Maharani Restaurant (Clapham)

• This is a slightly more upmarket curry house (or at least is trying to be) situated bang in the middle of the brouhaha of Clapham High Street
• Maharani has the best reputation and the decor inside lives up to this
• The staff are also good although sometimes they were a little hasty in clearing up and took attentiveness to a new level
• At times it felt like they were permanently occupying a continuous and irritating imaginary conveyor belt around the centre of the restaurant which passed by our table at too often a frequency
• For a more adventurous and authentic experience then a short trek to Tooting is definitely in order
• It is good value for money and the best way to decide whether you like their food or not
• I am always on the look out for authentic Indian/South Asian cuisine and Maharani is one of the handful that make the mark
• I was rather impressed by their Sunday buffet which is good value for money and also well prepared
• The restaurant is not one of the typical London curry houses and this tends to put off some people
• To me the authenticity of taste is what matters
• They have chicken tikka masala if that is what you like eating
• I would definitely recommend their lamb dishes as these are as good as the ones found in the Indian subcontinent
• The staff and the chef are accommodating and dishes can be tailored to your needs or your children's needs
• The prices are reasonable and they have their own bar
• You don't have to bring your beer with you unlike some restaurants in Brick Lane
• The food here is very good as are the portion sizes
