How to book Rania

  1. Book directly on OpenTable

    Rania takes reservations on OpenTable. Start there: pick your party size and date, and book any time that works. OpenTable lists it as Fine Dining, dress code: business casual.

  2. Be flexible on the night and time

    Prime-time weekend tables at Rania go first. Weeknights, early seatings and late seatings are the easiest to find.

  3. Watch for cancellations

    When Rania shows nothing open, plans still change. Tables come back when other diners cancel, often a day or two ahead, and they go fast.

  4. Let TableWatch watch for you

    Set the nights, time window and party size in the TableWatch app. We check OpenTable around the clock and push you the moment a matching table opens. You book it on OpenTable in your own account.
