Maharaja Cuisine of India

Food over all was not as good as the first time we ordered. Also ordered Vegetarian Korma but got Malai Kofta instead. more

Food arrived right when they said it would and it was DELISH - it was even "spicy enough" for my dude, who never thinks anything is spicy enough. Our orders didn't come with rice, though, which I thought was really strange. more

Always delicious! We even ordered two nights in a row! more

We always have a great experience ordering delivery from Maharaja! They accidentally delivered the wrong order once and promptly delivered the corrected order and apologized profusely. The food is amazing! Try the lamb korma! Friendliest drivers and an all around great asset to West Seattle. We're rarely regulars anywhere as my husband and I have different tastes but we equally love this place and proudly call ourselves regulars! Thank you Maharaja for the great restaurant you run and for delivering! more

the Top 5 reasons that I LOVE the Maharaja Cuisine of India: 5. The Lunch Buffet is $9. Although it isn't as good as the actual dinners, I can come for lunch, work on the free WiFi and chat with my favorite bartenders all at once! What a great place to come for a work lunch! 4. The cast of regulars. The Maha is like a uber-dysfunctional version of Cheers. The look of the bar may have changed, but the patrons have not. You never know what to expect as the night progresses. 3. The happy hour. From 4-7 ad 10-1, there are drink and menu specials. The happy hour menu is a spectacular deal. 2. The stiff drinks. Enough said. 1. The bartenders, Bogie and Courtney. I have never seen bartenders take such pride in their work. If the Maha and it's bartenders had a mission statement, it would probably be, 'The Maha Lounge is a drinking establishment with the goal to create a comfortable atmosphere in which patrons can happily take part in extensive drinking, dancing, singing, and bullsh*tting."" P.S. Bogie's drink concoctions are tasty -so just ask him to surprise you! For the full review, visit taraeatsseattle.blogspot more

Everytime I go to this place, the service is incredible. I turn around and the server is there asking if I need anything & making jokes with me. I go get another plate at the buffet and when I come back, my old plate is always gone. Pros: service, nice bar, great buffet Cons: bathrooms more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. It was terrible! A large group of us came and sat in the bar area. Now I have to set the scene here, the place was pretty much dead. It's sports bar-ish, but the bartender wasn't busy at all. He did come up and ask us for our drinks. Gets us our drinks, but rather than even attempting to hand them out, just dumps them on the far end of the table and walks away. More people joined our group, and we're talking for about 15 minutes or so. The whole time the bartender looked like he was pretending to be busy by writing in his notepad. Eventually, enough of the group gets there and we decide to start ordering. What a fiasco. Forever to take the orders, then the orders are messed up, rather than setting the dishes on the table in front of us, they hand us the steaming hot plates or just set them on the side of the table. It took like 15 minutes for the bartender to make a Mai Thai. No smiles, no caring, nothing. It's like we weren't welcome. Now I don't care too much about service, IF the food is impeccable. Blech, whoever wrote ""best Indian food I've ever eaten"", must've been eating frozen Masala dinners from Safeway or something. I got the vegetable korma, and I could tell that it was literally tomato soup with frozen vegetable mix and a few spices thrown in. The saag was okay, but slightly over-salted, nothing to write home about. I've made better homemade Indian food in my kitchen, and I'm a novice. I've had better dinner delivery, and that's when the food is cold by the time it got to me. by the end, the bartender perked up, but a few of us had a sneaking suspicion that it was because it was time to give a tip. Let's just say he probably didn't get as much as he expected. Pros: plenty of space Cons: low quality food, terrible service. more

Average indian food, prices just went up because of the remodel in the bar which still isn't that nice, bar and restaurant are very noisy, we were in the restaurant and couldn't help but peak inside the bar to see who was being so loud yelling through the walls. the service was the worst part of it especially if you choose to eat in the lounge, it took forever. If you're not specifically looking for indian food, but rather just something nice at the junction don't bother with this place, go to Jak's next door or Matador two doors down for a better, cleaner atmosphere and dining. Pros: decent drink for the price Cons: poor service, uncleanliness, noisy more

I eat out at least twice a day at a variety of places, and I have experienced Indian food at a lot of places. Maharaja is by far the best Indian food I've had and the service was awesome. I always leave there very satisfied and would recommend this place to anyone. Pros: Great service, awesome food, nice ambiance, and great value Cons: I always eat too much more

What stood out besides the food, was the service. Attentive, polite & welcoming. Thefood was great, the portions were huge. I left stuffed & had a great experience. Would recommend to everyone. more

I ordered Dal Mahakani and it was surprisingly greasy. I've had this dish at other restaurants and Maharaja's was by far the greasiest. Not sure if it had been sitting for a while, but it tasted like it. I was surprised that rice wasn't served along with it, and rice wasn't offered at any time. My partner said his Lamb Biriyani was ""flat"". My partner tried to get the waitstaff's attention two different times during our visit and the waiters were too busy. The restaurant was busy but not full. All in all we were disappointed with the quality of food, price, and service. We won't be returning. If you want good food and service for the same price, go to Taste of India in the U District. Pros: Junction location, near everything Cons: Mediocre food, inattentive staff more

All the sauces are superb, but if you are a korma fan, this place is SNAP! Excellent flavor combined with just the right amount of texture make their korma the best I have ever eaten. Also, all their naans are wonderful, clearly baked on the spot in their tandoori oven (which is less than three years old and was specially built for them in India--I asked). Pros: value, taste, portion size, hours, Cons: short on atmosphere more

The staff is very friendly and polite. Fast service and they always check how everything is. The food is great. Resonable prices. I love the newly remodeled sports bar / lounge area. It was completely remodeled in late November 2008. 6 brand new 42"" - 50"" Vizio LCD tvs on every wall. There are comfortable booths and chairs / tables. Awesome for the sports fans to just come and relax, watch some sports. Its very clean in every part of the restaurant. Parking can be tricky. There is a free parking lot just behind the store but its sometimes full. more

I've been in this joint a few times and the food is great but be warned..... the lounge is NASTY! The seats are torn upholstered with huge holes and foam coming out. most of West Seattle's homely women tend to flock to this place and will not hesitate to jump up on a table and dance! Pros: Great food Cons: Horrible lounge more

I'd love to say this place is inexpensive, but my friends and I always order way too much food and end up with a hefty bill. Don't worry, it's worth it, and there are always leftovers for the next day. Check this out: Pros: FLAVORFUL, EASY PARKING BEHIND THE BUILDING Cons: NOT OPEN 24 HOURS! :D more

Food is consistently delicious. But delivery time seems to get longer and longer. Am about to cancel an order that's taken almost 90 minutes. more
