Maharajah Restaurant & Party Hall

Yes, this is the same Maharajah that used to be located on Bissonnet. It is now conveniently located just down the street from Bollywood 6 Cinema on Hwy 6, making it the perfect pre-movie dinner spot! They're known for their excellent lunch buffets, but Ghopaul and I usually order the Maharajah Dinner for Two. It's more like dinner for FOUR! And at $29.95, it is probably the best Indian food bargain in town!

Maharajah Dinner for Two:
-Plate of chicken pokharas: These crispy strips of white meat chicken are coated with a savory, golden batter and fried to a crisp.
-Sizzling plate of chicken tandoori: The chicken is tender and full of flavor!
-A plate of yummy, fresh naan bread
-Your choice of goat or lamb curry, Ghopaul's favorite!
-Saag Paneer, which is creamy but not heavy, and has just the right balance of spices.
-Chicken Maharajah, which has a creamy, spicy tomato sauce-YUM!
-A generous plate of Pulao. Very fragrant and yummy!
-And even Gulab Jamun-the perfect ending to a fantastic meal!

If this restaurant were a Bollywood movie, it would be:

Monsoon Wedding

Like this movie, The Maharajah Restaurant is all about family, food, and coming together in celebration. The party hall adjacent to the regular restaurant provides an affordable and comfortable space for a bash. Though the setting is not as posh or elaborate as in the movie, one could easily imagine Alice and Dubey (a touching, side love story plot in the movie between the house keeper and the wedding planner) throwing a post-wedding celebration here! What it lacks in glamour and glitz, it more than makes up for with sincerity, relaxed atmosphere, and good food.

Why else would Ghopaul and Rani choose The Maharajah to host their post-matrimony celebration?
