We recently used Maharani for our catering needs, and the entire experience was absolutely…read morephenomenal! We worked with Reeta from start to finish--from placing the order in person to final payment on delivery day. The food and service were the best we've experienced in many years. During delivery, there was a minor item issue due to a misunderstanding on our part. However, right before our event started, Reeta personally drove to our house with the additional item at no cost! She went completely above and beyond to ensure we were happy. Their packing and delivery processes were also top-notch. We highly recommend Reeta and Maharani for both catering and dining in. They offer the absolute best Indian restaurant experience, service, and food in the Herndon area!

It's conveniently located in Reston Town Center inside the Hyatt Regency hotel. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of spice. It paired perfectly with the warm Garlic Naan, and I found myself reaching for every last bite. I also tried the Mango Lassi, which was smooth, refreshing, and a great balance to the spices in the meal. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

It's great that parking is free in the nearby ramps on the weekend. The restrooms aren't far but you do need to exit the restaurants. The server was attentive and friendly. She got my daughter a kid friendly water cup and spoon. She also suggested non spicy options since I wanted to make sure my toddler would try as much as possible. Portions were generous and drinks were delicious. My toddler was still a little bit picky and honestly I'm not used to all of the traditional Indian spices but I'm glad we tried it. Also it was a bit on the pricey side but to be expected given the location and more elevated ambiance. We were able to bring home some leftovers which was nice not having to stress out about another meal afterwards.

It went so well with various curries in the platter (palak paneer, paneer masala, Chana masala, vegetable curry), the simple bowl of daal tadka went so well with the jeera rice. They also have kitchdi, so do not forget to ask for their Kitchdi. It's so good. Kitchdi is a lentil rice mix with lots of cumin. It's one of the comforting foods in north India. The ambiance was great as well. The manager just informed us they are going to start offering some South Indian food starting December 2025. I am stoked. Highly recommend this place.

Now it is slow and it is really hard to get someone's attention. The food was still pretty good. A little different than it used to be, but still pretty good. The service is bad.

Very unfortunate about the service, since this is used to be one of our go to places to eat.

I ordered the MD Special Chicken Biryani and thought it was delicious! What makes this biryani dish special was that the chicken is fried! My whole group overall enjoyed their dishes. The thing we thought was a little strange was how little rice they brought out for the group to share. Six of us ordered an entree that's to be eaten with rice and they bought out just 2 bowls of rice to share amongst them. Another person next to me ordered the same biryani, but between the 2 of us, we were given just one of each sauce to share (which was not enough!) Service was a little odd too because when the food was brought out, there was hesitancy to how they were going to bring the correct dishes to the other end of the table. We ended up passing our hot dishes down to the correct person. People who ordered mild got the spicy orders and we had to switch things around. We also waited a long while after we finished eating and had to call someone over for the check.
