Rangmahal Indian Cuisine

You'll have a very hard time trying to top the quality of the food here. The service is splendid as well. Pace yourself, the menu is vast and everything on it sure to please. Since its a la' carte, it can get a little pricey; but worth it. If you appreciate fine Indian, dining here is a must. Go and enjoy ! more

I have lived in Long Island for a number of years and have always passed by this place. Finally one day my boyfriend and I decided we had to try it. We are now both hooked and have to eat here at least once a month. The chef is an absolute genius with his choices in spices and curries. The lamb chops are simply to die for. With a bottle of indian wine, this is the best food on the island and in all of NY. We have brought friends and family here and have converted them in to lovers. There is no better place than Rangmahal for us! more

Great personal service and exceptional Indian food. I've eaten at a lot of indian resturants but nothing compares to this one, both the food and the atmosphere are fantastic. more

A wonderful place. Despite an unassuming external appearance, this place is cozy and comfortable. The service is friendly and caring...the chef will come out midway through the meal to discuss the dishes and solicit comments. The waitperson is totally familiar with the offerings and will guide (but not push) your selections. The food is exceptional, totally on a par with top Manhattan Indian restaurants...try the flaming lamb chops, the chicken vindaloo and tikka masala... It is not inexpensive but good value for an authentic meal that transports you into an Indian home... Pros: food, service more

We live in New York City and spend most weekends on long island and our favorite restaurant on long island is Rangmahal. It's the best Indian food in New York, including Manhattan. The chicken tikka masala and saag paneer are two of my particular favorites. And, they make it as spicy as you like it, they're not afraid to make it really hot. The service is outstanding and it's an overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend Rangmahal in Hicksville. more

this is my first time writing a review but after eating at this excellent restaurant i had to hare my thoughts....im not much of a writer so simply put......OUTSTANDING!!!! The food was delicous and even before eating the aroma filled my nasal passages and sent me in sweet bliss. The service was undeniably the best i have had. unlike most restaurants the time of ordering to the time of eating was excellent...meaning i wasnt waiting there for a hour. the atmosphere was eye pleasing as well as inviting... i had went with my girlfriend and gave us a very friendly and also romantic atmosphere....The dish that i had eaten was the lamb chops and i will say by far it was the most sensational dish of lamb i have ever tasted...i honestly will be comin back next week to bring my grandmother since she loves indian food and spicy food so i think this will be the golden ticket winner......Rangmahal Restaurant in Hicksville is number one in my book... i will be coming back with more of my friends and family in the weeks to come. Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Food more

This is my first review because after eating at Rangmahal, I knew this restaurant deserved this review. \r \r I've been to many indian restaurants, most in the city/Manhattan but nothing even comes close to the unbelievable cuisine I discovered tonight. The service was quick esp. with the waiters refilling our glasses as soon as they were empty. The staff was very polite and friendly. \r \r As for the food, my boyfriend and I could not stop talking about it. Everything was very tasty, succulent and fresh. I ordered the Chili Chicken and didn't think it would be spicy enough for me, but I was more than satisifed because for once ""hot"" meant ""hot"". \r \r And to top the night off, we personally spoke to the chef, who was very easy to talk to and very honest and friendly. So all in all, I would recommend Rangmahal Indian Restaurant in Hicksville to everyone. You won't be dissappointed! Pros: Food and Staff more

This was our first time eating Indian food, and we couldn't have chosen a better place. The decor and music set the tone, and the food, which was fantastic, made this a wonderful dining experience. It is family owned & operated, and everyone genuinely cares about the customers satisfaction. We definately will return to try more items on the menu including dessert!\r \r \r Pros: food, service, ambience more

