Great food, fantastic taste and flavouring. Staff members are very friendly, polite and are quick to remember not to call me "ma'am/madam/ms/miss" given they deal with many customers in restaurant and online orders! They were so supportive during a minor verbal "disagreement" between myself and another customer. Special shout out to Mohammad! My go to restaurant for Indian cuisine! Amazing food and amazing service!

We've tried pretty much every local Indian restaurant, but not the Maharani until last night. It was lovely! The staff were friendly helpful and efficient which is never easy in a packed restaurant, but it was the food that really blew us away. From the dips that arrived with the poppadoms that were unusually tasty and different from the standard ones you find, through the lovely breads, vegetable side dishes and our king prawn mains (which had more king prawns than the paltry amount you get in many of the local Indians), everything was tasty, perfectly spiced and thankfully not swimming in grease. Absolutely lovely, give them a try!

When we first arrived a few people in but not to bad sadly has tables so close could here the ladies on the next tables conversation has the time went on restaurant got fuller noise levels got higher. Food could have been better chicken slightly dry, to much sauce got to say the onion bhaji were good. Has for service food came out in dribs and drabs. To top it off we asked for our bill and waited so long we got up and got it ourselves.

The food was late so I phoned the restaurant. I could hear them shouting about where my order was & how it was going to be cold on arrival. The guy said it would be 2-3 mins, but it was 10 more mins. Most of it was cold, the naan had to be reheated & the passanda didn't taste great. I used to love Maharani but won't bother again. Back to Jalsha it is.

Very impressed with everything about the restaurant. The service was really good, attentive but not in your face. The food was also very good .

Ordered for collection, and I was told it would be ready 15-20minutes later, which is great on a bank holiday weekend. I went to collect in less than 20 minutes, so I was very sad when I got home (2 minute drive) to find that the curry was luke warm and the naan was stone cold. Either they don't have an area to keep food warm after they cook it, or they premade it and forgot to heat it up properly - I suspect the latter as the naan was inside the usual foil pouch yet was totally cold. Compared to Ruchita, which is just down the road, this cost about 50% more for the same dishes, but the curry was bland and the naan bread is about two thirds the size, aside from being cold.

Terrible. Overpriced samosas only got 2 for £4.95 and they were def from frozen. Butter chicken smelled and tasted like it had parmesan cheese in it? Sent that back for a chicken tikka which tasted like dolmio tomato sauce. It’s like they’re trying to do some sort of italian indian fusion but it just flops. And to top it off the complimentary chocolate is just as bad as the meal.

Second time we have eaten here, the food is nice, i found lack of communication by staff. Group of 13 i ordered the trout for both me and my husband, only one turned up and was told that was because that was the last one. I was then told we could order something else, why wasn't we told at the beginning. A friends rice that was ordered didn't turn up so when it did the mains had got cold, he ended up taking it all home. Can i suggest on large groups give the group a piece of paper and pen and get them to write down what the group want and break it up. You will then know what table has ordered what with no confusion. Apart from this hiccup the food we enjoyed and we will be back.

Just disappointed to have food missing, so all had to go in the oven while we waited for the rest if it. Restaurant were great and got the missing food to us quickly. The curry leaked out of the container and was all over the other food. I know it's a busy night but don't accept the order if it's not going to be up to the usual standard and quality you usually produce. Bombay potato was really bland and prawn purée was really greasy, just picked out the prawns. Could not fault the service just the food this time

Best Indian I’ve ever had. No doubt. Very friendly staff and excellent service. They have at least 8 chefs in the kitchen and 6-7 staff waiting tables, so it’s very well run restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming again. Delicious - Balti Jalfreezi, Lamb Kattamita, Lamb Roygan Josh, Onion Bhaji. Some minor adjustments/personal criticisms - Bombay potatoes could do with some more spice and flavour, more coconut with the pashwaari naan, more attention given to size of onions in the balti and the freshness of those onions (some had hard texture)

It's very rare I feel the need to leave a bad review, but this was easily the worst curry I've eaten so far in the entire surrounding area. Completely ruined the evening and left me feeling ripped-off. The rice was clumped together and dry, worse than a microwave pouch, and the Chicken Korma didn't even taste like a Chicken Korma. Also to note that the packaging was extremely greasy, even the card lids were soaked through. The only redeeming factor was the free single poppadom, which ironically was the tastiest part of the entire order. I've had better microwave meals. Will not be ordering again.

Local business so we thought we would give this place another try. Impromptu last minute booking. Tried to get a table for 6pm but was asked if we could turn up 15 mins earlier. Not a problem. Got to the restaurant, it was empty. Waiting staff were very attentive and welcoming. Food arrived promptly and we didn't have to wait long for drinks. My lamb achari was delicious and I did ask for it with a bit more spice. My son had a prawn masala. It was bright red! As an Asian,I find this off putting. There is no need to colour food. During our meal the restaurant was 80% empty so we can only guess they must be busy with takeout orders. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Not an unpleasant experience but may not be in such a rush to come back.

Nice modern decor & atmosphere, very friendly staff but sadly flavourless curries. I got the king prawn korai (£12 or 13) as a treat and was disappointed. Prawns were chewy and the gravy was quite watery, had no flavour whatsoever. Korai was bulked out with big chunks of onions, no tomato or peppers. Prawn puree and other mains (lamb Naga too) also lacked flavour. Rice also seemed to lack quality. It's a shame as that's what you want in a curry - a deep rich flavour but we didn't get it here.

Once again we had a take away from this restaurant and it was just as good as it always is. The tastiest tenderest Lamb and the mixture of spices and onions make this food Indian at its finest. I recommend you try it for yourself and if you like it hotter than usual ask for a Bhuna but make it Madras hot. Vegetable curry is lovely and tasty and the Onion Bhaji are crisp and done to perfection.

Half my order didn't turn up. I politely asked for it several times but with no result. I spoke to the manager who told me to sit down and he would sort it out. I was fobbed off. Nothing happened. I complained to him and we ended up shouting at each other. I never got my food. It was very busy that evening but the attitude of staff was incredibly dismissive. I cannot recommend such a place given its poor service and outright rudeness.
