The atmosphere was very welcoming—cozy and warm with the soft glow of candlelight on each table. The service was outstanding; it wasn’t just one server taking care of us, but several staff members making sure everything was perfect. Their attentiveness made the experience feel extra special. On top of that, the food was absolutely wonderful. Overall, a truly delightful dining experience!

We love Indian food, so we were excited to try this place. We went on a weekday evening and there was lots of seating available. The decor could use a refresh. What truly stands out is the service. The service was great and everyone was very friendly. Food was good – not entirely blown away by it, but solid. Parking was on the street.

The people were super nice and the food was great!! We had main dishes that ranged from chicken to lamb and mild to hot. Everything was presented well and on point.

We happened to dine in a group of 5 people for dinner at Maharaja. The vegetarian food is not good. Paneer butter masala was not good in taste and the gravy was very watery. Paneer pakoda and papad served with tamarind and coriander chutney was good in taste.
Overall, the ambiance was good but the food is not worth the price. The service was extremely slow, it took about an hour to get the food served.

We used to come here very often then stopped as quality went down. Went back yesterday and it was worse than we remembered in the past. Server was unpleasant and despite a nearly empty room was no where to be found most of our evening there. Hot tea was luke warm at best and served in the tiniest cup, Naan was very charred on one side, and chicken was tough. The flavors of the sauces in our entrees were very tasty though. Overall I feel that if the server was nicer and more attentive we could have had some of our issues resolved (like tea made with hot water and Naan that wasn’t so burned. High prices for small portions and inattentive staff.

Signs around the location share reviews as the “Best Indian Restaurant” in the area, and I believe it! The smells pulled us inside, and the food kept us there. The North Indian style cuisine offered gluten free options (not sure if celiac safe, I’m not celiac) for crispy fritters, plus fragrant rice and rich curries. The meat was fall-apart.

Delicious buffet and masala chai. They brought out freshly cooked chicken because we arrived toward the end of lunch. Delightful owners.

What a FANTASTIC Authentic Indian Food!!
After Visiting Temple, I took my family to Maharaja Restaurant as I had heard much about that .
Waitress explained the menu Very nicely. We ordered some drinks and we preferred to go for the buffet. I liked crispy Punjabi style pakoras and manchurian.
Noodles I didn’t like. They could have been made much better.
Potatoes and peas vegetable was very delicious. Even I liked Shahi Paneer preparation. Others in my family liked non vegetarian food too like Lamb curry, chicken tikka masala, Fish Fry but being vegetarian I was happy with very yummy garlic naan . All dishes were fresh and it tasted like homemade food. My son loved the Mysore Masala dosa with the sambar.
They serve Gol Guppas in the buffet but need improvement.
The drinks (certain type) were included in the buffet
Dessert like gulab jamun and kheer was perfect and they also served Mango ice cream on demand. I tasted everything but preferred Hot Gulab jamuns.
Service was super good. Friendly and generous reception . Everything neat and clean. Furniture setting was good and surprisingly no table was vacant. Sarah was our server and she made sure everything was taken care of.
Best thing, we all got private parking.

One if the finest Indian Restaurant i have tried in months. I loved how our server (Sarah) was very considerate, helpful and very smart. I lived the way she introduced herself on the table that she will be making sure everything is taken care of.
We went there in a party of 8 after my sister’s engagement. Since we went for the lunch, there was buffet or we could order Ala-Carte. We chose the buffet as it so many options – both in vegetarian and meat.
Couple drinks were included in the menu. I ordered Mango and Orange Mimosa and few others on the table ordered Taj Mahal Beer.
From what i could recall – they had Mysore masala dosa, pakoras, sambar, fish fry, paneer tikka masala, noodles, lamb curry, chicken curry, matar paneer, Manchurian, Pani Puri, salad. – i am still missing 5-6 items.
But food quality was very good. The naan are served hot on the table.
We enjoyed our food and then in desserts ate Gulab Jamun, kheer, and mango ice cream.
The owner of the restaurant was always in the dining area making sure everything is taken care of well.
Definitely a place to try if you are in Milwaukee area.

We’re from Madison, WI. The Indian Restaurants here no longer serve buffets, so we decided to try our luck in Milwaukee. Glad we did. We were greeted very graciously by our host/mgr as well as their super friendly waitstaff. Already a HUGE improvement from the service we get at Indian Restaurants in Madison.
The staff explained that there was a lunch buffet $20. We were there on the weekend, a little pricier than we’d like, however, it did include refreshments such as Mango Smoothies, Mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, along with fountain beverages. Their Mango Smoothie hit the spot, especially after eating the various curry offered from their buffet.
Their buffet is small in comparison to some of our older Madison buffets, but they make that size up with absolutely delicious, foodgasmic experiences with their choice selections they put in their buffet table. I chose to get the standard Bread and Butter items, such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, Goat Curry, and some fried catfish nuggets. Accompanying that was a few spoons of chutneys (Coconut, Mint, and Tomato) as well as some diced onions that I mixed with hot sauce to make my own type of onion chutney. Oh boy, that stuff was AMAZING! The Chicken Tikka Masala had great flavor, although my pieces of chicken seemed to be a little on the drier overcooked side, the sauce along with the chutneys helped overcome that issue.
The Saag Paneer had a great texture along with their cubed/diced pieces of cottage cheese. The Malai Kofta, great vegetarian option here for those that don’t eat meat. The sauce is divine with the pieces of Veggie Meatballs, it’s a match made in heaven. I personally loved adding some of my onion chutney with the sauce to scoop up with the freshest of freshly made Garlic Naan bread, so fluffy and soft and warm and buttery as well. I do appreciate the fact that the naan is fresh and not reused from other tables like in some of the Madison Indian restaurants.
The Goat Curry was amazing. Great flavors, not as spicy as I would like it, but I just added some of their hot sauce to compensate for that. The meat so so tender, especially the pieces that are attached to the bone. I cannot wait to go back to this hidden gem around the lake area. I talked to my family and relatives, and they are looking forward to trying this place out in the future. Unfortunately, the Indian Restaurants in Madison post pandemic have cashed in on take out carryout orders, that they make up lame excuses as to why they will not open up their buffets, such as “No one in Madison is interested in having an Indian buffet.” Good-Bye Indian Restaurants in Madison, hello Maharaja in Milwaukee. I will drive on hour to eat at your restaurant. You’re that good. You can have my business anytime. I apologize for the quality of the photos, I’ll be sure to take better pics next time. The food was so good, I forgot to take a lot of pics. Keep up the great work. Love, from Madison.
