I tried Maharani with my family years ago, and decided to go back with my husband. We both love Indian food, but we usually visit the places closer to us in South Charlotte. I lived in India for a year and have visited many cities in North and South India. Indian food in the states is never as good as it is in India, but the food Maharani was a disappointment. The service was five star, very very good. The ambiance was great also. Perfect for a nice date. The samosas we got were really yummy, but Kahdai Murg and Aloo Matar were not very flavorful which is sad to say about Indian dishes. We ordered the medium hot.
This would be an ok place for a nice date and an introduction to Indian food, but we will stick to our usual places.
