Mizanur Rahman
“I had an absolutely delicious meal from Maharani Takeaway. Lovely Indian/Bangladeshi-style restaurant; I had Chicken Tikka main, King Prawns Saslik, Maharani Especial, and Garlic Naan. The curry was absolutely delightful! Sadik and Tanvir were very helpful in helping me and my friend choose what to order. Highly recommended.”

Jacqueline Tolentino
“I was in the neighbour’s takeaway shop when my good friend Mizanur Rahman saw my FB photo and called your shop to order for me. Since I love Chicken Biryani and papadom, he asked me to collect it, and the biryani was very nice! Yesterday I returned for Chicken Biryani and Chicken Khurma. It’s really nice; they even added papadom, which I shared with my colleague. When I’m back in the area, I’ll definitely order again. PS: I would love my biryani to be Bangladesh-style!”
