We have lived on Long Island (in the Hicksville area) for years. The neighborhood is full of restaurants, but there are a choice few that stand out brilliantly, and Rangmahal is one. Patrons are greeted with a warm smile from Puja (your hostess), and the mood for a lovely evening or afternoon dining experience is set. On many occasions we have enjoyed the specials recommended by Chef Arun (and you can NEVER go wrong with his suggestions), but tonight we felt like trying a few basic and traditional dishes - a simple Chicken Korma and a Palak Paneer. They reminded me just how special Rangmahal really is, as both dishes were exceptional ... and we have eaten at many Indian restaurants around the country (and in Canada!). Another great point is that the staff truly makes you feel welcome. Your preferences are always asked for, and suggestions are always made with a smile but without pressure. We usually go for them, and we've never regretted it. The authentic Indian beverages (lassis, coffees and Chai teas) are also a nice way to complement any meal here. When you are in the Hicksville area, stop in for a fine dining experience at Rangmahal. And rest assured, after your first visit, you'll be perfectly willing to travel to come here from just about anywhere on the Island.
