Delicious food and great service. I will be back! I ordered goat saag, and the meat was very tender.I ordered "medium" spice level, and it was a bit hot for me, so I suggest asking for "mild" if you are a wimp about spice.There are lots of options on the menu.Vegetarian options: Most dishes are offered either with meat or vegetarian.

Omg I can’t not describe the food, it is sooo good. I got the butter chicken and the butter naan, they gave me a rice that came with the butter chicken, the flavors were amazing I pour some of the sauce from the butter chicken on the rice and then at it with naan and the flavors exploded in my mouth!! Definitely

We weren’t sure what to order so we ordered enough for two meals for two. Everything was delicious! And the service was excellent. We will certainly be returning.

Service was excellent, but the food was small portion, expensive, and horrible. The sagg was just bad and bland. It's worse than Ashoka $2 box curry. The Butter chicken was sweet which was strange to me. Overall the food was just not good, and the place is just dirty, as it's one of the most disgusting bathrooms I think I ever used. For the same price you can eat at Tandoor down the road which is 1000x better. Or flavors of India which is cheaper and much better. I did again like the servers as they were respectful and nice.

Huge menu with tremendous variety. We were eight people for dinner and everyone commented on the quality of the ingredients. I was surprised to see they had goat on the menu and found it to be tender, boneless, and fat-free. Anyone who had a mild spice request was happy with that gentle level. We were the only people in the restaurant so it is easy to imagine service slowing way down as it becomes busier. The interior seems well worn and could use a freshening. They add an 18% service charge for groups.

I had dinner at Maharaja Indian Cuisine about a week ago, and found the food quite good. I got Tandoori Chicken, Vegetables Navratan Korma, and Vegetarian Samosa.I would rate it above average for Indian food. Not the best I have ever had, but quite good and well worth the time and money to eat there.The Veggies Korma was perfect -- I wouldn't change a thing about it.The Veggy Samosa was probably frozen from a vendor, which is fine. I have some in my freezer right now. Nothing wrong with that.The Chicken Tandoori was good, but I wish the marinade had been done such that there was a skin on the chicken. Not chicken skin, of course, but that yogurt marinade usually forms a little bit of a skin. This was just a subjective presentation issue, as the taste of the dish was perfectly fine.

I will come again and give this place one more chance to gain 5 stars. But this time I was pretty sad about the food and little sad about the service. The servers were kind but we didn't even finish eating the meals and they already brought us the check, they didn't even ask if we wanted dessert nor waited for us to finish eating. The atmosphere was super nice, not too noisy, nice music in background and nice decoration. The food ~ rice was delicious but there was a hair in it :( and next time I will try something different because the eggplant with potatoes and vegetables had some very hard pieces in it, maybe it was hard oversized seasoning. I will definitely get garlic and onion naans again. Little disappointed but still enjoyed it.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian and vegan options, but be careful some say vegan but have animal butter in it so always ask and make sure its 100% vegan, dont choose the ones that say butter in the name of the mealDietary restrictions: they have many options for many different dietsKid-friendliness: Kids menu available

This is some of the best Indian food I have had in a long time! The butter chicken was spicy and flavorful. The lamb curry was robust and flavorful and the naan ( garlic and onion and cheese) was amazing! We will definitely be back! Super nice staff very clean restaurant
