We dined in on Saturday night and tried a variety of items. The appetizers included Dahi Bhalla, Dhokla, and potato pattice. For dessert, we had Rabdi and Jalebi. The main spread consisted of their standard offerings: dal, kadhi, potato sabji, chole, paneer sabji, and undhiyu.
I am always impressed by the service and speed—both are consistently excellent. However, after spending $33.50 per person including gratuity, we left feeling deeply disappointed.
While the food was served fresh, it lacked flavor across the board. The overall taste was not just basic but felt low to mid-grade. The potato pattice, in particular, was a major letdown—it was overloaded with cornstarch, rubbery on the inside, and completely lacking in taste. The mild thali flavors seemed to rely heavily on canned tomato puree, which took away from any depth. The undhiyu was also unevenly cooked, with disproportionate textures.
For a restaurant known for authentic Gujarati cuisine, the menu felt overly ordinary. Dishes like potato sabji, chole, and paneer are everyday household foods, and for a place like this, we expected more exotic and traditional Gujarati preparations—especially when compared to restaurants like Maharaj Bhog that truly showcase the richness of the cuisine.
Additionally, the restroom was very poorly maintained and had an unpleasant odor, which further added to the negative experience.
Overall, it was disappointing to say the least. With their reputation, they could absolutely elevate the experience by offering more distinctive, traditional Gujarati dishes and improving basic upkeep.

Unlimited thali place, but quite heavy on the pocket for the quality and taste offered. The food feels more focused on quantity than flavor. None of the dishes met expectations especially the vegetables, which lacked flavor and felt more like fillers than well-prepared items.
The menu combinations felt poorly thought out. Serving paneer, kadhi, dahi bhalla, basundi, and buttermilk together made the meal feel heavy and uncomfortable, which was disappointing for a place representing a traditional Indian thali. Seating is very cramped, with tables placed extremely close to each other, offering no privacy and making it feel like you’re sitting with the neighboring family.
The staff and manager were polite and attentive, but the serving team seemed unsure about the sequence and timing of dishes, which made the service feel unorganized. Overall, the experience was not worth the price considering the food quality and overall setup.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience at Maharaja Bhog! This is hands-down the best thali I’ve had in Houston. The food tastes just like authentic home-cooked Indian meals — fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light with no greasy aftertaste that you often get at other Indian restaurants. Every dish in the unlimited thali was perfectly seasoned and felt made with care.
The service was outstanding — super attentive, friendly staff who kept checking in and happily refilled our favorites multiple times without any delay. The ambiance is elegant yet welcoming.
Highly recommend for anyone craving high-quality, guilt-free Indian vegetarian food. Will definitely be coming back !

We have been regular customers for a long time, and this has always been my daughter’s favorite place to eat. Unfortunately, over recent visits, we have noticed a consistent decline in both food quality and service.
In addition, the behavior of a gentleman who often wears a suit has made our dining experience uncomfortable. He repeatedly appears to monitor guests and seems to pressure diners to finish quickly. On several occasions, it felt as though normal conversation at the table was being discouraged.
When choosing a sit-down buffet and paying a premium price, we expect to enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace and in a relaxed environment. We value the experience as much as the food itself, and recently that experience has not met the standards we previously appreciated.
We hope this feedback is taken constructively, as we would like to continue visiting and recommending your restaurant, provided these concerns are addressed.

One of a kind experience I would say. I always heard about Indian thalis. This time I experienced with my friends. She recommended me trying something totally new.
Well the location and parking was good. Place was clean. They have several cleaners working as soon as a table is empty. The floor needed extra attention I would say.
Then the food comes one after another. First they give you this customized plate with 8 small bowls/bati. The. The servers walking with ‘Quad bowl’ walks around and refills your bowls. They go around and refill upon request. They asks customers if they need anything extra. The food was very tasty. Each item was different from the other. They also gave 2 different desserts. The rutis were too good too.
One thing i didn’t like was when the other older kids wanted to sit by themselves next to us the manager told them to sit with their mom. I thought that was totally inappropriate. Older kids can have their own space and can sit anywhere as long as they are behaving. And they didn’t go far. They were next to us. Our tables were just not attached. I also think the poeple running the restaurant should smile and greet customers. They had a very stern look and no greetings too. Even the servers didn’t seem warm too. I asked a question about the ingredients and she had no idea. Kept saying it is dessert !!! My Goodness.
Nevertheless if you can ignore these then you will enjoy it.

Wow, I normally don’t do reviews but utter buckwass this food was and the service was even worse. My family had gotten their renown thali and the food lacked much substance and flavor. Their service was not true to what I have seen in these reviews as I am left hungrier than before I came into the store and extremely disatisfied. Please understand before you enter the store the value of your money and to place it into restaurants who do wish to serve you properly and would like to put heart into their food as a passion, not for money.

Great food, very well curated menu for each day, something for everyone (spicy, Less spicy, Jain, etc.). The food tastes fresh!!! And the uncle is super sweet, he makes sure you have the best experience. He makes me think of my family, hospitality at its best.

I was not as fortunate as Anthony Bourdain who had appotunity to have food cooked by one of the Rajasthan ex-king so I had to satisfy my taste buds with this food which was excellent compared to Veg Thali I had else where. They even packed ‘variyali’ – Fennel Seeds as mouth freshener! If you are visiting Houston, this is must to do.

This was my first time here. I haven’t had vegetarian Indian food before so I’m comparing it to meaty Indian food.
When you sit there is an empty tray with 8 empty containers. Servers come quickly to fill everything and as you eat they return to fill the things you want to eat. Is all you can eat.
1. There’s a fried battered vegetable that’s topped with a sweet white sauce that was good. There’s 2 types of roti: white flour and whole wheat. I preferred the former. There’s a green and red sauce but I didn’t use it much.
There’s also salad. Also a bland rice sponge cake.
2. 8 containers:
-Paneer in a butter “chicken” style sauce. My favorite because of the flavors.
-potatoes in a yellow curry
-3 types of lentils: sweet, salt, sour
-sweet milk with rice. I really liked this and treated it as dessert.
-2 other things I forgot what they were
3. A buttermilk drink. It was too funky for me.
Overall a great option for vegetarians and vegans, but not for me. I found it too bland with mild flavors.
