Rani in Barnet

Fantastic, punctual and reliable catering service. Ordered food for a private event and did not disappoint. Diraj and his team were friendly and professional from start to finish. Thank you for everything and look forward to using you again, will be highly recommending you to friends and family.

I ordered a chana chaat amongst other things and for some reason they thought it would be good idea to put the cold chaat under the containers of piping hot food, therefore curdling the yogurt and making the entire portion soggy and very unappealing. When calling the restaurant, they proceeded to tell me that chana chaat should be served hot and that I got it wrong! Please, I know indian/gujarati food so please don't pull that one! Also on the menu, it's listed under cold starters!!! Anyway, overall not happy and even more so with the response from the lady I spoke to on the phone!

Proper Indian food, not Bangladeshi. Reasonably priced, tasty and nice friendly staff. Parking can be a bit aggy.

The food here is really weird. The masala popadom is unnecessarily spicy, the Pani Puri Pani was weirdly viscous and sweet, and the dosa was bland. Service was good though! I don’t recommend visiting here.

To have an all you can eat Indian Vegetarian Buffet meal after an afternoon in nearby Victoria park seemed an ideal way warm up and relax with a good meal before heading back to our homes, I was on a trip out with my friend from the suburbs to Victoria park and she suggested Rani Vegetarian as good place to eat, we arrived after the main lunchtime rush and easily got a table for two, although the chafing dishes were a little depleted, there was plenty to fill and refill our successive plates, we restrained ourselves and had two full plates of food, opting each time to serve ourselves from alternate dishes, we ended with a dessert and all washed with a jug of Passion fruit juice, the restaurant is warm quiet and peaceful, the service is discreet, leaving our table to get our next course, we would return to find out previous plates magically whisked away while our backs were turned, all the food was excellent and cooked to perfection, I could not criticise anything on offer and left happy and full but a little hot after having a few chille dishes which I haven't had the pleasure of eating in some time, although this restaurant is off the main Broadway it is worth seeking out, Indian Vegetarian dishes Excel over the meat versions every time and offer a more extensive range of food to eat, I am a self confessed carnivore but when it comes to Indian food I always go vegetarian, if you are in the area and want a good meal head for Rani, they have an extensive menu if you want to order a range of dishes to fill your table to share all in a relaxed atmosphere.

Hard to see why this restaurant had good reviews in the past - was pretty awful food when I went. Had masala poppadom (with only a few bits of spicy onions on top), idli sambar (idlis tasted as if they were made from idli mix rather than fresh), aloo papadi chart (meant to be spicy potato dish in yogurt sauce but was seriously lacking in spices, fresh coriander, quality tamarind sauce, etc etc - tasteless and pretty bland; awful), chole puri (chole were ok and puris were good), and salted lassi (pretty awful). Lunch time all-you-can-eat buffet was meant to be on, but wasn't on the day I went obviously! Not going to go again I'm afraid.

Went there as it was recommended by my friend. I ordered one of their specials (a paneer dish) as a takeaway. It was not tasty, the consistency was watery and tasted like some sauce was added. Not sure if it was a fresh preparation, we received the order in less than 5minutes. Not sure if this is an issue with the dish ordered, however I would like the management to check the issue and hence posted it here. Looking for better dishes in future.

We went to try the food here as it was recommended by a family member with a view to hosting a larger party there at a future celebration. We ordered from the a la carte menu as they no longer do midday buffets during the week. I'm being very polite when I say the food was sub-standard, like warm and I think heated in a microwave, dosa looked cooked but was ice cold in places and mixture still wet - how do you even achieve a result like this! The place is clean and service and staff ok but I'm sorry to say I will not be returning or recommending to anyone.

Food was mild, bland and salty. Being Gujarati's; we were hoping for authentic flavours, however we were disappointed. The venue itself is clean and well decorated. The staff were lovely but the service was slow. We hope hope the restaurant will improve, however we will not be returning anytime soon.

we had the vegetarian buffet۔ this is a Gujarati/Indian eatery serving spicy foods۔ great choice of starters and mains۔ Nice atmosphere۔ Food tasty and authentic and the whole family enjoyed it۔
