Maharaj — Restaurant in Bassetlaw

As a tourist visiting nearby place, we visited this restaurant yesterday for dinner! Food was not authentic but I guess hugely modified to cater to western pallet! Garlic naan didn't look like freshly made! The prices on the menu didn’t match what was charged! There was a note in the menu the prices have been updated. One assumes that it could be say 5-10 % increase in the displayed prices; but bill shows increase of up to 30%! I feel £4.50 for a garlic naan & about £10 for 4 papadam with chutneys are way above what are charged on best restaurants & way beyond the London prices for this food that is at best average! Perhaps, the fact that there is no competition nearby is what is driving these - but I think better to drive 10-15 minutes more to a place that is more authentic...

Takeaway delivery - Delivery was quick and the bloke who answered the phone was polite and referred me to their website for a slight saving opposed to ordering through a well known delivery site, these were unfortunately just about the only positives.

Ordered a Lamb Rogan Josh and requested no onions, there were so many onions the curry was extremely lumpy. Couldn’t taste any tomato at all which is odd for a tomato based curry. The butter chicken curry was watery, bland and had a baby food type texture.

Naans were really doughy around the edge and crisp in the centre. On the positive side the rice was cooked.

Wasn’t our first time ordering from here but unfortunately will...

Avoid this restaurant. We visited after a lovely trip to Sundown. We were a table of 7, including 3 children. The restaurant wasn't very busy had a few other tables. We asked for 2 more naans, however they never came. When I asked we were told they were forgotten about and that we had made the waiter run around after us! We only asked for some paper and pens for the kids to write on and a few extra glasses, nothing out of the ordinary! I just couldn't believe how rude the waiter was, he then went onto say that he was the manager! Has no clue about customer service. The food was nothing special and very overpriced too. Definitely won't...
