Rangoli absolutely nailed it. The staff was on point from the second we walked in--friendly, fast, and genuinely attentive that honestly put most restaurants to shame. The ambiance? Gorgeous. Cool blue lighting, great energy, and a spotless bathroom. And the food... wow. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully cooked, and served in portions big enough to feed our group of four with leftovers to spare. It's rare to find a place that delivers both quality and quantity without cutting corners, but Rangoli does it effortlessly. Amazing service, incredible food, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. This place is an easy win. read more

Although my current alphabet series is inclusive each year through 2024 (and just wrapped up the letter R), but I'm adding a bonus R I visited in 2026, which was in my Yelp review drafts. It happened to be a month ago today on Sat., 1/3/26 with a Meetup group. This is an excellent Indian buffet in Arundel Reserve next to Bagels n' Grind (see my 4-star review of them from Aug. 2025). We were here when they opened at 11:30 AM. Everything was delicious, a good variety of various rice, samosas, meats, etc. The tea was one of the best although had to let cool for a few minutes as it's piping hot. Desserts were great too. I was stuffed. Service was prompt with water refills. We were all impressed with Rangoli. Definitely would come back. read more

Rangoli remains our go-to Indian spot--even if it's a 40-minute drive from home. We don't get to visit as often as we'd like, but every time we do, it's worth it. On our latest visit, we noticed the restaurant has had a lovely facelift. The updated interior feels fresh and modern, adding to the overall experience. As always, the food was phenomenal. We opted for carryout this time, and everything was packaged with care--still hot, beautifully presented, and just as flavorful as dining in. Rangoli consistently delivers on quality, taste, and hospitality. A true gem. read more

I've been here before for the weekday lunch buffet and while that is good, the weekend lunch buffet ($24 as of 6/25) is even better. In addition to the traditional buffet items that include a mix of vegetarian and meat options, they had a made to order dosa and chaat station that was really good. The chaat was my favorite out of everything I ate and I highly recommend. There was also a mushroom dish I can't remember the name of now, but reminded me of Szechuan style flavors that was also quite good. Only a couple of the buffet items were spicy, so feel free to bring your wimpy friends. They also have serve yourself mango lassi and hot chai, which made me very happy. The staff was very prompt refilling our waters and removing used plates. We both left satisfied. read more

Service was great and food was delish. It is a bit pricey but you do get a decent amount of food. The pani puri, samosa chat, garlic naan, and Chana masala were mid, and I felt like they were lacking a bit flavor but it is still good. The chicken biryani and chicken vindaloo were really good (highly recommend)! Just be careful with the spice levels because it's actually spicy. We ordered the vindaloo super spicy and as people who enjoy eating spicy buldak noodles, we were sweating. read more

I recently ordered takeout at Rangoli twice. The first food experience was so good that I had to return. I ordered Butter Chicken with rice and Garlic Naan the first time and Salmon Tikka Masala, Shrimp Tikka Masala, Gobi Manchurian and Garlic Naan the second time. The food was outstanding both times. The salmon was fresh and plentiful in the dish, same with the shrimp dish. The sauces are always delightful. The rice was perfectly cooked to the point that it was still soft prior to reheating it the following day. The other dishes were noteworthy as well. The Garlic Naan was fresh and was a sizeable portion. We had enough food for lunch the next day. The ordering process was efficient and the food was ready at the stated time. The food was still piping hot when we got home. I have been perusing the menu for other things to try. This food has become a fast favorite. read more

Startlingly good! I don't usually review after one visit, but was much more impressed than I expected. A late-lunch stop, only a handful of tables, mostly going to the buffet- normally this is a restaurant's weakest time. But they turned out some of the most balanced, flavorful lamb dishes I've had in ANY area Indian restaurant. Rogan Josh with a "7" spiciness had a nice zing but integrated into the flavor rather than just "we dumped more cayenne on top". Yum. Similarly, my friend's Vindaloo was exactly on point, but without a spice specification it was made notably milder than typical, yet without losing any of the other spicing. Perfect execution on the kitchen's part. Garlic and regular naan were both fresh & delicious. Never trust an Indian restaurant that doesn't have great naan or great rice; those are foundational to the cuisine. The naan & rice say trust this one. The kicker- there's no lunch time bartender that I noticed, but somehow they produced two delicious cocktails that I'd be happy to have at any restaurant, and better than I've ever been served at any traditional Indian restaurant. Other thoughts: No idea what people are talking about w/ parking- there's an entire garage available plus the street parking. It's a huge restaurant and only one side was open for our ebb-time visit. Suburban South Asian restaurants are a mixed bag- a lot of them are good or good values, but only a few are "great". Based on my first experience, this is one of the best in the area. Reviewing in the hope they continue as they are. Definitely will be back. read more

This place has a wonderful, large buffet with many offerings. For appetizers pakora, samosas, naan, and dosas made to order right in front of you. Their mains such as tandoori chicken, curry goat, saag, briani, are also very tasty. I did not see any seafood the day I went though They also have a great selection of desserts, such as mango yogurt, keer, and masala tea. I'm sure that I forgot to mention so many other items. The service is absolutely impeccable. My server was very professional and kind. I do agree with another Yelper that parking is difficult at this location. Especially if you are on a time crunch for lunch hour. Overall this is a great place to go for good Indian food. read more

Rangoli Restaurant - Lunch buffet - Indian Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Excellent food and drink ar this at restaurant. The restaurant staff was very attentive and friendly. I will return here to dine again.

