Maharani – Authentic Indian & Middle Eastern Cuisine in Ash Flat, AR

We stopped by Maharani’s in Ash Flat to grab some takeout and decided to try the gyro sandwich. It was absolutely delicious—fresh, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor! The server was very friendly and made our quick stop a pleasant experience. The place is simple, nice, and cozy – nothing fancy, but it has a warm and welcoming vibe that makes it feel like a hidden gem in a small town. We’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu!

Coming from someone who has eaten food in the Middle East. This restaurant is the real deal! Make sure you order the garlic naan with whatever meal you choose! You can't go wrong!!

The food and service here were incredible! We had the butter chicken, garlic naan and hummus with pita. The pita was fresh fried and crispy. The hummus was creamy and lemony. The butter chicken was tender and served with fluffy saffron rice. I also ordered Chai and it was served on a beautiful golden service and was the best chai I have ever had. My son (6) mentioned that he wished his dinner was on a gold tray and the sweet server did that for him. The server was attentive, kind and fantastic.

We visited this restaurant all the way from Omaha, NE! As lovers of Indian food, it's always a gamble trying it in a small town, but Maharani did not disappoint! Even if you don't like Indian food, they still have plenty of American food options, like steak, burgers, and chicken fried steak to choose from. But as far as the food goes, it was great! Our food was spiced very nicely, it seemed like it was very authentic and they gave good portions. At first I thought I would need more, but it ended up being more than I could eat! So we had to take leftovers. We also ordered chai, which was served on a beautiful, traditional and ornate tea set fit for royalty. The one girl serving us was the most down to earth, friendly and hardworking lady. She was able to handle the entire place and made sure all of the guests were well taken care of. The classical images on the walls were beautiful and pleasant, not gaudy as some Indian restaurants sometimes have. Lastly, I had to make room for cheesecake, because...cheesecake :D and there were about a dozen choices for dessert. I went with the turtle cheesecake and it was delicious. If you're ever in this area, please give Maharani a try! We will definitely be going back when we are in the area again! My only wish is that they would get some paneer for the saag!

Staff was so nice! Indian food with great flavor! I loved the garlic naan. The Tikka masala and rice was aromatic. The other dish had a spicy kick but very good!

The gyro was delicious. The waitress was informative and very friendly. It was our first time there, and we will definitely go back! Try something different. You will love it!

4.5 stars as there's always room for improvement ;) Graciously welcoming friendly and efficient staff. Widely varied menu. My Lamb Birhani was delicious,lightly spiced. Taziki sauce was the perfect accompaniment. The aroma from the beautifully presented Chai took me to another place. Chai was so wonderful,I took some over ice with me. YUM! much healthier than iced latte... Have an adventure, eat here. :)

Foodcwas amazing and the owner and servers were amazing as ell. Highly reccomend. They also have American and Italian dishes as well!! The prices are great and you get a ton of food.
