" I have to rave about this restaurant! Maharaja Fine Indian Cuisine is a hidden gem in Charlottesville. I have tried many Indian restaurants in the area, and this one takes the cake. The flavors were authentic and true to the Indian cuisine that I grew up loving. The lamb korma was delightful with just the right amount of spice. I was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients, and the service was impeccable. We arrived during peak hours but were seated quickly and the staff was exceptionally courteous. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is simply divine! We tried multiple dishes during our visit, including the Goan lamb curry and dal makhani. They were rich, spicy, and packed with flavor. The service was friendly, making us feel at home, and our waiter was quite attentive. However, the decor could use some updating, as it felt a bit outdated. That said, the quality of the food definitely made up for it. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were very pleased with our experience! The garlic naan was the best I have ever had, and the paneer tikka masala was both rich and full of flavor. It is clear that the chefs take pride in their work, which enhanced our overall dining experience. The waitstaff was polite and attentive, and the atmosphere felt authentic, setting just the right mood for a great dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to try a new Indian restaurant, but Maharaja exceeded my expectations! The chai was authentic and tasted just like the ones I tried back in India. Their lunch buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, and everything was fresh and warm. I enjoyed trying new dishes, and I particularly loved the spinach curry. The atmosphere was inviting, but it could use a bit of brighter lighting. I would definitely come back for the lunch buffet again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a terrible experience here. The food was awful—not fresh, the chicken seemed old, and the naan was mediocre at best. Service wasn't much better, as I felt neglected during my meal. The ambiance did nothing to make up for it, and I will not be returning. Very disappointing visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to Maharaja for years and it never disappoints! Whenever I'm craving Indian food, this is my go-to place. The food is consistently delicious and offers the traditional flavors I love. The staff is incredibly friendly and always make me feel welcome. The only con would be the seating, which can be cramped during peak times. However, the taste of the food definitely makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience! The food was overwhelmingly great, but what really stood out was the hospitality. The servers made an effort to engage and ensure we enjoyed our meal. The environment was charming, although a little dark. The chicken tikka was juicy, and the dessert was a fantastic finish. I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
