Without a doubt, the best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten at. Each dish was a masterpiece: unique, fresh, complex, and perfectly prepared. In addition, the ambiance and service were superb. 6/14/2013 8:06:17 PM
Relatively expensive 5/25/2013 10:07:47 PM
the food was excellent. We usually eat here about 6 times a year and have always enjoyed the food. the one minor complaint I have as well as some of my friends is that the cocktails are weak. Other than that, it is a great restaurant and the staff is friendly and do a good job. thanks 5/22/2013 8:12:01 PM
Friendly and attentive service. Made good recommendations, added free serving of yoghurt to cut spiciness for my companion who wasn't used to spicy food. (Also offerred to give a different meal if she had preferred) 5/21/2013 1:59:24 PM

We had an evening appointment, and the server was responsive in serving us promptly, but not in a rushed manner. The non-curry sauces on the respective chicken and tofu entrees were superb, the chardonnay smooth and creamy, the complimentary super thin bread delightful, and the soup and salad tasty. 5/14/2013 6:05:13 PM
Everyone was very impressed with the authentic imported Indian decor and atmosphere of the restaurant, and were very interested by the wide variety of Indian specialties the menu offered (all of us eat Indian food frequently, and we were looking for new specialties to try). The food was very good quality, and it also came out very quickly, which is amazing on a busy Friday night. Furthermore, they have great vegetarian and vegan options, which made three of the five people in the group very happy. However, the restaurant did not take notice of one person's stated request to the server that her food be very mild, so she was unable to eat her dinner until it was sent back to the kitchen and milder version was sent back out. 5/13/2013 10:16:12 AM
Excellent location and service. Parking is the only limitation unless you pay for garage parking, which is expensive. 5/12/2013 8:24:07 PM
My experience here at Maharaja was okay.. i had good food and the service was okay.. but i also felt a little taken for.. yes i should have looked at my bill a little closer but our server could have told us that the tip was already included in the bill when we tipped him.. so we payed double in tips.. and i did not realize that until i got home.. lesson learned 5/9/2013 6:04:22 PM
I just love it, the decor is gorgeous, the waitstaff are always super friendly and attentive, the timing of food is always great (never a ridiculously long wait), and the food is AMAZINGGGG. My favorite spot for Indian 5/9/2013 10:10:50 AM
Felt it was overpriced considering the amount and quality of the food. 4/23/2013 8:04:46 PM
Lovely, elegant surroundings with a great view and excellent service. 4/18/2013 2:04:08 PM
The wait staff was very attentive considering how busy they were. 4/16/2013 2:05:07 PM
Food and cocktails were creative, delicious and wonderful. The service was fabulous and friendly. 4/7/2013 10:03:58 PM
Very good food. Quick and pleasant service. Nice room. 4/4/2013 10:07:07 PM
Our server was very nice. One dish was not hot, he replaced it with another one. He felt bad and said that should not have happen. 4/4/2013 8:20:31 PM
Excellent food. The waitstaff was welcoming and polite beyond belief. Everything was perfect. 3/24/2013 6:16:43 PM
Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful food. The manager and the wait-staff were very accommodating, and went to extra trouble to make sure my dining companion had what she wanted for her meal. 3/15/2013 10:12:10 PM
It would be really nice to know beforehand that your voucher can't be used for alcoholic beverages! 3/14/2013 2:10:54 PM
I ordered my dish medium spicy (Khatta Dhuandar Gosht) but the spice was unbearable -- when I informed my waitress of this, she only offered to bring me yogurt, not replace the meal. When I said no to the yogurt she said, well your mango lassi should help with the burn! Can you imagine? I took all of it to go and shared my friend's meal -- who btw, had ordered her meal spicy but it was rather mild -- which left us to wonder if they had switched our orders? Anyway, I thought I could cook my own rice at home to accompany the sauce-- thinking that if the rice was plentiful, I wouldn't mind or notice the spice -- but that plan was a bust. To add salt to injury -- the container used to pack the sauce was too small for the amount of sauce. It was literally filled to the brim - to the point where it had to spill over no matter how careful you were in opening the plastic container...sigh. All said and done, I don't think I will be going back. For an entree costing $18.95, I had higher expectations. 3/7/2013 4:08:57 PM
The waiter was incredibly gracious, helpful, attentive -- the kind of service that is hard to find. The food was excellent, but the waiter made the evening special. 2/24/2013 8:08:20 PM
very pleasant server and good food 2/16/2013 11:13:49 PM
The service was excellent, the food was delicious. The restaurant is comfortable and not too noisy. 2/16/2013 9:01:14 AM

Highlights

The Maharaja brings to you delectable Indian cuisine with traditional Indian hospitality. Our recipes are prepared by master craftsmen of famed art of Indian gastronomy, cooked with a deft touch of originality that goes back hundreds, perhaps thousands of years.

Here at The Maharaja, although the cooking methods are modernized, we take great care to ensure that the dishes taste as they did during the era when the art of cooking received royal patronage of the great Mughal emperors of Hindusthan, the well known gourmet Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Lucknow and the all time great connoisseur, Maharaja Bhupendra Singh of Patiala. We have also drawn from the recipes of the royal kitchens of Sailana, a princely state of yesteryear, renowned even amongst the royalty of that time for serving the finest Indian cuisine on their banquet tables.

The recipes we use have been compiled through meticulous research that spans over three generations. During this we not only cajoled established hotel chefs to part with some of their professional secrets, we also persuaded master cooks elsewhere; especially of innumerable dhabas or roadside eateries that line the highways in India. Dhabas in India are famous for serving some of the finest 'finger licking' food cooked with closely guarded family recipes, many of which remain unrecorded and are only passed down from father to son.

In the true Indian tradition, at The Maharaja, we treat you like a Maharaja! Our quest to bring to you authentic and delicious Indian food continues. We will constantly strive to bring you the very best to make your visit a memorable experience.
