I had an order of the most delicious wings cooked in a tandoori oven they were the juiciest ,tender and most flavorful jumbo wings I have had in a long time. Accompanied with this, I had also ordered a couple of bowls of M soup, one for lunch and wanted to take home later. It was also delicious, flavorful, aromatic and very filling. They also gave me a bowl of lentil soup was very tasty and also very nice of them. It's always a wonderful experience eating quality food on a consistent basis. Maharaja proves once again it can be done. Thank you Dalip and crew for such a delicious meal. Well done!

Absolutely delicious. The chicken tikka masala was thicker than what we usually have, but it made for a hardier dish. The lamb saag was moist and tender with a slight hint of mint. The naan was perfectly crispy and chewy at the same time. Lots of garlic sprinkled on top. So fragrant. And our apps were super flavorful. Everything was served in quaint copper ware. Even the glasses for water were copper. Add superb service and distinct decor and it made for a wonderful dining experience.

I've only driven past here roughly a million times and never stopped in. I will say I'm quite the novice when it comes to Indian, but luckily my date was a pro. It was really nice inside! Great table settings, nice decor. Cute spot for sure. We started with drinks and for me, the Tamarind Margarita was delicious. I love a drink with strong savory notes and this was perfect. We decided to start with an appetizer and we chose the Combo Platter for some variety. The dish was a mix of veg and meat appetizers - beef samosa, chicken samosa, veg samosa, aloo tikki, chicken pakora. The samosas were exploding with flavor and the house sauces on the table just amped it up. The chicken pakora was my favorite. It was basically fried chicken thigh pieces, so flavorful and juicy and crispy. I would totally order that next time, and there will be a next time! We ordered three mains to share - chicken tikki masala, lamb vindaloo and tandoori murg half order. This came with a pot of rice and of course we ordered some naan. The chicken tikka masala was my favorite, it was so flavorful, warm, creamy, tender, really well prepared and delicious. The lamb vindaloo was pretty spicy hot for me, but I can't turn down lamb, so I did enjoy a bit and the meat was so good and tender it just fell apart. The tandoori chicken was shockingly good. It was a half a chicken, and the bone in thigh was so juicy as soon as you broke past the charred exterior. It was such an excellent meal and we each had a to-go box, and Indian left overs are the best. I am so happy I finally decided to try here. I see myself getting takeout frequently in the future. The service was a little slow at times, but that happens and the meal itself was so worth it. Trust me, I'm currently eating those left overs.
