Maharani in Cambridge

Really good quality food , friendly people

Bajis cold, chicken rogan josh, chicken tough, rice rubbish, overall never will use again. Nothing even tasty. Lesrn to cook!

I'm glad asked for a review of Maharani Indian Takeaway's Chicken Tikka and Biryani. Let me tell you, they are absolutely delicious! The Chicken Tikka is perfectly marinated and grilled, resulting in tender and flavorful pieces of chicken. And the Biryani? It's a fragrant and flavorful rice dish with aromatic spices and tender meat. The combination of flavors in both dishes is simply amazing. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine, you definitely won't be disappointed with Maharani Indian Takeaway's Chicken Tikka and Biryani. Enjoy your meal! 🍗🍚🌶️

I'm so excited to share my review of the Maharani Special Chicken Tandoori Chicken Tikka combination! 🍗🌶️ The Maharani Special at Maharani Indian Takeaway is an absolute delight. It combines the smoky flavors of tandoori chicken with the juicy and tender chicken tikka. The tandoori chicken is marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and yogurt, then cooked to perfection in a tandoor oven, resulting in a deliciously charred and flavorful dish. The chicken tikka, on the other hand, is marinated in a rich and tangy marinade, giving it a burst of flavors with every bite. When you combine these two mouthwatering dishes, you get an explosion of flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. The tandoori chicken and chicken tikka complement each other perfectly, creating a truly memorable dining experience. The Maharani Special is definitely a must-try. Enjoy your meal and savor every bite! 🍗🌶️🍽️

Lovely food and really quick delivery very happy

Big rice and great bhaji. Shame chicken curry didn't have much meat.

Super early delivery and food great as always thank you

Always delivered hot, Always tasty, we never use anywhere else but the Maharani

Not at all good in taste. Ordered paneer matar but only 2pieces of paneer with full matar with no salt nd mix vegetable as well the same no salt no taste...very disappointed

Won't be using just eat again. Terrible. Food was late and incomplete. Drove off without giving me my rice. Now waiting again for that to be delivered (hopefully)

Haven't had a curry for awhile, and needed to find a new place to order a takeaway from. As my previous go to, is now a cafe instead. I decided to try Maharani after hearing good things. I ordered through their own website as it was a couple of £ cheaper than just eat/deliveroo. Delivery was approx an hour, came about 70mins after placing my order. Food was piping hot, which made up for the slight lateness. I ordered a chicken masala. I found the chicken slightly too dry, and there was approx about 5 pieces. To accompany the chicken, I had a mushroom rice. I was given a large portion. The plain naans were large thick and fluffy. Probably the best naan I've had in a long time. The mango chutney was quite nice too. Other than the dryness of the chicken, the price was good for the amount of food given. I would order again but I'd probably order slightly earlier because after reading alot of reviews it seems lateness is a recurring theme. I was lucky mine was just 10mins late and the food was still really hot.

Great food as ever, highly recommended

A very disappointed loyal customer. Order said 7 -8 but arrived 8.20 and then the driver handed us one bag and questioned him that he had missed a bag - which he had. And, the Samosos were half the size from previous order!

Chicken and spinach curry didn't seem to have as much flavor as usual this time which was a shame

Ordered online and it came a little late which wasn’t a problem it’s one of the weaker curries I’ve had and I’ve been eating curries in Cambridge for my whole life… My one massive complaint before the food was being told he couldn’t give me all my change because “he didn’t have it” it made me laugh and I wasn’t bothered but principle says this is a terrible business practice and it put me off before I’d even looked at my food. Shashlick was very greasy and bland compared to others I’ve had… The Maharani Special tasted very same old, different meats which were okay could have been cooked a little better and the base sauce was generic, it’s always the mark of a mediocre curry when the base sauce is very Same-y Prawn Purée was the highlight of the meal, was very decent and flavourful prawns were a little chewy but I don’t mind tbf The Naans were a dark point, by far the worst Naans I’ve ever had and they delivered them in brown paper bags not foil bags so grease all over the bag and just a mess and they were cold because of it, never had Naans delivered like that and they were tasteless, The Garlic naan didn’t smell or taste of Garlic and the Keema Naan was just bland and thick bread with little Keema meat… And finally the poppadoms were like many restaurants now little crunch almost soft seems since the pandemic many restaurants are doing this it’s a shame but somewhat understandable all tho I think considering we all pay a lot they shouldn’t be sending anything that isn’t fresh. Overall I wouldn’t order again and wouldn’t encourage anyone too, but please make up your own mind.

As ALWAYS no complaints just great food and ALWAYS piping hot.

