An Indian restaurant in the city centre has received a big award from TripAdvisor for their excellent food.
Rana’s is a South Indian restaurant on Netherhall Road, they recently won the Travellers’ Choice Award 2026 from TripAdvisor.
The huge achievement is made even more impressive as Rana’s has only been open for 15 months.
We visited the restaurant to learn what makes them special and found a true gem in the Doncaster food scene.
General Manager Fahmida Amin Rupa is extremely passionate about brining an authentic Indian experience to her customers.
She told us: “We are a very modern Indian restaurant, if you want to try something out of the ordinary we have many specials.
“But we also serve the classics that you are familiar with.
“We are thrilled to be recognised by TripAdvisor, it is a big achievement for the whole Rana’s team who worked relentlessly to make it possible.”
The award puts Rana’s in TripAdvisor's top 10% worldwide.
Head Chef Ronit Singa told us why he believed they won the award.
He said: “We want to serve authentic food, whenever we cook we make it with our heart.
“People can come here and taste real Indian food.
“I am really grateful for the award and to get this kind of recognition.
“I think if we continue our hard work we will receive many more awards in the future.”
The restaurant wants to thank all of its customers for their support since they opened.
Fahmida said: “Our regulars and their support are what made this possible.
“We are sometimes overwhelmed by the love we get from local people.
“People choose to celebrate big events here with us such as birthdays, anniversaries and we even once had a wedding reception.”
Fahmida told us of a couple who have eaten at Rana’s more than 50 times who recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary there.
“It meant so much that they chose to spend it here with us,” she continued.
“They told us we are the best Indian they have ever been to.”
The restaurant itself is decorated with bright and colourful artwork, the food bursts with flavour and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
