• Indian • Auburn Hills

The birth of classic cuisine in India can be attributed largely to necessity. As early civilizations sought ways to preserve their food, they discovered a large family of ingredients that would not only preserve food but would also promote good health. Blending these amazing spices became an art form over time. Achieving the perfect proportion of spices is absolutely vital to the creation of authentic, delicious Indian dishes.Rangoli was opened in 2000, by sisters Rashmi Rughani and Varsha Makhecha. Joined by Chef Gill, the dream of owning a restaurant became a reality. With help from their husbands and business partners, Jagdish and Amit, the restaurant grew to include Catering Services, On-site Banquet Facility, and Rangoli Express

It was my family’s first time there and we were absolutely thrilled. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the cocktails were divine and the food was incredible. We were so fortunate to have Ava taking care of us - she’s knowledgeable, personable, approachable, fun and still professional. She’s was an amazing addition to our special evening and a big plus for your establishment. We can’t wait to come back!
