In Short
The main dining area, the Peacock Room, is cozy with hand-painted murals and dim lighting. But the adjoining Fantasy Room, with private booths and four prix-fixe menus (including a vegetarian option), is what this restaurant is famed for. The main room's a la carte menu features a range of Indian classics, such as the popular tikka masaa and saag paneer, as well as a mixed tandoori platter. Warm naan and tasty bread items are made-to-order.

I am sure people who have written good reviews for this restaurant are either the restaurant staff itself or people who have no idea what indian food is! The food was not fresh, our food looked like it was cooked like a few days ago and heated up in a microwave. It was not tasty and at the end we get a check which did not justify the price of the food. And did i mention, they even calculate the 18% tip themselves and include it in the check so you have no choice but pay a tip of 18% however the service was (which was average by the way). And they even have an extra line when you sign on the check which says "Additional Tip".Damn...So if you decide to go there, be ready to spend a lot of money for crappy so called indian food

Ok, I think I got fooled by their website...I took my wife for valentine's day last night...all i can say it was one of the worst indian foods I've had in the States.....If you really want to have good indian food in a restaurant with nice ambience....i would strongly recommend Amber on Market St.....I just love the food there....I am moving out of Bay area and I would really miss the food at Amber......Reader of this review- do not go Maharani, if you see any good reviews, it may be written by a non-indian coz many non-indians cannot tell the difference between good and not so good indian food....take my word and go to Amber, u'll love it there....I promise!

Maharani is perfect for any special occasion! The food is one of the best that I've had for Indian food and the seclusion is fantastic for any date situation. I definitely go here every time I'm in the Bay Area.
