Rangoli's Indian Restaurant in South Riding

A few months back we had the privilege of trying Rangoli's South Riding Indian Restaurant, located in Market Square. We obviously went to the lunch buffet, which is assuredly the best opportunity to get a wide variety of fare at reasonable cost, along with seeing the "regulars". The buffet was very, very good.

- Tandoori Chicken, very well seasoned with little gristle
- Kholajuri Chicken (a Curry) - nice and spicy, flavorful
- Lamb Biryani (a Rice-based dish) - excellent
- Peas Pulao - again, nice and spicy, great on the same spoon as the Chicken
- Lemon Rice - standard issue, but always good
- Mixed Vegetable Curry - vegetables well-cut and spiced
- Paneer Masala (a homemade cheese dish) - a truly interesting taste
- Aloo Methi (diced potatoes with fenugreek leaves)- something very new and interesting to us
- Dal Makhani (black lentils) - again standard issue, but always good
- Various fruit-based and fried Indian desserts - by this time, hard to add to our stomach, but we managed to pack away a few delicious morsels.

In all, we'd recommend Rangoli's every day of the week for lunch - on the weekends, there's additional buffet items, and day-to-day the curries, rice dishes and desserts will vary.
