About

The professional team at Rangoli has been catering functions in the Washington DC metropolitan area for over twenty years. Once entrusted with the responsibilities, we work with you to make sure every event is memorable for you and your guests. Your satisfaction equals a satisfying and pleasant experience for us.

We cater from small 20 people get-togethers to large 2000 people public events. Whether it is a lavish wedding or just a quaint engagement; a corporate seminar or an office meeting; a graduation party or a bachelor’s party; an upanayanam or a seemandam; or even your permanent residency party, no catering is too big or small for us.

Recently relocated to a newer, bigger space in Manassas, we are able to service any location in the greater Washington metropolitan area.

Please give us a call at (703) 957-4900 or (571)278-5477 and cross out all aspects of catering off of your “to-do-list”.

Exceptional Caterer

My family and I loved working with Kumar for our wedding and reception catering! Rangoli catered breakfast and lunch for our traditional Tamil Brahmin wedding ceremony, our reception dinner, as well as dinner during our mehendi/sangeet event. We had an elaborate weekend event with several moving parts and ~300 guests at our ceremony and reception. Kumar is an exceptionally experienced professional who helped us coordinate the necessary logistics, menus, and timelines for all these events. He was timely, professional, courteous to all our guests as well as vendors. He is also incredibly creative and enthusiastic, and is always happy to take on new challenges and help bring your vision to life. We worked with him to create a diverse vegetarian menu across our various events - chaat and dosa stations for the mehendi, a full South Indian thali for the wedding, and North Indian entrees for the reception. The most wonderful thing about working with Kumar is that come the day of the event, the food and drinks run like clockwork in the background while you can focus on other aspects of your event- Kumar takes care of everything to perfection, the set-up and execution are flawless, and the food is always spectacular. We received rave reviews from our guests about the quality and selection of the food, and my family and I were incredibly happy with Rangoli's service. I highly recommend Kumar and his team for your wedding ceremony and reception catering needs!

The food was excellent and the service outstanding. This was our first time planning a wedding and we forgot several minor items. Kumar and his staff went beyond his responsibilities to ensure the event was a success.

Excellent Catering Service

Kumar and his team went above and beyond to ensure the success of our sons engagement party. As a Caterer, Kumar was responsive to all of my questions and provided guidance along the way. They arrived on time for the event and were setup in time for our, despite some barriers. His team was dressed and behaved in a very professional manner to meet the needs of our guest. Kumar, himself, assured me that I could leave and get ready and that he would make sure everything was ready, prior to our guest arrival. since the venue was outdoors, I was assigning one of my family members to light candles when it turned dark, Kumar stepped up and assured me that his team would light the candle so that we could enjoy the event. He even provided special Jain food for my mother and proceeded to serve her, while encouraging me to enjoy the even. Kumar treated my son engagement as if it was for his own family. I would HIGHLY recommend Kumar and his team to anyone that needs catering.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
