Tonight was my first visit to Maharana, although my wife has been to the buffet there multitudinous times over the years.
Wife had the Lamb Masala, I had Chicken Chile Masala. Maybe I was in an extra good mood because I just purchased my new awesome Rav4, and my elderly mother did not actually burn her house down when she placed her rice grain shoulder wrap in the microwave oven for twenty minutes...but I was completely enchanted.
The Chicken Chile Masala had a pleasant burn, with flavors of fresh ginger and (I think) cardamom. The portions were generous, but not crazy American generous. I will have plenty for my dinner tomorrow night.
The mango ice-cream was an unexpected treat which did not fail to delight.
The staff was friendly and the music was infectious.
We will definitely visit Maharana again.
