Food was delicious. Generous quantity. Paneer was melting in the mouth making paneer makhani very tasty. Only thing which they need to avoid is the food color. Clean restrooms. Ample parking & located near midtown park. Music was too loud inside the restaurant.

You can’t beat the Maharani lunch menu options. I had delicious Butter Chicken (red gravy/sauce) and my friend enjoyed the Tikka Masala (orange gravy/sauce)! Yeah, it’s in a cafeteria lunch tray but you won’t care about that at all when you taste the food! I get all the sauce with my roti! I especially like the spicy chic pea stuff today (I don’t know what to call it).

Disgusting!!! My mango lassi I ordered for pick up was spoiled!! The smell of it lets me know that whoever put it in the cups knew it was spoiled! I hope you guys get shut down asap; you’re going to make someone very sick.

We went on a weekday and it was not busy at all. We started with tomato Sorbet (soup). It was okay noting special about it. Had a vegetable curry, Veg biriyani and Roti. Curry was called paneer Kadhai, also not special. I felt the quantity was also slightly less for the price you paid, it came with plain rice. I will not recommend Veg. Biriyani, tasted more like veg. pulao. I think seasoning was not done right. Raita that came with Biriyani was super watery and seemed a little stale. Overall experience was 3/5.

Just ordered food from here for the first time and this is hands down the best Indian food I have ever experienced. We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, samosas and basmati rice and after the first bite of the butter chicken I knew this meal was going to be good. Whatever they’re doing at Maharani, keep doing it. Because I can tell you I will definitely be back. How this place only has a 3.9 star rating, I have absolutely no idea but it needs to be 5.

Friendly staff with quick service! I was amazed at how flavorful and delicious the Lentil Soup was! Definitely a must try! My friend & I shared the Assorted Bread Basket; yum! It had garlic Naan, roti and a 3rd type, I forgot. They were ALL delicious!! My friend had Butter Chicken and I tasted the sauce … it blew me away!! Incredibly delicious!! I had the Seafood Dish, lunch portion, which was huge! The seafood was scallops, salmon & shrimp in this Curry type sauce that awoke all my taste buds! It was mouthwatering!! It came with basmati rice & some sort of Curry Veggie fritter … both scrumptious!! I can’t wait to return and try other dishes!! You must try this place, you won’t regret it!! Also, the prices are extremely reasonable! My seafood lunch dish was $13!! My friend’s butter chicken was $11 and I think the bread basket was $7. Not bad at all.

I had the lamb mango with meat samosa and garlic naan. The food was delicious, however, I told them I wanted it spicy but didn’t get that. They gave me the spice on the side.