This was the best Indian food I've ever tasted.\r Priced Higher than average, but well worth it.\r \r Every dish our birthday party of five ordered, be it vegetable, lamb or chicken (next time, I'll try the fish!), was prepared with artful skill and loving care.\r \r The seasonings were tasty without being overwhelming, the sauces...well, you wanted to use every scrap of rice and/or bread to sop them up.\r Ahhh, the breads, pappadam, rice - they too were made with care...\r The Ginger Martini was wonderful and so refreshingly different.\r \r Our party started out with an appetizer of baked cheese on a bed of seared onions. We all shared two lamb dishes - one in a lovely red sauce,and one dish of tender lamb chops sparsely but teasingly seasoned with cilantro, chicken in a creamy coconut sauce, and vegetables in a coconut seasoned sauce, and the classic but humbly delicious spinach -with- cheese- dish found in most Indian restaurants.\r Warning: Even after eating a full feast at Rangmahal, one will not be able to resist the desserts!\r \r The lovely lady who took our orders was charming and attentive without being invasive, and the chef was not only accessible , but treated us like friends or even family...\r \r Bravo, Rangmahal! We will be back for more! Pros: Relaxed atmosphere, great food, great place to celebrate anything Cons: none that I could think of more

I came with my friends, who highly recommended it to celebrate my birthday. I couldn't believe, that for 14 years we have not been aware of this gem. The interior is awesome:clean, red chilli peppers string lights, hut roof for special traditional occasions, many other national decorations. Great selection of very exotic cocktails with natural ingredients,like fresh coconut or amazing ginger martini. And drinks are large and strong! And then came the food...! And, when we thought it couldn't get any better came the dessert tray...! Nothing sticky or doughy or syrupy, just heavenly. And the owners themselves is not the least amazing part of this restaurant: when you leave, you feel like part of their family, which obviously takes great pride in what they do. Pros: you get great quality for a very good price more

As soon as we stepped through the door, we were dazzled by the beautiful decor which includes, but is not limited to, chili pepper string lights, a sectional with a bamboo/straw roof, and many traditional Indian decorations. Of all the Indian food we have tried, theirs was by far the tastiest. It was obvious how much pride they take not only in their cooking, but in ensuring a wonderful experience. The 14 year old family - owned restaurant is run by father, mother, and their 2 sons, all of whom are very warm, friendly, and professional. I strongly recommend the malai kebab, paneer makhani, and their nan is succulent. The dishes my friends and family ordered were delectable as well. When came time for the dessert, one son brought out a tray filled with a tasty compilation of ice creams and little tortes. We came here to celebrate my mother's birthday, and plan on celebrating other occasions here as well. It is very difficult to be disappointed. They even brought out dessert with a candle to honor her. We could not have asked for a better gourmet experience. I highly recommend the ginger martini! more

When you hear 'Indian Food,' the first thing that usually comes to your mind is something that is overly infused with curry-at least that's what always came to my mind when I thought of it. Rangmahal changed all that. Their food is phenomenal and proved to me how wrong I was to think that curry was the main component in all Indian dishes. So well seasoned with fresh herbs and spices-it's very rare to find a place that can make tasty, succulent meat without using an exorbitant amount of salt to flavor it. I recommend the lamb chops very highly, but really any dish that you choose will be a great choice. I have never been dissapointed with anything that I chose on the menu from the appetizers right down to the desserts. I also recommend trying the Mango Lassi (a sweet yogurt drink). It definitely hits the spot. Pros: Food, service, ambience Cons: None to think of more

I was out looking for an something spicy and remembered seeing a few Indian (or Pakistani, or other SE Asian restaurants) in the area. This was the first place that I spied so I wheeled around and got a parking spot right out front. Let me start by saying that I really enjoy Indian, Pakistani, Thai, etc cuisines. Most of the ""Indian"" places that I have been to are about the same. The curry is a bit different from place to place, some are red, some are more brown, but overall, the places are more similar than different.\r This does not seem to be the case with Rangmahal! I had the most incredible dish I have had in ages! It was an lamb with some kind of orange sauce with cardamom, cloves, ginger, garlic, etc. Everything in this dish was fresh, from the oranges to the ginger, which produced a flavor explosion in my mouth. To say that this was the most incredible Indian dish I have ever had is the least amount of praise I can heap on this experience.\r When ordering, the chef (and owner) came out and talked to us about what we wanted. We both wanted something spicy however, he suggested that I not order this dish too spicy since the spice would overwhelm the citrus. Although he did make it what I would consider ""Indian hot"", it was not unbearable and was a great combination of spice and zest. We also had some fresh vegetables, of course cooked with some ghee, and other spices such as whole cinnamon sticks and cloves. The other dish that we had was chicken vinaloo. As far as vinaloo's go, this was a great delayed burn kind of vinaloo. It was hot, but not immediately hot. It was quite hot, but not so much that it was inedible.\r All in all, this was a great culinary experience and I know that I will be back several times over the next couple months while on assignment in this area. Pros: Incredibly fresh spices! more

