Today I tried Paneer Tikka Masala and Mix Vegetable Kadai, and both dishes were very tasty and well prepared. The flavors were rich and authentic. I also tried the Mango Mojito mocktail, which was refreshing and delicious. The staff was friendly, and the service was good.
Overall, a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a good Indian restaurant.

Everything was wonderful and we will definitely come back when we are nearby. The food was amazing; we each had a cocktail/mocktail, shared appetizers, and a mix of entrées. Our servers were friendly and had helpful recommendations. It was nicely decorated with comfortable booths and tables.

What a gem! Flavorful food and big portions 🙂 I was very impressed with the flavors I tasted in the curry, briyani, kadai, and saag. The garlic naan was delicious and the drinks were superb. The service was wonderful with helpful staff, and a calm and friendly atmosphere. My family has been coming here for a while and we love it every time. I definitely recommend for everyone.

This restaurant’s average review is below what it should be – it’s a stand-out Indian restaurant that should have closer to a five-star rating! Number one, we were the only white people there – on a weekend no less – which was a good sign walking in; and number two, our meals were delicious! The lamb saag and chicken tandoor were excellent, and they gave us really generous portions of raitha and of fluffy jasmine rice. Def will be back when we have errands to run in the Colonie area!

We order takeout from maharaja often. The food is delicious. We went in person tonight and had a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our server made great recommendations. The food and the cocktails were delicious. We put in a takeout order for an appetizer and our server made sure it came out fresh for us before leaving. We spent a little over $100 for two but had 3 appetizers (one to go) 2 entrees, 2 side orders of naan, and 2 cocktails. It feels very reasonably priced to me a well worth the quality.

We were greeted with a smile and seated quickly.
The restaurant is clean as is the bathroom.
The service was great and the food was wonderful. Decent size portions as we all left with leftovers.
The only thing was the music was not what I would expect but not a big deal.
Overall I would recommend.

The food is good. It was fresh and good. Some things we found were like the chat was a little dry and salty. Overall ,the ambience is great and they serve the food in traditional dishes.

The only reason this place doesn’t have a higher rating is the comically negligent service. The food is absolutely delicious! The malai kofta was richer and more flavorful than typical.
So, the service. The vindaloo was decently spicy so I needed water. The water jug already ran out. I asked for water three times and it was *never* refilled. We finished eating so we just asked for the check. The waitstaff asked if he can take the water jug away. Not clearing the plates, not waiting to clear the water jug after we leave; no, specifically to clear only the water jug. I didn’t know how to react so I just said yes, and he whisked the water jug away. I had never been so confused, amused, and offended like this in a restaurant setting. But at least now I have a story out of it.

I recently had my first visit to this Indian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight. The curry goat was exceptional, bursting with rich flavors that left a lasting impression. The drinks were fabulous, adding a perfect complement to the already fantastic dining experience. Every dish I tried was incredibly flavorful, making this restaurant a definite 5-star gem.
