My wife and I are great fans of Maharaja. It is our favorite restaurant and we've been going once every month or two.
We were married last weekend, and Maharaja provided the catering. As always, the food was amazing. The somosas, curries, and tandori items were all well seasoned, tasty, and well prepared. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food. The staff is helpful and kind. We will keep coming back!
