Maharani — A regal name for the Queen City, where tradition meets taste.
Since opening its doors in June 2002, Maharani Indian Cuisine has become a beloved part of Charlotte’s culinary landscape. Located at 901 South Kings Drive, Maharani—meaning “queen”—is a fitting name for a restaurant in the heart of the Queen City.
Owned and operated by Amandeep Singh, a native of New Delhi, and his wife Manjeet, who welcomes guests in traditional sari attire, Maharani is known not only for its authentic cuisine but also for its warm and genuine hospitality.
At Maharani, every dish tells a story. Rooted in the rich culinary traditions of North India, the menu showcases a variety of flavorful dishes, each prepared with its own unique blend of spices. Inspired by the 16th-century origins of this cuisine—when beauty, elegance, and a love for the good life shaped the dining experience—Maharani continues that legacy today.
From the vibrant flavors to the thoughtful presentation and the ceremonial art that decorates the space, Maharani offers a dining experience that is both authentic and elegant. Whether you’re joining us for dine-in, pickup, or delivery, we invite you to savor the taste of tradition and hospitality.
Maharani, home of the best Indian Cuisine, specializes in full-service catering, including buffet. We deliver in the radius of 300 miles for big parties like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, sangeet, and mehendi.

Hope it stays around for many more years to come! lisa henderson2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you haven’t been to Maharani you are missing out. We’ve been customers for over 20 years. Great and very consistent food. Strong family run business. They do a ton of takeout, but we highly recommend dining in as well. Also, very easy to park and find next to Run for Your Life. Thanks for offering quality Indian food in a clean, pleasant, and welcoming atmosphere to the Charlotte community.
