Signature Dishes That Are Loved By Locals

Chicken Tikka Marinated overnight in creamy yogurt, garlic, and hand-ground spices, then seared over charcoal to deliver juicy meat with a whisper of smokiness.

Shami Kebab Minced lamb and lentils seasoned with fresh coriander, ginger, and garlic, pressed into patties and pan-fried for a crisp shell that gives way to a soft, aromatic centre.

Tandoori Wings Wings bathed in a garlic-yoghurt marinade spiked with tandoori masala, slow-roasted in a clay oven until the skin caramelises and the meat remains fall-off-the-bone tender.

Bombay Potato Delicate cubes of potato tossed with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and turmeric, cooked until edges crisp and interiors melt in your mouth.

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!”
