Reviews for The Maharaja in Cambridge, MA
We ordered the chicken tikka masala, top menu from the lamb section, garlic nann, sweet lassi and diet coke. The sweet lassi... wasn't very sweet, which is like minus 0.3 stars as I was really craving lassi. I guess it can't be the same as the ones I hadin Mumbai. Besides the lassi, everything was very good, including the service and the atmosphere. I ordered spicy chicken tikkamasala, which wasn't spicy for me so I'd definitely get spicy ones again next time. The lamb was really good as well. The ricethat came with each dish was enough to make us quite full. The atmosphere and the service definitely deserves a 5 star! Highlyrecommend. Read more
The food did not taste very authentic and was not well cooked. It also lacked flavour. For appetizers we had the Hara Bhara... Kebab which was the only tasty item we had here and Galouti Kebab which was large pieces of meat with very little flavour. Formains we had Maharaja Dal Makhani which was not cooked enough. There were pieces of lentils in the dal that were almost raw. TheNargisi Malai Kofta was okay. The kheema Naan had the same meat from the Galouti Kebab. The service was not very quick andoverall a bad experience. Definitely not worth the cost. Read more
The ambience is good. The Indian flavors are not much infused into the food, most of them are bland and lot of space for... improving the dishes. Read more
One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to not just in Cambridge but anywhere. Everything, vegetarian and meat... dishes, was delicious. Mild versions were not spicy at all, while hot versions had just the right amount of spice in them. Thestaff was extremely kind and friendly, providing recommendations and taking into account small changes to the dishes that weordered. Great atmosphere and location, right next to Harvard Square. We ordered too much and took it with us to enjoy the nextday. I will soon be back! Read more
Came here as a big group for my friend’s birthday. Before the visit, I had a few takeouts from this place, and i wasn’t... particularly impressed with their tikka masala and the saag paneer. The chicken samosas were good, but the tikka masala was alittle too sweet. For the visit, I got the mango lassi cocktail and the maharaja biryani. The Maharaja biryani came out in atraditional steel bowl and in huge portions. The default spice level for the biryani seemed to be high, so the lassi was anecessary drink to accompany with it. The seasoning, however, was a bit lacking, and the meat portion of the bowl was very smallcompared to the rice quantity. Overall, a great place to enjoy an authentic Indian food experience, but if you have low spicetolerance, make sure the put the request beforehand. Read more
Absolutely the best Indian food in Boston. The flavor is authentic and delicious in every way. The prices are pretty good, the... atmosphere is great, and the staff are very friendly. Definitely good to go with friends or even by yourself for any hankeringfor Indian cuisine. 10/10 would recommend! Read more
Nice Indian place in Harvard sq area. The location is great. If you can get a table near the window, the view is great. We were... impressed by the courteous staff. The kababs we ordered were good. But we loved the mango mousse cake. Highly recommended. Read more
