The chefs and staff at the Maharani Indian restaurant in Ipswich, Suffolk are rightly proud of the multitude of awards they've won. They've been named the Caterer of the Year for the East of England by the Bangladeshi Caterers Association, recognised as one of the top 100 curry restaurants in the East at the British Curry Awards, and honoured twice as East Anglia's best Indian restaurant. It's no wonder really, as the team they've assembled is truly dedicated to excellence, with results that speak for themselves.
The owner, Manik, has over three decades' experience in the restaurant business, while the head chef Mokhlis has been working in the industry for nearly 15 years and is renowned for bringing his home-cooking skills to the commercial kitchen with passion for taste and presentation. They're supported by helpful front-of-house staff in making sure every guest enjoys a fine dining experience. In 2014, the Maharani restaurant celebrated its 25th anniversary - a huge milestone and testament to their position as one of Ipswich's favourite, and long-lasting, Indian food destinations.
"Never had a bad meal at the Maharani" is a phrase often repeated by online reviewers, and for a good reason. Quality ingredients, traditional attention to detail and true skill of chef Mokhlis and his team make for a great menu. Several dozen of tandoori, balti, korma, dansak and vegetarian options offer a huge array of options, while Maharani specialities tempt with their unusual combinations. Vegetarians and curry lovers will also find plenty of choice at Maharani, Ipswich.
Thanks to personal attention in everything from food to service, Maharani's guests can always expect to leave not just satisfied, but thoroughly impressed with their experience.
