My son kindly went with me for dinner because he doesn 't really like Indian food and I love it! We shared the samosas to start, the vegetarian ones because that 's my diet. HOT and crispy deliciousness. Great start for both. My son had the chicken tikka (mild and I had the veggie sabzi jalfrezi (kick a . We also had garlic naan and onion rice. I promise you we didn 't leave any. Everything came sizzing hot and so very tasty. My son polished off his and then finished off mine sabzi jalfrezi, which was some brilliantly hot and tasty curry. He had to walk his Indian food belief back after dinner at the Maharaja! We have one more dinner together next week before I fly home and we thought we knew where we were going, but now my son wants to try the lamb samosas and the butter chicken. My meal was so good I plan to repeat it. I 'm jealous my son lives nearby. One caveat: the service was attentive, but it took quite a while for the food to come out. The restaurant was busy, and clearly it deserves that because it 's excellent and they don 't shortchange the quality. It was worth the wait.
From the moment you enter The Maharajah you are treated like the most important person there. The staff are all so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about all their dishes. When myself and 5 other guests visited it was a busy Saturday night, but the professionalism and calmness of the staff was like a Tuesday night. If thats not enough reason to visit you wait until you try the food…. Out of this world! Hand on heart it is the best and most flavoursome Indian cuisine i have ever had! Thank you to all the staff for such a great dining experience.
Very busy restaurant and you can see why. The food was lovely, solid curry and vegetable rice. If I were to be critical I didn’t appreciate the lack of clarity on the poppadom and pickle tray. I was told by a member of staff that pickle tray came with the poppadoms (which makes sense) to subsequently be charged £6.95 for the dips which is outrageously expensive. If you want a really solid curry in a busy environment then this is for you.
Food was of generally good quality. Karai Gosht was very good and the lamb chops were also great. Not so great was the Butter chicken which had a weird citrons tang : was ok but not what my son was expecting. Starters good bhaji good as was the mixed kebab (if small) and the garlic mushrooms. With only two drinks purchased for a starters and mains for 4 £150.00. I felt expensive for what we had but I enjoyed the meal.