Ordered on Just Eat. It was late and probably the worst meal I’ve ever had. The prawn biryani had no prawns in at all and it was definitely reheated! I called to complain and the guy was just rude. Awful! We threw it away!

Always great food, no complaints only compliments

Large portions of rice and naan

Cold food and a very hostile reception. Told to reheat my food, seriously after paying £32 including a service charge on a takeaway. I have never had a problem before but after being told to reheat my food and told ‘I’ll look after you next time’ I can say there will never be a next time. Avoid at all costs. I’ll expect a ranty response as it seems that’s all Maharani do.

Maybe i ordered during the peak time so my food was delivered later. But we enjoyed the food. It taste good

Everything was fresh and cooked lovely will order again!

Lovely curry great service and delivery

Not the best, quite dry and lacking flavour

Consistently good, naan bread is the best around.

Been a regular since the end of 2015. There's a good reason for that - the food is fab 😋❤️🍛 never been disappointed on delivery time either. Top notch!

Amazing , my favourite place in Cambridge now, beautiful curry

Lovely Vindaloo, loads of flavour and chilli but not over powering on the heat. I am glad I have found them as its the sort of curry I love

Ordered in advance, delivery was on time and first class quality.

Consistently good quality food, lovely taste and freshly cooked.

Amazing would highly recommend

Really tasty meal- Chicken Vindaloo was flavourful and the chicken was absolutely beautifully cooked. Generous portions too. Garlic naan was fresh and fluffy. Delivery man was really helpful and communicative especially as I live at a tricky address. Could not fault them. Bangin’ takeaway, will defo be back. 👏👏👏

Best curry in Cambridge highly recommend 👌

Consistently amazing food and great service! Vindaloo just as I like it; spicy, but also extremely tasty with lot's of other flavors - not like other places that just crank the spice up with no additional seasoning, or just cut fresh chili's through a Madras! May try one of their House Specials soon, if the staff can recommend something else delicious and hot to a Vindaloo lover!

Really nice! Delivery was almost 5 miles but the food was still hot, and tasted great. Chicken Tikka Biriyani and Onion Bahjis were particularly nice. The Tikka Masala was good but honestly could have a little more flavour. Hope to try again soon. Thank you :)

Lamb vindaloo perfect food nice and hot on delivery very happy thank you

Quite nice food, naan bread and poppadoms to die for. Wasn't overly keen on the special dish, but the rice and biryani were very nice too!

Excellent food! Would definitely order again.

Hands down best Indian in Cambridge

Cold food, 1 hour late. Very disappointed.

Only order From here, always boiling hot and fresh, and good size portions, quality food

Great food, good portions, friendly service

Great food, good portions, friendly service. Just a few minutes late, but no big deal as it was a big order.

Some of the best food in Cambridge

Great tasty food! On time delivery! Happy customer here and will order again.

Food amazing,and delivery guy very friendly

Onion bajhis over cooked were solid. And lamb in biryani was chewy

The positives: prawn chana and sag were tasty The negatives: stuffed paratha was doughy and tasteless, veg madras grim, chips awful. Won't be spending another £42 there anytime soon.

Worst food, rice not cooked, no salt in biryani and too much salt in kalmi Waste of money, overcharged delivery fees. I will not recommend this restaurant for anything

Can't rate restaurant service it was a takeaway.

Very tasty. Would definitely order again

Food is always excelllent - very generous portions :)

The chicken was so dry. The sauce was okay. The peshwari naan wasn’t as coconutty as I thought it would be either

Fantastic food, still piping hot. Not at all greasy and so tasty!

Placed a pretty big order for collection. Ready on time, everything was great, portions good, and they threw in some nice extras.

Almost perfect but the muttar paneer was REALLY low on paneer, it just felt like it was all peas.

I am a regular Customer so Glad they deliver to Hartree Lane the Food is always Fantastic been coming here a long time

We will absolutely order from here again....the delivery cost however just feels a little steep in comparison to other restaurants which are actually further away.

Best Indian takeaway in Cambridge , very quickly delivered , and the food was amazing worth every penny.

Lovely food, great service, I order because I know it will be tasty, authentic and delivered to my door without stepping foot outside

I didn’t want half of what I ordered. There is no pictures or description of what the dishes look like so if you really don’t know what your ordering..

Really lovely curry. Never had a problem with deliveries either.

This was by far the best curry I have had in years. The flavours were bursting and it was not just about the ‘heat’ like so many ‘specials’ in other restaurants. The delivery person was incredibly friendly and upbeat and made the whole experience exponentially better. Thank you all.

