The food at Maharani Restaurant is rich, prepared and served with care. Vegetarian dishes are highlighted here. You will do well to order the Malai Kofta Maharani, and the Tandoori Chicken is also nicely done. What really sets the Maharani apart, though, is decor, in particular the 'Fantasy Room'. It is a softly lit, rajah's pink dream featuring a fountain and playful elephant motifs delight diners seated on pillows and hidden seated in screened, arched booths.
