SAT SRI AKAAL (truth-honor-timeless) - is what I said to the honor as we were leaving - the traditional food in this Indian (Punjabi) restaurant was excellent. We dined early as snow was predicted and staff were ready and waiting to serve a delicious meal - made to order as far as spicy or not so . . . The choices were great, but not overwhelming as some restaurants can do and I find a big mistake. The waitress helped with what to order and they got everything right. They have good non-alcoholic choices ie mango drinks etc and naan and sauces and all the fine smells and tastes of India. We were happy with everything - the only and always problem: PARKING!!! not their fault. Mary and Rudy Ralian - and we will be back. Five star dining and service. Thank you!!!

We came for the thanksgiving buffet. The staff was wonderful and attentive, and the food was delicious. The owner stopped by our table to see how we liked the food, and told us they will have buffets for the upcoming holidays with different menus for each.

They put an automatic 20% gratuity (table of 2). For two people it came out to $90. (35$ each for lunch + 20% gratuity + 10% tax). Way too expensive for lunch at a casual restaurant. Not worth.
MaharajaResponded on 1 December 2024
Thank you for dining with us, Janae. During holidays, our pricing is adjusted (per person pricing and gratuity) and prominently displayed for guests to consider prior to partaking in our buffet offering. Local sales tax for food and beverage establishments is also 8.4%. If you could kindly message us, we would love to accommodate you on your next visit.

Great service and food quality. Don’t be deterred by the outside, inside was very comfortable and pleasant but modest. Food can be tailored to your spice level and our party enjoyed mild to medium hot dishes. Very good for sharing.
