Maharaja - SoHo — Restaurant in London

Anyone doubt my review can check previous ones as I give credit where it’s due.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We ordered two biryanis and a prawn sizzler, and honestly I think the chef must’ve lost his taste buds somewhere in Soho. The biryani was so bland and lifeless, it could’ve passed for boiled rice with stage fright. Small portions too maybe they ran out of flavour halfway through cooking.

I even asked the waiter if the food was fresh, and he gave me a dramatic “Oh, we never serve stale food” speech, then vanished before our meal arrived. Smart man he must’ve known what was coming.

The prawn sizzler and chapatis my friend ordered didn’t help either the chapatis could double as coasters, and the sizzler didn’t sizzle. To top it off, the prices are as inflated as the restaurant’s claim of being “authentic Indian.”

To top it off, when our phones ran out of battery, they were kind enough to charge them quickly for us. Every detail, from the service to the atmosphere, spoke of excellence. We left with full hearts and full stomachs. Highly...

I had an amazing experience at Maharaja! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and everything only got better from there. The food was absolutely delicious fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented.

What truly stood evening special. He was attentive without being intrusive, knew the menu inside and out, and made great recommendations that turned out to be perfect. On top of that, he’s kindness and genuine smile made us feel so well taken care of it’s rare to come across service that feels this thoughtful and personal.

I’ll definitely be coming back again soon, and I’ll be recommending Maharaja to friends and family. If you visit, I highly suggest asking for Shakil, he made our...
