Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had - i had dinner here three days in a row. Splendid view if you can reserve a table at the patio. I can see why people complain about the wait and slow services but all the staff here are amazing people with great personality. Food here is very reasonably priced.

We visited this restaurant today and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was very attentive throughout our visit. A special mention to Akbar, who was serving our table—he was excellent! He took the time to explain the dishes to us and made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the service!

A group of us from Shropshire on Fri 8th November, had to wait about 10 minutes to get a table as it was busy (which we didn't mind as didn't book). Found the staff very friendly and funny, food was absolutely bang on couldn't complain about any of it. Would highly recommend it to anyone, and if down again will definitely stop there again

We enjoyed the set menu for two. The food was good and reasonably priced. The service was good. We had a sea view from our table.

Our party of 9 enjoyed our dinner at The Maharajah. I'm not sure why negative people are saying it's not authentic...how much more authentic do you want it? It was perfect, fresh, and served fairly fast as it was crowed. I suggest booking a table. The prices were fair, and portions were plentiful. It was super clean, and the wait staff were phenomenal. The waiter that took our mains was a joker...gave us good laughs. The view is great! If you're in a party paying separately, it's all on one bill, which isn't a problem and cuts down on confusion. The only complaint from the 9 of us was that it was very hot in there. It felt like the heat was on. We did joke that we were getting the full Indian experience. But as someone who gets heat sick, I had to keep stepping outside for fresh air. We visited 27/8/2024. We plan on making this our go to Indian Restaurant as we live 15 minutes away. And we have family dining out a few times a year. I hope it's not always hot in there, but the food was worth it.

A bit confusing at the entrance, it looks more like a car park than a restaurant. There was a wait for the table, but we were told how long (and this was pretty accurate) plus they had plenty of seats to wait and a bar if you want a drink. Service was generally good, although it took a couple of asks to get the bill. The location is brilliant and we were lucky enough to get a table by the window with views out to sea. The food was top notch.
