Maharani — Restaurant in Hamburg

Maharani is an elegant Indian restaurant that has many vegan options. The chefs are from northern India and have a lot of experience in creating unique Indian dishes. We started with a chutney platter: tamarin, mango, chili, and cilantro. It was served with papadam bread seasoned with caraway that is vegan and gluten-free (rice and lentil flour). The presentation is very charming and the atmosphere is comfortable. The inside is decorated with many Indian items and comfortable sitting throughout the restaurant.

By far, one of the best Indian restaurants in Hamburg. To start with, it is not a shady shack but a proper full fledged restaurant. It makes you want to sit and eat.

This was honestly the best indian food experience I ever had in Hamburg. You wouldn't tell from the outside, but the inside is super warm and comfortable, cozy familiary atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and friendly and the food.... oh my god, the food. We were completely amazed by all tastes, especially as somebody who eats indian rather frequently this the food here just topped everything. Portions are generous and prices fair, less expensive than in some similar places. Besided allergens and vegan options were clearly marked and explanations to culiturally specific ingredients were given. Will definitely go again and would recommend...