My husband and I enjoyed the great service and attention given by both husband (chef) and wife. I had the soft shell crabs in a wonderful sauce. The shrimp and cheese appetizer and bread basket were great. And finally the coffe, WOW, better than star bucks! Pros: great service, good food more

I've been to many Indian Restaurants both on Long Island and Manhattan, but when I found Rangmahal I was truly blown away. My mother and I had stumbled on the restaurant one day while traveling on Route 107 and decided to give it a try. Boy were we surprised! Not only is the food exceptional, but the service is amazing as well. I must say that we were both so impressed that we came back shortly after our first visit and took Dad there for Father's Day. He is a tough critic so for him to agree with us, this place is definitely worth it! If you enjoy Indian food as much as we do, you must give this place a try. Trust me, you will be very thankful that you did! Pros: Food, Service, Drinks Cons: Not one! more

Surprise ! Surprise!\r My wife son and I were in a daring mood and wanted to try one of the areas many highly touted Indian restaurants. We whittled the choices down to three and luckily chose Rangmahal. The place was empty when we arrived, but this was to our advantage as we were given a friendly and thorough tour of the menu by our helpful hostess. She made suggestions not according to some formula or what she had been told to push, but tailored her ideas to our tastes. Even the beer she suggested, Old Monk, was a good one. As to the food itself, it was out of this world. My son's garlic chicken--too generic a name for such a complex dish--was a perfect blend of savory with a hint of sweet, creamy without being overwhelming, and the chicken itself was to die for. Although my chicken dish clearly contained many of the same ingredients as my son's, it was a whole 'nother experience. And the breads! Amazing. Their chili nan was worth the trip. As my wife said, ""I've never had bread be the hottest or most fascinating course."" The help was professional and attentive without being overbearing or chummy. The chef was a proud and pleasant man who was gracious in his thanks. Best Indian cuisine I've ever had. Pros: Food, friendliness, professional service more

FABULOUS! AMAZING! DELICIOUS! GREAT AMBIANCE!\r \r My son and daughter took me to Rangmahal for dinner on MOTHER'S DAY!! We just walked in without a reservation and were treated like family instantly!! Having only experienced Indian cuisine a few times before we asked for recommendations and ended up having the MOST DELICIOUSLY PREPARED food!!\r We also drank Indian wine for the first time... complimented the meal perfectly!!! WE had appetizers, entree, wine, dessert and coffee and EVERYTHING was superb!!! Not to mention the EXCELLENT SERVICE!! \r WE WILL BE FREQUENT DINERS FROM NOW ON!!!! more

My boyfriend and I went there this past weekend and it was fabulous. The food was delicious. We shared Samosas and Chicken Tikka Masala and of course Badami Lamb which was one of there specials. all three were excellent but especially the lamb. The service also was very good the waitress was attentive and did not rush us and after everything the chef even came out to make sure everything was good. All in all a great experience and you best believe we'll be going back. more

The food was magnificent and the service was impeccable. It is a family oriented restaurant and they are very concerned about the quality of the food. The chef even came out to greet every customer and asked us about the quality of the food. My fiance and I have been to many Indian restaurants in Brooklyn and NYC, and by far, this has been superior in quality and in service that I have seen. Food is a little on the pricey side, however, it is worth it for the unique taste that you get. more

Imagine 12 people having 12 different meals and every person having an extraordinary taste experience! We ate at Rangmahal last night and we have to say it wasn't just a meal it was a celebration of unique tastes from mild to spicy. The service is truly special with the hostess catering to our every need. We were served as if we were the only people in the restaurant. We were even treated to a surprise visit from the chef! We could not have asked for more. We highly recommend this restaurant where you can take your time and enjoy a truly memorable meal. Pros: food quality and service more
