Maharani - Ottobrunn

Had a great dinner at maharani yesterday. I was reluctant to eat Indian in Germany but my Chicken jalfrezi was nicely balanced, I asked for slightly more spice and it was just great. We had to pay for the papadoms and staff could have been a bit more attentive, that should be 3 stars - but the food was good.

N.B. Visited once, in *Spring 2012*, on a weekend evening, with family, following a neighbour's recommendation. Although busy, the ambiance was pleasant as was the friendly service. The menu was varied and the food we ordered very good and tastefully presented. However, I was served a small Schweppes Tonic Water bottle with expiry date 07.2010 (already open when it reached the table). This was a concern to me obviously and, although I was not ill afterwards, as a result of this we have not been back since. I did mention it to the waiter at the time and he seemed concerned and took the empty bottle to the kitchen (to discuss with colleagues?). I had an apology, but I wonder whether more attention is being paid now to expiry dates...? This is one of the best places for Indian food in our area, south of the city, so a response from management (even in German) would certainly be reassuring to all customers past and present.

If you are looking something different while in The suburbs of Munich, good Indian food will hit the spot!Maharani is great little restaurant serving authentic Indian food with excellent service and better food. Not being an expert in Indian cuisine, the owner of the restaurant presented us with English menus and then guided us through our food selection. From the sizzling chicken Tandoori to the lamb curry and the chilli lime naan, all delighted the tastebuds. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

In general the dinner was good. The chef made it to the desi taste. Nice environment and easy parking in front of the restaurant. This place was almost full today. Maybe thay explains the slightly care free staff.However this place seems like a bit more pricey compared to the other desi placesin Munich.

Lovely food, plus lots of options suitable for vegetarians. Staff is friendly, service is good. I recommend!
