this place is with amazingindiancuisine platter with lots of flavours and taste of india. authenticindiannorth food been served here , recommended to visit in the heart of yas island located at yas plaza. it was our first visit to the resturant but won our heart , we had evening iftar set menu which was full of taste.

thanks to amazing host sanjeeta , gayan, toli who served us with warmth.

we will visit again.

a unique approach to flavoring is what makesindianfood seductively delicious and @rangoli_yasislandrotana sure is the power house of flavors !!!
i was invited recently to experience the specially creative dishes from their taste of india menu prepared by chefs which was basically a unique blend of traditionalindiancuisine with a modern twist.
our first impression of @rangoli_yasislandrotana was certainly promising as the restaurant seems like a peaceful oasis of calm and was beautifully decorated with vibrant and colorful interiors all over the place.
we chose indoor seating with dramatic red furnishings, and the menu was served which was just as grand as the seating with unlimited food and beverages.it was basically buffet being served right on your tables.
murgh malai tikka ,lamb gilafi kebab ,rawa fried fish ,onion bhajia, palak patta chat & dal chaat were served as starters among which if we have to choose the best one than our vote surely goes to murgh malai tikka and lamb gilafi kebabs. they were succulent ,soft , tender and filled with meat juice , cooked to perfection👌
the main course option included eight curries (4 veg and 4 non veg) along with breads ( plain naan , garlic naan) and lamb biryani which was star dish of the day and is one of the signature dishes by chef laxmi.
if you are into curry , you”ll love every second of this feast.each curry tastes amazing and we surely loved the creaminess of buttery dal makhni and our most favorite spicy rogan josh.dessert platter were served in the end and after such a grand feast we hardly managed to take few bites of scrumptious ras malai and their freshly made ice creams.
hats off to the amazing service by our server ms toli and the manager ms sanjeeta who made sure that we leave the place with best memories that would surely going to last for a very long time.
undoubtedly it was one of the finest dine in experience i had so far in abudhabi and special thanks to chef laxmi and his team for serving the most delicious and authenticindianfusion food.
i would highly recommend this gem to everyone who are looking for a perfect evening with gastronomic delights.

my best compliments to the whole team of rangoli. this is a gem of a place where you can enjoy unlimited authenticindiandishes on wed and thursday nights at taste of india. my husband and i visited them recently and we tried out almost every dish on the menu, i love the buffet at a table concept to begin with and the fact that we were able to customise the level of spiciness to our liking. they also have a wide variety of vegetarian options so there really is something for everyone.

the whole team was very attentive to detail and we didn’t have to wait too long before we were served with starters which was a great thing.

i highly recommend the lamb biriyani which apparently is a signature dish by chef laxmi along with many other dishes on the menu. when i want and craveindianfood this is what i mean. also do not forget to try the onion bhaji with the mango chutney, that was a great tip by our waiter zain, we loved it with the rangoli daiquiri. they did not fail to deliver the best and i could not fault them for anything from beginning to end. a lovely way to spend the evening for sure.

this place had been on my wishlist for a while and it definitely was worth the wait. located in the exclusive area of yas in a conclave of all the yas hotels (crowne plaza, radisson blu), rangoli is a great place place if you are craving some deliciousindianfood. the ambience of the place is top notch as well and we were particularly happy with the kind and courteous service. for us the standout dishes was the mutton rogan gosh (spicy with delicious shreds of mutton) and the dal makhani (the black dal dish was one of the best i have tasted inindianrestaurants) and delicious gulab jamuns. a must visit especially if you are looking to celebrate some occasions with goodindiancuisine.

my husband and i dined at rangoli yesterday evening. the food was absolutely delicious and not greasy (i usually avoidindianfood because of that). we had palak patta chaat and grilled jumbo prawns as appetizers, the palak patta chaat looked beautiful and the marinade of the prawns was full of flavor. as mains we had the butter chicken which was quite a big portion and very tasty, the hyderabadi gosht biriyani, which is my favorite biriyani, the lamb was so tender and again not greasy at all and yet the rice was fluffy and not dry, the dish which really stood out for me was the aloo udaigiri, a simple potato curry with the perfect combination of spices.
aside from the food our dinner was lovely due to the amazing service provided by the staff, they were very attentive and courteous without being over the top and knew all about the food, gave great recommendations and you could hear and feel passion they have for the food they serve. thank you for a wonderful evening

friday brunch is good,manager is so nice lady. first time i hadindianfood and it was amazing i love the the concept they serve all the food at the table you don't have to go anywhere just sit and enjoy yourself i will highly recommend this place

rangoli is an art form, originating in theindiansubcontinent, in which patterns are created on the floor or the ground using materials such as coloured rice, dry flour, coloured sand or flower petals. the art of rangoli is the spirit ofindianlifestyle and expression of creativity through colours. according to a legend recorded in chitra lakshana, the earliest treaties onindianpaintings, the king and his kingdom were stepped into sorrows at the demise of high priest’s son. every day the king prayed to the lord bramha who moved by the prayer and asked the king to paint a portrait of the body on the floor so that he could breathe life into it. the picture on the floor coined the art of floor painting, and the concept of rangoli originated. the characteristics of rangoli are that it is passed from generation to generation, it is adopted by commoners, and there are no specialised training institutes that teach this art. rangoli is the innate nature of indians, art lovers, and the artists. with such artistic impression and creativity of rangoli, rotana group is running the fine dine restaurant with the ancient art of india- rangoli, the modernindianrestaurant on the gated community of the capital – yas island.fantastic location, enchanting vibes, delicious food, and extraordinary hospitality are features of rangoli by rotana. yas island is the place which caters to all tastes and ages from a dose of adrenaline to unwinding the peaceful sanctuary; rangoli aligns completely with its location on yas island since the restaurant caters to all types of palates. each dish and drink is as carefully crafted and presented as artist fill colours with bare hands in patterns drawn in rangoli. minimalistic yet artistic platting, the right proportion of ingredients, and due diligence in serving them reflect the restaurant’s ultimate expression of passion for art and food.

went for a dinner after a long time and it was a wonderful experience .special compliments to the whole team of rangoli .restaurant seems busy but the service was amazing where the waiter kept my drinks topping up and the food was fresh and presented well with authentic variety ofindiandishes which taste so delicious....we enjoyed the unlimited food and alcohol which was called the taste of india suggested by our waiter where we was also given an option of the kebab promotion to choose which seems to be nice but we decided to go for taste of india which was unlimited food and drinks with only 299 which is very reasonable package .we will surely love to come back again and also try kebabs in our next dinner ...thank you team rangoli .
