How odd is it that this restaurant isn't listed on Yelp, I thought this place has been around for a couple of years. Oh well, first to review *raising roof*!!!
Drive up north on McLeod Trail and when you end up in the jean-pocket of downtown, Maharajah will catch the corner of your eye. We ate here recently on a Friday night.
We had the following items:
-Vegetable Pakoras
-Plain & Garlic Naan
-Baingan Bharta
-Butter Chicken
- two other dishes that escaped my memory but were just as delicious
-I had a mango lassi with spices & chai tea.
Great meal that satisfied four hungry machines trudging through the bitter winter. Everything tasted great, the pakoras make great starters and I wonder why pubs don't serve deep fried spiced veggies. The Baingan Bharta was surprisingly good and stood out as dish that can satisfied even those with meat palates. I managed to grab a few pieces of chicken from the butter chicken and lamb and beef from the two mystery curry dishes but with East Indian food, for me it's all about the complex sauce, adequately tasty enough to flavour the Naan and steamed rice.
Dessert...awwww shit son...I never really enjoyed east Indian desserts and always finished my meals with a conversational cup of chai. But the cheese RASGULLAS dumpling desserts were intense! I can't rival it to anything I've eaten in this city, the rasgullas were maybe even better than the plum dumplings I've eaten @ the Austrian club.
Best part about the whole meal was that the prices were very very reasonable. But your tab become expensive if you get carried away when you order second helpings, which was what we did for drinks, bread and dessert.
