I couldn’t help but notice this place has number of bad Google reviews from 2-8 years ago. Clearly, that was before they got a new chef. Don’t let old reviews stop you or anyone who loves great Indian food from coming here. The food is excellent. I came in for lunch my first time and had the Chicken Tikka Masala with plain naan. It was really tasty. My dish was big and had lots of great sauce. The naan was fresh, light and a perfect mix of soft inside and crunchy outside. I’ve enjoyed Indian food all over the world to include throughout India. This place legitimately is one of best indian restaurants I’ve had in the states. No doubt I will be back with the family. Thank you ❤️🇮🇳

Best Chicken Korma in Elk Grove that I’ve tried. Recently my family moved to the area and I’ve been craving a good chicken korma. This is the 4th or 5th Indian restaurant we’ve tried and definitely the best flavor so far. We tried the chicken and veggie Korma, the garbanzo bean dish, egg plant dish and okra dish. My family all agreed the flavor was great. Their spice scale is higher than the other local restaurants. I’ve ordered medium at other Indian restaurants and it’s ranged from mild to just right. Here medium was a tad hot for me but delicious. We will come back!

Had a very good experience every time I was at this place. High quality service and very professional. The lunch time buffet is a good deal. For the price you pay you get quality food that tastes good.

Loved the freshly made food including drinks and friendly staff . We ordered aloo gobi pranthas, chole bhatura and idlis. Everything tasted good and fresh. Definitely visiting again.

Maharani is probably my favorite restaurant in Elk Grove. It's always a good choice when we don't feel like cooking at home, because the quality is so consistently good and the portions are quite generous. We visit about twice a month. Our takeout order (less than $100) ends up being dinner for half the week, and we never grow tired of it because the food is so excellent, and the staff is so kind. The interior also deserves compliments. It is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The impression I'm left with is that the owners are very dedicated to their work and to our community. Please go support Maharani with your business, they truly deserve it! Keith & Robbie

I’ve been a regular customer, but this pickup experience was very disappointing. A staff member (older lady with black hair and glasses ) repeatedly questioned whether the order was mine, even after I showed proof in the app, and continued to speak to me in a condescending manner that made it feel like I was being treated as if I were lying. I was also told utensils were included, I even made sure to asker her before I left, but they were not when I opened the bag. And when I returned, the dismissive attitude continued she again asked if I was the original person that made the order and then stated ALL THEY HAD WAS SPOONS. What kind of restaurant that sells chicken only has spoons, a straight up lie. Her vibe was weird and made me uncomfortable. Mistakes happen, but respectful customer service matters. With recent price increases, this experience makes it difficult to return.

I work out here, so I don't get to eat here as much as I would like. But I order any chance I get. I LOVE their Malai Kofta. I tend to get the same thing all the time but I've tried a couple things here and everything is also so good. And it's always piping hot. Service is always great. I'm always greeted with a smile and I never have to wait long. My favorite place for lunch out here when I'm at work. The portions are large too. The meal I buy, tends to be two meals for me. I usually share with my daughter too. So this place deserves all the stars.

We’ve been here twice in one week. FANTASTIC place to eat with your small kids! We rode our bikes here and they were beyond hospitable and kind to our family. They even brought them (two under two) a snack while we waited. Can’t say enough about the food. Love the chai, the naan has been great, the butter chicken is very fresh. The indoor environment has nice music and vibes! It is very slow for inside dining so you will generally have a very intimate dining experience.

The food is incredible and they have tons of vegan friendly options. The staff also informed me the roti bread came with butter and asked if we wanted it without (after my husband and I both ordered a vegan dish). Every dish is flavorful and the restaurant setting is amazing. I’ve tried the veggie samosas, aloo matter, mushroom masala, roti bread, and saag tofu and all of them are 10/10

Since I've been eating here for a while, the food has never let me down. Friends of mine that I took there frequently go back. I've only used the buffet before. Although occasionally a little slow, the service is generally good and the staff are always courteous. How much service should one expect from a buffet? This restaurant is among the top two that I have eaten at while traveling the world, including Antarctica.

I came for the lunch buffet. Mostly at Indian places I just get the tandoori chicken and the tikka masala. The naan here is nice too and included with the buffet. Fair price considering the cost of food these days.

Food was good, decent variety for the lunch buffet but service can definitely improve. The waitress never came to check on me, she forgot to bring my naan (the place wasn't busy at all) and had to ask twice to refill my drink because she never bother to check if I was ok.

We were here for a take out and we ordered momo and it was 9 PM when we got there and they were closing at 9:30 So momo were half cooked. We ordered 10 pieces but couldn’t eat it even one.

Absolutely disappointed with the quality of food that was ordered via door dash. Chicken tikka only had 6 to 7 pieces of small pieces of chicken breast and overly cooked and dry with tons of onions. I expect to get quality food when I'm paying good money. Sorry but with this experience I don't think i will order from this place again.

One of the worst restaurants ever been in my life, I ordered three items from there menu, when I reach there they said $50 something, I said why that much...? Then she realised, the prices shown on menu(online) is from three years ago, I was like???? Then she said take one item out and pay for other two, I said ok but it's still high... I really don't wanted to say anything for that But after seeing this food for $35 dollars that she charged me , I don't know how they sleeping or having good health for cheating people like this, I wouldn't recommend this, definitely food department will be on your way as you food taste like ---. Worst restaurant!!!!!! PFA images which cost $35 anyway...

About 10 of us from work ordered lunch on 10/2 from here. Food was awful. I ordered egg biryani, which had fried rice and 1 hard boiled egg, sliced in 4 pcs. Mind you, I paid $15. Another person ordered chicken biryani, she got fried rice with 4 cube size pcs of chicken. Samosas were dripping in oil. I don't recommend this place, quality and quantity is very disappointing. Taste was awful.
