At RANG, Indian cuisine is expressed through nuance rather than intensity. Rooted in heritage yet shaped by global experience, this Da Nang restaurant offers a contemporary vision of Indian dining that is lighter in touch, layered in meaning, and closely attuned to Vietnam’s evolving and sophisticated culinary sensibility.
There is a sense of intention that defines RANG, revealed not through spectacle but through detail. Conceived as a celebration of India’s culinary diversity rather than its familiar shorthand, RANG approaches Indian cuisine as a living language shaped by memory, movement and place.
At the heart of the restaurant is Chef Sohan, co owner and head chef, whose decade long journey through international kitchens from India to Europe has informed a culinary perspective that is both global and deeply personal. His cooking favours restraint over excess. Spices are layered with sensitivity, never overwhelming, allowing ingredients to retain clarity and balance. The result is a menu that feels contemporary in structure while remaining emotionally grounded in Indian culinary tradition.
RANG’s identity is defined by balance and discernment. Familiar elements such as chaat, tandoor and curry are revisited through modern technique and local sensibility. Dishes are lighter in composition, more refined in execution, and often shaped by Vietnamese produce and seasonality. This is not reinvention for novelty’s sake, but a considered pursuit of clarity, where flavours are precise, textures deliberate, and presentation quietly composed.
The dining room reflects the same philosophy. Warm and intimate, the space encourages conversation and lingering rather than display. Service is attentive and measured, reinforcing an experience that feels cohesive from beginning to end and allowing the cuisine to remain the central voice.
In 2025, RANG was recognised as Best Indian Restaurant at the Gourmet Vietnam Awards, affirming its role in shaping a more contemporary understanding of Indian cuisine within Vietnam’s dining landscape.
Ultimately, RANG does not seek to redefine Indian dining through drama or excess. Instead, it offers a modern expression rooted in respect, discipline and depth, inviting diners to encounter Indian cuisine as something lighter, more thoughtful and quietly enduring.
