A very pleasant Saturday night surprise, not having been for many years, and finding it had changed ownership 6 years ago and moved to premises across the road. The staff were friendly and helpful - both during my phone call to adjust our arrival time, and on the night in explaining the menu and how the buffet service worked. I particularly liked the clear content/allergen labeling both on the menu and in the buffet area itself. We chose the buffet option, which provided a good selection of items for a very reasonable price- though it appears the buffet is only available before 9pm. Staff were attentive , removing empty plates promptly and, unlike some restaurants, waited to be asked for the bill. We were surprised it was not more crowded, though were told that Sundays are much busier. Thoroughly recommended.

The food and service at Rani's are always excellent. The buffet has a good selection of cold starters, including excellent onion bhajis, and hot mains - lovely pilau rice with cashews and a delicious aubergine and potato curry, among several other delicious curries and lots of chutneys (I love the coriander chutney). Price for the buffet is very reasonable. I really love that they have such clear labelling for food allergies/intolerances. It makes things so much easier. And there's plenty to satisfy the gluten free, vegans in our family. (One thing I wonder though, is why there are no poppadoms on the buffet? - but there are poppadoms on the menu) Rani's is a family favourite of ours!

The food was good the waiter was wonderful but I think for vegetarian food this was a bit on the expensive side which was a bit disappointing. I've been to other Indian cuisine restaurants which really give value for money.

We like Rani's a lot. Have been there several times. My sister, who has many Indian friends, says it is not a good as home cooked Indian food but that is to be expected. The staff are efficient and kind and the price is reasonable. The atmosphere is relaxed. The place looks nice. I am happy with the food and there is a good range between very spicy and very mild. And there are plenty of vegan options.

Fabulous choice of fresh delicious food. So nice to get the all-you-can-eat buffet - loads of starters, dal, main courses, lovely fresh fruit salad all for £15. Friendly, helpful staff. There were a couple of large parties making it very noisy and a long queue for food - but can't blame the restaurant for being popular! And the waitress was thoughtful enough to commiserate with us on the noise. Easy to park - even on a Saturday night. Loved it.

Food was hot, tasty and a fair amount of choices. Clean place with friendly staff but it was very quiet on this occasion. Usually it is fairly busy. Price is middle range.

Good ambiance and a warm greeting from the staff although we arrived n an icy snowy day. Very attentive waitress, perhaps too much. Food pleasant but not startling but a good combination of soft and crispy dishes. ood not exckting. We were a large group of vegans, vegetarians and carnivores and there were sufficient dishes to give everyone a good choice

Great food, with so much choice. Very quiet at lunchtime, which was good as I have hearing problems. Would have liked a hot/warm plate rather than a cold one.

The restaurant is spacious and comfortable. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. We had the buffet lunch with Masala Dosas that were cooked fresh and brought to the table. We will all certainly return.
