more spice so the chef made up a special spicy sauce as requested. The dishes are served in copper pots that seemed to hold pots of gold in the form of Indian cuisine. The pastry chef made creme brule in 3 flavors; ginger, mango and chocolate. If you haven't tried this restaurant you have been missing out. The key to finding the best dishes anywhere is to ask the servers or managers that work there what their specialty is or what is fresh daily...Thank you Rangoli.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the South Bay. The food is excellent, the service is friendly and efficient and it has a nice ambiance, too!

At first the service was very good....then I noticed declining standards of service. I never saw the same staff two times in a row. One day I found a huge hunk of lamb in my food....One side of the buffet is entirely vegetarian so this should not have happened. When I complained to the owner, he just argued with me and said it couldn't be. No apologies. And it is almost impossible to get drinks. Refills on water are hard to come by as well. There are a couple really nice workers there, but by and large this place is overrated.

Great food. Friendly service. A hidden gem. Tikka Masala is fantastic.
