Maharajah was all we needed. Lovable food, my friends got Biryani chicken and I got lamb mixed with yogurt and coconut, it was the best. Customer service is also great. The music is zen and the place is quite cozy. Will definitely be ordering their again.

What a wonderful experience I had at Maharaj in Rondebosch today. The starter I chose was the chilli bites and main was the lamb biryani. Flavours of both meals were outstanding and the meat was soft and tender. The chefs were amazing and really took there time to deliver an excellent dish. When you find yourself in the Rondebosch area, give them a try. Before I forget, the flavours range from mild, medium to hot. The butter chicken, wow, was outstanding as I ordered it as a takeaway including the lamb curry for my wife and daughter, and they enjoyed so much that they kept some for tomorrow. Portions are not to bad as well.
Why I chose to have lunch at Maharaj was the reviews I got from my friends and wanted to try it out myself and was I not disappointed.
It's not to pricey but as you can see, everything has gone up.
Hope you try them out soon before they move to the Riverside Mall.

Until next time.

They make some authentic Durban style biryani.

The best thing about Maharaja is their lamb. I don't know where they get their lamb from. But it's really good quality lamb. No other Indian restaurant in Cape Town, to my knowledge, uses this good quality lamb.

They have one of the best vegetarian Breyani’s! I usually take the mild option. It has the perfect amount of spice and is packed with flavour and aromas. Add a naan bread and you have the perfect meal!

By far the best curry spot in Cape Town. I’ve been ordering takeaways from Maharajah for the longest time ever. We now have weekly curry Mondays. We decided to actually go to Maharajah today and sit down. I can honestly say the experience today was even better than the takeaways. We started with a vegetarian platter for two which had samoosas, chili bites and deep fried paneer. It was incredible! I then had the paneer kadai and my boyfriend had the lamb off the bone. Both dishes were superb. The staff are also really friendly. Their prices are incredibly reasonable (veg platter, paneer kadai, lamb curry, garlic butter naan, basmati rice and a 1L water for just R371!). As I’m writing this, I’m still so full but excited for my next meal from this wonderful establishment.

If I had to write this review two years ago, I would've said that the Vegetarian food served is great, but went here recently and I received food which did not taste like Indian cuisine. We make Vegetarian dishes daily at home and our food taste better. I would recommend staff training.

Ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh. It was absolutely delicious. You've got to try it.
Thank you Chef!
