Maharajah India Cuisine — Restaurant in Colton

I called and reserve my place also I went around 9pm 9th of Nov 2022 , to get my food compo that thali plates non-veg , worst food taste I never ever had before. They said authentic but it’s not a Indian food tast . Even the food so cold they charged almost $20 , the garlic naan with lots of baking soda flavour also old chicken meat in side of the tomato purée gravy with salt nothing taste at all also they said it’s a chicken curry, also lentils dal cooked with just salt also it’s not Indian dal fry or dal tadka … , Sambar with vegetables it’s ok missing real authentic flavour and spices feel Sambar because of the vegetables. I guess it’s frozen vegetables but I’m not sure because it’s messed with dall little . Some rice so dry in top frozen peas and correct I don’t understand why they put top of the rice also the rice so cold it’s not fresh at all . All of the food no flavour at all there is no tast also there is no any spices and Indian food flavour . maybe some people think very hard to satisfying with taste for all people but I’m not like that i will compromise my self also I respect cooking also I will be ok with some food if not perfect also . but I can’t do with this Restaurant food quality. it’s not minimum taste at all.. I don’t understand why they are mentioned that it’s a authentic restaurant!!! Also when I ask with them about food , they said American don’t know Indian food taste, also they don’t like spicy also spices!!! It’s Weird them answer. then the CHEF old mama came talk to me how was the food .. I said it’s okay with little smiles , she said that’s the way to go out . She told me to go out indirectly when other costumers are sitting in the dining…!!! I never ever recommend this place for who do want to taste authentic Indian...

It's not that the food isn't good. It's delicious. The portions are seriously lacking. I called ahead and ordered the chicken Tikka Masala and had my husband pick it up for me. When I opened the bag I was sure he brought me the wrong thing. I had barely a cup of rice and the chicken masala was just a cup (and I mean that as a measurement) and was mostly broth with about 8 chunks of chicken. It was a child's portion of food that cost $18. I could have easily made 6 times the amount for half the price. I haven't been back since. No matter how much I'm craving those flavors I just wait until I can get what I need to cook it for myself. Which is typically just whatever meat i may need since I have all the indian spices in my pantry. I've never sat down to eat there so maybe the portions are slightly better when there in person. They shouldn't be though, they should be the same regardless. And this all happened before the insane inflation so I don't even want to THINK about what their prices are now. Chicken and rice are not expensive. The spices are not difficult to find, these dishes are not difficult to make. I find it disturbing when food is priced this high with insanely small portions just because it's considered "exotic" or "ethnic". I could understand if it was goat, or ox, or some other uncommon meat...but it was CHICKEN. I give them 5 stars on service because they are very friendly and they greet you very warmly, and the atmosphere is very relaxing and not...

#FOODPOISON#ALERT# We went to this restaurant first day and ordered vegetarian thali and some non veg curries and naans, felt they were ok, non veg was not good though! The next day we went again for lunch since it is near to our hotel, and ordered chicken biryani, it’s not even biryani or anything, they just gave some chicken gravy and on top of that added some meshy lemon white fried rice, that’s not even basmati rice and which is full of lemon flavor and it’s like lemon white rice, we couldn’t eat that, it was not eatable. And to my bad we also ordered chicken tikka masala they added beef in it, you can check in the photo, beside chicken there is beef as well, and when we asked they said it’s lamb! Please never try non veg dishes here. The meat also tasted like rotten. You could try vegetarian thali, it was ok. I will not recommend this though! On top of this we ate here just before we are traveling back to Sacramento from San Diego, and I got my stomach upset and I have to stop several times for restrooms, lot of inconvenience with loose motions, it’s all because of that spoiled meat there. My daughter also got infected after coming home, she had loose motions too. Please never go to this restaurant, they are not hygienic, using full red color in chicken, using rotten meat. My total journey from San Diego to to Folsom was very much troublesome because of eating food here. The service also very slow and they are not caring about us. Please don’t go there to...
