rev:text	About 15 years ago I tried an Indian buffet restaurant (in a different state and not related to this restaurant). I disliked the food so much that it's taken me that long to even try Indian food again - and boy am I glad I was able to try again here at Maharaja's Restaurant!!! We were looking for "something different" to eat on a late Sunday night - they are open daily until 10pm. We were a party of four consisting of two middle aged adults with our "kids" age 27 and 18. If you're in the mood for something quicker - they also offer a lunch buffet daily. The atmosphere was beautiful - chandeliers... white tableclothes... candles on the tabletops. Authentic yet subtle Indian music played softly in the background. The waiter put the napkins into our laps - very classy. Before we went I had looked over the online menu (great descriptions and pictures) so I already had some idea of what I wanted - which made it easier than guessing in person. Our waiter was very helpful in advising my 18 year old daughter on what dish she might enjoy. My son is a vegetarian and was impressed by the selection - the rest of us are not vegetarians and we were also impressed by the selection! We would call this food "cruise quality" (back when that really meant something that is). It was awesome and out of this world great. We all took turns sampling each other's meals... which were served in individual serving bowls. The dishes we ate were: Beverages: Mango shakes (very unusual and refreshing - especially after a spicy bite of something) and Masala tea (sweet hot tea drink very similar to Chai). Fresh glasses of ice water were automatically given and refreshed frequently. Appetizers: (complimentary) Daal Poori (fried lentil bread) - think of this kind of like tortilla chips in a Mexican restaurant - crispy but with a different (but very tasty) flavor. This was served with three different types of dipping sauces. Pickles - these are not any ordinary 'pickles.' This was very salty and unusually flavored with spices like corriander and chili powder . We were told some of the ingredients included vegetables... green mango chunks... and some type of Indian fruit. The piece I ate reminded me somewhat of olives only saltier and stranger. Unfortunately most of us did not appreciate this dish - but the good news is it only cost .95 to try it. (very salty and somewhat spicy) Cheese Pakora - flat cheese that has been breaded and fried - tasty though reminiscent of tofu and/or fried chicken. (not spicy) Samosas - spicy turnovers stuffed with potatoes and green peas - mixed reviews - the men in our party enjoyed them more than the women did. (yes they were a bit spicy) Soups: S.O. had the Mulligatawny soup - it's made with lentils and vegetables and has an unusual spicy flavor and topped with a bit of cilantro. Very good with the lemon squeezed into it. I felt it was somewhat reminiscent of a granular pea soup. It had a little kick to it. (somewhat spicy) The three others of us had Coconut soup - sweet and creamy warm soup with shredded coconut and pistachios. Daughter felt it "reminded her of Christmas." I think perhaps it reminded her of eggnog in a way - similar comfort level but different taste. (sweet not spicy) For breads we tried plain Paratha (similar to a thick wheat tortilla) and the garlic Nan - it was extra super garlicky and tasty. (neither spicy) Our meals were served with a large bowl of long grained rice for us all to share. We were given a choice of spice levels from mild to hot. 1) Beef Jalfrazie (beef curry with various vegetables); 2) Chicken Tiki Madras (tomato/curry base with coconut - from Southern India) (3) Vegetable curry (stir fried medley with curry sauce) and I indulged myself in a decadent special of the day 4) Tandoori Lobster (spiced lobster tail cooked in a high heat pressure type cooker called a Tandoor oven). We all tried each other's dishes and each was enjoyed by all. My (mostly) vegetarian son even snuck in a bite of lobster! :) (none of the entrees seemed too spicy for us) Even though we were stuffed and had leftovers - we knew we "had to" have desert. Daughter opted for the Gulab Jamun (also called 'waffle balls') - sweet fried dough balls covered in a rosewater syrup. Was reminiscent of perhaps pancakes with syup or cobbler - but of course with a different flavor. We were very impressed with the kulfi - a sweet custard-like ice cream made with pistachios and almonds. The staff was very friendly and kind - answered all of our questions with patience and care... helping us throughout the evening to get the best meal possible. To top the evening off - the waiter brought us all hot damp washclothes for our hands. What exemplary service and attention. Dinner for the four of us came to a bit over $100 plus a tip - which seems very reasonable for the amount of food we ate - plus leftovers. Fit for royalty! I highly recommend Majaraja restaurant anytime. :)
