This is one of my favorite things to have entered our neighborhood recently. My family and I come here fairly regularly and it’s always great. I really like the vegetarian korma, but everything I’ve had has been great. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and designer touch. The buffet was a great option to try a lot of different tasty entrees and desserts.
This is my favorite Indian cuisine spot in all of Albuquerque. Starting with just walking in and feeling all the open space that the restaurant is built on, gives you the feeling your dining at a phenomenal restaurant that gets a lot of business, and because you know that the space is required to house all the people that want to eat here. From the unique recipe of the butter chicken, to their other vegetable dishes, this place hits the spot. I don’t even like lamb but dang, did this place turn around what I thought lamb tasted like. Also, please try the strawberry lassi with your meal, if not the mango one, you won’t be disappointed.
Came in tonight to try out. The food was amazing. I was so pleasantly impressed and surprised they were able to accommodate my tomato allergy. They even have spice from a scale 1 to 10 so those who are more adventurous can challenge themselves. I got the lamb Korma and this dish was yum. I loved the crunch of the nuts against the cream and sweet of the golden raisins. We will definitely be back.
Visited this restaurant twice and each time the service was outstanding. Staff are very friendly and attentive to needs of visitors. Food is fantastic, the buffet is well kept and clean and stocked. I will definitely come back to visit because I was treated like part of of their family. Thank you Maharaja Indian Cuisine.
I love this place. I've been waiting for a great Indian restaurant like this. The food is delicious and they have a wide variety of food ranging from many different meats to vegetarian dishes. The wait staff is very nice and the atmosphere is very spacious and super clean. We came a second time and had the buffet for dinner and it was great. We couldn't decide what to order so we got to try many of the Indian dishes. The buffet is a nice option of you can't decide on one dish.
Forgive my pictures because I got take out but this place was out of this world! This is my first time trying Indian food and I am absolutely impressed. Everything is amazing! So exotic and bursting with flavor! Pictured is the Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken with Rice, Garlic Naan and Paneer Pakore. Everything was delicious but the Butter Chicken blew my mind. To top it off the owners were extremely kind and happily fullfilled our requests with no hesitation. The atmosphere was also gorgeous!!! Definitely going back to try the Lunch Buffet with my sister!
We stopped to have a late lunch before the show at Pope Joy hall on a Sunday afternoon. They have a lovely lunch buffet with just the right amount of offerings. Not super spicy, vary tasty. Our waiter Peter was friendly and very welcoming. When we return I will be sure and get the names of all the great dishes that I enjoyed. For now here are some photos of their great food.
The restaurant was very clean and organized. The moment we walked in, the host greeted us and let us know where everything was regarding the buffet and also alerted us that the buffet closed at 3. We came right at 230 pm at the time. The buffet was clear with signs and the food was flavorful. Each food we got from the buffet was good! Plenty of options for vegetarians and meat lovers. Halal as well! Worth the price. They also offer a dinner buffet on the weekend! As for dessert, the host recommends homemade vanilla ice cream with cardamon. Again, creamy and flavorful. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked! Plenty of parking. From the outside, it looks very private but once you go inside, the interior is welcoming, light, and airy. Great for a date or family time!
