   Always an amazing dinner. The Lamb Rogan Josh is my favorite, and the Goat Curry is top tier as well.

   A bit expensive compared to its competition, and one drink came to the table incorrect. The service seemed to be avoiding us a bit but maybe they were just giving us space. We both asked for medium spice and it was barely mild. Ambiance was great, the food was all tasty.

   The service and ambiance was excellent. The only problem was I ordered no heat and my dining companion ordered mild. My meal ended up being somewhat hot, and my companion’s meal had no heat. In spite of the mix up the food was tasty and wonderfully prepared. I did not tell the waitress about the error. I am certain it would have been rectified immediately if I had. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    This is the first review I have ever given on OpenTable after being a part of the network for many many years. This restaurant has the best Indian food in Boston. I can’t recommend it enough. An incredible menu with a vast array of selections, very traditional flavors, and the service was exceptional. It is one of our favorite places to go in Boston. Ask to sit by the window so you can see the square. Exceptional service exceptional food can’t wait to return!

    We enjoyed our window table (views, private, quiet) and the server was nice. The food, however, was very bland. The Tikka Masala sauce had excessive cream. The Seekuh Kababs lacked seasoning. Dal that came with the Tandoori was overcooked and bland. Pricey for what you get. Will not return.

    the food has been much better in the past. Recently the Malai Kofta dish did not taste as it has in the past and was disappointing. On the other hand the Vindaloo was very flavorful and spicy.

    Lovely place, great for large groups. We had great service and had a lovely meal for five people with appetizers, several dishes, and a bottle of wine and two mango lassis for a very reasonable price. We are a pescatarian group so had the tandoori salmon which we thought was great. There is a nice wide selection of vegetarian appetizers and dishes. Its a nice room with a good view of the surrounding neighborhood and streets, lively and pleasant.

    The Maharaja is just a really wonderful spot. The staff is always so friendly and attentive and the food is always perfect (their veggie pakora are perfection). The large windows looking over the park and shops and fall time wanderers make it a really special experience. Thanks for a great meal, as always!

    Overall a disappointing experience. The food is no good. It doesn’t feel like it’s cooked by an Indian chef. The spices are all wrong for the dishes. Also too much turmeric in everything. We had ordered the tandoori wings, padpdi chaat, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, Chicken Dhaba along with paratha, naan and roti. None of the dishes felt like they were cooked by someone who knows Indian spices. Tough to explain, but all the dishes tasted like they were a mish-mash of weird spices mixed together. Disappointing. The ambiance and decor at Maharaja are good, but that’s about all that’s good.

    First time at the restaurant. Everything was great. It was very nice to have the DF, diary free, items clearly marked. We wish most restaurants would do this. My wife and daughter have dairy allergies and this made ordering easy. All the food was great. I am always on a search for Dal Malkini outside of India . In India the ITC version is amazing. The Dal here was great

    I have been Maharaja multiple times and chose it on this occasion to enter guests on their first-ever night in Cambridge/Boston. It did not disappoint. The atmosphere is classy and refined and noise level is manageable. The service was quick and attentive and the food was delicious. Portions were generous and I ate leftovers for days afterward. One of the better Indian places in the Boston metro!

    From the beginning we were treated with hospitality and immediately brought food paired with a delicious assortment of sauces. The waiter was polite and attended to us with a smile and brought the food and drinks promptly after we had ordered. The food was exquisite and the portions suitable. The food leaves one feeling fulfilled and content. For a great price immerse yourself in the flavors of India, I recommend the Lamb Saag paired with the garlic naan. I will be returning as soon as possible.

    This is our favorite Indian restaurant. We have been many times but I ordered the Baingain bharta on this trip and it was absolutely incredible. Honestly the best smoky and complex eggplant curry I've ever had - so delicious. The food is consistently excellent, though. The atmosphere and service are always impeccable. Would highly recommend this restaurant, no matter who you are, for any occasion - formal or casual. You will love it.

    Arrived around 1:30 for lunch on Memorial day. The place was full. We waited over an hour for our main course to come out. A party near us waited so long they ended up leaving without getting their lunch. The waitstaff didn't check in on us to explain the dely. Water glasses remained unfilled despite repeated requests for water. We final got up and got our own. In all, the food was good but the experience as a whole was not good.
