    I ordered the rice pudding this evening with my to-go meal. I opened the container and there is mold growing on it. This is a huge red flag and health and safety issue. Please do not eat here as they are not properly handling their food.

    A good Indian food experience after a very long time in Omaha! I have had lunch buffet as well as dine-in! Sujana showed a really good hospitality to us! She is quite humble and cooperative! Food quality is great. It tastes fresh and balanced in spice. We had gobi manchurian in appetiser and malai kofta in main course. Pretty authentic! Buffet has nice varieties with pretty good desert. Please retain the quality and we look forward to having more with you guys! Highly recommend this place!

    Service was pretty quick considering how busy they were with curbside pick ups and grub hub orders.We were incredibly pleased with everything we ordered. Our vegetable biryani (not pictured) was excellent, our naan so soft flavorful, our chicken vindaloo warm and spicy, and our veggie korma (i think that’s what it was called!) creamy and comforting. It was a great mix. They also were considerate with what kind of spice level you can take— we like our vindaloo very spicy, and it came out perfect. This was our first time coming here, but I can bet anything you order out of their menu would be excellent. My favorite part was also that you can order condiments that would usually come with a thali (set menu) order: we had with our meal a side of lime pickle, raita, and mint chutney that made our mix of curries even better. Highly recommended.

    The food was awesome. Fried cauliflower and lamb curry. So good. Spicy and flavorful. We tried a few different breads and mushroom soup. It does not have great atmosphere, but it was quiet and relaxing. Lots of door dash take out orders while were eating.

    Prices are decent and slightly cheaper if you eat in the restaurant rather than online. Very authentic, everything was delicious. Did not try the buffet but was pleased with everything we ordered.

    My wife and I are from out of state visiting our adult daughter. We are all fans of Indian cuisine, and my daughter's Indian co-workers from her nearby office recommended the Maharaja where we stopped for dinner. We ordered the mulligatawny soup and samosas as appetizers. The soup was not as thick as I am more accustomed to, but it was delicious. The Samosas were hot, hearty, and flavorful. We each got a different entrée of which each of us sampled the other's. The owner asked each of us our preferred spice level and had our choices made to that specification, which we appreciated. All three of our dishes were wonderful. My wife, had lived in India and was familiar with regional cuisines and found that our three dishes all represented the regions she assumed and had a great conversation about them with the owner. I got a lamb dish, my wife got a chicken dish and my daughter's was goat. Having those choices was quite a treat. Next time we visit Omaha we will certainly be back. Hopefully, for the lunch buffet so we can sample more.

    Don't bother with this place. The goat roganjosh I ordered had as many bones as pieces of meat. I asked for spicy and got food that was barely hotter than a bottle of Frank's red hot. The service was poor. The restaurant wouldn't recognize the coupon I had. All in all, just a miserable experience. There are plenty of better Indian options in Omaha, and I'd recommend any one of them over this place. Seriously, if I can keep one person from going here and wasting their meal time, I'll have accomplished something worthwhile with my life. Not only the worst Indian food I've had, but some of the worst restaurant food I've ever paid for.

    There were so many bones in the goat korma, like enough to be a little pile in the palm of my hand. Some peices were about an inch long, but most were little shards that are totally dangerous, I had to pick through the whole thing before feeding my toddler. The meat was also super fatty and I ended up having a little pile of that too. There was like three tablespoons of meat in the whole thing once the fat and bones were gone. The gulab jamun was also really crumbly and grainy and just didn't have the texture it should have. The rasmalai was good. The carrot halwa also wasnt great. For an $80 meal for two, it was disappointing. We also called to ask about a food allergy and apparently the phone is in the kitchen because all we could hear was pots and pans. It took like five minutes and a lot of yelling to ask if one dish used coconut milk

    This is a secret gem that a friend recommended. I have been to India and their dishes are amazing. If you like Indian cuisine, please visit Maharaja.

    Veggie somosa and Kadai veggie were the items I chose and they are DElicious!!! Packed with flavor and steaming hot. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back. Thank you all so much <3

    Authentic south Indian Idly, Sambar, chutney, dosa, poori and potato curry are so tasty!!! If you need to try the above food please give it a try. You won’t regret. Am from South India!

    Got some kind of goat Curry and biryani. I ordered medium and I could tolerate it. Flavor was great. The garlic naan was very tasty. Excellent chai, 8 Oz for $4. Service was fair for as many staff as was working. We did have to wait to get our check. Refills we're a little slow, it started getting busy after we received our order. I would patronize again. Prices reflect the new normal for local Indian cuisine.

    The food is amazing (garlic naan, samosas, chicken korma, and chai were ALL top notch) and the service is speedy and reliable. Prices are super fair too! All around one of my favorite Indian places in Omaha.

  • 5/5 Matthew .. 1 year ago on Google
    Been here a few times, usually called in orders. Started trying the website the use for orders, first one went fine, this time did not realize that you could submit orders for times they would close, until I went to pick up the food. A little annoyed that I couldn't pick up at that time, but also my fault I didn't check the hours. No big deal, I cancelled my order (or thought I did) and went to get the Chinese food and sushi for my family and some Greek for me. About an hour and a half later they called to say my food was ready. I explained I thought I had cancelled the order, and didn't really want to come get it because I was settled in. The asked my if I wanted to cancel and I said yes. Called them back about a minute later and asked if they still had it. Said I was probably going to eat it later, it's pretty good food, so I would come get it. So I drove over there to pick it up and they said they were sorry for the mixup and the food was on them. I offered to pay but they were insisting. So great customer service. Also the food is good so I will be going back. I will try to make up the cost with some good tips

    Food quality was decent (in my limited experience with Indian food), portions were definitely healthy, and the prices were definitely fair. 6 of us in our party, had 2 shared appetizers, and 6 dinner plates, and the total only came to a little over $110, not including tip. We only drank water, though beer, wine, and soft drinks were available. The atmosphere was a little lacking, if you're searching for that exotic Indian vibe, more closely resembled a casual diner, not unpleasant, just boring, but clean, and seating was ample. For the price, definitely worth a try, but Indian food isn't really my cup of tea....if you're like me, try the fried rice, it was pretty good, and not loaded with Turmeric and/or curry.

    First time here with my Mom who goes frequently, and yes she was right, this place has amazing food! Definitely seems authentic. There's a big menu, so try a few visits to find what you like best!

  • 4/5 nicole f. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious. Very nice peaceful dining experience. Lovely flavors. We had the lamb Tikka masala...and chicken masala...mango Lassi..and garlic Naan. Served at the perfect temp..4 stars bc they went lean on the meat portions.. gave us alot of gravy.. and we had to share rice.. so not that great for the price point. But everyone is cutting back these days..we had a pleasant meal. Staff were nice.

  • 5/5 Scott F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for Indian food. Staff is attentive and friendly. They allow you to customize your spice level on every dish, using a scale of 1-5, and there are clear and consistent spice differences based upon your choice.

  • 5/5 Hasna A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. Amazing food. Spectacular customer service!! Thank you for being so welcoming and treating your customers with such politeness. I would give you 100 stars if I could but hopefully you could feel my immense satisfaction through here.

  • 5/5 The F. 2 years ago on Google
    We love this place. We normally order takeout but ate in the other day. The food is so good, so flavorful, always fresh. We are planning on ordering something new each time. It's right next to an Indian market which is wonderful. You could pick at random and be satisfied. If ordering takeout, call ahead and pick up it seems to work best for them.
