Rangoli

This dimly lit, family-run eatery is a winning culinary combination for discriminating taste buds. The diverse and imaginative menu goes well beyond your typical curry-and-rice staples. Mouthwatering dishes range from top-notch tandoori specials, such as salmon tikka, to fiery curries like chicken Madras. Delicious dosas, tasty kebabs, and subtle sauces compose a tantalizing formula for success. Reasonable prices, coupled with pleasant service, add up to a winning combination of spice and nice.
