I LOVE MAHARANI IT IS THE BEST INDIAN PLACE EVER
Still the best Indian restaurant in Charlotte with very reasonable prices, and yes, we have visited all of them!
A little irritated the samosas were missed in the order
Always reliably tasty and delicious
Great good. Reccomend the garlic naan. They're fast too
Maharani is a staple for us. It?s delicious, consistent, and the people are gracious.
Delicious palak paneer and quick takeout service!
Samosa tastes so good as usual .. The Veg Biriyani was not as expected. Was too spicy and rice used was not long basmati which was disappointed! The paneer in the paneer tikka was too too hard that we were not able to cut through the forks ! Though the food was too colorful and looked yummy. , but alas when we tasted it was not up to the mark! We had some good paneer last year so was expecting the same. The taste needs to be improved!!
Unfortunately our whole order lacked flavor:( We were very disappointed because we have been visiting this restaurant for years.
Amazing as always.
The chicken was very dry and the food was way over salted
Saucy. 5 stars
The website changed our order, giving us 3 of the same entree when we ordered one, no bread, and two missing entrees. We view this as a website problem. We both double checked the order prior to hitting send. The food was still excellent however. Has anyone else had this problem?
Excellent!
A great mix of flavours
Very tasty food and efficient service
Food was delicious. Online ordering is easy and food was ready in a timely manner.
Always good food.,lamb chops, tandoori appetizer and aloo gobi
Excellent Taste , felt as if we are in India. Gulab jamun is our all time favorite in Maharani Indian restaurant
Great food as always.
No complaints, everything was as ordered and tasted great!
Delicious!
Real good
Delicious food. Filling and satisfying and didn't feel unhealthy. Will absolutely eat here again.
Portions were small for the price, not very flavorful and could not select spicy level.
Excellent food as always
Excellent food! Will definitely return!
Amazing!!!
Food was fabulous. The wait to pick up? 30 minutes later than anticipated when I ordered!
Maharani has consistently superb food and service!
The Naan was thin and crispy in sections. The Chicken 65 tasted and cut fine, but left a lot to be desired compared to other places I?ve had.
I have been eating at Maharani for many years, and it never fails to be delicious. We have many family celebrations there. Lots of vegetarian options, and consistently very nice personnel.
I got chicken tikka masala, dal and naan. It was perfect. My two year old even ate it.
The food is never consistent in flavor or amounts. For the prices of the food it should be the same amount and flavor each time.
DId not care for dark meat chicken, sauce excellent
Ordered spicy Kurma but I believe they just added more salt to try make it spicier. Our other oredr of tikka masala was probably a 3-4 star but thfirst order was not the best
Great meal!
Very poor food. Not recommend at all
The chicken was dry and the sauce bland -- not at all what we are accustomed to getting from Maharani.
Wonderful! We ordered for a team lunch. Everything was great from the taste to the service.
Food excellent
Food was ready and delicious
The food was. FYI: Spice levels are Mild, Medium, Hot.
Excellent food! Really enjoy the garlic naan for dipping into the sauces.
Maharani was incredibly delicious and on time!!
Food was amazing. Thank you!
Food was packaged well. Some of the dishes lacked the authentic flavors.
I have had much better. Probably will not order again from them.
Very good food
Excellent! Good is always great!
