We were in Georgetown on a Wednesday and decided to try this restaurant because we love Indian food and it had fantastic reviews; we weren’t disappointed.
Rangoli Indian has a beautiful and easy-to-view website online via pc and smartphone. Reservations can be made online; we didn’t use this feature.
There is plenty of free parking on the street and in the adjacent parking lot, both have a maximum two-hour parking time restriction. We only noticed the free customer parking sign, which leads you to the rear of the building, after we left.
The restaurant is located inside an older home-style building that is shared with other business tenants. There is a shared basement washroom that is relatively clean.
Rangoli Indian seats approximately 26 people on comfortable padded chairs inside a nicely decorated and clean area. Our host was friendly and attentive. We order the Monsoon Basket and Samosas 3 pcs for our appetizers. Both came in a boat-style serving plate with a sweet chutney sauce; it was somewhat difficult to scoop the sauce because of the narrow width of the sauce tray. Both appetizers and the sauce were delicious and flavourful! Our entrees were Paneer Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice and Bhindi Masala along with Garlic Naan. The flavors were outstanding! The heat spice is customizable to however you like it. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being crazy spicy hot, I ordered an eight and loved the fact that the heat spices were definitely present but did not interfere with the overall flavor. I have a big and healthy appetite and despite the visual serving portion size, I can say the serving size was more than adequate and left me feeling full. As we were dining, we noticed several people come in to take their take-out orders, which indicates a strong supportive customer base.
Rangoli Indian Restaurant also goes by the name The Bridgewood; the name on the credit card receipt and the name listed out front of the building. The “Tip Guide” located on the bottom portion of the printed receipt is based on the total price, which includes the HST tax; technically, tips are supposed to be based on pre-tax.
We would definitely recommend this restaurant to all...
Read moreMy mother and I went for lunch today for the first time at Rangoli Indian Restaurant, (where the Bridgewood used to be).
The food was absolutely phenomenal. I have eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants over the years and this one is in my top 3.
I started with the samosas as an appetizer and I would go back JUST for those alone! They were probably the best samosas I've ever had. They were fried to perfection, super crispy and pipingly hot but not greasy at all. The filling was perfectly spiced to be slightly spicy but not overpoweringly so.
For my main meal I went with the korma chicken with a side of plain rice and 2 naans, one each of the butter and the garlic.
Let's start with the naans. SO good! They were so well cooked. The butter naan had the perfect ratio of butter and wasnt greasy or dripping with it. The garlic naan was so good and it had a ton of garlic on the naan itself which I dont usually see (which is awesome cause there is no such thing as too much garlic lol!) They were crispy while also being soft and just over all the perfect addition to my meal.
The rice was..... well rice lol. It was well cooked and they made it look pretty with a little garnish.
Now. The chicken korma was probably the best authentic korma I've ever had. I ordered it medium spicy. It was delicious with a good kick of spice at the end of each bite. I loved that it was well spiced and wasn't dumbed down for the average Canadian palate. You could taste that the korma sauce had been handmade with authentic spices. It's definitely not something you would get at just any old restaurant.
The staff were attentive and wonderful to talk to, while also being respectful and keeping their distance when needed. The perfect balance.
Basically it was amazing and so so delicious and if you enjoy Indian food at ALL, you NEED to try Rangoli at least once!
Absolutely recommend, 5 stars, please visit and tell...

We came in for lunch the other day and were very pleasantly surprised! The waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive. Immediately we made him aware of my wife’s dairy allergy which was perfectly understood.
Initially we were unsure of what to order but he pointed out all of the dairy free options available. We ordered the Gobi Aloo, Chicken Saag, Monsoon Basket, chili garlic momos, garlic naan and roti (since he informed us that the naan contained dairy). Each of the dishes were excellent and incredibly tasty, the chicken in the saag was still tender and juicy which can often be a concern. The garlic naan was the best garlic naan I’ve had in an Indian restaurant for some time and my wife said the roti was amazing because it wasn’t dry which she finds is often the case with roti at other restaurants.
The only concern that I would bring up is that for us their drinks menu was lacking a cider option, as neither of us are beer/wine drinkers. That said, we greatly appreciated the water since the dishes had just the right amount of zip to them.
Even better, the leftovers the next day were just as good, including the leftover naan and roti.
I would strongly recommend coming here if you enjoy Indian food, as it is delicious and the service was fantastic!
Highly recommended.
P.S. I would have taken pictures but the food was soo good it didn’t last long enough and I never...
