The award for the best Indian Food on the island goes to Cafe Maharani. I’m pretty certain that by now I have been to all of the Indian restaurants here on the island and I can say with absolute certainty that Cafe Maharani is the best. I really didn’t want to like them at first. Every time I come here it’s pack and I usually have to wait. I hate waiting, it makes me bitter. There’s also an Indian Restaurant called India House just down the street, but they get no love from me because they suck major dingle berry ass. Anyhow, Cafe Maharanl is the best so lets celebrate by all going out to eat there, tonight, not on me because I’m a cheap ass. But if you happen to see me, go ahead and offer to buy me dinner, I won’t say no.
I like coming here because the inside is small but very vibrant.
I ordered a Mango Lassi for my beverage. It’s a yogurt drink. The first time I ever had one of these it was really weird for me to get use to drinking what tasted like a runny yogurt drink, but soon I got use to it and now I love them.
We started with some Nann. It was served to us with a pizza cutter. I believe this was the Kabli Nann, $5.99 and it serves up to 3 people so bring your hommies.
Or you can just order Plain Nann, $2.75.
There’s just way too much sauce in Indian food for you to not get rice.
I apologize but I don’t remember what any of this was called. All I can say is that is was all lamb, one fish and everything ran about $15.00. All of it was phenomenally delicious, that’s why I’m going back there for dinner tonight.

Things must have changed. Food there was good when they first opened and then became progressively worse as their fame spread. The better the decorations, the worse the food. Should be obvious, but never order beef; it is soooo tough. Just because Indians don’t eat beef, you’d think they would at least do a good job for those who order it. They would be doing themself a favor by taking all beef dishes off the menu.

Wow I am getting really hungry looking at all your pictures! I live in walking distance of this place and have never gone (tsk, tsk) despite the good reviews from other people and the wait I see outside. I am definitely going now!
