Reviews for Maharaja in Milwaukee, WI

What a FANTASTIC Authentic Indian Food!! After Visiting Temple, I took my family to Maharaja Restaurant as I had heard much... about that . Waitress explained the menu Very nicely. We ordered some drinks and we preferred to go for the buffet. I likedcrispy Punjabi style pakoras and manchurian. Noodles I didn't like. They could have been made much better. Potatoes and peasvegetable was very delicious. Even I liked Shahi Paneer preparation. Others in my family liked non vegetarian food too like Lambcurry, chicken tikka masala, Fish Fry but being vegetarian I was happy with very yummy garlic naan . All dishes were fresh andit tasted like homemade food. My son loved the Mysore Masala dosa with the sambar. They serve Gol Guppas in the buffet but needimprovement. The drinks (certain type) were included in the buffet Dessert like gulab jamun and kheer was perfect and theyalso served Mango ice cream on demand. I tasted everything but preferred Hot Gulab jamuns. Service was super good. Friendly andgenerous reception . Everything neat and clean. Furniture setting was good and surprisingly no table was vacant. Sarah was ourserver and she made sure everything was taken care of. Best thing, we all got private parking. Read more

We're from Madison, WI. The Indian Restaurants here no longer serve buffets, so we decided to try our luck in Milwaukee. Glad we... did. We were greeted very graciously by our host/mgr as well as their super friendly waitstaff. Already a HUGE improvementfrom the service we get at Indian Restaurants in Madison. The staff explained that there was a lunch buffet $20. We were thereon the weekend, a little pricier than we'd like, however, it did include refreshments such as Mango Smoothies, Mimosas, BloodyMary's, along with fountain beverages. Their Mango Smoothie hit the spot, especially after eating the various curry offeredfrom their buffet. Their buffet is small in comparison to some of our older Madison buffets, but they make that size up withabsolutely delicious, foodgasmic experiences with their choice selections they put in their buffet table. I chose to get thestandard Bread and Butter items, such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, Goat Curry, and some fried catfishnuggets. Accompanying that was a few spoons of chutneys (Coconut, Mint, and Tomato) as well as some diced onions that I mixedwith hot sauce to make my own type of onion chutney. Oh boy, that stuff was AMAZING! The Chicken Tikka Masala had great flavor,although my pieces of chicken seemed to be a little on the drier overcooked side, the sauce along with the chutneys helpedovercome that issue. The Saag Paneer had a great texture along with their cubed/diced pieces of cottage cheese. The MalaiKofta, great vegetarian option here for those that don't eat meat. The sauce is divine with the pieces of Veggie Meatballs,it's a match made in heaven. I personally loved adding some of my onion chutney with the sauce to scoop up with the freshest offreshly made Garlic Naan bread, so fluffy and soft and warm and buttery as well. I do appreciate the fact that the naan isfresh and not reused from other tables like in some of the Madison Indian restaurants. The Goat Curry was amaz Read more

I genuinely enjoyed this place so much I forgot to take pictures except for when we first sat down. Some of the best Indian food... in the city for sure. Sanjiv, our server was incredibly accommodating and fun to interact with. He did really well helping outour party of 8. Don’t be afraid to ask your server about the menu items if you’re new to Indian food as well! Read more

I walked into a restaurant that had the atmosphere perfect for a date night. Greeted immediately with broad genuinely smiling... faces. Our service was absolutely wonderful there wasn't any Gap in service at all. The food came out in a timely fashionnothing was missing. I had the tandoori lamb and the curry lamb medium spicy with garlic naan and cheese naan and anothercurried lamb spicy. The food was absolutely amazing hot well seasoned tender lamb good portions and the perfect amount of foodfor two. I was made a drink that wasn't on the menu but it was made perfectly but just in case our table checked on to make surethe drink was too my liking asking if I needed anything to balance to drink out which I did not because it was absolutelyperfect. The service alone make me return to a place like this. The bathrooms were clean well stocked and tidy a bit on thesmaller side but it does its job as far as bathrooms go. The restaurant was nice they had a full bar with bar seating and itappears that they offer to go as well. Would absolutely return 10 out of 10. Highly recommended. Read more

This is one of my daughters favorite places. She has taken me there twice and now it's one of my favorite places too. The staff... is so nice here you feel at home right away. They start you out with papadum which is so good. Every dish we have tried has beengreat. They will make the spice level you are comfortable with. And finally, their naan is amazing. The garlic is the classic.The others are great as well. And yes they have beer. Read more

Perfect buffet, Indian sauce is always so attractive. Chicken is delicious, and some goat meat lacks moisture.

Worst cuisine ever I would have given it a score of 0. I've been to several Indian restaurants in the US, but this is the first... one where nothing appealed to me. The owner's actions are pitiful. When you go to get food, the buffet tray is always empty, andthe buffet tables rarely have food. I won't suggest anyone visit this location. The owner knowingly delayed the food supply.Please stay away from here. Read more

We thoroughly enjoyed their Sunday sampler plate: appetizer, four main courses, and dessert for $15. The service was attentive.... Parking is on the street, but on Sunday for lunch there was plenty of free parking close by. Read more
