" It’s been a while since we’ve tried Maharaja. I had forgotten how good the flavors are! The dishes we tried were freshly made, and the attention to detail in the spices is evident. I particularly enjoyed the mix of vegetarian and meat options on the buffet. The service was pleasant, which added to a nice evening. I walked away feeling satisfied and happy! I will definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Maharaja last weekend for dinner. The atmosphere was inviting, and the aromas from the kitchen were mouth-watering. We ordered the butter chicken and vegetable biryani. The butter chicken was creamy and well-spiced, but I found the biryani lacking in flavor. The naan was delightful, but I wish the portion sizes were a bit more generous, especially at the price point. Nonetheless, we had a lovely meal and the staff was pleasant throughout our visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ll be honest, I’ve had better Indian food elsewhere. While the service was polite, the food lacked the depth of flavor I associate with Indian cuisine. The chicken korma was passable but not memorable. The decor was nice, but the atmosphere felt slightly stale. Unfortunately, I probably won't return, as I prefer more authentic tastes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food with a great ambiance! We had a lovely time during our dinner. The shrimp curry was one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. Service was impeccable, and they made sure we were well taken care of during our meal. I highly recommend the mango lassi as well; great refresher! I can’t wait to eat here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! From start to finish, our dining experience at Maharaja was simply delightful. The atmosphere transports you to India, and the food made every effort to transport your taste buds there too! I tried a mix of appetizers, and the flavors were out of this world. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is that I wish they had a larger drink menu. Otherwise, a fantastic experience overall! " (*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*)
