Maharaja

I have been dining at Maharaja for years. The owners, Jonathan and Jennifer, are friendly and kind. The Host and usually main server, Inacio, is also friendly and very personable. All the years I have been going there the quality and flavor of the food is always consistent. I highly recommend Maharaja whether you want an intimate setting for a date or a fun atmosphere for lunch.

I have tried all Indian restaurants in C’ville and this is one of the underdog so I never visited here before but this is a hidden gem! As an Indian, I found their gravy more authentic and spicy, plus variation in taste among different curries. Their decor is a bit darker but otherwise, food is awesome!

I wanted to try this place solely based on both the good and bad reviews. And I have to say that my experience today enjoying the lunch buffet was a very good one. The food was super delicious as it was seasoned wonderfully and there was a nice variety. They had both a good variety of meat dishes as well as vegetable dishes to choose from. They also had a good variety of sauces, a nice lentil soup, fruit drinks and dessert that was included with the buffet. I was skeptical about the mango pudding at first and I really didn't taste the mango much in the first bite but after bite three the mango flavor was amazing. The rice pudding was equally delicious and not at all like your typical custard American rice pudding. It had a great infusion of creamy, spicy and nutty flavors. They home make both of those as well. The naan bread was brought fresh and hot to my table. I tried everything they had to offer on the buffet and ALL of it was great. The wait staff was kind and courteous and the restaurant was decorated nicely and is clean. I definitely left here feeling very full and very satisfied. For the price of the lunch buffet what I got was well worth it. They also have a buy 7 get your 8th buffet free card. All you have to do is ask for one. I found out about the card from a regular customer of many years. He said that the quality and taste of the foods here are always amazing. I'll will be coming back to eat again for sure!

Best Indian restaurant in town! The head server, Ignacio, is kind, gracious, and attentive. We are always treated like family whenever we go. The food is too notch, whether dining in or taking to go. And the lunch buffet? Best food and best deal in town. 5 stars is the highest google will let me give, but I’d surely give many more.
