"Taking over the former Mellow Mushroom in Herndon, Maharani Palace Fine Indian Cuisine and Lounge serves upscale North Indian dishes from owner and head chef Need Kamal — butter chicken, an array of biryanis, mutton kofta, goat soup, and other specialties — alongside Indo-Chinese items like chicken manchurian and Szechuan fried rice; drinks include creamy lassis, chai, and Mohabbat kaSharbat, a rose milk shake served on Old Delhi streets." - Emily Venezky
