It was so good forgot to take picture before devouring half of it. Quick service, tasty edibles, and a great atmosphere here! I really enjoyed the masala and the sampler! Sauces were delightful

My husband and I decided to have veggie diet every two weeks according to Luna calendar, so we found this restaurant via google. The waitress is a shy but very nice young lady, her smile is very warm. The food we ordered was FANTASTIC! I think I fall in love with Indian food instantly. By order, the dishes are: Onion Bihaji, Veggie platter, Vindaloo with veggie, Kadai veggie and garlic nan. I never thought veggie diet could be so so delious, and surprisingly help to loose weight!🤭 Anyway, we decided to go there again next weekend to try their non-veggie cuisine, I bet it would be even better! 🤞🏻

I recently had my first visit to this Indian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight. The curry goat was exceptional, bursting with rich flavors that left a lasting impression. The drinks were fabulous, adding a perfect complement to the already fantastic dining experience. Every dish I tried was incredibly flavorful, making this restaurant a definite 5-star gem.

This culinary expedition at Maharaja Indian Restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. Amidst my extensive dining experiences this year, including numerous visits to Indian eateries, this one stands tall as the zenith. It's a rarity for me to grant a perfect five-star rating, but this establishment unequivocally earned it. Commencing with a libation, the Flying Horse Royal from Bangalore graced my palate with its remarkable flavors. The Vegetable Samosas, a gustatory marvel, boasted an impeccably crispy shell enveloping a treasure trove of explosive flavors. However, the apex of this gastronomic journey was undeniably the Paani Poori. These ethereal, hollow spheres, filled with chickpeas and potatoes, filled with "dirty water," then embellished with an assortment of chutneys, were nothing short of revelatory. Speaking of chutneys, the trio of mint, tamarind, and pepper offerings were unparalleled, so delightful that I found myself savoring them independently after the meal's conclusion. The Tandoori Murg, a house specialty, showcased a spring chicken marinated in Tandoori Masala and yogurt, then masterfully charred in a Tandoor oven over smoldering charcoal. The result? Pure culinary bliss. Accompanied by what I believe to be Dal Makhani, a lentil dish that tantalized the taste buds, it was an ensemble of perfection. The Garlic Naan, light, crispy, and imbued with an aromatic garlic essence, proved to be the finest I've encountered in quite some time. Even though I dined solo, every morsel of this exceptional meal vanished into my eager appetite, leaving me delightfully stuffed. To top it off, a complimentary dessert, Ras Malai, graced my table—homemade farmer's cheese adorned with pistachios, swimming in sweetened milk. My initial reluctance to indulge further was shattered by its irresistible allure. The service, delivered by a cadre of amiable individuals, was nothing short of excellent. Without reservation, I implore you not to overlook this gastronomic gem. A dining experience at Maharaja Indian Restaurant is an absolute must.

Beautiful interior and awesome hosting! Loved every bit of the moment and food. Raja thali is perfect for two people as a main meal. Thali comes with a lentil soup. It was too good that I forgot to take a picture. I believe they have the best Chai Masala tea. I love the balance and consistency of that tea with the light punch of Ginger and other masala's. We came back today to have tea again. We wanted to come for dinner but we are also trying out other restaurants. While trying other Indian restaurant we missed the Masala Chai of Maharaja... It seemed they were surprised that we just ordered Chai and Papad. But we loved having tea over there. We are going to go back for lunch or dinner again. It is worth going. Tea(2)&Papad: $11 Rajathali & tea (2): $30-$35 (not completely remember but aroundish)

The food is good. It was fresh and good. Some things we found were like the chat was a little dry and salty. Overall ,the ambience is great and they serve the food in traditional dishes.

This was our first time ordering. Portions were plentiful and flavors were rich. The jasmine rice was a bit dry and disappointing. Definitely worth a second visit.

Food and service was great! Very authentic. Staff was pleasant and attentive. A little bit of a language barrier which just adds to the authenticity of the experience. Highly recommend!

The only reason this place doesn’t have a higher rating is the comically negligent service. The food is absolutely delicious! The malai kofta was richer and more flavorful than typical. So, the service. The vindaloo was decently spicy so I needed water. The water jug already ran out. I asked for water three times and it was *never* refilled. We finished eating so we just asked for the check. The waitstaff asked if he can take the water jug away. Not clearing the plates, not waiting to clear the water jug after we leave; no, specifically to clear only the water jug. I didn’t know how to react so I just said yes, and he whisked the water jug away. I had never been so confused, amused, and offended like this in a restaurant setting. But at least now I have a story out of it.

A Last Minute Lunch We hadn’t planned on going to Maharaja Indian Restaurant for lunch but found ourselves hungry and decided to stop in. Arriving about 25 minutes before closing, the manager informed us as we walked in that the restaurant would be closing soon. We took this as a suggestion to order quickly. And we did. For our lunch, we chose samosas, garlic nan, chicken kofta masala, murg keema (both mild spice), and cokes. The samosas came out quickly along with a trio of condiments. Fried to a golden brown, flaky crisp, the samosas were hot and flavorful. Our meal followed in a timely manner and was served with perfectly cooked herbed rice. The dishes are served in beautiful, well-used, copper saucepans which match the copper vessels set on tables that are filled with water. Both dishes had good flavor but might have benefited from a bit more heat/spice. The restaurant itself is lovely and comfortable and the service was spot on. We did not ask for, nor was it offered, a second soda so we don’t know if refills are free. I would say this was a good, solid meal and a restaurant worth trying.

Waited 25mins for the waitress to come and take my order. Ordered the mutton, got nothing but bones and fat pieces, took my order back to remake it, basically took the same order and put it in a different serving pot, and told me that’s the best they can do! The food here is starting to go down hill, I don’t know if they changed ownership or cooks but it’s not good

The service was fine, but the overall food experience was disappointing. The beer was served warm instead of chilled. The shrimp was overcooked and dry, and the food overall tasted reheated—almost like airplane food. We ordered the tandoori platter, which wasn’t fresh or sizzling, and the meats seemed overcooked and prepared earlier in the day. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.
