Cafe Maharani - Honolulu

Food taste great but anything else of this restaurant need fixing.

Amazing! This is the ultimate comfort foodThe spices are warm and dance on your taste buds.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years now and if anything I think it may have gotten better. My son and I had dinner last night and the flavors were excellent and the portions were huge. We had the Maharani dinner for two and it could have fed four. In fact, three of us just had the leftovers for breakfast. The eggplant pakora appetizer had a super crispy bite with tender, flavorful eggplant inside. Easily enough for four. We really liked the Palak Paneer and the Chicken, Tika Masala, although my son, who really likes it spicy, wished he had asked them to crank up the heat. But we got some hot sauce on the side, and it was super tasty! Service was very friendly and super fast . This will continue to be my pick for Indian food when I am on Oahu. Oh they claim to have the largest nan bread you have ever seen and they are not wrong. Also it was the biggest mango lassi I’ve ever had (nice flavor too) and my son said it was his favorite iced chai that he’s ever had.

Much more bland than I expected. Nickel and dime on all the small things.

The food was amazing! Seriously so good ! Our waitress was awesome but, she seemed overloaded as they were extremely busy. I got the spicy lamb vindaloo, and my husband got the chicken tikka masala. Definitely recommend getting the 2 person meal because it comes with fresh naan bread and an appetizer.