Sorry but this place many years ago was my favourite. I decided after years of not having returned to treat myself and daughter to our favourites. Boy I was disappointed terribly. The onion bargee was hard and tasteless. The yogurt sauce is water consistency having been watered down with vinegar which made it un edible. ( my favourite sauce) the lamb biryani was the biggest problem. The meat tasted rotten the rice tasted of burnt garlic and burnt meat and rice and had burnt bits everywhere. Was dry and tasteless. The veg curry was the worst I’ve ever had. Rates less and tasted of decomposing veg, ( like vinegar also) the pappodom and naan were spot on but we have thrown most in the bin. 50 pound wasted and won’t ever be returning. Shame this place used to be the best around. 8 years ago I ordered 2 a month for years from here.

Nice Indian food and very generous portion sizes. 👌🏾😋

I wouldn’t know how late as the delivery driver left it OUTSIDE my hotel. In this heat, the raita separated. Also, the food was poorly seasoned.

Very nice, polite delivery gentleman. Lamb shashlik was fabulous

Best Indian in Cambridge. I would highly recommend.

Amazing I would highly recommend 5*****

Always wonderful , I would highly recommend

Usually we really enjoy our meals from Maharani, but this time it was greasy and tasteless, spending over £100 on a meal we expected better quality that it was this time. The delivery time shown changed by 45 minutes as soon as the order was placed, which meant a very long wait for our food.

Great food and service. Prices are very welcoming too.

Best takeaway curry in Cambridge. Simple as that

Never nocked on the door I phoned up but the guy on the phone was very argumentative sadly but apparently the guy said he nocked never did because I sat right next to the door poor every other time has been perfectly fine but today it was poor sad to say but never got my food

Stay away..the samosas are frozen ones which you can buy from any indian grocery store, they charing more than 4 pounds for 2 tiny samosas. The nans are frozen thick bread, nothing is freshly made. Curry is tasteless too. I came to know Indians avoid it, only first time customers make the mistake of buying from here.

Best Indain in Cambridge would highly recommend 5*

Best fish curry I’ve ever had. This is THE best curry in Cambridge

Great service, quick delivery, and food was lovely, highly recommended.

Best Indian Restaurant in Cambridge. It's consistently good. I would Highly Recommend.

Best Indian food in Cambridge, I've been going to this restaurant for years and it always been consistently been excellent. I would highly recommend.

In my experienced opinion this is easily the BEST Indian takeaway in Cambridge. I’ve been using the Maharani for over five years now (both collect and takeaway) and they offer the most consistently top quality spicy flavoursome Indian food. I would also assert that the food is better than in almost all the sit-down Indian restaurants in Cambridge.

Amazing curry every time, always use them 👌🏻

Delicious food, hot on delivery. Will definitely order again.

The food is very bad, yellow water instead or=tadka dal and stale bread DO NOT GO HERE OR ORDER FROM HERE, THE FOOD THAT THESE GUYS ARE SELLING IS NOT INDIAN ITS SOMETHING ELSE, because Indian food is delicious unlike this and the person who was on the line referring himself as the owner at the moment was very rude and wasn't admitting his fault, please do not order food from here until and unless you are in a mood to throw the money! Here are some pictures of yellow water and stale bread which is their specialty!

Nice fresh hot food absolutely delicious 😋 the food is mouthwatering best Indian in cambridge

Always early and always fresh authentic Bengali cuisine hats of to the chef

Bit apprehensive as haven't used before but meal was the best take away I've had for a long time. Definitely will use again.

Its a huge request to whosoever comes over here that please first of all dont come here and if by mistake you come here please do not order food from here! They think yellow water is tadka dal and stale bread is tandoori roti because this is what these guys serve, I request please do not order any takeaway from here because it is literally very bad Please do not order food from here If you have money to waste or throw then please donate it to some charity or give it to some poor because this restaurant does not deserve your love, The owner is very impolite and is not ready to admit his fault.

Dinner was cold. Not much chicken in the korma

Beautiful food! Great service!! Thumbs up from me 👍🏼👍🏼

Great curries and the best Dahl soup!

This is the best place to buy a curry in Cambridge, the food is top class, the portions are a great size and the service is impeccable

Lovely food, great portion sizes just excellent.

Sorry but the food wasn’t really that good. I think you really need to concentrate on the quality rather than quantity

Fast delivery but average food.The most horrible preservative taste mango chutney and the garlic naan has never seen a garlic((

Always great food & prompt delivery.

Amazing chunky onion bhajis and unique curries, thanks!

I won't be paying £5delivery and what 50p added for service is about I don't know. Rip off.

I tried the Maharani Special and highly recommend it! All the food delivered was really good but the special was amazing!

Thank you so much, the food was delicious maharani are the best
