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.

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.

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.

So freaking good that couldn't even do the cool photo before I ate it. Portion size good with a nice range of spice levels.

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.

I love the owner and the sweet order taker who is always so nice to me. He also remembers all of my special needs and exactly what I like and how to prepare it. He is an absolute pleasure!!

Admittedly, I tried Pasta Viva first and it was a little hard not to compare the two. This location also had the same ordering system. You order on an iPad and then the server brings you the food. I think a better system would be QR codes with the option to order on your phone. The iPads can make the experience really slow when it's busy, especially because there are only 2 kiosks total. The food was good, but for some reason the Irvine location tasted much creamier. Plus, I think Irvine seems to be having fun. This time it seemed that there were only two people working, the cook and then the food runner. It just didn't seem like things were flowing as well as they could have. I did really enjoy all the great photo ops and they also have a bigger dessert menu. Overall it was great, but for whatever reason, it seemed like the Irvine location is running slightly better (or at least on the night I visited).

I prefer the human experience but those who like to order their food though a computer tablet can too. Service: 5 stars. The cashier was a nice guy. I asked him how it worked at "Sweetgreen" and he walked me through it with patience. I tossed around the idea of a steak bowl or a chicken bowl and after reading the descriptions, I decided to build my own bowl. The computer tablets let me touch the pictures to select what went into my bowl: Chicken, Sweet potatoes, Quina, Olive oil, that sort of thing. A slice of bread came with it. Value: 4 Stars. This is tricky. Let's face it. The place is expensive. In and Out hamburger is across the street. They have a burger for like $6. "Why did I write it is tricky?" you ask. Unexpectedly, I found the bowl filling. Another place, for the same money, would leave me full, if not stuffed. This place, "Sweetgreen," leaves me satisfied after half a bowl. It took the other half home. I guess eating nutritious food kills the appetite. So, my 'Build your own bowl' cost me $15 but I could have split it or eaten it later. Which I did. Quality: 5 Stars. First bite, I knew the food was fresh. A few more bites and I felt satisfied. A few more and I felt like I was forcing myself to eat. If I was going to eat healthy and out, and only one meal a day, it would be this. 4.5 stars overall.

The Food: Always fresh and delicious. I usually use a coupon, which helps, but even without one, the quality is consistent. Every time I've come in, the team has been incredibly helpful and friendly. Great service goes a long way! I'm not a big fan of the self-service digital kiosks. It feels a bit impersonal and less intuitive than just talking to someone. For such a large restaurant, it feels surprisingly empty. It's quite cold inside, and the seating is--to put it bluntly--brutal. The chairs have zero cushion and are extremely uncomfortable for sitting longer than five minutes. The bathrooms were not well-maintained during my visits, which is disappointing for a newer location. It feels a little overpriced for a "fast-casual" meal, especially if you don't have a discount. I'll definitely keep coming back because the food is great and the staff is wonderful, but I'll probably stick to takeout. A few small changes--like more comfortable seating, a warmer interior, and better upkeep--would make this a much better place to actually sit down and eat. **Pro-tip:** Keep an eye out for coupons in the app to make the price point feel more reasonable!

For all the restaurants in this center, in my opinion, Fennel is the best dining option if you want a sit down restaurant. Everything I've ordered thus far has been excellent, fresh, tasty, never dry. The service has always been extremely accommodating and the one time I've been disappointed in my original order selling out and having to wait too long for the final dish, they went out of their way to make sure I was given extra fries (which are excellent) and extra things to dip my heaping scoop of hummus into. Don't skip the cocktails, or really any of their handmade drinks. I cannot not get a cardamom latte at brunch, and it's so fun picking which cocktail to get to unwind with whatever dinner entree I go with (usually the salmon bowl). They have large tables so larger groups are welcome. I always see corporate type people having working lunches here, or families out for a nice dinner. This place is almost always quite full, but I still feel like they are slept on and under appreciated.
