Rani

An upmarket resturant. The service is excellent. The Buffet is definately recommended. But many of the dishes suffer from overuse of tomato concentrate. Still a good evening out.

I grew up in Finchley and my family and I have been going to Rani for years. The food is great. The buffet is fantastic value – it must be one of the best eat as much as you like deals in London. The only problem is that it's all too easy to eat far too much – I just want to try everything. I'm amazed there aren't more reviews on this site. If you haven't tried it, go. It's definitely not your average curry house. The decor could probably do with a bit of sprucing up, however.

We live just down the road from the restaurant and go there all the time. The food is very high quality and really tasty. The staff are very accomodating as well. The buffet is great - although the prices for the buffet have increased over the last couple of years, I still think it's good value - there's always a good range of food.

We have been going to Rani's now for about 20 years, but since they introduced the buffet we go a lot more often!

There are Indian Vegetarian Buffets and there are Indian Vegetarian Buffets. Rani's definitely is the king of them all. With a choice of about 7 hot and cold starters (including their excelent bel poori which is not to be missed), about 8 main courses, and 3 or 4 dessert, plus chutneys and salad, you definitely won't go hungry.

And the quality of the food is superb.

Many of the dishes are suitable for vegans and those dishes that do contain dairy are clearly marked.

Food is excellent but having prebooked our table, I could not believe it when we were shown to the table next to the lavatories, despite there being plenty of empty tables elsewhere in the restaurant. Not a good start to the evening!
