| - I have drove past this place a thousand times, and never realized it was even here. I didn't discover my deep and passionate love of Nepalese food until moving up to the Twin Cities, but over break my dearest mother suggested we go to the Maharaja on the east side.
"On the east side?" I scoffed, foolishly. "There is nothing but chain food and malls on the east side!" I know this statement fairly well, as we grew up 20 minutes east of the east side of Madison, making a trip downtown quite a hike.
But she assured me that it was in fact on the east side. And not on the east side like....Ella's Deli is on the east side. This thing is on the East Side as in East Towne Mall is on the East Side.
So, reluctantly, I went in. AND WAS GREETED WITH AWESOME. This buffet was amazing. They had a coconut soup which was great, all of the chicken dishes were great, they had a wide variety of veg dishes...I was so stunned and amazed. Even though I didn't partake, they served strawberry lassi...mmm! Finished off with some mango ice cream, I couldn't have been more impressed.
Whenever I visit home, I always drag my family along to Maharaja. Delicious, and a good price. All the staff are very friendly too!!
