Rani’s World Foods

I come here (and International Marketplace) to find specialty items you won’t find anywhere else unless you buy online. Super glad for these establishments…

The BEST Indian grocery store in Las Vegas! Great prices; expansive selection of spices, lentils, rice and cookies! I found a cast iron wok in several sizes; without the aluminum coating is the better selection of the two. I cooked in it and used it as a serving dish. It keeps food hot for a longer period and I LOVE my food HOT! The naan is the best I’ve yet to find not only here in Vegas but in the PNW.

Good Food… Good Pricing!!!

It is so hard to find home style Indian food in Vegas. But after all Vegas is all about rich food. Luckily, we were able to find this restaurant and we loved it so much. It’s 4 – 5 miles from the strip but a good spot to get some lunch or snacks. It is an ideal spot to eat some food if you have visitors from India. They will not be disappointed with their food.
We ordered combos and it included 2 curries, dal, 2 rotis, rice, and salad. The curries tasted good and rotis were fresh. The other day we went to try their chaat and it was delicious.
They have a small sitting area so you can eat in. The space is small and it was crowded during lunch time. However, it is very easy to find seating if you are going for evening snacks.
This place is located in an Indian store so it is very easy to grab some beverages with your meal from the store. However, its payment is at the store entrance, which is different from the food payment area. Plaza that has this store has a lot of parking but it get tight during lunch time and on holidays.

Happy to have this place. A lot of things well organized and the place is clean-​considering it’s in an old commercial center building. The two employees I interacted with were nice. A small kitchen/​restaurant in the back of the store and a few tables for dining. Sweets are available as well! I like to get the variety pack of sweets; sold by the pound. There are many jewelry, decorations, statuary and other imported items.

Best and fresh Indian Food. Those who have allergies (onion and garlic) will find a great relief that they do serve food without onion and garlic. There is an Indian grocery store along with this place so you can also purchase snacks and eat along with your menu items. Staff is also very friendly and price of the food is reasonable.

I went there to pick some Indian cinnamon for some tea. I walked into the store. The smell from eating area took hold of my senses. I did not know what was being cooked but it smelled heavenly! I ventured over to see what was cooking. No one was available to answer my questions. So I went to get the cinnamon the cashier told me where to find it. I got it and it was fine. I wish I could have had help in the hot food section. Overall it was okay.

I was stoked and pleased when Rani’s first open… it was clean and had the ingredients to make my childhood favorites. However, my recent purchases over this past year were not fresh, for example, the flour I purchased was stale, and the produce is one step away from full out rotten. More recently, the cashier/​manager/​storekeeper was really not helpful when I politely asked if there were any carts. She just pointed at a basket. A basket doesn’t work when you are going to re-​try buy that bag of flour to replace the first one that was stale (I was optimistic), and also a bag of rice. A nice «American» lady walks in they handed her a cart. Thanks, but no thanks. Now that I can get most things online and my regular big-​chain grocery for cheaper, I chose to do that versus get products and produce that are stale from lack of turnover. I wonder why? The service is selective at best.

I visited here four times. A very good place for Indian vegetarian. Authentic indian taste.
Prices are reasonable, and the area is clean. We definitely go there when we go to Vegas.
Recomended — Yes.

Amazing grocery selection. I used to have to stop at two stores to get supplies for Arabic & Indian cooking, but this place has all the basics. Wish they had a better bread selection.
Also tried a samosa and it was spectacular.

I originally came here years ago for black salt. It’s the cheapest best value. The place on Maryland although nice, just wasn’t the quality I was looking for. I also got tired of paying $ 8 for two ounces for the stuff on Amazon.
Since my black salt findings I have also bought lots of:
Chickpea flour. Yes it’s not organic, but it’s really good quality. Great for those gluten free fans. I personally just like it better and love the way it binds and coats.
Turmeric. You can get it in a huge container here. In smoothies, scrambles, entrees, we each eat at least ¼tsp a day. We use it everyday so it can add up quick. Did you know you can use is as a tooth whitener!!! Nope I haven’t tried it yet.
Incense. I buy my incense here. Great quality and good selection. I don’t burn it hardly ever, but I like to have a vase of it sitting around and smelling yummy.
Music. I love the music and they play it kinda loud and I like that. Great energy.
Produce. Meh I’m not a fan! Most visits it doesn’t look fresh to me. Maybe I’m just used to the obnoxious carefully plucked perfect overpriced organics at Whole Foods. I should give them another glance…
Tapioca starch, potato starch, and allllll the spices are here.
Snacks. The random crunchy snacks isle is always tempting but I love roasting my own chickpeas and crunchies so I try to stay away from that isle.
The Café. My veg friends say you can get really good lunches and veggie pocket yummies… oh and free chai tea. I haven’t tried these in house made items yet. I will defiantly update this when I do.
Oh and the customer service is great. Very nice and helpful. Always answering my odd questions that I have with a smile :)

