Maharaja Indian Restaurant

We have been to the restaurant several times.
As always, the food was outstanding and service was prompt.
Everything was just faultless.
It is a top restaurant.
We will be back soon.

The night was lovely. Food was great and service was excellent. We’re definitely coming back to try other menu. Thanks for a great night.

Staff were amazing. So helpful and attentive. Food was delicious and the portions were generous.

Food was flavorsome, and staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time and definitely we will be back. Thanks Maharaja team.

Great experience at this restaurant. Lovely food and friendly service.

Such an awesome place to go if you're after fantastic Indian food. The atmosphere is great with spacious tables that allow the food to placed on the table without a problem. All the staff are friendly and attentive.

We were those annoying people with the Dietary requirements, however this did not remotely phase our wonderful waiter who looked after us last night. The service was unobtrusive yet attentive and the food was so incredible. Thank you for looking after us so incredibly well. We will certainly be back.

The food was excellent as was the service ...would recommend this Restaurant !!

Nice but have had way better tastes of India

Delish food choice of lentil Chicken dish & butter tika masala with fabulously fresh spinach feta Naan. Presented well as always. We will be back.

Lovely meal and service thank you

Lovely food, and great and friendly service. :)

Food was delicious. Service was good without being over attentive. Staff very friendly. I will be going back

Started with a delicious platter & the mains were excellent flavour. A pleasant evening, easy parking & great service!

Our last experience at Maharaja a few months back left room for improvement especially in the service area.
As I said in a Review, Maharaja is usually our favourite Indian Restaurant here in Christchurch.
But, because we really like it there, we were always going to return- and this time I rated the experience as 4.5*'s.

So, having set the background, this Maharaja visit was right back up to their usual high standards and Customer experience.

For the three of us, we ordered the Mixed entrée $18.50 option plus two of us had the Chicken Tikka Masala “mild to medium” and I ordered a Butter chicken Tikka Marsala - " Mild" and all three and the entrée were very good indeed.
We took full advantage of the excellent wine glasses on offer which did full justice to our B.Y.O. wines - a Greystone Barrell fermented Sauvy and a Glasnevin Single Vineyard Gewurztraminer from the 2011 vintage and both these Waipara wines did full justice to our meals.
The Atmosphere at Maharaja is above average and provides several dining areas in what must have been a majestic home in years gone by.
The layout too, allows for some privacy and reduced noise levels. Much appreciated.

We will be back again soon to further explore the other options that the comprehensive Menu provides.
If you enjoy Indian Food, then the Maharaja is worth a try for a good night, either for a casual night out or for a more special occasion.

It was a son and dad dinner to celebrate Father's day. It was a lovely sunny and awesome to have some awesome quality time

Spot on as always!
This restaurant is an amazing place. Highly recommend it!

Three of us went on Tuesday night for a friends birthday. Could not fault the food. Lamb was beautiful and the prawns for the entree the best I've had in a long time. Large and juicy with a very thin batter. Quite frankly the staff were just delightful and most friendly and that alone made it a most pleasurable experience. Will definitely be back. Look forward to the lunchtime opening.

Very nice will be going back.
Just too cold initially for me, as we dined early and the fire had not been on

A friend and I had a lovely evening yesterday. The suggested goat curry was excellent! And the butter tikka masala was exceptional in taste. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It was a very very nice experience. Highly recommended :)

From arriving at the restaurant to ample off street parking, greeted by friendly helpful staff, our experience was fantastic. The service was great as they helped us choose interesting food. The taste of the food was interesting, from the entrees through to the desserts. We chose the banquet and were very satisfied.
And we felt excellent after the meal too. Make an effort to go there if you like or would like to try quality Indian food.

This is not the first time that we have dined at Maharaja and as usual our experience was great. The service was particularly good and the food was completely cleared from the plates. No take homes from this restaurant. Too good for that.

The food was really yummy and the service was great! One of the best Indian restaurants I have visited in ages!! I will be recommending to my friends!

This was our first time using first table and Maharaja were absolutely wonderful. Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Best mango chicken we’ve had in a long time as most places make it too sweet!

We had the best time! The staff were awesome, checked on us often, chatted and laughed with us, great food and atmosphere - we’ll definitely be back!

A warm & welcoming atmosphere awaited us on arrival at the Maharaja. We had dinner with friends & decided that the Banquet was the best way to go. It was a wonderful treat with entree main & dessert even coffee.

The food is always consistently tasty, and service was great.

The service was super friendly and made sure we understood 'hot' temperature haha the food was great, fluffy rice and large naans made the night zip past. A great place for family and couples to enjoy time away in a clean and peaceful space.

Overall, a wonderful Indian experience. We were greeted on entering the restuarant and seated in a very comfy and private spot.
Our prawn starters were a light, fresh and delicious way to start our meal, and our Lamb Madras mains were simply amazing!
Top Mark's for flavour, the meat was so tender, the rice light and fluffy, and the naan bread was to die for!
All our food came out with perfect timing and we couldn't fault it at all.
Would certainly recommend and we will be back!!

Great food and excellent service. Best indian restaurant in Christchurch! I’m always enjoying to dine here:)

Best Indian restaurant in Christchurch!
Great food, atmosphere and service!
We loved the vegetable samosas and garlic naans. Cute wee spot for a date night.

Top service, top atmosphere and top food and drink.

Friendly staff and great food

Great, well priced Indian meal. Have been here before. Consistently good.

Have been to Maharaja multiple times and as always it was as pleasant dining experience.
Great ambiance, friendly service and faultless food. Will be back.. again

I had a lovely meal, will have to go again soon.

Lovely wait staff, nice surroundings and great food made for a wonderful evening.

The service was great..we were greeted the moment we entered the room. He was polite and friendly. During the course of the night, there were making sure that we are catered of our needs.
The place is beautifully decorated, very authentic Indian, the music and the decor. There is a good parking space for everyone.

The food were presented well and very delicious! All four Curries that we ordered were full of beautiful aromas and great taste.
There were four of us at the table, two were from Uk, and they said great comments about the food and the service, also there were two Chefs, me included. And we both commented how good our experiences were at the Maharaja Indian Restaurant.
We are very proud of you.

I highly recommended this place to all diners.

From one Chef to another...Well done!

The food was delicious as always and the staff were really friendly. They made a real effort to make it a special occasion for our daughter's 16th birthday. Thank you

Enjoyable place to dine in a cold night. The food was very good.
