This place is the best. They have an all you can eat buffet for R 90 person. The food is amazing. This is the best North Indian Restaurant I have ever been too. Great service and huge variety from the menu at very good prices.

The rice had to be re boiled and the biryani wasnt its best i asked for medium but it was rather hot. The salads were like a few days old. I have been eating there for a long time and this is my first experience like this. Hope they improve because its hard to get nice Indian food anywhere well off course besides your own.

Service was a bit slow. We had to ask 3 times for them to close the smokers area door and ended up doing it ourself. The food was good. Not the best indian food I ever had but still really good.

The currys was excellent. Lots of nice spice flavours. One of the best curry place in Johannesburg

Very important to compare an apple with an apple. Had Lamb Korma from the Indian kitchen and it was horrendous. I was nausea the whole night and didnt eat the whole today from that. The Maharaja is highly recommended and actually we there tonight to quench that crave for lamb Korma.With hundreds of reviews and they still maintain nearly 4.5 star rating says much more than a few reviews in the name of a 5 star rating from family members of the institution.

Great food and friend owner and staff. Buffet on Friday and saturday. With R85 per person for the buffet, it is really affordable and the food is well prepared and flavorful without being over spicy. They also offer bunny chows which is a local south African dish but cater to the local demand which i think is great because they show flexibility. The parking is a bit small but it is really worth the trip. The menu consists of chicken, lamb, mutton and veg so if you expect beef or pork, you will be disappointed. They do serve alcohol but i am not sure of ther variety.

Very good! Service is fantastic! Curries are great! Super tasty! And always fresh! Good to sit down and just relax for the evening on a date or even with family for dinner! Buffet is well priced and has a large verity to choose from the menu is affordable for sure not expensive and yes they make the curry how you want it... You want it mild it will be just that... If you want it hot they make it hot... None of this mixture cant get it right.

Ordered the mutton breyani during the lockdown...I would advise going for the mild rather than the hot. Very tasty, plenty of meat and it was a huge portion...hot and well packaged for a takeaway meal. Staff was on point and helpful. Would definitely visit again and its highly recommended for anyone looking for great indian food coupled with great service. Well done guys keep up the good work.

Great indian restaurant with delicous food. I ordered a mutton breyani and got more than I bargained for. As an Indian person Im always sceptical of Indian restaurants but this place is well worth the price and drive. Competitive pricing, fresh food, great service and good portions. I have yet to try their buffet special but its on my list of things to do when Im in the area again.
