“ We haven been coming to Cafe Maharani for years now. We have noticed more Indian food spots opening up but we just keep coming back to Cafe Maharani. You can't beat the quality and flavor of their food combined with the value and generous portion sizes. We love coming here with a big group. This last visit, they gave us the largest set meal they have ever offered. Apparently we are the first to get to try it! We felt so fortunate! I am not kidding when I say the amount of food was HUGE. Oh my gosh big eaters that we are, we still couldn't finish it all. The cost was so reasonable, as well! We were ecstatic to be able to being home leftovers for lunch the next day. Thank you for another amazing experience at Cafe Maharani! ”
“ After recently dining at all the new Honolulu Indian Restaurants during the last two months I just revisited Maharani. In the last few years, the following have opened: 1) Spice Up 2) Kamana Kitchen 3) Tadka Indian Cuisine 4) Namaste Indian & Nepalese Cuisine 5) New Kamana Kitchen All these other places are pretty good, but I have to say that Maharani is still the best. And best of all its not so crowded due to the increased competition. Reasons for this assessment: 1) Largest portions 2) Prices still reasonable 3) Naan is BY FAR the best 4) No other place does seafood as good. The fish here is moist and perfectly done. The shrimp is succulent. Service wasn't bad. They no longer let you put your name on the waiting list when you're on your way there. But there's no wait, so it doesn't matter. ”
“ What time is it?! Time to check out some new things at Cafe Maharani. They revamped the menu with a new look and added new food items from the variety bread baskets and tasty kebabs. They have assorted tandoori mixed grill made to order - from the tandoori to your plate! They also added many new naan dishes as well. Looks delicious, savory, cheesy, and mouth watering. Definitely pair it with one of their curry dishes. It's naan time! ”
“ My number one pick for Indian food on the island! We did dinner here and the service was 10/10 I wish the servers could train the world on hospitality, because WOW. Casual vibes but well decorated. Every dish hit the spot and I don't have a favorite because it was all so delish. Try this spot immediately ”
“ Flavorful curry and tasty naan. Some pieces of chicken are hard in the butter chicken though the curry is tasty. Palak paneer (spinach and cheese cubes) has mild spiciness, and it's a scrumptious dish. Chicken masala curry has a hint of lamb taste, which I didn't fancy as I personally don't like lamb. The cheese naan is good, and the table next to us got butter naan that looked really nice and fluffy too. Recommend the mango lassi, but it's more sweet than tart. Authentic Indian restaurant. Seating is a bit tight and the lighting dim. Portions are huge! We did street parking that's free at night; it seems like there's a paid parking structure next to Down to Earth market. If you go near closing time, they will ask you to order quickly and you may feel rushed. Food comes out fast and you will leave with yummy leftovers to enjoy later. ”
