Best Indian Restaurants in Mount Rainier

We loved the Nirvana appetizer (one if a kind imagination of Indian street food)

An unforgettable night at Rania DC We recently celebrated a special occasion at Rania, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. It was my husband Sam’s first Michelin-star dining experience, and the team made it unforgettable from start to finish. We chose the Rania Signature offering—an 8-course guided culinary experience paired with the wine pairing—and every course was a revelation. The flavors were bold, imaginative, and perfectly balanced, and the sommelier’s selections elevated the entire evening. The team guided us through each dish and pour with care and enthusiasm, ensuring we felt both celebrated and completely immersed in the experience. Whether you’re marking a milestone or just love exceptional, creative cuisine, Rania is hands down one of the best places to dine in DC. We can’t wait to return.

Great DC lunch spot for business meetings and colleague catch up. Wait staff accomdating - they are observant and respond to needs promptly.

Was a pleasure once again celebrating my birthday Eve at my favorite Indian restaurant.

Excellent food and service. Drinks were well made and not weak (bonus) had the samosoas (lamb) and we shared the GOAT platter - and even brought some home. Garlic Naan bread was excellent and just the right amount of garlic. Everything was excellent. Service was superb!
