Have been here about 5 times now and every time food is excellent and never disappoints! The service is prompt, friendly and the food is always consistently yummy! Will always be a regular customer here and you can use your entertainment vouchers here too!

Few of us went there for dinner. Service and Food were excellent. Partner and i had mixed entrees and lamb vindaloo and chicken vindaloo, we asked for extra hot and definitely came out with extra hot. Love it. Want dessert but can’t make to that :(

This is the best indian i have been. Definitely will go back!!!

Ordered the lamb biriyani as a take-away. This was after a long time (1 year at least) that I visited Maharajas. Was quite disappointed with the quality. Quite greasy, quantity less than I remembered and had to pay extra for raita. I normally get my biriyani from an Indian place in Maungaraki and I might have got used to their superior quality but I feel this one (Maharajas) is well below par especially considering the price is exactly the same.
Reading the reviews seems poor quality food is only an issue with take-aways. Would be interesting to read experiences of other take-away customers.

Love this place, it is always trustworthy and good value for money. The staff are friendly and always helpful with new suggestions if you want something a little bit different. My favourite dish is th Shrimp Pataya – absolutely beautiful and well worth a try.

As this is a BYO and quite large is great for groups. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good solid curry, is by the far the best in the Hutt Valley.

We visited Maharaja’s Indian Restaurant a few days ago and I am happy to report it is the best Indian food I have experienced. We ordered the vegetarian appetizer plate (for two) and were astounded by how good the onion bjahi were. The entire platter was delicious, but the chef at Maharaja’s knows how to make phenomenal bhaji. I highly recommend ordering the veg platter. As a main I ordered the palak paneer, medium spicy. Best ever. As compared to other Indian palak paneer dishes which tend to be over-creamy, this was rich and deep green with ample cottage cheese bits. My husband ordered the lamb rogan josh, spicy. It too was delicious. He also ordered a mango lassi which was delicious. We redeemed an Entertainment Book coupon for this meal, but even without it the meal would be very reasonably priced. They do package left-overs to-go for a very modest fee ($1) which we were happy to pay. The servers were delightful, and the decor was super-cool. Make sure to check out the snake bannister! Our highest praise for this dining experience.

We had a group of 11 and went there after hearing great things. Was not disappointed. The service was great, though it wasn’t busy on a Wednesday night. We sampled nearly all the dishes between us. With the entertainment book, worked out very ecomonical – $23 (for entree and main) – will go back in a heartbeat

My husband and I went to Maharaja’s for dinner for the 2nd time in 2 weeks tonight and as always it was fantastic! 2 weeks ago we had my husbands 30th birthday dinner and they couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and attentive. The service is always really good, lots of smiles and very nice. The food is AMAZING!! Definitely the best curries around! You have to try the Kathi rolls with the mint chutney, a real winner! Well done to the team at Maha’s, the best Indian Restaurant in the Hutt Valley :)

Take away delivery, Lamb Rogan Josh, Rice and Keema Naan.

Ordered by phone, painless and good communication skills on the part of the person taking the order. Order delivered within the promised time by an older gentleman who seemed to be hankering after a tip, which I was unable to produce.

Upon opening the meal, The Rogan Josh looked a little watery, the rice a little overcooked and the Keema Naan a little ‘floppy’.

The ‘lamb’ in the Lamb Rogan Josh was remarkably beef-like and the watery look of the dish was borne out by the taste. To be honest, I’ve had nicer beef stews.

The rice WAS overcooked and the Keema Naan lived up to its floppy looks.

You ever had one of those ‘I wish I hadn’t bothered’ moments? Well I’ve just had one. Uninspiring.

My family went here for dinner last night. I’m glad we went early (7pm) becasue by 8, the place was packed.
The service was very friendly and helpful.
The food was amazing. Lots of choices. Definitely something to suit every taste. Spiced to perfection too. Just hot enough to break a sweat. We have probably eaten at every local Indian restaurant, and this one had the best Rogan Josh I have tasted. At $100 for the 3 of us, it is certainly not the cheapest restaurant in the area. However, the food, service and atmosphere made it well worth every dollar spent. We will certainly be dining there again !

We had a fabulous meal at Maharaja’s this week. The menu is extensive, offering multiple choices for each type of meat or vegetarian dish, and we appreciated our waiter’s recommendations for accompanying rice and breads. Our meals were delicious. We are thoroughly impressed with the service here; friendly, informative, and very prompt. Even though rice is charge separately, Maharaja’s is great value when using the Entertainment Book Gold Card (25% discount). We’ll definitely be back.
