Visited Maharani at Royal Cliff Beach Pattaya and had an exceptional experience! Chef Hira, a true culinary maestro, personally welcomed me and crafted a delightful dish with the perfect blend of Indian flavors. My appreciation goes beyond words for his ability to recreate the dish I loved from the hotel's breakfast buffet. A must-visit for those who appreciate exquisite Indian cuisine with a touch of personalized excellence.

A taxi trip from walking street will cost around 300 baht .A great welcome awaits in magnificent surroundings. The service and staff are impeccable, including the chef ,a very charming man .We had Thali ,veg or meat option ,all cooked to perfection. The drinks are also good ,and not too expensive. THE Thali was 500 baht but worth very baht .If you like Indian food this us not to be missed ,a taxi back is organised for you costin 250 baht .

The food to begin with was absolutely perfect, delicious and so very authentic. The manager checked on us if the food was good and the staff were fabulous overall 5 star service. Last but not the least the chef Mr. Hira personally came and asked if the food was okay which was truly one of the finest

The food at maharani is delicious and the chef is very cooperative and he also arranged a beautiful setup for the birthday.
Everything prepared which we ordered was just super yummy and totally fresh. Paneer , manhcurian and biryani must try.

The Indian Food in this restaurant is probably still the best one available in and around Pattaya. (See below)
Only three tables were occupied. The service which we encountered today was below any standard: it starts with the shabby, un-ironed place mats and the service personnel [was] slow and un-attentive. (At one stage I had to get up myself to fetch the jug of water and new cutlery!)
What has become of the excellent service of yesteryears?

I enjoyed the food here so much! The food was incredible. The daal in particular was divine- so much ghee 😍 the masala tea as well! The chef Hira personally came to check on the food and the manager of the restaurant Khun Veerawan was so amiable and attentive. 15/10

I'll confess: I've been here more than a dozen times already. I always stay at the hotel in which this restaurant is located, but even if I did not, I would still return to eat at this Indian restaurant.
I have quite a few reasons.
I'd already been to a few Indian restaurants in central Pattaya prior to ever trying Maharani. All of them were terrible. Maharani was not.
The flavors here are delicate. One curry did not taste the same as the next, as if one generic spice mix was used for all.
While I do regret they got rid of some of my favorite appetizers since I started coming (such as the hara bara kebabs), there is enough on the menu to keep me coming back.
This time around, my wife opted not to come, so I went alone, ordering both a kedai paneer and a mushroom matar. The latter is a nice twist on a common Indian dish normally known as aloo matar. Maharani used mushroom instead of potato. Two orders of onion khulcha (a type of bread) were also ordered.
The portions are large.
It's hard to take reviews seriously. Everyone says the place they are reviewing is the best such-and-such food in wherever.
I've actually tried some of the best in Bangkok and a number of the mundane in Pattaya. I have something to compare Maharani against.
This is first class Indian at an affordable price.
Will I return?
Is the sky blue?

The Maharani restaurant in Pattaya is the reigning queen of Indian cuisine, as the name would imply. A magnificent setting with a stunning perspective, a regal venue. A restaurant that is highly recommended for its delicious food, authentic Indian flavor, top-notch service, and modest staff.

The food and service was next level at the Maharani. Have you ever went to a restaurant and said "one time is enough" but because of the poor food or service. We actually stated that because we felt 'we could not get any better than that, it was a food orgasm of flavors and spices, and it was just that great!!

Super highly recommend.
Today I’m here with family and it’s first time for family members. At first I was a little bit worried that they will enjoy with Indian foods or not. But after we tried it, we all like it. That taste is amazing, if you never try Indian foods before, here’s the good choice to try. And cannot skip about the view and service are very nice. We’re enjoyed.

Excellent indian cuisine served to us. we had maharani dal which was spicy and very tasty, clearly slow cooked to get the right flavors. the chicken tikka and murgh maharani masala was both with very good flavors. all making justice to the indian cuisine i know from my travels in india. the good food was paired with the gold selection red wine which was a great match.

We spent couple days at hotel for parents’ birthday. And service we got from staff is incredible, especially our room service meal from Maharani Resturant is outstanding quality. My parents (senior adults) love the food and meal had no MSG contained, which was really excellent. We love the spa and everything about it. Special thanks to Mr.Nilesh Kosti and best hospitality during our stayed. We can’t wait for our next visit there.
