Excellent food, and friendly service! What else can you ask for from a restaurant? The management and our servers were really cool and nice to talk with. The menu is comprehensive and has a lot of vegetarian items, which I appreciate. The nan is excellent; I like the plain variety, but the garlic option is also top-level. The paneer dish that I got was just what I wanted. They ask you for a spice number, too, so you're sure to get food that is at your preferential heat level. Looking forward to another visit to Maharaja the next time I'm in Kentucky! read more

What a lovely restaurant. The owners and workers were so friendly and attentive. It was early in the day but another customer came in and sat down. It was obvious he was a regular. They called him by name and inquired about his wife. You know the food is good when they have regulars they know so well. The menu is expansive and everything we had was absolutely delicious. I had chicken pollock paneer. It was a warm, spicy, creamy bowl of deliciousness that was paired with basmati rice. We also ordered both the garlic and onion naan which is a must try. You won't regret it. This is my new go to for Indian. Oh, I noted that they have gulab Jamin which I will be trying at my next visit read more

My hg and I love this place! We look forward to getting our weekly takeout so we can eat while watching a movie at home, but we've also eaten inside and the service remains consistent! This is hands down the best Indian cuisine in the Tri-State area. I love it so much that i'm downloading yelp after 5 years just to rave about this place. Food 10/10, Service 10/10, Consistency 10/10, Friendliness 10/10, Atmosphere 10/10. We really love this place and try to put as many people on. I usually get Chicken Makhani, Saag Panner, and Garlic Naan. My mouth is watering just thinking about this place. Yum Yum Yum! read more

Their naan bread was good and big compared to other places. Chicken tikka masala was good, but seemed more tart than Guru India. They had a waffle fry version of this that was not bad, but was ok to try once. It was not crowded and we watched Indian music videos that were playing.. I'll try it again sometime read more

I've eaten at many of the Indian restaurants in Cincinnati, and even several in New York City (where we all know has incredible ethnic cuisines), and I think Maharaja has the best Indian food I've ever had. It's not just me--my husband agreed! We got the special chicken tikka masala (includes peppers and onions, for those who don't know--highly recommend!) and garlic naan. The naan was HUGE and had tons of garlic on it. It was also thin, which I prefer. The tikka masala was INCREDIBLE. Many restaurants add a ton of cream, which can dampen the flavor of the sauce. This tikka masala was a noticeably darker color than many other local restaurants'. However, it tasted super creamy while also packing a huge punch of flavor. It was truly the perfect balance. I was in heaven eating this meal. I can't recommend Maharaja enough. It's a tiny bit pricier than some other nearby options, but it's 10000% worth it. This will absolutely be our go-to Indian restaurant from now on! *This review was for take-out Update: we tried it again, and it was just as good, if not better than the first time! We tried the butter chicken, which was amazing. We also used a coupon that we received through one of those mailers! The staff is super kind :) read more

The staff were immediately friendly when we came in and service was excellent. The restaurant was clean. The food was so good. Generous portions. My husband had lamb and shrimp curry with level 1 spice. I had chicken Shahi Korma with level 4. Our daughter had Chicken Vindaloo with level 3. They were all excellent. I like mine pretty spicy and I think I could have gone with a 5. We had plain naan, garlic naan and paneer naan and they were all excellent. We will def be back. read more

My wife and I had lunch here yesterday.The food lives up to the five star rating! My wife opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala and I chose the Shrimp Curry. We added Garlic Naan. Both dishes were perfectly prepared and ample amounts for lunch portions. The seasoning was right on point. My 3 had my cheeks red and allowed the flavor to come through. The Naan was the largest portion I have ever seen and the garlic was unmistakable on the surface of the bread. We will enjoy all the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. It is hard to miss the fact that the building used to be a Gold Star Chili joint but with the painting and redecorating that the owners have done, especially the tablecloths and the cloth napkins, this quickly fades. Our server, Kawaljit, was courteous and attentive though we could not figure out why he did not clear the tables of the guests that had left the restaurant. The cost was in line with other Indian restaurants in our area. Parking was ample and the location of the restaurant is easy access from the highway. We are likely to return in the future. read more