I was meeting friends on Sunday evening and we went to this restaurant. Here is my breakdown: Ambience: Usual store front turned restaurant. Decor is fine nothing to rave about. Food: The malai tikka we ordered was tasteless and the hyderabadi chicken was too spicy despite telling them we didnt want spicy food. The momos were doused with sauce and were just a soggy mess. The malai koftas were too sour. Food was just not great but not inedible either. Service: This is where they lost all their points. AT 9:30, 3 separate people came up to us and asked if we were done eating when we clearly were eating. One person shortly, thereafter, just stated that you're done eating and took away the plates. Their stated timings are until 10 pm and at 9:40 they were ushering us out. We pointed this out to the server who was apologetic but the two other people did not even bother apologizing. If you cannot wait for people to finish eating before your closing time, then you should not be in this business. Absolutely horrible and needless to say not going back. read more

Lunch buffet here on a weekend. Highly recommended for the price of $20. You get to try all the dishes and find something you like. I like the decor of Rangoli. The yellow walls, warm vibes, well-lit booths. Servers were attentive to your every need. The buffet area is sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant. Can't wait to go again for my next craving. Park in the parking structure next to the Arundel if theres no spots nearby. read more

We have been here several times over the past year - usually for their Sunday buffet (believe it runs on Saturdays too). The price is very reasonable and there is a good variety of food, mixture of veg and non-veg. The staff are fantastic. There is sometimes a live counter with different dosas, which I love! Their dishes are alway flavourful, and although I think they can be more spicy, the spiciness is probably at a level that most of the population can tolerate and enjoy :) The naan are done to perfection. Even though I'm not big on sweets, I always enjoy the desserts they have to offer. We will keep coming back! read more

I've been going to Rangoon for years and years now, probably since it opened up. But I never put my thoughts to how I felt about it. In short, the food is excellent, service is amazing, but the decor/settings could use some creative direction. We started with veg spring rolls and the veg momos. Spring rolls were usual and nothing too crazy there but oh were the momos surprising. Whatever the sauce they use for the glaze on the momos is out of this world. It was spicy yet flavorful enough to let the filling blend in nicely. The sauce was so good that we used the leftover as a dip for the spring rolls. I would come back again and again just to eat veg momos again. Main course's dum aloo was very forgetful. Credit to the server here though. However the paneer curry was good enough to save grace. Butter naan and Kashmiri naan were good as usual though the Kashmiri naan could have used more cashews and nuts over sweetness. The only issue I have with Rangoli is the setting but I can understand why they struggle here. Because they have a small area (not counting the empty side sitting room that is huge) they are confused as what to do during dinner service. They seem to have really nice ambient lighting and art pieces on the wall to hint at a calm atmosphere for dinner. But then there is usually a big TV running over the bar which is in the middle of everything so everyone can see it. If this place was completely casual/fast in and out type joint, that would be fine but because it's such a nice atmosphere, I just think they can do better with the music and tv screen during dinner service. I'm all for it during Happy Hours though. In all, I'm going to continue coming to Rangoli as long as their food quality remains at top like it has for past decade. read more

This is truly a phenomenal buffet. We went for lunch on a Friday and were blown away by the plethora of options. Was nice to enjoy a buffet after several years of not having that luxury. Service was impeccable with staff waiting on you as needed. And staff cooking up fresh ordered dosas at a dosa making station. Flavors and heat were good and you can always add additional spices as needed. 11/10 would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Wow. The food here is fantastic. I got take out. Chicken tikka masala and palak paneer medium spicy for both. It could have been a little bit more spicy if you like spicy food. But both dishes was great. They were good portions too. More than enough for two meals. Inside looks really nice, very classy. They have a well stocked small bar. The waitstaff was extremely friendly. As I waited for my takeout they poured me a glass of water at the bar. I would definitely come back here. read more

