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”.

Excellent Service

We enjoyed working with Rangoli. Kumar was extremely helpful in not only providing catering services, but also provided valuable inputs to the wedding reception of our friends. He and his team were very professional and service exceeded my expectations. We approached Rangoli just few days before the event and I was amazed at the speed at which he put together a plan and communicated at every step in providing 5 star catering services. The guests were very happy with the food and services.

Exceeded Every Expectation!

From the moment we contacted them, Kumar and his team have been exceptional with communication, honesty, and flexibility. When I called Kumar for the first time, he was driving and literally pulled over just to talk with me and began taking notes. He was extremely friendly and clearly has a wealth of experience and passion for this business.

Kumar was also the most professional and honest operator I had ever worked with and gave me suggestions on ways I could save money, such as giving me detailed instructions on how I could get my own dinnerware or drinks if I didn’t need him to provide it. The prices were already lower than almost every other caterer we considered, and at every opportunity, he found ways to make the deal even better, such as reducing the number of servers I needed if he felt it was unnecessary. When Kumar came to tour the reception hall to prepare, I mentioned how I wasn’t sure how to arrange the tables around the hall, and he immediately came up with an excellent plan for me using his years of experience.

On the day before the wedding, we dropped off a haphazard collection of disposable dinnerware, napkins, and menus. Kumar and his team were able to use the dinnerware I provided in such a creative and elegant way. I couldn’t stop admiring their work when I saw what they had done for the day. They considered every little detail and executed it with perfection.

The food itself was excellent, and the guests were impressed by it all too! Many said it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten. They have a vast menu to choose from and provided so much customization to make things exactly how we wanted it. While I wasn’t there to see it, my coordinator was also impressed by their speed and efficiency in transitioning from cocktail hour to dinner.

I knew Rangoli was going to do a good job, but they did better than I could have imagined. I recommend them to everyone! Truly exceptional!

Professional & delicious Indian catering

Rangoli catered a lunch after a Hindu wedding ceremony for a crowd of both Indian and non-Indian guests to great success. Kumar was very responsive and helped us plan snacks to keep our guests fed before our ceremony and a later lunch. His team on the day of our wedding was very professional, and the food was delicious. We especially recommend the chai, mango mousse, and live jalebi station!

A positive experience from every angle!

We hired Rangoli as the outside caterer for our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner which was held at a Marriott Hotel. Kumar, the owner of Rangoli was exceptionally attentive from the time we signed the contract. He stayed in touch to make sure we were comfortable with the menu and was open to making changes if we needed. On the day of the rehearsal dinner, Kumar and his crew arrived on time and set up everything in style. Our guests raved about the dinner entree items and relished every bit of what was served. It was evident that Rangoli has years of professional experience catering large events with high professionalism. Thank you Kumar!

Rangoli did an EXCELLENT job catering for our wedding at the Peabody Library. At our tasting, they were very attentive and made sure we made selections that not only we liked, but that our guests would thoroughly enjoy. They were very professional and accommodating of several intricacies/rules involved with our venue and did a greaty job staying on schedule. We love them and our guests loved them!

Wedding reception catering

Kumar and the entire Rangoli staff were incredible. From the day we first spoke with them to the event day, they were so nice to work with. Their prices are incredibly fair and the food is fantastic - they provide so many dishes for a very reasonable price. Kumar even took the time to come to our walk through at the venue so he was aware of where to place tables for cocktail hour/dinner. Everyone I spoke to loved the food and we had leftovers for days. They even brought an extra dish at our cocktail hour. Our guests also said the service was impeccable. We will definitely use Rangoli for future catering needs.

Good food, good variety, good catering terms, excellent service and very accomodating!

Mr Iyer is a very professional and nice person to work with, not only understanding the customer's needs but also pointing out potential flaws in planning suggesting better ones. He is good at listening and offers very flexible accomodations. We had a very pleasant experience with him and would highly recommend them for any catering needs.

Best Food with Topmost Service

We hired Rangoli for our son’s wedding in Cambridge, Maryland. Kumar was amazing and helped us every step of the way, from our initial call of planning, preparation to execution during wedding. He helped us decide the menu for each event. We had catered total of 8 meal for the wedding between 75 to over 300 people and he served each menu with same high quality of food. Our guest loved all the delicious food items. Kumar provided the topmost service throughout the process. He even helped with setting up a separate table for people who I had ordered home cooked food. I would definitely hire Kumar and his team for any future event.