This place has the best indian food — it is unique to a lot of indian restaurants in the US. It has the home made touch and the food is delicious. I have never been disappointed and the free chai helps:)

The food is good, but it’s wayyy too salty.
The food is good, but the service sucks.
Sometimes when I go there, they just ignore you and leave you standing there at the counter.
I thought it would be obvious. I’m reading the menu, I’m standing at the counter, I want to order food. A couple of times I’ve even had to call the lady over. Then she tells me they don’t have any bread ready that I have to wait for them to prepare it. Hey, it’s lunchtime, you’re serving food, people come at lunch to eat, wouldn’t you think they would have it ready? All of the rest of the food is, and I guess that’s the basis of my frustration. The food is ready! It’s cooked and sitting there, all you have to do is put it in a container and let me pay :-/​
I still go there sometimes, but only when I have a lot of time to waste, and don’t have anywhere to be.

Best indian food I have ever had, special ingredient used is love of uncle and Aunty,

Excellent little ethnic Indian supermarket tucked away in a strip mall. They have all kinds of rice, spices and snacks you won’t easily find anywhere else! There is also a hot foods section. Prices are reasonable, and the area is clean. Of course, there is a strong smell of Indian type spices, but what do you think they sell here???

Had lunch here, yesterday, just a really good solid Indian vegetarian eatery.
Good menu, staple Indian fare items on the menu, very well cooked and presented in a fast food set-​up. Pricing is spot-​on with real quick service. Yes it’s clean and tidy to have a quick veggie lunch — authentic taste. I should also mention, here, it a Indian super market too — shop for your ethics ingredients after lunch. Good place, highly recommended

We’ve been driving past this place for a good year and finally we decided to check it out. I love Indian food but don’t know a ton about it, so it’s always fun to browse and look at everything.
Previously I was looking for mango and lime pickles, and chutneys. I was happy to find a decent selection at International Marketplace, and that was my go to spot for everything I couldn’t find elsewhere. Well come to find out Rani’s has TONS more selection and their prices are better too! My pic of the chutney/​pickle/​sauce aisle doesn’t even cover half of what they offer! Since I’m new to cooking Indian, it’s great to have a huge selection of pre made spice/​sauce packs to add to whatever kind of meat you want to cook. Easier than buying all the different spices and not getting the ratios right.
They also have a huge freezer section. Not only do they have frozen naan and roti, but also paratha, sheermal, chapatti, bhature, taftan, what? I don’t even know what most of those are but they are all types of flatbread.
And for those looking for it, there is an entire row of Sri Lankan food, but I don’t know anything about that, yet!
Haven’t tried the café, but maybe next time. Aisles are organized and uncluttered and it smells great inside with all those spices in there.

I was super early to work and didn’t want to arrive too early. I bookmarked this store last year. Since I was in the area I visited this morning as soon as they opened at 10am. My visit wasn’t bad at all. I have more of an interest in Japanese food but Indian food and products have always made me curious.
Rani’s is like your normal ethnic store with food, mini restaurant, and a bit of accessories.
I was hoping to try the jalebi or other Indian sweets in the restaurant but since I arrived early there wasn’t any prepared.
I still would love to try some of the Indian food but it would be best to come back at lunch time.

Totally amazed that this place offers free chai with a meal! The Thali was super tasty and the price was just right. Plenty of food and a all veg assortment of food.
Tons of groceries you can pick up as well.
This place is a must visit when you miss home cooked veg meal. I can now leave in peace back to LA.

This city has a million ethnic specialty grocers: this one stands apart from the pack a little. In addition to a smörgåsbord of Indian spices, rices, and teas, they have jewelry, accessories, and some kitchenware as well.
Food sections also include Mediterranean aisle and a British/​English foods row. Unfortunately, the produce is not particularly fresh but they have tons of sweets from nearly every culture here.
The food counter on the right hand side of the store sells vegetarian indian foods: mostly paneers, dosas, and chaats. The samosas are tasty and the chutneys and other sauces are no joke. Pricing is good, just wish they offered a bit more and weren’t necessarily limited to a vegetarian menu.
Insider note; they have 6 locations of Rani’s, this is the only one in LV and there’s another in Houston with the rest in California.