We just moved and are trying some new places. We ordered in for dinner and got a few new things. The chili, garlic, and cheese dosa are amazing! The lamb Rogan Josh from some places can be in the super gamey side, but it was phenomenal! We also got the Chicken Tikka (which is a FAVORITE in the house by the pickier eaters so this is always a test!) there's a chance the dish was messed up because it came like a salad, but with Tikka chicken. The chicken was amazing, we added it with some sauce, but hopefully going to order again and it will be served differently? The Lassis are both favorites in the house as well! If you are sensitive to spice this is true Indian spice (aka SPICY) mild had a pretty decent kick to it. I typically get medium, but this was HOT indeed today!! Overall amazing quality, and good quantity as well! read more

I ordered the handi goat masala. Absolutely delicious! The best Indian food that I can remember getting. Not sure what my husband order but it came out smoking and sizzling and was to die for! We also got a side of garlic naan. The portions are big we had to get to go boxes. The staff here were attentive. The reason that I can't give them 5 stars is because they were just too slow and the prices for lunch are too high. I would love to be able to come here for my lunch break but I just cannot be out of the office for more than an hour. read more

Summary: If Indian Buffets are your jam, this is the place for you Location: Great! Ambience: Good. The place is clean, bathrooms are clean and for a buffet, everything looked hygienic Price: Reasonable! Especially with the live dosa station. Service: Can be mixed. We've had great service and mediocre service. Never had a bad experience though Food: I am a fan of their live dosa station. I'm also a fan of the appetizer station that they keep changing out. Of the multiple times we've been there, the time they had the Chicken 65 was probably our favorite. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone and if you make the trip out there, you might find us there ;) read more

The lunch buffet here was what the top Indian restaurants used to serve pre Covid. You get everything from fresh gobi, butter chicken, goat curry, lentil curry, samosas and more. The Indo Chinese dishes were a nice addition as well. The location itself is very clean and they had some nice interior decorations. The buffet area is in the far back and the food area was really clean. The food temperature was really hot and the servers were very attentive. Prices are reasonable and you get over 10 dishes to choose from. The food is really tasty and be careful you will get a food coma after. My friend and I definitely got our money's worth with our +8 dishes. Highly recommend coming here for lunch. Location is right off of BW parkway and not far from Arundel Mills. read more

We went for a buffet. This restaurant has everything that a typical Indian buffet has. Desert items - Gajar Halwa and Ras Malai were both great. Usually Gajar Halwa in a buffet disappoints. Curries were ok but too salty. Naan and roti were average too. Biriyani tasted good but it was too greasy. All in all it was a decent buffet. They had a stall where they made fresh dosa and some chat items. That was good. Service was nice. Restaurant is in a nice locality. read more

I am new to Indian food and this place looked clean and modern so I have been here twice. The dining room is very nice and the service is excellent. One time I had Chicken Tikka Masala and the other was Butter chicken. Both served with rice. I also ordered garlic naan. They also served papadums and chutney before. All seemed fresh and tasty. I did go back one weekday for their buffet to explore some other dishes. They had a variety of dishes but I was disappointed that there was no naan. However after I sat down they brought me a basked of fresh, hot naan. I am still on the fence about Indian food overall but this place seemed to be a good place to explore. read more

Poor service; multiple errors in order; charged for an item they took away because it was not what was ordered; terribly slow service -- a plain Dosa was the last item brought out, to the chagrin of a very fidgeting 6-year old. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious. The dishes we picked were so flavorful and in a good portion size. The kaju Koya and Shazam sevra were big hits with my family. I was however a bit disappointed with the service. My brother has a nut allergy which we informed the server of at the beginning. I understand that since the menu is quite large is hard to know what does and doesn't have nuts however it would have been great if our server asked the cooks at the beginning of the meal rather than individually each time we ordered. We ordered 2 palak chaats and then a a third one separately but were never served it. The restaurant has a small dinning room but lots of seating both inside and outside. I would come back for the food but the service was just ok. read more

After having recently moved to Hanover, I have been venturing into new food arenas. Rangoli was on my list so my sister and I walked in late last Friday ready to eat! The restaurant was pretty empty but there were allot of takeout orders heading out the door. Our servers were fast, friendly and attentive. He made an excellent suggestion to try the Mango Lassi as my drink. It was delicious and creamy as it is made with mango purée and yogurt. We split an order of chicken tikka which came out on a sizzling pan with charred veggies, the chickpea side and rice. The garlic naan bread was a add on and well worth it! The flavors in the chickpeas were insane and had just the right amount of spice. We thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Hearty and hot on a cold night. There isn't allot to say about the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The decor is bright and everything inside was clean but it did lack some character. However, once the food comes, decor will be the last thing on your mind. Next time your visiting Arundel Mills Mall or the casino, take the quick ride down the street for some family style eats at Rangoli. You won't be disappointed. Thank me later. read more

Really solid little spot with a great buffet selection at lunch. Indian food really hits the spot and they didn't disappoint. The servers get you in quick and are friendly.
