| - Maharani is a pretty solid 3-stars in my book.
Considering Woodlands Indian is my most favorite restaurant in the world, Maharani had a lot to live up to...
Came here for the lunch buffet on a Friday, this place was packed! Normally, I'd be put off by the masses, but this just meant the buffet items were frequently replenished with fresh ones.
$9 for all you can eat Indian food is a great deal. There were 4 vegetarian dishes (yay!!!) and 2-3 chicken dishes. There was also jasmine rice, naan, sauces, salad, and rice pudding.
The food was good, but not great. It was tasty, but nothing amazing. It just didn't seem to be prepared with love and tedious care like I'm accustomed to at Woodlands. The naan was good, but not fluffy and not melt in your mouth like I prefer.
The service was mixed. The hostess and one other staff were a little cold and off-putting. But I had another staff who was so sweet and kind and accommodating (brought my friend and I an extra pitcher of water because we were wicked thirsty).
FYI - There's a BOGO coupon in the Charlotte Citipass book, but it doesn't apply to the lunch buffet.
