Rani — Restaurant in Vienna

The Rani Restaurant is a great northern Indian Restaurant, and very reasonable when you choose to go to Rani weekdays during lunch time, since the soup and the rice are included in the already very reasonable Chicken Curry deal for 7.50 Euros. The portion is big for lunch menu standards and the meal also features a yogurt sauce and sweet polenta. By the way the soup, at least on my visit, was a lentil soup, but I guess the Rani varies with the soup. There are also other lunch offers which are reasonable.

As for the hotness of the Chicken Curry I would say it's all relative, but since I don't like hot dishes, the degree of hotness of the Chicken Curry at Rani is in the lower midrange. I had spicier Chicken Curries but also milder ones. So if you want to have it real hot, you better go for another meal, but don't expect anything close of a Korma or something, as this Chicken Curry is somewhat spicy, as it is supposed to be. But again as a person who don't like hot stuff too much, in terms of hotness I found Rani's Chicken Curry definitely bearable and delicious in a slightly hot way.

Inside the Rani the interior is quite impressive, featuring a huge 'golden' elephant as well as many nice pictures in Indian folklore style supported by relaxing Indian instrumental music.

The staff is friendly and willing to help and the ambience as well as the composition of colors is very well done and stylish.

From Vienna with love! Dr. Dr....

Quite a good interaction and happiness spread in the restaurant. Too much joyful and pleasant experience. Ambience 5 🌟 Crowd 5 🌟 Services 4 🌟 Time taken for food preparation was little longer.. We went at this place to get Indian food at a cost effective price thinking that we are gonna manage it. But we were surprised with the taste of the food and th hospitality. It's a 45 year old restaurant in Vienna near Volkstheater with too much sweetness in the people's nature. Food Taste 5 🌟 Active and Joyous environment make your more hungrier. Quality 5 🌟 Quantity 5 🌟 Value for Money 💰 totally Must try Garlic Chili Paneer 🌟 🤩 Biryani or Chicken Biryani felt okay although spices were smelling good but maybe it was due to take out. You will get a pure Indian Spicy Taste with Maharani Thali. Special Thanks to the waiter from Rampur, who provided waittressing services and little joking around. Will surely go back there again once I visit Vienna. We tried 2 restaurants in a 2 day journey to Vienna and as for taste buds with different places. I would surely recommend anyone who love the taste of spices in...

Please do not waste your time and money by going there.

Very bad restaurant with ordinary food and pathetic service. We went for a dinner in a group on May 2025 and our experience was totally disappointing. Despite less busy, the service and staffs attitude was very bad. We had to wait for 5 min for each request and order. The gentle (aged) lady, may be at the managerial post or owner, was arranging the cutleries nearby tables, however did not care that we were waiting for someone's help. There are two possibilities: 1) either their attitude is same for all and ignorant..or 2) their attitude varies depends on the origin of the customers. For any case, it's not a great experience.

We ordered chicken biriyani and set meals, but the taste was pathetic as per the cost and other Indian restaurants in Vienna. Overall, we won't recommend anyone...
