Dining Out: Rangoli’s in Brantford
The Dining out Group likes to stay close to home in the winter months so we were delighted to learn about a new East Indian Restaurant in Brantford called Rangoli’s. The colourful art on the wall is joyful, as is the music. The food was delicious (a few of us were grateful for a dish of yogurt to cool down the tandoori dishes)! We recommend this restaurant for its good food, relaxed atmosphere, lovely setting and charming staff.
