Nestled in the historic St. Lawrence neighbourhood, Urban Maharajas presents itself with an…read moreunmistakable air of grandeur -- and largely delivers on the promise. The interior is nothing short of opulent: rich earthy tones, elegant dark green accents, and warm ambient lighting conspire to create a dining room that feels both regal and inviting, a space where one might genuinely dine as royalty. The kitchen demonstrates real command of Indian cuisine. Flavours arrive bold, layered, and unapologetically intense -- each dish speaking with the confidence of a well-rehearsed tradition. The breads, in particular, deserve special mention: naan emerges from the tandoor piping hot, beautifully blistered with charred grill marks, and with a texture that is at once pillowy and satisfyingly crisp. One could make a meal of the bread alone and leave content. Where the experience falters slightly is in pacing. A midweek lunch -- the dining room far from full -- still saw dishes arrive at a leisurely tempo more suited to a languid evening affair than a working professional's lunch hour. For a restaurant of this calibre, tightening the rhythm of service during daytime covers would elevate the experience considerably. That said, the wait is not without reward. What emerges from the kitchen is genuinely exceptional -- the sort of cooking that lingers in memory. Urban Maharajas is a destination that honours its namesake: lavish, flavourful, and fit for royalty. One simply hopes the court learns to keep pace with its guests.

Came here in our last day in Toronto. You walk in and it smells amazing. Food was amazing and lived…read moreup to expectations but the service was sub-par. Made a reservation for 2 people at 8pm and was not seated until a bit after 8:20pm. They did not offer anything to make up for the wait. It looked like they gave our table away on accident because there was a couple that had just sat down. And we were about 10 min early so it's not that we were late and they gave it away. It would have been nice to at least have offered a drink or dessert, especially since there is not standing space/waiting room so you have to awkwardly hover near the front of the place. What was even more annoying is when we finally sat, they actually came to take orders from a table that sat down AFTER us first. Again, not sure if the waitresses were new but it was getting super late and we had just driven for 3 hours so we're hungry and had an early flight the next day and still had to go return our rental at the airport and check-in to the hotel. Hence, we came to a place that had a reservation. I ordered a herbal tea (Gulaabo) to start with since I love Rose flavor and then the Chaat Papri to hold us over. It took a while for even that to come out because as soon as it did come, 5 min later our actual dishes came out and there was very little space on the table. I ordered the Saffron lamb Korma and my coworker had the Chicken Tikka Masala. The lamb was perfection and the curry sauce amazing. The saffron flavors really blended well with the cashew creamy sauce and the lamb was so tender and absorbed the flavors so well. I had the spicy naan to eat it with and it was delicious. My coworker enjoyed her chicken tikka as well though the chicken could have been cut smaller so that it got a bit. Orr tender with the sauce. It took a while to get our check after we requested it right when the food came. Overall, satisfied with the food but not the service.

So I usually do a yake out of mains as they have a long wait for dinner but if i am in mood to enjoy appetizers i will definitely visit them by 6. Now why 3 stars- when generally they don't do reservations. But for a party of 6 or more they do and charge 18% gratuity by default. And in one of our visits they added gratuity and without informing they also asked for tipped. Blind sided us ( 2 families) paid 15 % on top, which was way more than actual bill, as 15 percent was paid on total bill . After going home when we realized, we called them but they refused to do anything. We felt like cheated and misinformed.

Visited with my in laws and my two year old daughter for dinner on Saturday night. Overall we…read moreenjoyed our experience. The space itself is very cool, with lots of interesting artwork on the walls and a big bar at the front where you enter the restaurant. The menu is extensive so we had a bit of a hard time choosing what to try but we ended up with the gol cuppe, hare masalay ki tikka app (basically spiced and fried potato patties), malai chicken tikka, fish masala and avadhi paneer, jeera rice, and dahi (yogurt) with butter naans. I was surprised they don't offer a specific kids menu but perhaps they may add one in the future. The food was tasty and presented nicely - my fave dish was the paneer. There did seem to be a bit of a wait in between dishes but that was ok as we were having a family visit and not in a rush anyway. Our servers were nice but again were a bit slow to check in, etc. Would like to return again to try more dishes including the fusion pasta items as they sound very interesting.

Best South Indian breakfast I've had in a while!…read more I went to this restaurant for Sunday brunch after seeing all the great reviews, and the food absolutely lived up to them. Surprisingly, there were only two or three people serving, even though the menu is quite extensive. After waiting a little while, our server came over and we ordered the Idli Vadai Combo, Uttappam, Kheema Dosa, and filter coffee. Everything was amazing! The food tasted incredibly fresh, and what I especially loved was that it wasn't overly fermented like you sometimes find at other South Indian restaurants. It genuinely felt like eating breakfast in Chennai. The food alone made me give this place 5 stars. The ambiance was also very pleasant and made the experience even better. My only small gripe was the service. We had to wait a bit to place our order, and I had to remind them about part of the order. But considering how good the food was, I can easily overlook that. I'm from Southern California, and unfortunately we don't get South Indian food this good very often. I would happily come back here again and again. Highly recommended!

I had a plain dosa with coconut chutney, made just like they do in India, nice and crispy. Loads of chutney. We also had the parota with a side of egg curry, and egg masala, very nice.

Thank you for the welcome dining experience, we can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu.

It comes with really tender tandoori chicken and grilled shrimp. The meat is very tasty with a good-sized portion. The butter chicken curry was so good. They ran out of roti, so I settled for garlic naan and basmati rice. The lamb Rogan josh was recommended by our server. He claimed it was his favorite. It was good and on the spicy side! Bathroom is down the steep steps. It's dark. Credit card accepted. (Also posted on Google)

Now everyone knows that this place to go for the paranthe and my oh my were these paranthe…read moreabsolutely delicious! We got the masala dosa paranthe and the Aloo, Gobi, paneer and paranthe -- they were both DELICIOUS . I would say one caveat is that the normal spice level for the masala dosa is quite spicy so you would need some yogurt along with it, or I would recommend getting no spice level for the dosa paranthe. On the other hand, the other paranthe was great--no need to change anything about it. Overall you should be aware of what time you are arriving because the space is very limited here, especially if you're in a larger group you might not find a seat. You might have to take your food to go. It's great for absolutely fresh food and very, very filling food!
