One Star: High quality cooking
This fine dining concept seems fit for a queen, and good thing too, since Rania translates to "queen" in Hindi and Sanskrit. They deliver something entirely enticing here with an inventive menu. There are plenty of contemporary touches along with a few surprises (think braised pork belly vindalooo). Dishes like shiso leaf chaat balance a playful spirit with elegant overtones, while ghee-roasted lamb folded inside a delicate lentil cheela has a spicy kick that is tempered with a buttermilk mousse. Finally, a slightly sweet, strained yogurt mousse with a hint of pistachio and cardamom is the perfect finale. Cocktails are designed to complement the rich, bold flavors.
