Just home after an amazing Christmas Day dinner, the food was excellent as always . Both the Indian dishes and traditional Christmas meals were so lovely. We have spent a few Christmas days here and this year didn’t disappoint. Choice of dishes was great .. fantastic value for money .

We absolutely love this restaurant. We've been there numerous times before, but today was extra special. It was for my amazing dad's 80th birthday and it did not disappoint.The staff were so courteous and friendly, as always. The food was superb, as always, and as always ours eyes were bigger than our bellies, so we went home with doggie bags. Well, that's lunch sorted for tomorrow.As it was for a special occasion, we requested the VIP booth, which comfortably fit nine adults and an almost six year old. It was so nice for us all, it felt like we were sharing such an intimate dinner and the outside world was far away from our thoughts.Quality time, with quality people, in a quality restaurant, serving quality food.Outstanding.

Went for another family meal at the Maharaja on bonfire night , we all chose the buffet option, the food was delicious again. The staff as usual were very friendly, polite and attentive. The Maharaja has become our family go to place for a meet up meal. 5*

Went on a Tuesday evening so wouldn’t expect fireworks when it comes to atmosphere, but it wasn’t empty. The decor is quite plush and Indian music in the background adds to the ambience. The waiters were very pleasant and attentive and the food, although a little salty, was otherwise excellent.They have a very impressive dance floor of which they are rightly proud and I expect it comes into its own on busy nights.

I celebrated my birthday here with a few close friends on Sunday afternoon, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our time, especially being seated at the VIP area, which was nice and cosy. The food, service and atmosphere were all great and I would highly recommend this place to others. I have been here a few times now, for both their buffet and a la carte, and have never been disappointed. I will certainly come back again.

Some of the best food about. If you’re looking for a proper curry this is the place. Come down on the weekend and got the buffet and it’s only fair to say it was one of the best curries I’ve had. Will be going back.

A ‘proper’ Indian restaurant with friendly, professional, helpful staff. We were here for a family 21st birthday. Such helpful staff, nice background Indian music (not too loud), relaxed atmosphere, parking outside, very reasonable prices and the very best of Indian food. They have a very large range of dishes on the menue and cater for all tastes. We will def be back soon.

Cannot believe I found this hidden gem! Food was amazingly well balanced, and Front of House Manager Sam couldn't stop singing praises for the Executive Chef Trilochen, which was, in my words, an understatement as the food captured the essence of India without the over bearing heat and spice level. Tried the chicken tikka biryani and lemon chicken tikka, and I myself joined the wagon with Sam in singing praises. Great banter with staff who were very helpful and polite. Kudos. Would love to see something like this in London. To top it off, they have a shisha lounge!Dietary restrictions: Food is halal - amazing for a nomad like myself

Really great atmosphere, amazing furnishing and everything. It was a Friday so buffet and DJ night fantastic for our Xmas do. Only downside is buffet didn't have many dishes and we didn't eat til gone 9pm. I'd have preferred to be able to have a la carte service rather than only buffet. Food was really delicious but soft drink quite expensive-nursed same one all night. Would have liked designated driver discount if could be offered so discount on soft drinks for road safety but there you are can't have it all. Would go back food was fabulous!
