Maharaja Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Ramstein-Miesenbach

I was disappointed for a number of reasons. This is a cash only business…..we are living in the 21st century folks…..start accepting bank cards (debt/credit), it’s safer than cash and it helps prevent money laundering and ensures everyone pays their taxes! We lived the the Middle East for over a decade, the food was a poor example of the Indian cuisine available in India or the Gulf States. However, it was not too shabby for German standards. The nan is not like what is available in India. We also asked for Punjabi spicy but received “German spicy” (which is no spice whatsoever)! The owner seemed like a nice man and was talkative with the guest. However, the primary waiter had zero command of English or German. I had to resort to my limited Hindi to communicate to which the waiter replied “Punjabi no Hindi!”

A two star rating is very gracious for this establishment and...

So this place is......ok. It's not "nasty" is just not very flavorful. Indian is one of my favorites so i'm really critical about them. My best friend is Indian and i'm Caribbean so we share similar food interest. One thing we both like and look for is SPICE. We like it spicy and although I'm fully aware that my slice level is different from others, this place has NONE. Even when you order spicy, I can't even taste anything close some black pepper. The lasse was NOT lasse. Idk what that was. It was ok but if wasn't it. The Samosa was a shame. Now that deserves a "no". Was no flavor at all. And they served it with RANCH! The lamb curry was fine, again, minus the lack of spice. My ultimate suggestion.... go to Royal Aroma in K-town if you want Indian. Staff was really...

When my family and I first dined at Maharaja the food was absolutely wonderful. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had in Germany. However, when I ordered the food for take out it was as though the food was made by a completely different and far worse restaurant. The Naan was obviously pre-made pizza dough, and the curry for my Lamb Korma, my wife's Palak Paneer had the same exact sauce - which tasted like plain tomato soup. My wife outright refused to eat her meal.

I honestly think the restaurant uses inferior food for take out and delivery. But they bring their "A" game for customers who show up to dine in because their complaints can actually be heard by the staff. I want that good food that I had the first time, not that weird stuff they served me...
