I am a regular at Maharani. Not only have I lived across the street for the last 3 years, I am a huge fan of Indian food. The buffet is a particular treat - pricey on the weekends especially, but well worth it for the lovely variety of rices, gravy dishes, and appetizers.
The only downfall of Maharani is their service. Not terribly unusual or awful, but a couple times I had to go and find my waiter to get my glass of water refilled. Mostly they are relatively attentive, and I will keep going back because the food is WELL worth it.
