Easy to order through the app, the Maharani menu is not only full of flavor, but will insure your stomach is full as well. There are enough options to give variety, but not too many that you feel overwhelmed. With a warm and welcoming service, I will certainly return.

food was delicious and very large portions. I had the chicken saag and for the first time ever egg Curry both were amazing

Having moved from an area where are an abundance of Indian restaurants so I'm happy to see Decatur has one. Very authentic home cooking! Love this place so much, I'm going to order again right now, as I think of it. love the yogurt mango drink!

I found out this place was on my way to and from work but didn't realize it till I ordered take out. It shares a space with a gas station and was skeptical at first. However as I stepped inside I was enveloped by the scents of spices and my skepticism immediately switched to anticipation. It was carry out order and the smell coming from the take out was scrumptious on my way home. When I finally got round to being able to eat everything was delicious. We had lamb marsala, butter chicken, and saag panee

I was in town for work and found this place on Yelp. Since I was alone, I placed my order to go, on line and headed over. I went in and let them know I was there. The owner said it would be about 10 minutes and said have a complementary drink while I waited. I declined and said I would wait in my car. Shortly after, He brought it out to my car and brought me a candy bar because I didn't take the drink. I ordered the chicken sagg and nan. It wasn't as spicy as I expected for a 4 out of 5 but the flavor was amazing and the service was excellent. If you enjoy ethnic food that is made to order, this place should be on your radar. No food service there! If I find myself back in Decatur, I know where I'm going for dinner. Can't wait to try something else. Maybe I'll try the 5 of 5 spicy next time.

Only local Indian restaurant. Great food, I always get take-out. They need all the support they can get. Love them! I recommend chicken and lamb masala.

An authentic gem, they even have imported spices next door and small vegetable garden.
This is THE spot, people. The bomb, yo! The maharani is my favorite spot to get some grub then get handsy with myself in the men's room. Gotta do whatcha gotta do, amirite? Great food, great service, great men's room!

Excellent tasting and very high quality Indian food. Our family loves their butter chicken, garlic naan, chicken 65 and chicken masala. Don't let the gas station location deter you. Give this place a chance you won't be sorry.

Homemade Indian food. Very friendly owners.

Had trouble finding it in the gas station building, but the GPS is correct. The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful. Everything is made fresh, so it's not fast food, but well worth the search and the wait.

Our food and service were both fantastic. I'm no expert on Indian food, but everything we had was well-prepared and tasty with a nice layering of flavors. We started with some complimentary, homemade chips and chutney. Tasty. For appetizers we had Samosa Chaat which were great. For entrees we had Butter Chicken and Egg Bhurji, along with white rice and Garlic Naan bread. Our server, who was the owner's daughter, was great at helping us choose our dishes. While the atmosphere isn't the best, the food and service more than make up. I highly recommend this diamond in the rough. Enjoy!
