Curry (Saag Paneer). Mild and earthy, this features soft cubes of paneer in a smooth, velvety spinach sauce.
Jenn R.

We're always up for Indian food and bonus points when we find a place that gets the spices just right without overpowering the dish! THE FOOD. - Papdi Chaat. This arrived as a beautiful chaos of crunchy wafers, cool yogurt, tangy tamarind, and bright herbs. Each bite was a combination of sweet, creamy, spicy, and crispy. It's an interesting dish to try out. - Curry (Lamb). The lamb was tender and well-braised while the tomato-based sauce was rich, tangy, and perfectly balanced with warm spices and a mild heat. Comforting, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again. - Curry (Saag Paneer). Mild and earthy, this features soft cubes of paneer in a smooth, velvety spinach sauce. It's my favorite and if you're also a fan of saag paneer, I'd highly recommend ordering this. THE VERDICT. Rangeen Kitchen delivered flavorful Indian comfort food with thoughtful execution. If you're craving something vibrant, tasty, and reliably satisfying, this is the spot!

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.

Rangeen calls itself Indian-Californian, which in a tired little strip mall can sound like the kind of identity crisis best avoided. I'd driven past it plenty of times on the way to the dog groomer and never once felt compelled to stop. Friday night changed that. We were hungry, but not sit-down-for-two-hours hungry. We wanted something better than fast food, but not some overproduced evening of cocktails and self-importance. We wanted food worth getting out of the car for. Rangeen hit that mark beautifully. Getting my wife on board took some work. She's not a curry person. But a few online photos of fresh, vibrant salads were enough to win her over. Inside, the place still showed traces of whatever came before it, a blank quick-serve menu screen hanging awkwardly over the counter, like a relic from another life. But this was table service, and a perfectly comfortable one at that. There were maybe eight or nine tables, and one lone server holding down the front of house. Casual, older, thin, moving with purpose. She greeted us warmly, dropped menus, answered the phone, checked back often, kept the table tidy, and somehow managed to make the whole room feel cared for without a hint of drama. I went for the spicy mango chicken. My wife chose a healthy-looking salad with grilled sweet potatoes, nuts, and all the things I generally avoid unless someone smarter than me orders them first. We added naan, because not ordering naan would have been foolish. The food took a few minutes longer than the impatient part of your brain might expect. But then it arrived, and suddenly none of that mattered. My dish was excellent: nicely seasoned bite-sized pieces of chicken, rice, a fresh side salad, and a spicy sauce that pulled the whole thing together with real intention. And the plating, that was the surprise. This wasn't tossed on a plate like an afterthought from the spot next to the grocery store. It looked like someone actually gave a damn. And that, really, is what stays with you. Not just that the food was good, but that care had gone into it. The ingredients may not have been expensive, I say that as someone who owns restaurants and knows roughly what things cost, but value isn't about raw food cost. It's about what arrives at the table, how it's presented, and whether anybody in the building seems to care if you enjoy it. At $19, this was a steal. For about the price of a drive-thru burger meal, I got something thoughtful, well executed, and satisfying enough to remind me why local places like this matter. And to the party of four next to us who only left a five-dollar tip: do better.

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.

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.

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 :))

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.

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 left with the sandwich and drove off. When I took the sandwich out of the bag to eat it, I noticed it had pepperoni. Then I looked at the receipt and saw he added a change for extra capicola. It didn't even seem to have extra meat. Aside from this the sandwich was very dry. It was light on all the ingredients other than ham. But the lack of vinegar was a let down. Then I opened the little bag that I believed would have a pickle and it had a chocolate chip cookie. No pickle on the side. Disappointing experience.

We ordered five sandwiches: Padang Padang, the Reuben and Pastrami sandwiches, Maverick's, and Brooke Street. The food doesn't come out super fast like a fast food place, but we didn't mind since we had time and appreciated the fact that this was due to the sandwiches being made fresh and on the spot. The owner even gave our three kids free juice boxes so the wait definitely went faster! When our sandwiches came out, we ate nearly everything even though these sandwiches are quite big and packed. Padang Padang had a nice little kick, which I barely noticed because of how quickly I ate it. Our oldest ate her half and wanted the other half immediately. And our youngest who is going through a picky stage ate half of the Reuben and half of the pastrami.

It's inside of a very small courtyard that used to have a couple more shops and dance studios. There's even a large 24 hour fitness which turned into a different fitness center that you would think would help pump up the area, but I think that fitness place is also closed. The courtyard that second reef deli is located in has spaces for a handful of interesting food spots and could be a great place for people to socialize and hang out. There is a Mexican restaurant called flamingos located just behind the courtyard but I think that's more of a nighttime spot although they are open at 11 AM for lunch. With regards to the sandwiches at second deli, you really can't go wrong. The Sandwiches are all names of surf spots. I love that they serve sprouts and squaw bread which is really hard to find. The #11 Padang is really popular for the hot sandwiches as well as one called Blacks. That's a tuna melt! The Brooks on squaw and the Mavericks which comes on squaw are my favorite go to choices for cold sandwiches. I hope they continue to thrive in this location and that it improves around them. I've been a customer of theirs for at least 10 years!

In terms of sandwiches and salads this is a pretty clean-eating facility. The produce is always fresh. I've tried a number of sandwiches at this location and they are always MEH. Especially at this location, you have to double check your order because they frequently just make the sandwich how they generally make the sandwich and don't take any modifications into consideration. As someone who is allergic to onions, no matter how many times I request no onions they will be on there! One of my family doesn't like the secret sauce and often orders a side of Italian dressing instead and inevitably it either comes as a barr sandwich or that secret sauce is still on there. And things like that. I'm not saying I don't come here and grab a sandwich, because when I'm in the area, short on time and need a quick bite, I will often stop by. I just have yet to have the specific sandwich that I asked for and the experience I am hoping for. Not bad, not good, just OK.
