Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Delivered in half an hour and food was hot and tasty. Have had several meals delivered from the Maharani and have all been good.

No room for complaintancey?

Sept 2019 • family

I have been using this takeaway for over 20 years & experienced my 1st bad customer experience for the 1st time yesterday. On arrival after spending over £40 worth of food I asked for the 10% discount for collecting my food only to be told we dont do this anymore? I took my food home only to realise 1 of the mains was wrong & at no point did they offer to bring out , there website states areas above and beyond from me but they then abruptly told me we dont deliver there and we'll credit next order. I ordered a lamb Jalfraize and I can tell you it was like eating rubber, not sure what it was but it wasn't lamb?? All in all not a good experience and I think complacency is a word I would strongly use here, unfortunately there is no room for this certainly when there is so much competition out there, real shame as I will be trying elsewhere from now on.

This place met our lowered expectations because of how the front entrance looked, the building, and the carryout food signs. We looked at three other places on the same block and side of the street. We hesitated for some time comparing menus. But we were trapped on this street and section. We preferred Indian and selected 2 biriyanis--lamb and chicken, to go. Six blocks later we were eating. The outcomes were as expected and did not see the ranking of 26/30 for Indian places until now. I think that spot is probably appropriate with the flavor, aroma, and texture of the food, plus benefit of the doubt for walking it to a table.

Very poor

Sept 2020 • solo

Having discovered this takeaway only recently it sadly has gone downhill rapidly. Each takeaway ivehad has got progressively worse but last nights food was the worst yet. The sauce was watery and tasteless, the chicken was gristley, inedible and the rice was hard. I ended up throwing most of it away. Needless to say that was my last visit. I don't think the chefs care anymore and just throw the meals together.

THE BEST Indian takeaway in Cambridge

Mar 2022 • solo

In my experienced opinion this is easily the BEST Indian takeaway in Cambridge. I’ve been using the Maharani for over five years now (both collect and takeaway) and they offer the most consistently top quality spicy flavoursome Indian food. I would also assert that the food is better than in almost all the sit-down Indian restaurants in Cambridge.

Underwhelming luke warm takeaway

Dec 2022 • couples

The positives: prawn chana and sag were tasty The negatives: stuffed paratha was doughy and tasteless, veg madras grim, chips awful. Won't be spending another £42 there anytime soon.

Impolite Owner and awful food

Jan 2022 • none

Its a huge request to whosoever comes over here that please first of all dont come here and if by mistake you come here please do not order food from here! They think yellow water is tadka dal and stale bread is tandoori roti because this is what these guys serve, I request please do not order any takeaway from here because it is literally very bad Please do not order food from here If you have money to waste or throw then please donate it to some charity or give it to some poor because this restaurant does not deserve your love, The owner is very impolite and is not ready to admit his fault.

Great takeaway

Jan 2020 • solo

Had three takeaways from here and each time been really impressed. Quick delivery time, great portion sizes and really nice curries with lots of flavour. Would definitely recommend!

Awful takeaway

Dec 2019 • couples

Ordered here as it was rated well on Just Eat... I have no idea why! Food arrived cold, chicken seemed barely cooked and one curry was overly spiced when it should of been medium. Also found a hair in the chicken tikka. Would not recommend anyone to order from here!

Highly recommended!!

Nov 2019 • solo

So, this was the first time I have ordered from this restaurant, found them on Just eat and thought I would give them a try as I have been disappointed with the last two places I ordered from. This place really IS good!! The food arrived on time, delivery driver was extremely polite, food was piping hot! Portion size was very good, more than enough in fact! This is definitely my "Go to" curry house from now on. I had a Korma that was very tasty, onion bhajis (3 and they were huge!) They were perfect, not greasy or over cooked like so many I've had before, and rice that tasted fresh, not like it was out of a microwave! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

Average food, appalling service.

Nov 2018 • solo

Ordered online and food arrived late. Tried calling the restaurant to check on the order but was met with a wall of incompetence and rudeness. Staff member I spoke with clearly spoke minimal English, and should not have been tasked with answering the phone. As soon as I mentioned having ordered online, he told me to call just eat and either didn’t understand or didn’t care when I tried repeatedly to explain I had ordered directly from the restaurants own website. When I asked to speak with someone else, ideally a manager, he tried to convince me there was no one else there. Eventually I was hung up on without gaining any clarification. I called back and the same person answered and immediately hung up again when he realised I was the same caller and a further phone call went completely unanswered. Eventually my food arrived and on unpacking the order I noticed the onion bhaji for which I paid £3.75 was missing. The garlic naan was also just a plain naan. Given my previous experience of trying to call the restaurant, I decided not to bother trying again. The food itself was average at best and I would not order from this place again even if the service had been perfect.

Great

Nov 2018 • solo

I popped in after ordering from Just eat. I chose the Maharani special. This was a great deal with a mixed meat in a great sauce, with special rice and onion bhaji for £12.95. Great taste, great value. Whilst waiting, you could see into the kitchen and it was very clean and buzzing with orders. Will be back.
