Maharaja Indian Restaurant & Cafe

First time ordering delivery; second time ordering from them. Both times the food was excellent, service was excellent, and they made sure to provide a receipt as requested. UPDATE: Ordered from them again today, and it was wonderful! I ordered a dish that I didn't know required dairy, and I had asked them to not use butter or dairy products. They changed the dish to something else that did not require dairy AND that tasted better then what I had ordered in the first place! The delivery many was friendly and they provided a receipt. I love this restaurant.

The dinner deal is amazing value; the food comes fast, is hot, and tastes fresh. They subbed in a veggie dish that I didn't order without telling me, but it was so good I ate it anyway. I suspect the South Indian food is tastier than their Northern attempts.

This is the worst Indian food my boyfriend and I have had in Curry Hill. We waited over an hour for a 15-30 min delivery (from a place less than 10 blocks away), and by the time we got the food, most of it was stale. The rice was hard, the coconut chutney tasted like mold, the "mild" lentils were very spicy and tasteless, and the South Indian Uttapam smelled like bad seaweed and sushi, and tasted even worse. I love Indian food, and we have ordered from most of the restaurants in Curry Hill, if not dined in them, so needless to say, we were shocked by this delivery. We tried everything from our dinner specials and ended up keeping the naan and one of the two soups. Everything else went down the garbage chute in a horrible-smelling bag of unsanitary and overly spiced "food."

This restaurant is horrible, the wait of 30-45 minutes that was listed has now turned into close to 2 hours. No matter how good the food might eventually be if it ever arrives I will never order from here again.

DELICIOUS!! The food came fast, warm and there was plenty! The dishes were wrapped in double foil so they stayed warm for a long time! I LOVE Indian food and this was definitely one of the best experiences in a long time! GO FOR IT!!

I ordered Mysore Masala Dosa - it came without masala ( potato curry ) or the red paste. The Dosa itself was stale and cold. I ordered Samosa - came drenched in oil, probably a couple days old. And the Idli while soft was probably stale too - softer on the edges and a bit brown. Never again !

Ordered Mysore Masala Dosa and ended up getting Dosa with a red paste loaded with cardamom. The sambar was diluted punjabi dal and coconut chuntey was frozen!

lunch specials are priced so you are forced to give a 20% tip if you don't order anything else. The worst tasting Rogan Josh I've ever had; very sour. Saag paneer is also pretty bland. will not order again.

Made an error in the order even after discussing on the phone. Will never patronize again.

If you are looking for a cheap meal, this will do. Be careful if you are looking to order extra/more of a similar item, you may not get as much as you expect. I ordered the QUART of extra rice and got a tiny chinese take out box.
