I am shocked how many ethnic restaurants have either ""Americanized"" their food or simply have tried saving money and let the quality go. THe Maharani has stayed true to the flavour of the motherland. Each entree had a unique flavor that went well even when mixed together. The staff was great, always had refills before my drinks where low, food came out quick. The only complaint we had was the ice cream we ordered for dessert was too cold and we had to let it sit for a while to thaw out. On a price point, you have to pay for quality. I have been to a few Indian take-outs, where they are not using real cuts of chicken breast, or its basically mostly curry with a few piece of meat. At the Maharani it was a big portion with tons of meat with enough curry. Each entree was in the 12-14 dollar range, and each entree was enough for 2 and a half adults. The owner/manager came out to our table shortly after getting our food. He was a jolly old man, who told us how he got started and random facts about Indian food, such as what a tandori is.
I was shocked on how many Indians and other races where at the restaurant .
If you want real ethnic food, enjoy quality and want an experience, I would highly recommend the Maharani.
