    Non veg thali. Sadly all chicken
    Chad W.

    Had Maharani last night. I got the non veg thali. I was excited to try this. It took a minute but I didn't mind that at all. They gave me a great amount of rice and plain naan bread. The problem was it was all chicken. I feel like maybe they should clarify that. Plus 2 of dishes chicken was really dry over cooked chicken. The sauces were delicious. There was a very small amount of chicken 65 as well. Was more batter than meat. Maybe they could mix it up and give ya lamb in one dish or fish or shrimp.

    The employee recommended the chicken biryani!! It was between that and the tikka masala! The dish was delicious!! It had a little bit of a kick to it with the spices added, but the chicken was cooked wonderfully and the portion was huge and it had a savory, rich flavor!! Highly recommend!!

    The biryani was ok it seemed like it was lacking a bigger spice profile. The rice was cooked well though at least.

    We had such a great experience at Karnali. We had a group of 4 plus a baby. They were very…read moreaccommodating with our seating and had a high chair for our baby. It was a Thursday evening and not very busy. Only two other tables when we were there which really surprised me after tasting the food. They started out with the complimentary papadam with two different sauces a mint chutney and a brown sauce not sure what it is but both great. We started off with the naan bread basket and an another garlic cheese naan definitely didn't need more than the bread basket was a very large portion to split. All were very tasty the garlic was my favorite. I had the Karnali combo biryani which was awesome had the right heat I asked for spice wise and good amount of all the different meats. My wife got the mango masala which she really enjoyed and isn't always the biggest Indian food fan but she ate hers and ate the leftovers the next day as well. My aunt had chicken korma which she raved about as well. My mother tried the malai kofta she had only tried Indian food once many years ago and this experience confirmed she's not a fan and has a bad taste palette haha. I really enjoyed this dish as well and was happy to have the leftovers the next couple days. We ordered her some chicken tenders from the kids menu but those also had some seasonings more cumin I'd say and others that she didn't enjoy but our 14 month old really enjoyed. So if you have a very picky eater maybe go with one of the other kids options. The white creamy sauce that came with my biryani was also bursting with flavor and had a great cooling sensation. The man who served our table was very friendly and even played peek a boo with our baby from the register area. Place had a nice vibe and was very clean bathrooms included. Definitely will be back and you should go check out this spot!

    I was seriously craving Indian food while visiting Omaha during Memorial Day weekend, and luckily,…read moreKarnali was the only Indian restaurant open nearby that day. We reached the restaurant around 3:30 - 4 PM for a late lunch, and there were a few people dining inside. The restaurant was very clean, the tables were well arranged, and the Indian music playing in the background gave the place a nice cozy vibe. We started with the tandoori chicken and then ordered garlic naan, butter chicken, and two chais for the main meal. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, but it was different from the typical restaurant-style tandoori chicken. It tasted more homemade with regular spices, without the bright red color or smoky restaurant flavor. Still, it was really good. The best part of the meal was actually the sauce served with the chicken. It tasted like a spicy tomato-onion gravy, almost similar to butter chicken sauce, and honestly, I wish the butter chicken we took later had been cooked in that same sauce because it was delicious. The butter chicken was tasty overall - rich and creamy, though the garlic naan could have been better. The naan felt a little too dry and could have used more butter. The chai at the end was ok because it had a bit too much spice and tasted more milky than tea. The service was decent as well. The server was friendly, but while taking our order he wasn't writing anything down and had to ask us to repeat a few things, so that was a little awkward. The food arrived in about 10 minutes, which was pretty quick. One thing to note is that we had to place the chai order along with the food because the server mentioned it takes around 15 minutes or more to prepare. I did feel that the pricing was slightly higher compared to the quality and portion sizes. The tandoori chicken was around $17 ,the butter chicken was about $19 and the Naans $4 each and chais were around $4 each, so the total came close to $55 + w tax or more. Personally, I don't think the food completely matched the pricing and was mediocre. Overall, I had a decent experience and really appreciate that they were open on Memorial Day because they definitely satisfied my Indian food craving. I would definitely recommend trying the tandoori chicken appetizer, especially with the sauce they serve alongside it. I would give the restaurant a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

    Love the food, service is mediocre at best…read more Loved the tandoori shrimp with poratta as Dan Hoppen suggests, making a taco with the chutney. Butter chicken, naan, etc. were delicious as well as the cocktails. The problem here is the food is amazing and the service is poor. The first time we came here we waited for 30+ minutes PAST our reservation time and were never seated. We were not even offered water or a drink, we asked for the manager and never saw one, and stormed out. We waited a year and went back due to people raving about this place and had a OK time, not the best Indian food in the area but a fresh take, OK service. This trip was back to a less than ideal experience. Waited 15 minutes from seating to get a drink order. Didn't even see wait staff telling us they'd be with us soon. I expected this knowing this place is all good food and poor service, so no surprise. We were greeted AS IF this was totally normal, get your table and wait 15 minutes, so no apologies or acknowledgement that we'd even been sitting and waiting. Quickly ordered drinks apps and the meal proceeded as expected, with a more regular pace. At the end of the meal we want a box, to pay and leave. Again, waiting for a long time with no wait staff helping us. I love the food but you can honestly get better Indian food for WAY less money a mile away, and the staff doesn't treat you like you need them and they don't need you. Atmosphere is decent, but didn't have music playing even though they have speakers I can see. The cost of the restaurant does not match the delivery on the service or ambiance. Not sure if the staff is underpaid, or the leadership doesn't honor quality front of house, but it's a total mismatch. We had 2 sets of silverware and one was rolled normal like, the other was rolled up like 6 inches differentiation because of the poor and inconsistent preparation of the silverware/napkin. This would not fly at most every cheap-o restaurant, but apparently here that's what you get. It really seemed like the staff didn't really care. The price point doesn't match the service. Good food, be prepared to wait and expect you're paying for the food not the service.

    Third time here and as before the food is top notch. Probably the best Indian food in town…read more What had change is a dramatic increase in the overall professional feel to the service. Kudos to the owners for training up your staff. We sat at the bar and the service was great. The rest of the room was being tended to promptly as well. We were really impressed!

    Little India was recommended to us by some friends and I'm so glad we finally tried it!…read more When we got there it was pretty empty, but by the time we left on a late Tuesday night, the place was almost full. We also noticed a steady stream of pickup orders going out (always a good sign!) Our server was super friendly and helped us decide from their wide menu. The food was delicious! The tikka masala was definitely our favorite. Portions were great and we happily enjoyed the leftovers the next day. They have a great amount of seating inside, and while the location can feel a little hidden, it is absolutely worth finding. We will definitely be back!

We took a seat with…read moreseveral other tables, all appeared to be regulars based on their friendly conversation with the server. I ordered the Biryani, as recommended by my two friends from India. My wife ordered Malabar Curry with chicken, plus we started with Happy Heart Naan. First, I haven't had Biryani from a local spot in India, but this was great. almost light in weight, but very flavorful. The chicken chunks wer moist and well seasoned. I'd give this a 4.3. I also, thankfully, tried the Malabar Curry w/Chicken and rice. This was very good, reminded me of Saag Chicken in some ways, but this was great, too. I'd give this a 4.8. The real treat was our new discovery of their Happy Heart Naan. This was a perfect bread with light peppers on top. Not spicy, but flavorful. Rate this a 5.0 for price, flavor and texture. Price was nice, service was great, and the food exceeded expectations. We will be regulars, there are many more dishes we wat to try.
